1998 Miss Universe: Top 10

[@danilang3504]

The second and last time Trinidad and Tobago took home the crown. Hopefully some day in the future when T&T decides to become serious about the competition again we'll have our 3rd winner.

[@camillebetancourt266]

A deserving winner.

[@Wr0106]

Tya jane ramey was really good. She could easily make it to top 5 maybe lost the spot by only a small difference in score

[@AgentAO7]

What a prestigious panel of judges! Miss Bonaire should have been in the top 10.

[@seascorpio3820]

Same....she is gorgeous.

[@msrain1235]

Agreed

[@rikki1028]

MISS VENEZUELA IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SMART I LOVER HER

[@michaelsoriano6016]

Notable candidates that year were Miss Costa Rica Kisha Alvarado also competed and won Miss Asia Pacific 1998 and Miss Honduras Dania Prince also competed and won Miss Earth 2003 both held here in the Philippines.

[@m.marques2305]

🇻🇪 V E N E Z U E L A 🇻🇪 aún recuerdo ese Miss Universo!!

[@Juju-gv7gx]

3 countries were familiar in the top 10 this decade (1990-1999), Venezuela, usa and India ...

[@JayJay-dr2lo]

How about Colombia with 3 first st runner-ups in 1992,1993,1994?

[@kenlau457]

The top 10 was inundated by the powerhouse countries. Ireland was a pleasant surprise. Very disappointed that Hungary, Egypt and Bonaire did not make the cut.

[@jcfererra]

Miss Honduras, Dania Prince won all her pageants. Most notably Miss Earth 2003. She deserves a placement more than any of this girls.

[@taroupriapus9760]

I can see miss Honduras when the last spot Puerto Rico was called, you can see she's disappointed she didn't made it. glad she won miss earth five years later

[@erinpilla]

As the saying goes, sometimes you just need extra time!! Well she did win a Big 4!

[@josealvesdesousaneto1108]

As misses mais belas deste ano: Miss Brasil, Miss Colômbia, Miss USA, Miss Porto Rico, Miss Venezuela e Miss Trindade e Tobago.

[@carlosbello2953]

En esta presentación Venezuela con Veruska, obtuvo el más alto puntaje en traje de baño en toda la historia del MU.... FANTASTICA VENEZUELA...

[@luisbarandiaran5238]

No jaja

[@jairomy]

No para nada. Russia tuvo el mejor puntaje en el 2002.

[@soundtrack4862]

Brasil, Colombia, Venezuela y Puerto Rico... ¡Bellas las representantes latinas de ese año!

[@roseerocha5599]

South Africa sent an intelligent delegate there But some judges give her lower score in interview round

[@Madhavkp1996]

India was rocking that decades ❤❤💞💞

[@gayanthkarunarathne3545]

So many years passed and still feels like Bonaire was robbed. If she placed this would have been the third yeard where A,B,C (Aruba,Bonaire,Curaçao) islands placed in a row. Too bad we dont see Bonaire at MU anymore.

[@rikki1028]

[@xx_blooming_rose_xx8442]

I know right , all of the judges are women now in IMG era 😫😫

[@sushi_takoyaki143]

Hope Trump or Melania owns Miss Universe again. IMG era sucks.

[@liferenz]

Miss Ireland looks like Miss Andrea from The Corrs band which came from Ireland as well. 1998 was the peak of the band as well

[@taroupriapus9760]

I can see miss Honduras when the last spot Puerto Rico was called, you can see she's disappointed she didn't made it. Five years later she won miss earth 2003.

[@the-drama-queen-keeilustre]

I love this format! Just the Top 10. No more, no less. Just the Top 10 highest composite scores, the cream of the crop! No wildcards!

[@taroupriapus9760]

Wild cards are giving chance to eliminated candidates. You cannot say the top 10 are really cream of the crop, they are also luckiest. But if someone eliminated earlier is/are given a chance, it can be a game changer because the finals night is back to zero and anyone can win from that group

[@the-drama-queen-keeilustre]

@@taroupriapus9760 But that only means that they are not consistent because they did not do well during the prelims and did not reach the Top 10. You don't slack at one point and recover on another. You have to do good at all times!

[@taroupriapus9760]

@@the-drama-queen-keeilustre Preliminaries is different from finals night, oftentimes there's a separate set of judges in preliminaries and another set of celebrity judges on finals night. Just because someone didn't enter top 10 in preliminaries doesn't mean they aren't good, they aren't lucky that day. Often the highest placers in preliminaries didn't win, there are times the 10th place in preliminaries or a wild card ended up winning because the finals judges liked them

[@the-drama-queen-keeilustre]

@@taroupriapus9760 I get all that you are saying. My point is, if you are really good and want to win, why perform less at prelims and be almost eliminated? Regardless of what round it is, you should do good! And not wait for the finals after being given a second chance.

[@taroupriapus9760]

@@the-drama-queen-keeilustre It's not that they performed "less" in the preliminaries. It's that they arent lucky enough to earn high points during that time, many times before someone was average on preliminaries but shone her full potential in the finals night. Also there are those who excelled in preliminaries but lost heat/performance in the finals. Dont forget the set of judges are different, many times judges in preliminaries sabotage certain girls they find a strong contender to ruin hr chances of placing, they do it out of politics, money, racism or just pure malice. Adding wild cards balance that, to give more girls a chance to win in the finals night

[@sweiadjilani8782]

Miss Honduras (04:53) looked so gorgeous …. She won Miss Earth 2003.

Este fue el robo más grande a Venezuela, admito que haya perdido en otras ocasiones la corona, pero este ha sido la única edición donde se puede decir con toda propiedad que se Venezuela "la robaron" esa 👑 MU1998 y donde la regalo en MU 2012. Únicas ediciones donde hubo perdidas fatales para Venezuela.

Miss India - lymraina d'souza

[@rabahelaawar2499]

I have no clue why none of these women made it to the cut: Argentina, Australia, Bonaire, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Ghana, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, Philippines, Slovak Republic, Switzerland, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe. In my opinion, Ireland, Russia, and India were super-overrated to be in the Top 10.

[@vickymishra6393]

Not really india topped the preliminary interview

[@chespiritosuis4420]

Varias de ellas, su faja no tenia peso. Pero fue muy sorpresivo Bonaire y Francia afuera, sonaban entre las finalistas.
