This is so messy. The glory days of Miss Universe are gone and in a few years Miss Universe will come to an end.

[@kenlau457]

Honestly, the glory days of Miss Universe ended with 1997. From 1998 on it was constantly trying to redefine itself (setting a precedent of getting rid of the national costumes for the opening). Then Trump became personally involved in 2005 and amped up the sex appeal and to his credit, the titleholders got a lot of attention. After his departure, IMG turned it into a speech/essay contest and started this advocacy nonsense. MU had always had its own advocacies that its winners promote. Let's not pretend for a moment that MGI did not stole the momentum from MU was when it was under IMG. The current trio of Anne-Raoul_Osmel should bring the pageant back to its roots....if they listen to the criticism.

[@teej143]

I love Miss Denmark and congratulations. But this year is the worst production and format of Miss Universe in a long time. Owners are corrupt and making the event more about themselves and money rather than the candidates.

[@a73426]

I have a close friend who competed not in this pageant, but in another international one, and from this it seems that all of these major pageants have the same issues. Such a toxic environment.

[@jazzyg530]

I haven't watched or cared about a pageant since the 90's, when I was a preteen. I.think the concept of them is outdated. It's great to acknowledge the women for their work and contributions but everything else seems a little creepy. I was in a pageant once, as a child. I absolutely hated it. Maybe it's time for a newer platform for women to be celebrated and given scholarships that isn't based on pageantry and their looks.

[@bangibabs]

[@XtianJade]

Since Anne took over the MUO, Miss Uniiverse have lost its glamour, transparency and integrity. To many fans, Miss Universe is no longer an alpha pageant. A woman should lead the organization. A real woman with integrity like Paula Shugart.

[@HallOfMimi]

I wish that all the judges next year are previous Miss Universe Winners (3 from each continents) to actually be able to judge and place candidates fairly. The IMG Era of Miss Universe was at its peak where winners were all deserving due to their overall performance whether it’s about pasarela, communication skills, attitude and beauty. Only time it was a bit questionable was in 2020 when Andrea Meza won when everyone was expecting for Peru to win for doing well in both the Q&A but I heard that Andrea won as judges favoured her to win and plus her co-candidates since she is very humble and has a great attitude which is fine. Other than that since it’s JKN Era now it definitely gotten worse except 2022 when it was just handed over. Now it’s sooooo messy, half of the judges doesn’t even know or is into pageantry thus affecting everyone’s placements. For example, Philippines did very very well in her pasarela performance in the Swimsuit Portion but she wasn’t even chosen to be part of the Top 12, people complained how Canada even got in to the Top 12. In the IMG Era, it was very much fair, all candidates who were deserving to place higher were there nowadays it’s just business and who is favoured to place higher without having technical knowledge. The Top 5 in 2024 had Thailand - Owner is Thai, Mexico - Host Country, Venezuela - Co-Owner is Venezuelan. Denmark is beautiful but I think Nigeria was deserving more considering how she performed but I also heard that they only used her for clout thus why she placed 1st Runner Up. And there was also a rumour that they were looking for a candidate to win that is specifically from Europe and this was weeks before the coronation night.

Nothing wrong with a beauty pageant. We have competitions for intelligence and athletic skills so why not celebrate beauty? BUT Miss Universe used to be MORE than just beauty. I grew up watching Miss Universe and I was inspired immensely to have big ambitions. Now it’s just a circus that gets cheaper by the year.

[@geeunit831]

This year was the worst Miss Universe I've ever seen and I've watched every year since the 90's. Every thing about this years pageant from the production, format, staging, lighting, hosting, camera angles, choreography, entertainment etc was cheap and low quality. Even the winner was terrible. I can't believe Denmark won with that awful answer she gave. Ever since Anne and JKN took over Miss Universe has gone down hill. I don't see it surviving much longer.

[@rayj5091]

I knew this organization was heading down a dead end when they announced Osmel Sousa as a partner. The man does not like Black women publicly states he dont think black women are beautiful. However, many countries still sent black candidates to complete????? lol there were only 2 black finalist while the majority was hispanic.

[@mel-lerrmalete430]

MGI was absolutely spectacular and the environment seemed healthy and beautiful for their contestants... I was so tempted to stop following Miss Universe because of all the nonsense this year.

[@mel-lerrmalete430]

Honestly I was so shocked at the Miss Universe standards this year. It was really concerning. Exactly, they sacrificed quality over quality, the question of Integrity and ethics. For example the way they capitalised on the controversy surrounding Miss Universe Nigeria without doing their own vetting process on her or the matter of the allegations level against her in South Africa was a complete shocker. It was clear they used her for views ,clout and traction. I believe that is why she was placed (not won, or made it to) 1st Runner Up Miss Universe Global 2024. What a sad gullible world! If its just allegations and accusatory as they would have the entire world believe why haven't the family and Chichi herself spoken out against these so called "allegations" in their own defence... They are nowhere to be seen because they know anything they say can and will be used against them in the court of law. Also such people who stay quiet usually bribe themselves through out illegal out court settlements to protect the rest of their corrupt dealings that would be exposed by further scrutiny. All Chichi ever cries about is being "rejected" and bullied (which I don't stand for at all) /Victimised as she keeps saying (Yet it's the Nigerians btw that keep trolling and bullying Miss Universe South Africa online for being Deaf/ Differently Abled ) but nowhere does she confirm or deny the "allegations" leveled against her. Knowing Nigerians and how they never back down from a fight, her family would have counter sued for defamation and been running "Justice for Chidinma" Campaigns!! BUT because they know what they did, they chose to run with the "victim" Narrative and these Pageant Organisations Miss Universe Nigeria and Miss Universe Global jumped on the Chichi Train without caring who they are letting down in the process. There were far more intelligent, well deserving, superior in quality and talented Contestants who were sacrificed for this politically biased so called win/ pick rather e.g Nyekachi Douglas aka Miss Rivers 🇳🇬 from the Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 competition and Sakhile Zie-Dube from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 (who without controversy or scandal were able to effortlessly win the hearts of the world by being gracefully themselves). Basically Nigeria did her 2024 Miss Universe Nigeria girls dirty and Miss Universe Global capitalised on the controversy surrounding Adetshina for views, clout and traction. It was a clear business move on the Miss Universe Global organisation's part but a very dirty one on the question of standard,ethics and Integrity of the MU Pageant/Organisation.

[@jpsmooth7156]

Even then though, the reigning Miss USA '89 went on Inside Edition or another tabloid TV program complaining that the Universe organization treated her like a slave and she never received most of her prizes. Seems to be a frequent issue. I think she pursued legal counsel, as did Miss USA in 1990.

It is a business ever since, but I agree on some of your notes. IMG and Trump's era were really the peak of MU. Different styles between the two and also have their own trademarks from their queens, but their common denominator is they really highlights and prioritizes their contestants and winners unlike today's Anne's era.

For example: Philippines did so well in the Swimsuit competition and never even advanced, while others who did worse got placement... I am over with this pageant. Also, Osmel Sousa does not like black women and it was evident that many did not make it in the finals even after doing so well in the preliminaries.

[@henaimtiyaz4189]

Scrap off the title of Miss Universe and Miss World where beauty is given a benchmark. I clearly disagree with stereotyping women based on their looks and body type/body image.

There have been allegations in the pageant community about the nature of Miss Denmark’s relationship with Raul Rocha who is one of the owners and has been constantly pictured with her since she’s won. Apparently he developed a soft spot for her when she visited the Miss Universe offices in the lead up to the pageant. He’s also commented on Elon Musk’s post which is not in line with the “women empowerment” movement this organisation keeps on referencing. Definitely some shady dealings happening here and I hope that Victoria isn’t being exploited by those in power who clearly can’t be trusted and are driving their own agendas.

For me generally, i think that the whole pageant industry must put to an end. They always say that their organization has always been helping with this and that, etc. to the community. It’s what they call “beauty with a purpose”, but actually not. And all of this is a hoax and superficial. Deep within to their purpose is purely a business at all. And nowadays, these beauty pageants are spreading toxicity all over social platforms. They don’t mind whatever negative comments from the org to those who watch them. The world is continuously evolving and the social media’s innovations is powerful. And i think the whole nation’s must eradicate the whole pageantry’s and organizations. It should be banned for a lifetime and let’s focus to what and how the government could help us of what we need or address the basic problem of the world.
