I'd love to see the old version of the MU top 16 call (under IMG) specially for these past few years, when there was a simple Q&A session for each contestant as it could help the selection committee to give a score by seeing how well they communicate directly before deciding on the top 5 instead from a record. Also about the selection committee, it could be biased due to most of the judges are from USA or the America continent (8 out of 10 judges) unlike last year's selection committee. We love to see more variety of judges from different continents for upcoming MU ❤️

I dont think judges are bias top 16 all deserved to be there and the top 5 performed really well. Being in the top 16 was already well selected smart women because they were all interviewed already. Top 16 competes who did the best poise pasarela being confident how they carry them selves on the stage! Top 5 compete for who asnwer the question well all the way to top 3!

The excitement, emotion and everything felt when India (Divita) was called this year was something very special and fulfilling. Never underestimate anyone's worth💯♥️🇮🇳

[@MISU2004A]

I totally agree with u

[@theKoreis]

Wow, this MU was all that it should have been in the past. No favorites played, no racism, and I mean these ladies "stepped it th UP"! They are as absolutely amazing as they are beautiful. Smart. Powerful. Dedicated. Wow - they can change the world, no doubt! We've got architects, designers, teachers, astronautical engineers, lawyers, sheesh! I rooted for ALL of them and it made it so wonderful to watch. No disappointment with ANY of these finalists! My favs were Nepal, France, DomRepublic, Mexico, Curacao, Seychelles and Portugal

En el miss Universe No sólo buscan la hermosura de la mujer, sino la inteligencia y sabiduría, a la peruana le falto ser más humilde y mostrar con lo que hace en una comunidad con los demás... Pero bueno será pa la próxima! Y gane la 👑

[@sutzen7770]

Almighty and universe always listen to the stubborn heart .. And I bet we all Indian silently been praying for Divi for the placement and our prayer was answered so quickly ..now India 4 years of placement in a row 🥺.. To divita we didn't have anything to give back to you for representing the country in such a beautiful way but just lil thank you from the bottom of our heart, you'll always be remembered as strongest miss india to represent 🥺

[@shubhamkatke7517]

Very well said........ We are so so so proud of her We couldn't have had a better successor of Harnaaz and miss india this year. She has represented India so well with so much dignity even though she was being criticised by everyone. She exuded calmness under pressure and she proved everyone wrong by placing in the top 16 (only asian selected by jury) Thank you divita for continuing India's streak in the semis and holding India's flag higher at the international pageant. Wishing you all the love and best luck for your effulgent future ❤️

Tan linda la miss de México alegrandose cuando dijeron: Perú. Hicieron una gran amistad con Alessia 💓

[@EP-hs8di]

Claro era su amiga que compartieron habitación, la amiga, la comadre qué cosas chéveres habrán compartido entre ellas, me hubiese gustado que México hubiera estado, me apenó, pero su reacción habla que ella es auténtica y un gran ser humano, se alegró del logro de su amiga y eso le hace ser única a ella.

@@silviaitalia.928 Alexia es hermosa y llamativa, lo que incómodo a muchos peruanos fue su poca preparación para el Miss Universo y al final eso peso; Clasificó al top 16 por su fisico pero no avanzo más porque no tuvo la actitud necesaria. Si iba al concurso en dos años más habria logrado entrar al top 3

[@thetxtchapter]

A sad day for the Philippines, the country's longest streak in Miss Universe has ended. 12 years (2010-2021). Still, you made us proud Celeste! ❤️

[@grayleonhardt8631]

Correction: The longest _ongoing_ streak has ended. The USA had 22 placements from 1977 to 1998. That's 22 years, 10 years longer than the Philippines. Meanwhile, Venezuela placed from 1983 to 2003. That's 21 years. Philippines is ranked 3rd with the longest streak in Miss Universe, from 2010 to 2021 (12 years), just behind USA and Venezuela. Right now though, the longest _ongoing_ streak is _still_ 12. How? Because Miss USA has been placing from 2011 to 2022. Had Miss USA 2010 placed, their ongoing streak would've been 13 as of today.
