Miss Universe 2011 is unstoppable! Pageant fora are already filled with different reviews, criticisms, features and predictions about who among of the candidates to date deserve a spot for this year's Miss Universe edition. Millions of pageant enthusiasts, from professionals to newbies, have already shared their ideas and comments about every country's representative to the most prestigious pageant on earth, and there have been a few girls who passed the tastes of the critiques. Candid and prof pics, videos, stats, interviews and local pageant performance have been the bases for selecting the goddesses who might be able to make the cut this September. I, myself, collected all the data that I got from pageant fora and blog sites and I had them in one list. After wee hours of comparing hot picks, reviews and comments, I came up with my top 15 ladies who might shine in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I also collected some comments that I find helpful and amusing for every girl that I have in my list. I do hope you enjoy.
TOP 15: NICARAGUA
Adriana de Lourdes Dorn Rodriguez
Height: 1.75 m (5 ft 9 in)
Education: Bachelor of Public Relations, Minor in Business Management
Occupation: English television and stage actress, public relations executive
Comments from pageant enthusiasts:
"She has the presence. She is definitely the underdog of all Latina candidates for Sao Paulo." -Myles76
"Adriana sin lugar a duda Ilegara muy lejos en el MU. Bien merecido NICARAGUA! Bravo Adriana estas en todos los top MU!" - humberto
"I can see her in the top 15 for Nicaragua." – EDO
"Sometimes I like her. Sometimes I don't. It's just so complicated. She might make the cut coz she looks beautiful but definitely she has tons of work to do.." -santi_mendber
"I still don't know what to think about her. It's like Miss Czech Republic. She is looking very good or quite bad on pics. But in vid, I like her. She will be a dark horse for me coz she has stage presence." – HippieChippie
Top 14: SWITZERLAND
Kirsten Cook
Height: 1.80 m (5 ft 11in)
Education: Bachelor of Science in Biology
Occupation: Model, sales associate
Comments from pageant enthusiasts:
"Could have done better, but she is pretty." -Shamster
"Somehow, her facial features do have great similarities with that of Kirsten Dunst." -gohannx
"She is beautiful! She reminds me of Mariam Birkidel Miss Norway Universe 2008 and Miss Norway World 2010. At the same time, she has something that makes me think of Dayana Mendoza." -Crisboll
"I am not a fan of this young lade." -DreamInColor
"She's definitely pretty but they could have done much better. First impression says she'll be a clapper." -Kiwi,missosology.org
"I'm not thrilled." -gelilejo
"Her nose is so bad. Laetitia is better than her." -rockz20109
"I was expecting a beautiful face like Bianca Sissing or Miss Schwez 2006 or the sexy hottie of Miss Schewz 09. I don't think she'll make the cut. She's the weakest Miss Switzerland for the last 5 years." –prowazekii
Top 13: COLOMBIA
Maria Catalina Robayo Vargas
Height: 1.75 m (5 ft 9 in)
Education: Law Student
Occupation: Student
Here's what pageant enthusiasts say about her:
“I knew she was going to win. She’s a good speaker and I already had her and Bogota as my top 2. Anyways, I hope she prepares herself to Miss Universe. I think she’s lovely and cute.” –afrik88
“She'll have a good preparation for miss universe. She is very intelligent and I don’t find her ugly at all. I remember when Taliana won, there was this huge controversy because she was the typical Colombian queen of every year but she did excellent at MU so please don’t bash her.” – mooneyes19
“Not a good choice of winner. I like the 2nd RU a little bit, but even her ain't a crown-winning material. She’s not too good for Colombia. She needs a lot of improvement. –fa4u
“She actually has the Taliana Vargas aura. She is pretty and I am hoping for her great transformation.” -098March
“Ouchh!!! I'm a bit disappointed with the winner. I found her pretty in her crowning pictures and I think that with a good preparation she can place in MU 2011. There is a lot of time to become a good contender for MU and we can't bash her!! But I still think Huila was AWESOME, and her beauty had to be in MU 2011... Anyway, congratulations Maria Catalina Robayo!" –MissSimUniverse
Top 12: SPAIN
Paula Guillo Sempere
Height: 1.81 m (5 ft 11.5 in)
Comments from the pageant enthusiasts:
"Never seen such a differently beautiful face, which might look a bit geometric. But, seriously, I don't know. There's something that made me fall in love with Paula. She's been one of the first delegates to be crowned for the pageant on September and she keeps improving and looking great as usual. There's only a little flaws: the styling. I often don't like the way she dresses and she should always have straight hair with some curls, unlike those recent pictures with her hair "up". Anyway, Paula confirms the power of Europe this year. Interestingly, few delegates from the old continent have been crowned, and almost all of them are potential finalists/semifinalists. After the World Cup, will Spain bring home the Miss Universe crown for the second time in history?"--Greek&Latin, correspondent of missosology.org
"Definitely top 15 material! I like her brunette better because it contrasts with her eyes. She needs a bit of polishing in the body and how to work with the camera and she will be good." –AnthroBeauty
"Very different facial structure - I am not sure what to make of it. Perhaps different makeup program could help." --PureT
"Vamos a ver, tampoco está tan mal, no nos metamos siempre con las mismas, que siempre pagan las mías, las españolas. Admito que es un poco tímida, que se la ve algo insegura, pero tiene un año entero de preparación (muchísimo más que sus antecesoras, que tenían pocos meses e incluso días antes de ir al MU), que seguro le sirve para improvisar y coger tablas, estoy seguro de ello. De momento ya tiene varias galas que presentar este mes, esto recién comienza. Lo que más me importa ahora es que se ve sublime en cámara, de lo mejorcito elegido hasta la fecha para el MU 2011." --Night Malaga
I tried to translate it to English:
"Let's see, it is not so bad, not always put ourselves with them. I always pay mine, the Spanish. I admit it's a little shy, that one sees something unsafe, but she has a whole year of preparation (much more than their predecessors, who had a few months or even days before going to the MU), that surely serves to improvise and take tables, I'm sure. So far we have several galas to present this month, this has just begun. What I care about now is that she looks sublime in camera. She the best choice to date for the MU 2011." --Night Malaga
TOP 11: DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Dalia Fernandez
Height: 1.79 m (5 ft 10.5 in)
Comments from pageant fans:
"I have to say that she looks bad. The other girls are talking and hugging the 1st runner up instead of the winner. EMBARRASSING! But rumors has it that. She bought the crown." -zataboards.com
"Oh! Finally, here's the freshness that I am looking for. Anyway, she is still younger-looking version of Larissa Costa with a tinge of Ximena for me." -chorr
"Can't wait for her h=nose surgery. Magaly Febles suggested it to Zuleyka and Denise." reinasanjuan
"I still wonder that are they gonna do with her nose. Actually I find it pretty OK. The thing is her way to smile." -santi_mendber
"She looks lovely. She might take the MU 2011 crown but I really want another non-Latina to win this year." -thesiamese
"Such a breathtaking beauty. She looks fresh and beautiful." -rashid "BIG EYES, BIG NOSE, BIG MOUTH!" -Abirose, missosology.org
"Paula Abdul, is that you?" -krissynell "She's gonna be hyped but she's gonna lose! A clapper for me." -abby_saatchi
Top 10: CZECH REPUBLIC
Jitka Novackova
Height: 1.75 m (5 ft 9 in)
Education: high school student
Occupation: model
Here are some comments from pageant enthusiasts:
"OMG! Another stunner from Czech Republic! Top 5 material! Jitka was my bet, I am so happy. - valleriam
"Czech republic is on a roll! Great job!" -perfect10 "Czech Republic hasn't failed to pick a pretty girl for the past several years. That's good." –shamster
"And now we wanna see..CZECH REPUBLIC always picks good winners in the end! I would have loved to see my sentimental Tereza Dobrova being send to a pageant, too." - SuperEric
"Oh WOW! Finally a good national decision people! Last days had been a mess in nationals but not for Czech. Great choice! Jitka is beautiful." -santi_mendber
Top 9: PHILIPPINES
Shamcey Supsup
Height: 1.71 m (5 ft 7.25 in)
Education: Bachelor of Science in Architecture (Magna cum Laude)
Occupation: architect
Let's read what others think of her:
"Congratulations! You are very beautiful. I hope you will win Miss Universe. Best of luck." -Parth Pandya, India
"This grill speaks from her heart and with substance." - deo08nitiburcio,missosology.org
"Well, I think she's smarter and more beautiful than Venus Raj by miles." - raggamuffin
"She is beautiful. She may not have the body feature like Venus Raj, but face wise, Shamcey is way better than Venus." -Anne Steph, missosology.org
"She is doing everything right; preparing well in the interviews, experimenting with different hairstyles, and make up, etc. So far, I really have a good vibe about this girl." -Prince Calixto
"Why did Shamcey win? When the edition started, most people had different sets of winners where Shamcey was even not in the list. The reason is because her improvement started right from when she entered the competition and gradually increased to its best by the time the finals showed up." -ANKIT, missosology.org
"She still as 4 months and she just needs to to tone her body. She will rock Brazil. Let's be objective!" - Mahaj
"I hope that they'll do good when it comes to styling her classical look. I hope she'll be more prepared and sexy coz that's needed in MU! Her credentials is her biggest weapon..gosh! MAGNA CUM LAUDE--TOP NOTCHER. I guess it'll kinda give the judges that impression of 'this girl is something', 'an achiever' and I am hoping that kind of something is the kind of MU now. For me she's 90's type of MU. She lacks sex appeal. Sorry to say this but her body is 'payatot' (very slim). It's not the sexy thin. No match to the body of Venezuela and feistiness of Aferdita! It's going to be a very tough fight!" -Annabilatra Ramamamagaga, missosology.org
Top 8: VENEZUELA
Vanessa Goncalves
Height: 1.77 m (5 ft 9 1/2 in)
Education: Bachelor of Science in Dentistry
Occupation: Dentist
Comments:
She looks so humble...good luck to her!!!" --bcdf1930,missosology.org
"She can only improve. She is beautiful but looks a little older and it affects her possibilities. But remember the impressive change of Ly Jonaitis in 2007. We got to wait." –giozeppe460
"
Her only flaws are: YES, she tends to look older IN PICTURES, and her voice is a bit annoying; but hey, if those are her only flaws, be ready because she will rock MU'11!You can't fix a squared body or a bad nose job, but a makeover, and projection in front of the cameras, YES YOU CAN.Go Vanessa!" --admiror,missosology.org
"I'm starting to like her. Maybe her make up during the coronatin night of MV makes her looks so old but in her candids she looks great..surprise surprise!" --Captain Sun,missosology.org
"She's not very photogenic. All her candids are awful, except one or two maybe. However, she looks very pretty in videos! She's very telegenic. I think she's a potential top 5 placer. I'll wait for her transformation." --valleriam,missosology.org
"Osmel won't let another Venezuelan clapping again, he's going to prepare this one for good and hopefully with less plastic surgery than Marelisa." --The Apprentice,missosology.org
Top 7: COSTA RICA
Johanna Solano
Height: 1.75 m (5 ft 9 in)
Education:
Bachelor of Arts in Psychology
Occupation: psychology student
Comments from pageant experts:
"Great body, but I never liked the face. I just don't know what to do with this lady." -pedrotoscan "The best body so far! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I think top 15 or top 10" - Nikkiii, missosology.org
"Hot body but she's not my cup of tea." – ColombianDiva
"GORGEOUSSSSS! With this body to die for, she can easily reach the top 10! Currently #7 in my list." - SantifromItaly, missosology.org
"A sure top 9! She can make it to the semis all on her merits, no Trump Card required. Way to go Costa Rica. Another placement after 2004." – rashed
"She's improving a lot. Costa Rica could finally make the cut as of now. She's a top 10." - John Kevin, missosology.org
"She's my bet so far. She resembles Pia Toscano of American Idol." - Miss Understood, missosology.org"Johanna is so hot! I love her smile and her hot body! Central America is coming up strong this year with Nicaragua and Costa Rica. I hope Guatemala could find a girl to match Jessica."- motropo
Top 6: MEXICO
Karin Cecilia Ontiveros
Height: 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in)
Education: Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design
Occupation: model
Here's what pageant fans say about her:
"Jalisco's state rocks at NB Mexico, making with Karin the third consecutive victory for the biggest title. Another example of incredible beauty with perfect facial features. I personally love this girl. She's what, for example, I don't see in the previous Mexican representatives at Miss Universe, except of Ximena Navarrete and Elisa Najera,: a mixture. A mixture of beauty, elegance and great stage presence. Many people believe that her beauty would fit more in Miss World. My point is: Are you kidding? Another back to back won't happen in only 4 years but, I definitely see her being an eventual finalist. Karin is for me the true frontrunner from Americas. "- Greek and Latin-correspondent of missosology.org
"Beautiful indeed! But I can't wait to see how this face translates in motion. Ms.U isn't a photography contest. Good luck Karin! You go girl!" --carl_arkin, missosology.org
"I like this girl! She is beautiful... not as beautiful as Jimena of course but she still beautiful! However, I don't like the fierce look on her as I've said before... it looks like she's trying too much!" --valleriam,missosology.org
"I think she is gorgeous! But if she tries too hard on stage, she can be a Stage Goddess Wannabe easily! In my opinion ,side by side with Puerto Rico and Venezuela, she is the less prepared." --jerry
Top 5: ANGOLA
Leila Luliana da Costa Vieira Lopes
Height: 1.79 m (5 ft 10 1/2 in)
Education: Business Management student
Occupation: student
Comments from pageant followers:
"Welcome back to the semifinals, Angola. Leila Lopes can be Angola's first Top 5 placement in Miss Universe if given the right package." --bjoern28, missosology.org
"Leila Lopes can really pull a surprise....remember, Angola is the Brazil of Africa...and the ties of these two Portuguese-speaking countries are so strong...." --titanic1990, missosology.org
"OMG she was my choice! Amazing I like her she should be a semifinalist! Way better than South Africa!" --rubenruizjr, missosology.org
Top 4: MALAYSIA
Deborah Priya Henry
Education: Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Economics
Occupation: Fashion model, TV host
Comments from pageant experts:
"Wow! I saw this girl at miss World once. She is really beautiful. A good representative from Malaysia. I bet this girl will blow the judges! I'm rooting for her now! Love from Spain." -baros,missosology.org
"Yeah! Deborah will win! I love her. She's the best Asian delegate so far. I'm rooting for her! She will be a frontrunner! No doubt! Good job Malaysia." -Dave, globalbeauties.com
"Malaysia's best entry in Miss Universe since 1970. I have no doubt that she will make the top 15, but the question is 'how far will she go?' -WilliamNYC,globalbeauties.com
"She didn't make it to the top in Miss World 2007 due to the MWO format (each continent to be represented by ONLY one and Miss China from Asia, who won, as the host country). This time, in Miss Universe 2011, she is going to make it." -wildrose,globalbeauties.com
"Wow, this is the face of a Miss Universe winner. I can imagine her wearing the Miss Universe crown. Such a stunning beauty. Finally Malaysia has found a true winner. Let's see if my prediction of her as the winner will come true." -lamarquise,globalbeauties.com
Top 3: PUERTO RICO
Viviana Ortiz Pastrana
Height: 1.75 m (5 ft 9 in)
Education: Bachelor of Science in Telecommunications (Magna cum Laude)
Occupation: fashion model
Here's what pageant followers say about her:
“I bet she was a man before. She's like a shemale! Not a very successful operation... :D" –jiken, missosology.org
“Sorry her legs are not good. They’re quite big for a beauty queen.” -adonia, missosology.org
“What I love about her is her facial feature...” -Leon Mark
“I don’t really like her face, but she can crack top 5 in my opinion.”–rayray
“She is improving from time to time. I guess she already knows how to work on her face especially not smiling too much! Keep up the good work, Viviana!”–David-Christopher
“I don’t think she will be our next MU with her beauty. However, thanks to her sexy body and killer catwalk. She will penetrate the semis easily. “ –abby_saatchi, missosology.org
"In MU, everything is uncertain especially if the competition is way too far from now. But with how this girl rocks each time she shows herself in public, she is more or less making one thing certain. . . her placement!!!! I sooo love her. . ." –kenhan
Top 2: UKRAINE
Olesya Stefanko
Height: 1.77 m (5 ft 9.5 in)
Education: Law student
Occupation: Professional fashion model
Comments about her:
"Ukraine keeps sending gorgeous representatives. This year won't be an exception, especially after the magnificent result achieved last year with Anna Poslavska. Talking about Oleysa, I see massive potential in this girl. Many people complain about her teeth gap, and I seriously don't get it. In 2007, we saw for the first time at Miss Universe, maybe in pageants, a bald delegate. So, what would be the problem? Does a beauty queen necessarily need to be just flawless? I don't think so. Oleysa has an interesting kind of beauty, something that immediately catches your eyes. And the eyes mark her lovely face. With more training, and hopefully, if she gains a little weight, nobody else would be happier than me to see this girl crowned as the new Miss Universe." – Greek and Latin, missosology.org
"Ukraine is physically gorgeous but I don't see that spark in her personality. But she looks very mysterious and maybe that's going to help her."--giozeppe460
"Upper-middle class beauty! Nothing special! Boring!" --Miss Universe 1000 B.C.
"I see Brooke Shields in Miss Ukraine. I don't know, I think with the eyes and eyebrows. So far, she's at the top of my list no matter how disturbing her teeth are, still have months to fix it." –sexyhippo
"She is pretty she sure will be a clapper at miss universe." –yomama
"I love this girl. If any Europeans shall make the top 5, and perhaps win Miss Universe 2011, then Olesya is your contender. She is absolutely stunning, and I just love every quality that she has to offer. She's a unique beauty that is bound to make waves in Brazil, this year." --sexydrew82 "Her face is a perfection." –Mbie
"Beautiful! If she has the walk and the body, I can see her making the final 5." –Sean "Her face isn't bad, but not perfection. I hate her smile." –wojtek
Top 1: KOSOVO
Aferdita Dreshaj
Height: 1.83 m (6 ft 0 in)
Occupation: Fashion model
Here's what pageant experts say about this goddess:
"I so don't like her in blonde. She looked more special in brown. Can somebody tell her?" -kate21
"Such grace and power shining on her very divine face. Elusively stunning! She will absolutely hit Brazil big time! Threat to all delegates as of now!" -Nathan Jerson
"She is a stunner! She reminds me a bit of Neha Dupia btw." -Pravesh, missosology.org
"The best girl! Move over Latinas! The European Queen is here!" -Jeffrey Star, missosology.org
"The one to beat as of now for the MU 2011 crown" -John Kevin, missosology.org "The results were just perfect. Good job Kosovo! OMG! This was too much for me today. So happy." –elona
"#1 as of now! The other girls are her maids! Unstoppable!" -valleriam,missosology.org
"Congratulations Aferdita! I can already see Kosovo in the top 5 next September, bitchy and sexy vibe common' from her. I lug it." -SuperEric,missosology.org
