Miss Universe Drought-Breakers: Placements & Crowns TPN#49

[@inthenow6701]

The Pageant Nerd is the BEST channel for pageant trivias and information. This is very hard to beat as the level of research is so impressive. TPN is like Catriona Gray from Philippines wherein it's so hard to beat her overall performance in Miss Universe.

1:09 I remember this moment in 2017 🥰 This was the year you could vote for someone on Twitter. We tried to get attention for Christina, Miss Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 but it was hard amongst sash factor countries. When she was called into the Top 16, we cried and screamed with joy 💖 that moment made our night. I hope for this moment again… this year rooting for Miss Angola 🇦🇴 Swelia, Miss Guatemala 🇬🇹 Ivana, Miss Brazil 🇧🇷 Mia, and Miss Cambodia 🇰🇭 Manita! Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be happy for any country to win, but I have a soft spot for the underdogs.

[@AnalediAfrika]

🇿🇦 As a South African I never thought we would win a crown again, but we did place and even had Top 3 after Margaret Gardiner, and after the ban. We were definitely an underdog for decades. But then came 2017 Demi-Leigh, then Tamaryn, then Zozi, then Lalela, and suddenly the world really took note of SA! We are doing well now, yes, to the point where other countries get bored with our placement and want to see new countries. I agree with that, and would love to see more African countries compete and break all sorts of droughts - Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, eSwatini. This year I think Angola and Mauritius have a chance to place and I'm rooting for them! I'm also rooting for Cambodia, Chile, Dom Rep, Jamaica, Curaçao, Panama, Jamaica, Malta, Iceland, Aruba, Perú, Vietnam, Belize, St Lucia (and more). These underdogs must just keep trying, one day they will place or even win a crown!

[@reprolover11]

Hey, you know what would make a great video? I know your main focus is on Miss Universe but at Miss World, there's been a phenomenon that has happened twice. Both India and Venezuela won many crowns in relatively short spans of times, but they also both had just 1 Miss World titleholder decades before their other victories (Venezuela 1955 ,India 1966,) and now that time has passed they both have one long after the rest (Venezuela 2011, India 2017.) Maybe you can do a video on what may cause the phenomenon and the circumstances surrounded the events, also what caused the early wins then the subsequent gaps etc. I just think it'll be interesting

[@PageantNerd]

That’s a great video idea - it’s true my main focus is MU but I do try and expand into other pageants here and there. Miss World would definitely be next on my list of pageants to cover. India and Venezuela arguably both came out of nowhere to string together some of the best stretches of success in MW (and MU for that matter). I think that would be really interesting to delve deeper into that - thanks for the suggestion. I’ll look into it! 😘

[@reprolover11]

@@PageantNerd You're welcome 😊 ❤️

[@algarcia1602]

Great Video!! But here I name some mistakes I found: 0:56 Nancy Soto made the top 10, not Top 15 3:25 I don't think England should be consider the same as Great Britain, since til 1989 three of the four constitutive nations of the UK competed completely separately (Scotland, Wales and England). And actually Great Britain's first placement as one solo nation was Amy Willerton. If that's the case, then we should consider 1980 and 1981 Tahiti's placements as French placements. Or Guadaloupe actually competed on last year Miss Universe, since Clemence Botino hails from there. 10:13 Actually Flora Coquerel posted on Instagram a few days after the finals (January 12, 2016), a picture holding a 3rd Runner-Up Crystal Trophy. So, although both 3rd and 4th RU placements weren't awarded during the final telecast, Flora was later awarded the 3rd Runner-Up placement 10:40 I believe the 90's Top 6 placements should also be considered as top 5 placements. Since they were also finalists. So The Netherlands last top 5/6 was 1992 Vivian Jansen and not the 1991 one. Same as Thailand's Gap between 1988 Victory and 2016 Chalita Suansane's Top 6 placement. Greetings from 'the place where the richest coffee is found: Colombia!!'

[@teezinc47]

3:25 MUO officially recognizes Great Britain as the successor "country" of England. It was flashed during the Top 16 announcement in Miss Universe 2017. Meanwhile, the previous appearances of Tahiti and Guadeloupe can't be merged with France since France had also competed against them during the years they participated. It's the same way that Hawaii's previous placements in MU before being a US state was not merged with USA.

[@teezinc47]

10:13 As far as I know, the 3rd RU and 4th RU Crystal Trophies for MU 2015 were already made before MUO decided to have the Top 3 as the final cut. Monika Radulovic said in an interview or posted in a social media post (can't remember exactly) that MUO let her pick one of the 2 trophies. She was the first to pick before Flora. She was not able to see the writings of the trophy before getting it. So she got the 4th RU and the 3rd RU was given to Flora. There was no official statement from MUO about the actual rankings of the two ladies.

[@teezinc47]

10:40 Yes, Top 5 and Top 6 should be considered in the same level of placements.

[@PageantNerd]

You didn’t miss it! I’d considered also including first time placements (e.g. The Bahamas in 2021 and Portugal in 2011) but the video was getting too long. I’d contained this video predominantly to gaps BETWEEN placements or crowns, with a quick mention of those looking for first time placements. Given I’d mentioned Chantel in my last video I’d opted to just go with next stats for this one, but indeed she was a big drought-breaker!

[@pedropablopichardo7927]

Without a doubt for me TPN is the best when I want to know the Facts !Congratulations for the excellent job you do ! You asked about something that we want to see ( for future videos ), I noticed that this video started with the 1984 opening number and you continued until 1995., now my Request is: How about you continue with 1996 through 2021 ? Just a wish. Thanks

[@PageantNerd]

Thanks very much! Very kind of you to say. I’ll most definitely look to include more recent opening numbers in future clips - thanks for the suggestion. The reason I’ve typically stopped just before the Trump era is because the tone of the opening numbers changed at that time. In short, they were a little less cheesy and old fashioned - and I was a fan of the cheesy and old fashioned opening numbers! After that time sometimes there was choreography, sometimes there was just a bunch of walking around on stage with random arm movements, songs sometimes with vocals, usually without. In short, there was less consistency from one year to the next. I definitely loved a few of the Trump era opening numbers - 1998 in Hawaii, 2005 in Bangkok, 2010 in Vegas - and some since then. I’ll pull together some of my faves and get them ready for new clips. Thanks again, and happy holidays! 🥳

[@grgosltravel5896]

This is probably the best analysis of the Miss Universe pageants held over the years. Sadly, you can see in recent years, the pageant gets monopolized by few countries for whatever reason. Sometimes you wander in the future there will only be those 15-20 countries will participate in the Miss Universe, and others will just boycott the whole pageant. In 2017, I can't believe what they did to go from top 16 to top 10. Correct me if I am wrong, I think only in that year they counted online votes to go from top 16 to top 10. What I saw there, the judges were determined to make their own selection. I strongly believe, the MU organization tried to make some changes after taking it from Trump. However, I believe the organization in 2017 got swamped and overtaken by just few countries that everyone knows about, that is out of line when it comes to beauty pageants, demanded the top 16 to count online votes fearing their countries will not make it to the top 10. That was totally unfair for a country such as Sri Lanka, cause the population is so small compared to other countries. I mean you can have just one with highest votes in the top 16, but to go from top 16 to top 10 use online votes and judges choices was totally ridiculous and outrageous. Countries like Sri Lanka are being ignored because of sash factor, only time will tell whether the new organization will make it better or worse for the Miss Universe pageant. Hope for the best, but let see what happens. I am glad Sri Lanka is hosting the Miss Tourism World pageant from December 8 - 20, 2022. This is what countries like Sri Lanka do to showcase what the country is capable of doing in the pageant world. Hope to see a great pageant and a show in Sri Lanka.

Not related but did you know the judge's scores from Miss Universe 2013 were actually published. However, instead of being televised as usual, this time the judge's results were published through the app "You Be The Judge". Here the public could participate online and evaluate each of the participants. And it was through this medium that Ariella Arida from the Philippines was the winner, obtaining a place in the Top 16. At the end of the actual ceromony viewers were able to get an exclusive look at the official 2013 MISS UNIVERSE finals judges’ scores. The thing is almost nobody knows about them. They're in Wikipedia btw.

[@PungiFungi]

That created a bit of controversy because that year the top 5 was determined by the averaging the swimsuit and gown scores while in previous years, it was the solely the score of the top 10 competition (swimsuit in 2003 to 2005, gowns afterwards) that determine the top 5, as a result, some contestants in past editions like Ireland was deemed robbed of a top 5 spot.
