FINAL QUESTION! Miss Universe 2005

[@withsoodiipa3873]

Natalie was so poised. She has best body, very confidence, intelligent, well spoken and humility. Very positive attitude like she said.

[@pol4171]

If only Venezuela used her interpreter, she might have been able to express more. She actually had a strong answer to a difficult question.

[@ivideszatigny4163]

She was kill visiting venezuela. Sad fact, a country with bad and selfish goverments can kill you.

[@Critique808]

I thought she did well.

[@ynadejesus8172]

🙄 she studied and was raised in Florida. The question is about the government and she's just being careful

[@Pascal_972]

I don’t think it was a matter of using the interpreter or not. Monica had pretty good English but the question wasn’t so easy to deal with as she had to try to be politically correct.

1st time I saw all latina answered all questions in English inspite of having an interpreter. Very nice..

[@cozytimes4461]

thats because latinos speak different languages french, italian, portuguese, Spanish and romanian

[@tw5543]

They're all gorgeous and well spoken. Nice to know that they didn't take advantage of getting the extra time to think and speak by answering without a translator. Miss Mexico 2020 cheated by having a translator translate her answer for her final statement when she didn't have a translater for her top 5 answer. Her translator made her answer sound better than what she actually said.

[@seaofroses8888]

@@tw5543 The alternative would have been her speaking in broken English which is even worse/more unfair. Although there are pros and cons of using a translator 1) The translator could make the answer sound better 2) contestants who speak/ understand English have extra time to think Cons: The translator could make a mistake

Monica grew up in Florida. DR and Puerto rico grew up speaking English. Mexico on the other hand went or was sent to Canada to learn English

[@medelpascual7212]

Miss Canada’s answer is so phenomenal, she used proverbial phrase “glass half empty or half full” as a general litmus test showcasing her worldview. She’s very good in employing rhetoric to epitomize a particular situation, which in this case is her optimism

[@yt9404]

That line is overused and none to be boast of. It's more like everyone knows that already. Unless, yiu don't get enough education or didn't learn or heard that in highschool or college.

She got the easiest question and her answer wasn’t really ground breaking. It was just the only one that was most clear in English.

[@eflorian4655]

If I remember correctly Natalie was then studying to become a doctor? Not surprised her answer was so strong & to the point.

[@taroupriapus9760]

the beauty, the calmness, the way she handled the interview... miss Canada is obviously the winner here

[@TK-oz6ez]

MEXICO: good content, delivery a bit dry PUERTO RICO: good content, but she’s wasn’t speaking clearly DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: not sure that being yourself is what men can learn most from women CANADA: the best answer of the five. You can tell she was like “yessss I have the best conclusion EVER”. She was so excited that she didn’t screw up. VENEZUELA: tough question. the economic and political problems of Venezuela were because of the government but she couldn’t say that in front of a billion people. It’s always safer to go with the environment. Billy was like “k, bye”.

Here because of Monica Spear.Been following her life (and death) recently (after I saw a song her friend wrote her after her passing ,called "amiga".) And my heart mourns. What a kind spirit. You've mentioned how you felt about having a difficult time answering this question because you didn't want to talk about politics. U mentioned on your question that the solution is to help eachother (in regards to the difficulty your country Venezuela is going thru). I would imagine if more people helped eachother the violence wouldn't be so big in Venezuela costing so many lives due to violence. You included. As your husband. And your family especially your daughter trying to recover the pieces of healing somehow... There is so much darkness as there is kindness in this human world. I hope one day your daughter's deep wounds will transform into such love as she sees countless times how you have instilled your heart so much in this world. When we help eachother..:))) your legacy lives on forever.
