The year it was hosted in the Philippines, I expected filmed segments of the contestants visiting interesting places. If I remember correctly, there were just a few shots during the opening of the Philippines? Instead of three hours of video vignettes, perhaps cut the show back to 2 hours and focus on the actual competition and the host country.

I agree with you. Many Filipino are disappointed as our country was not introduce well or not much exposure during the final show.

Exactly. In Brazil or Russia we could feel that the show was in a given country. At least when we looked at the stage/background. In Philippines everything looked the same as in Las Vegas in 2015.

There is rumor as well that Miss Universe 2017 might be held in Chile? the last time it was held in South America was in 2004

or maybe Las Vegas again

The last time in South América was back in 2011 in Brazil. Wink

I am glad it would not push through this year. I will not able to watch the pageant live if it will be held this year due to my busy schedule.

If Phoenix will became true, then it would be Phoenix Symphony Hall, the venue of Miss Teen USA 2017?

It's a pretty small hall, capacity just 2,300

No one wants to host the pageant so back to Vegas. How boring! Hopefully it will be only 2 hours long and all those boring videos will be a thing of the past....and bring back the top 15.

This will be the fourth time in last 8 years and sixth time overall that the pageant will take place in Vegas.

Iris' reign will be the shortest ever. Previously the shortest reigns belonged to Zuleyka and Barbara Palacios with 10 months and 5 days. There was never shorter reign than 10 months until now.

I hope that the next reign will be also shorter than 12 months and step by step we will back to Miss Universe held in the summer.

Indeed it was a very sad news. And it was held in Mandalay Bay Resort right? I think the show must go on and I heard the suspect is dead.

Mario Lopez was an excellent presenter and very charismatic. Steve Harvey is boring and I don't find his humor very funny. I wish they would get presenters like Mario Lopez back too.
