Deja Vu?

What's up with Miss Universe 2007? Is it me or can you see the blatant 'politically-correctness' of the show?
Were they trying to correct last year's mistake of not giving the 2006's title to Miss Japan? Isn't it obvious they are trying to show they do not favour Latinas anymore?
"Hey, we're not racist. See, another Latina is not crowned. We chose an Asian over her instead."
Deja vu? Last two women standing: one Latina (Miss Brazil) and the other Asian (Japan again...).
Unlike last year, Miss Japan won. Miss Latina lost.
But unlike last year, this year's Miss Japan wasn't as deserving (nor was she the obvious crowd favourite).
Her answer for the Q and A? So-so.Her looks? So-so.
And what's up with the gesturing when she talks? Does she want to poke some one's eyeball out? One word: handcuffs.
Miss Korea (above, second from the left) was also placed in the top five (just in case one Asian face does not make it, maybe?). But Miss Korea was HOT. Super hot. But her Q and A was a tad disappointing and a lot 'duh'. "Missionary work is my dream?"
Yeah right, honey (no pun intended).
Miss Korea... Honey Lee... *drools*Miss Thailand was in the top 15. Miss India, top 10.
Miss Philippines was crowned Miss Photogenic. Miss China, Miss Congeniality.
See the trend?
Are Asians the flavour of the year now? Making up for last year? Obvious, I say.Even the judging panel consists of some familiar Asian faces: Michelle Kwan and James 'Ando' Kyson Lee (from Heroes). Two Asian judges compared to last year's nil. But the judges are still all Americans though.
Miss U.S of A is actually another of my favourite. She looks like Jessica Alba, no?
She fell on her butt during the evening gown segment. But she picked herself up calmly and elegantly. Ouch... Poor poor girl. I kinda feel so bad for her. And her expression as she fell was one of disappointment and shock. A fall is a fall; Michelle Kwan (an ice-skater) must have really felt for her.
To add salt to the wound, she was booed (very loudly) by the (mostly Mexican) audience during her Q and A. But she held her composure up even as the booing continued and drowned out her answer. Isn't this supposed to be a classy black tie event? I'm sorry, for a moment there, I thought this was a soccer match.
Too bad she got fifth. She was one classy lady. The smile she flashed when she was announced as the forth runner-up says it all: disappointed but determined.
Blogger's Note: What? There was a Miss Singapore? We sent a representative?

even if this pc-ness is narrowed down to contestants in southeast asia we won't make it lah.
why are we wasting time all? it's not really all down to looks as we can see from the contestants who made it to the top whatever.
it's about class. the intangible aspect of it of which we never invest in.
contestants from venezuela and india actually go through classes and rigorous training to prepare them prior to the contest which we just fail to see the importance in.
Yeah, I heard they have beauty schools in India and South American countries to groom these future Miss Universe hopefuls.
They need to have a decent education level too in India.
What does Singapore have? Yup, even with the other Southeast Asian beauties, we will always be outshined and outposed.
