What IMG/MUO Looks for in a MISS UNIVERSE

[@thevetoncall1504]

Opinions from someone who had a first hand experience!!! I think yours are very valid!!!!

[@SieraBearchellOfficial]

***As a note, it is the selection committee (judges) and the MUO who pick the semi-finalists..... and the ultimate decision on who is the winner is supposed to be left for the judges! However, I do believe MUO has some say in ultimate decision. They are ultimately the ones who will work with the girl for the whole year. Just my opinion!

[@aliasrobinhood3224]

*same what happened to miss Venezuela 2016* 😃

[@macocampo]

Agree.

[@biggreenbananas8929]

How do they go about in in the final night? Do they whisper their choices to the telecast judges or have a talk with the judges before the show on who to particularly look out for?

[@vaughngelo7477]

biggreenbananas thats the same question I'm asking to myself. Maybe they're a doing deliberation before the pageant start.

[@maribethcelinecatipay672]

And your opinion is a very valid opinion. You have the experience to back that up as a former Miss Universe Canada and pageant judge. I think the MUO is the hidden, crucial judge. And their approval is worth its weigh in gold. I agree with you that from day 1 the girls are already being assessed, compared and evaluated by MUO staff. Telling gestures and comments are all taken in. I hope the girls realize that they are all viewed behind a magnifying glass.

[@Simon-df4zf]

Thank you for sharing behind the scenes perspectives with us. I've always wondered how the organization participates in the decision making for the semi finals with the panel of judges. Perhaps that was how they chose the wild cards last year. Watching you renewed my confidence in the new management. Aside from being gorgeous, I understand why your name was called on final night... You radiate warmth, confidence and sincerity. I look forward to your future posts. Cheers!

[@trinity9053]

Hello from Baguio City, Philippines Ms Canada.You were the most admired candidate when you went on tour with other candidates for Ms Universe in my city. You were so real, down to earth, just enjoying yourself, dancing with the people out there. You’re one great deal.

[@SieraBearchellOfficial]

Awh thank you!!! I had so much fun at MISS UNIVERSE and really felt the love of the Filipino people. That is why I returned twice to the PH after MU!! I will be back again one day....

[@FilipinXpress19]

I love you Miss Canada. Hope to see you soon 😘

[@andressonnenholznervaras3328]

Love from Spain . I have just found out you got this youtube channel. So far I like them !!! Keep posting them . You are right is not all about how beautiful they look like but how strong they could be when working under presure as a MU .

[@cruisecash4080]

you should be a pageant coach darling!!! so much beauty, knowledge and wisdom in one girl!! you made many faced their fears and have confidence, no matter what they weighed. I hope you know this girl

[@mickeymartinez4604]

Both miss Philippines and miss USA experienced body shaming when they did the Sherri Hill fashion show and both showed so much composure and strength. So anyone of these two can be an excellent miss universe!

[@SieraBearchellOfficial]

Yes! You are right! I remember seeing that on social media. They are both definitely amazing women.

[@nisookh]

Your vids are awesome ! Go Canada !! So happy for you entering motherhood and best wishes to you and your soon bouncing bundle of joy ! Beautiful and congrats on being in the top 9 !!

[@erikaym]

What a joy to hear and see you! Thanks from Puerto Rico...here a fan of yours!

[@mauneshdhuri4520]

I think you totally deserved to be up there at Miss Universe, ur inner beauty radiates and that shines through, not to forget you are equally gifted with the eloquence and brawn. I suggest you must consider being part of the Miss Universe Canada org, you should train and fine-tune future Miss Canadas. Love from India.

[@VitorBolina]

I love to hear you talk. Very interesting video, hearing from someone who has experienced the MU competition. Greetings from Brazil!

[@sonnyjr.delara7547]

Honestly, the first time I saw you, I already fell in love with your striking face and confidence. I trully love you, you are as deserving as other Miss Universe title holders. (my opinion) especially when I saw how you stood out (for me) during finals night. plus, you are a very well spoken queen. love from Philippines :*

[@cheezycount]

It's so nice to hear your insights on what happens behind the scenes and what it takes to win Miss Universe. Thank you so much for sharing your insights, Siera. As always, you look beautiful.

[@arnoldaquino]

Hello Siera..during your time when u participated MU here in the Phil..i noticed right away your looks....i just dont understand why some bashed you when you were placed in the finals..it wasnt you who gave ur scores..and i myself saw your great performance..honestly you are more beautiful now even you got married and pregnant..im a fan here😊😊

[@SieraBearchellOfficial]

Lol you are right! The decision is up to the judges and the MUO... so when girls are shamed for placing, it shouldn't be directed at them, but rather at the judges/MUO if people are unhappy!

[@trungduong4040]

Hi Siera! Thank you for making this interesting video. You look amazing and I hope to see other videos from you. I would like to share something about another pageant system Miss World. From what you shared about how the MUO looks for the next Miss Universe (everyday observation of how she handles herself and treats other people), I find it very similar to how Miss World candidates are judged. I'm from Vietnam and I read an interview of Miss World Vietnam 2004 on the news. She said that all candidates are judged by the staff in different events of the competition and by the crowning ceremony, the winner has already been determined. She even said that she saw no scoresheet on the judges' table that night. However, some fans don't really understand the process and often say things like "cooking show" when someone won unexpectedly.

[@metchilin.figura146]

I super duper appreciate you and downloading all your podcast and watching it. Thanks so much. I believe you have so much more to say to inspire us. God bless you

[@geronimonuval9445]

I hope you'll become a Miss Universe mentor. I totally agree on everything that you said... Love from PH 😘

[@Playbuck]

Love your insights! Thank you for sharing the reality behind the glam. 😊

[@Drinskie1990]

*Aside from Miss PH, USA, SA, PUERTO RICO, Miss Universe Canada 2018 and Miss Universe Australia 2018 is also the girls to watch out, because they have also a strong personality*

[@edujavigopi]

You are so pretty with a beautiful soul, and I'm from Colombia 🇨🇴 and I was really happy when you could make to the semifinalists!!

[@dalederiada4797]

On point. Thank you for sharing your wonderful stories Miss Universe Canada 2016 looking forward for more videos 😍

[@kuysyel]

I hope Catriona would still be your Miss Universe 2018. 😊😊 I am seing updates all the time and im pretty sure she’s still on fire and even burning stronger on her way to the finals.. Subscribed in your channel. hope to hear a lot from your channel. 😘😘

[@katedelrosario2407]

Hi Ms Siera...I'm glad you've gone a long way after your stint for Ms. Universe 2016. Looking forward to more interesting and intellectual features on your page. Love from the Philippines.

[@alexandersantos3737]

Hi I am Xander Santos from the Philippines and i am loving your videos about your thoughts and personal picks of who wil be the next Miss Universe. For me, the next Miss Universe is someone who can carry herself well and really knows her nation and she should also know of how the current and the most talk about issues/problem that are happening in the Universe and of how to solve it by giving her idea about it and of how she could do to solve it. She should be confidently beautiful and willing to pursue the journey of being the Miss Universe 2018.

[@harrysiariel]

It's really nice to hear from someone whose had the experience first hand. Good job Siera.

[@valarcabado1473]

you are so pretty😍😍 love from the philippines!

[@neofrias5376]

[@yecyec2499]

Hi Siera, keep doing MU/pageant videos and keep tapping this niche because there is a following in this niche and you are well qualified to be a pageant youtube vlogger! Good job to you and hope you hit your first 100k subscribers soon!

[@shifatmahmud6573]

Catriona Elisa Gray from The Philippines is going to be the Miss Universe 2018. She is a total package the MUI is looking for... 👑 And yeah I'm from Bangladesh 😍

[@shifatmahmud6573]

@Joe Smith Thank you so much... I'm inviting you to visit my beautiful country Bangladesh... I am sure you will discover a country with lots of gifts from mother nature...and i believe my people are the most humble you have ever meet..

[@shifatmahmud6573]

@waxy bayona you're 100% right.. But i will be very disappointed if she can't make it... I don't know It feels like she is the most talented girl among the other 94 beautiful candidates. If your word comes true, then this year Thailand will win....... Let's see..i wish everyone's talent will be honoured.... May God fulfill everyone's dream.

[@shifatmahmud6573]

@waxy bayona thank you so much... I think you're from Philippines.. Wish me luck so that i can meet Pia & Catriona once in my life... It becomes a dream to me to meet these two inspiring lady in my life..

[@yumibautista5109]

I hope your country will compete for the first time in Miss Universe 2019.

[@bulk_manifesto3624]

Yes they have candidates this year.

[@AkazukinKarina]

What you said Siera was literally on point! We miss you in the Philippines! ❤

[@remson9409]

You are so LOVABLE! 💕

[@sifisobande8597]

Thank you for the fantastic video Siera. I agree with your assessment and you are 100% right on the money. Interesting that Miss Russia 2017 fell into that category of a perfect face but she was allegedly something else behind the scenes. So when she didnt make the cut, I was not at all surprised. Also when I arrived in Vegas last year, my friend and I bumped into you(right outside the arena from watching the rehearsals) and we told you that we were from South Africa. You were so kind, sweet and genuine and even agreed to take photos with us. You are amazing and congratulations on excellent performance at Miss Universe.

[@SieraBearchellOfficial]

Thank you for watching, commenting, and for your kind words! That is so amazing that you actually got to watch South Africa win as well!!! Hope you enjoyed the show last year!

[@mattheo321]

Hi Sierra! I rooted for you when you ran for Miss Universe! Body positivity and just POSITIVITY is so important and I saw that you were really passionate about that! I’m excited for this year’s show! And my selections have changed, too! I’m looking forward to see how everything unfolds. Cheers 🥂

[@GlobetrotterG]

Thank you for sharing some facts to us about what happens behind the scenes and also what it's like to compete from your perspective! Also, I love how calm you are when you're vlogging! Can't wait to check your next vlog episode! 😌

[@mattgarcia7199]

That's true 💚💚💚💚 we love you siera love from Philippines

[@loveiseternal1995]

Quite a credible insight from you. I'm glad Miss Universe does this else it will very difficult to work with someone who is ethereally beautiful on the outside but her inner self not reflecting the same. Miss Universe is now evolving and it's great to see that. P.S.- I love you Siera 😘

[@SieraBearchellOfficial]

Thank you!! Happy you found it insightful !

[@SieraBearchellOfficial]

What do you think it takes to win MISS UNIVERSE? I'd love to read your thoughts here!!

[@surfwithshinjan]

Siera Bearchell i feel it takes courage courage to speak ur voice courage to be urself courage to have the realisation that it's about u how confidenr persevereant and determined u r and ur body language ur poise ur brains and whether u r able to handle any that comes across and not about ur background be it educational or economic. It's about whether u r confident about urself and happy about urself coz when u r so only then can u spread the awareness . moreover remeber u r the conqueoror of the UNIVERSE so u have to be ready for everything as anything can happen in this UNIVERSE

[@juonisback]

To be a REAL LIFE WONDER WOMAN. Mentally and physically healthy and active, eloquent and witty, and more importantly, someone who is sincere to fight for her advocacies.

[@jeremypacheco8888]

Thank you for the great insights about the pageant... way back 2016, I think you made it to the evening gown competition if I am not mistaken... that is such an experience right? And you made it that far because you did an amazing job... the interview you did about body shaming... was a winner answer... and has a lot of relevance in my opinion... forget about the bad comments... "bashing on the internet"... you are an AMAZING WOMAN.

[@peterpaulalabanza3407]

your on point miss Canada, its nice that former candidates like you r teaching us the viewers the criteria on the selection of a winner for any pageant.

[@jhalakmagar9466]

Well said miss Canada i hope my country Nepal will be place in miss universe this year if it's really true the things you said about miss universe organisations then i have to cross my fingers...beauty pagent should be judge by the personality potensolaty and what purpose contestant has and how they'll promote positivity being a title holder not just by beautiful face and great body

[@schadenfreudeegoism7485]

Nepal got into semifinals!! Congratulations

[@criztelvillamoramaro2952]

You are more beautiful when you'smile big love from Philippines

[@maxglendale]

Fantastic insight!!! Such great information.

[@mimzyLassiter]

It's a really good thing you're explaining this bc way, way too many people only look at what a candidate looks like and/ or her dress looked like. I'm a former pageant girl and I know that far more is considered in who is selected. As such, people get totally bent out of shape as to why they feel their favorite didn't win. These pageants are far more in depth than the layman understands. Looks alone by no means is the only determining factor...nor should it be.

[@SieraBearchellOfficial]

[@jeangalaura2943]

Bravo! This video should be a must-watch for all of the Miss Universe franchise holders, the delegates' trainers and the so-called "missologists" online who regularly rate contestants without an insider's clue or insight of what's going on in this particular pageant - as well as the fans who, during the buildup to the pageant finals, keep drowning each other out with shouts of "our favorite is a complete package of beauty, pasarela & intelligence!!!" without realizing that the judging of who will eventually wear the MU crown goes beyond those 3 basic criteria. @Siera Bearchell, with this latest MU edition of your vlogging, you've done a great service to those who've been swept in the rising tides of toxic pageant supporting. ***And I've just subscribed :) .

[@SieraBearchellOfficial]

Mrs. Siera Bearchell, went you compete before in Miss Universe 2016 I never reject or doubts to vote for you 100% because I see beauty with strong mind personality, a beauty with grace of confidences build and beauty inside, I believe the best of yourself and never one's falls through the cracks' negativity. Hitch a ride on the wind, a rainbow or a big, strong eagle in your mind anything you can positively, Give a very chance you deserve think possible not impossible. Beauty is not about physical it's about empowered you, to love you back and share it and own it. Interact with it. Let the light in, and let it light you up and will help you prepare for anything you have to face in life. You are a great Miss Universe that never had, I cried sorry and love you Siera from love in the Philippines...

Shame at those people who calls you fat and overweight as they don't really know the real you. I wonder why would they matter at all if they see things in a superficial way. I remembered former Miss Universe Gloria Diaz of the Philippines, she even vetted you to win the crown. I thought that was a sharp prediction when you entered top 10. I was surprised how confident you were on stage. Truer enough that viewers don't really see everything, and I think you're more amazing see u in this vlog and how passionate you are about miss universe. You're prediction list is reliable due to your experiences. Keep on doing this!

I was like.. you have the aura of humbleness, witty and sincerity ... same like miss miss universe 2005 beautiful and intelligent) and when I heard you speak during the events after they picked the top 16 I was you speak with support and firm .. thought you were gonna make it all way to top 3 .. you , USA and South Africa are my fav. .

So positive attitude is important to be chosen as miss universe. Positive attitude is equally important with intelligence. Second is beauty.
