I would never put South Africa that high, she is plain , but tastes differ Smile

**mamshie** Sun Sep 10, 2017 6:15 pm

The Top 6 is perfect! And the Top 3 is wonderful!. I really Love Thailand and South Africa as Miss Universe 2017 is very deserving

**Wojtek** Sun Sep 10, 2017 7:25 pm

I really think that the fight for the crown will be between South Africa and Thailand this year

I would never say that she is plain. You were the only one, who put her out of top 3

**Esther** Sun Sep 10, 2017 8:45 pm

There a good choice here, but this year there is a weak composition, while South Africa is one of the main contenders for the crown

I never had her on my mind, then I saw that everyone have her high so I looked a lot of photos of her, also I watched a videos, and try to see what people see at her and I didnt find it. Yes she look great on many profesional photos but not in candids, in candid photos she looks pretty ordinary to me. She is not the girl who could catch my attention. Although I put her in top 10, I must say that she could easly be even out of my top 13 ... But she may change my opinion when I see her in competitin, we'll see.

I agree, overall the batch is weak, especially latinas are very weak this year.

I would love to see South Africa as Miss Universe 2017 since the last time they won was in 1978. But It's also refreshing if A new country will gonna win like Great Britain , Indonesia , Montenegro, Haiti or any other countries - I like Ireland too she look like a Hollywood actress to me. The last time a new country won Miss Universe was in 2011 (Angola)

Thailand is very strong for the past 3 years and they might win their third crown this year.

Brazil placed for 6 consecutive years already from 2011 to 2016 and yet they haven't win their third crown

Indonesia placed for 4 consecutive years already from 2013 to 2016 but they always eliminated after Swimsuit round

France is very successful since 2009 they missed placement only in 2013 when the main Miss France winner competed in Miss World 2013 (What if it's the other way around). I like Miss France this year and a back to back is possible

Colombia is weak and boring for me

And to our representative - If she will not perform well we still have a chance which is the Online voting hahaha. So yes Philippines might still be in the Top 13 and so the USA

I want to see Israel in the Top list , it will be refreshing to see countries who haven't place for awhile.

I am always excited for Miss Universe every year but I hope the one by one performance in Swimsuit and Gown will be back!

BTW: Nice Banner

**Wojtek** Mon Sep 11, 2017 1:19 pm

Great analysis bonner

It's quite refreshing to me that since 2014 all the winning countries had to wait for the crown for a very long time - Colombia (1958), Philippines (1973), France (1953). It will be the same if either South Africa or Thailand will win this time. South Africa (1978), Thailand (1988).
