Miss Universe 2006 (^_^)

I was wondering if anyone got a chance to watch the Miss Universe Pageant? If you did, were you disappointed with the results? Who would you pick for this year's winner? And what do you think of Kurara Chibana's outfits??? (^_^)

here's a link:

Puerto Rico was gorgeous. I think she deserved the title of Miss Universe. I would have liked to have seen Japan win but she got very far. Japan and Puerto Rico had the best answers followed by USA (who got 5th?!)

She made first runner up? That is pretty good, I usually don't pay much attention to these, but it seems the Asian entrants usually never make it very far.

Now I kind of wished I watched it, I'd like to see the Nationality costume in full.

wow, so many beautiful pageants! I agree that miss japan is so beautiful Wub

I thought Ms Japan was going to win. It would have been different, I have nothing against Ms Puerto Rico but its kinda redundant if they always win the pageant.

I honestly think Miss Japan should've won.

Her translator totally fucked up her response to the raffled question, and most likely fucked up the question. Pardon the language, but that was the only thing that killed it for her, by discrediting the barbaric men in general and not to mention not answering the question correctly. It disheartens me to think that her loss was her translators fault.

Go Miss Japan Wub
