Hi Joseph, WOW that’s an incredible coincidence. Thanks for sharing! I love discovering those super quirky coincidences - while I don’t necessarily believe they’ve occurred for any other reason than to amuse us pageant fans, they’re loads of fun to come across nonetheless. Thanks again! ❤️❤️

Niño! Thanks for your generosity and for your continued kind words. I’m very lucky to have such wonderful supporters as yourself. Glad you enjoyed the video, and all the best to you over the festive season ❤️

Ahhhh, I did mention it!

That's because Anntonia is half Danish, her father is from Denmark

@@mysticgirl916I noticed Thailand and the Philippines are sending a lot of bi-racial contestants lately.

Why is Miss Nicaragua pure Nicaraguan? (Whatever that means) XD

Yeah, but did the entire country celebrated like they did with Sheynnis’ win?

😆 I was only 2 years old, I ask my mom but she doesn’t remember

My absolute pleasure - when I receive such nice feedback it makes it even more worthwhile! ❤️

Yes I think that would be great! Also want to make sure the crowd enjoys the show! 🇲🇽❤️

praying and hoping! that your country Mexico will place this year in the Miss Universe Pageant, wishes from the Philippines! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Thanks, Alexis! Glad you enjoy the stats and nerdy stuff too. I couldn’t resist mentioning El Tocuyo - I really think they do a great job of respectfully celebrating this “achievement”, so much so that their 2021 winner so publicly promoted it and even attended a coronation ceremony. It’s done with a lot of care, and humour at the same time.

Thanks Adi, glad you enjoyed it! In the last year I created a bunch of spreadsheets that basically has tracked all results of every country over every year of MU, which allows me to cut up the data in a bunch of ways that gives me all those stats. Thankfully I don’t need to individually research each graphic - most of the hard work has been done 😎

Yes, you never know! Much like Mexico found success in Las Vegas, sometimes those coincidences continue!

I particularly like the swimsuit competition music that debut in 1987 and was re-used in 1988, 1991,1992 and 1994. Should've bring it back.

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it. El Tocuyo is the hometown of Miss Venezuela 2015, Mariam Habach, who competed in Miss Universe 2016 and despite being a huge favourite ended up not placing. After her very energetic introduction mentioning “El Tocuyo, Venezuelaaaaaaaa”, Mariam’s non-placement led to an existing award named after Ruth Ocumárez being renamed El Tocuyo to recognise the most hyped delegate at MU each year that fails to place.

El Tocuyo is named after the hometown of MU Venezuela 2016 Mariam Habach, a candidate most pageant fans had on their list but ended up unplaced. Basically, every year, the award is "given" to the candidate whose unplacement was the biggest shock/the unplaced candidate most fans think did the best.

Thank you very much! So glad you enjoyed it. My love to Brazil! 🇧🇷❤️🥰

So nice of you - thanks very much! Glad you’re enjoying my content ❤️

I thought she might’ve been, but I’m going on Bryoni herself has said, that Kerishnie was the last before her 🤷🏽‍♂️

Hi Joseph! You know what, I used to harbour this fantasy (actually before I was TPN) that I would work for the MUO one day running their website or doing their marketing (basically my day job skills!). It’s funny that there have been a few people in the past few years since I’ve been doing this that say I should get my content in front of them. While I really can’t speak from any direct experience of dealing with the MUO (apart from them very kindly granting me media access to all their images for MU23), I tend to think they appreciate the fans, but don’t necessarily see any legitimate value to their operations, no matter how much time we as fans devote to their product and in many cases know more than some of their staff (I received an email from MU after the recent pageant that introduced our new Miss Universe as Sheynnis Palacio (not Palacios!). So, as the saying goes, “never meet your heroes”, I tend to think I should keep that fantasy just as it is, and not burst that bubble of thinking that maybe one day, they’ll come to their senses and hire me! I really would love to attend a pageant in-person one day - and maybe Mexico 2024 is the year - so I guess “never say never”! Always great to hear from you… and yes, I too have decided to keep my mouth shut about current controversies 😇 All the very best to you and your loved ones over the festive season. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving, too! TPN x

I have decided to ignore you and continue to visualize you as a commentator for the 73rd Miss Universe. I see it this way, I am at my sister's enjoying pizza and wine with her, and my husband and you appear in a box say at the left of the screen giving stats on one of the contestants who has just placed. In New Jersey you hear me screaming at the top of my lungs saying that is my friend Roger, OMG that is my friend Roger. We love your work end of statement. Again, happy holidays to you and yours. XO Joseph from the US

@@josephcantelmo8687 I think we need commentators that actually elevate and give respectability to the pageant like the old days, now the hosts and commentators are just blabbing out inane nonsense and every once in awhile they would toss out a nugget of interesting fact or trivia.

Unfortunately, now adays the cost of running the pageant becomes so high that Catriona and Zuki really spent most of their time hawking new shows on the network. I think Roger would be an amazing addition to the MU organization but alas I am merely just a fan! I still think for the fan's finals night is still exciting and worth the wait. I can't believe Miss Universe season is already over. I like it when it's in late December or even January, so we get a full year of content before the new Miss Universe is crowned.

Yes indeed! I’ve covered India’s 11 in a row in previous videos, including this one: Miss Universe’s All-Time Longest Placement Streaks (UPDATED after MU 2021) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hr6bhZh7l9vLl4k.html

Thanks for letting me know. I did indeed have a data entry error in one of the years which meant the Top 3 tally for Colombia was incorrect. I appreciate you letting me know so kindly 🥰

I think the last P would be sometimes Panama too. If they continue sending good candidates, Portugal could also join the P girls.

I beg to differ, South Africa has produced the best gowns so far.

Yes, the BC, the 4Ps and the STUVs. And about the Europeans, this year. not many of them even tried, like they had given up before it even began. Too many of them inconsistent. I saw Poland during the top 10 evening gown and wondered why she didn't look like that during the preliminaries. I wish the pageant was not dominated by any one group. In the past, the Europeans take most of the spots in the semi-finals, now they barely registered. This year the only two who made the cut was a biological man and a representative who is also half African. The Latin American delegates I have to admit is the only overall consistent group in the pageant's history.

Those are opinions. Not fact hun 😂

Talk about neighboring countries, all 6 African titleholders are from 4 countries that all are neighbors of one another. I guess the next African nation to win will be either Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique or that countries that was once Zaire.

Should stop there, so many overrated miss came from that places

From the gospel itself (Wikipedia): The Award of Ruth Ocumarez At the height of Miss Universe 2002 pageant, Ocumárez was predicted by many to be place as a semi-finalist. To the great surprise of many pageant connoisseurs, Ocumarez did not place, causing many internet bloggers to coin the pageant term the Ruth Ocumárez Award to signify a pageant contestant who seems guaranteed to be a finalist, but does not make the maximum entry at the initial placement selections of the pageant. === Thanks for your kind words! ❤️

Tocuyo

It said in the last 40 years

@@justrelax1539 it's more than 40yrs 46 or 47rys I guess when Israel took the crown

​@@victorianomonderondo1386Israel won Miss Universe in 1976 and Venezuela was the first runner up of that edition

And I think more appropriate alternatives should be given to contestants from Muslim nations. Pakistan revealed more skin in her evening gown than swimsuit, the latter of which she wore a parachute. How the hell you are supposed to swim in that?

india, pakistan and nepal placements are all wasted placements.

😂😆🤣😅

move on!nakakahiya ka🤦‍♂️

Fan votes and random awards have nothing to do with the judges scoring. Y’all just really need to get over it

@@BossBrookeArmstrong they seem to think that just because she won all of those awards that she should have won the crown, 2 of the awards that she got was because they voted multiple times so she could win 🙄

The fact that miss mongolia was stolen of best national costume and the specific fan of 'THAT' place is still complaining, I wish there's no miss from that place next edition so everyone is at peace.

There's nothing controversial sweetheart you're just delusional.

No it’s not. Most people have moved on. It’s the Filipino fans that can’t get over it

Lol what is controversial about that? Your miss shouldn't be even in top 20 🤷🏻‍♂🤷🏻‍♂

That was shown on Stern's E! Channel and after the interview, Oxana was asked by one of Stern's staff what she thought about the sexual questions Howard asked her and was she offended. She smiled and said at least she was laughing and smiling. Handled it like a true Miss Universe, being poise and not bothered by rude people.
