I'm not sure what Carson is doing there but I am happy it's not an all Female judges.

China is the last candidate to arrive in El Salvador but did not continue, I think it's too late for her. And will just compete in 2024

I love so much Zimbabwe, is the lost daughter of Britney Spears. She's so adorable and she has a hot body. I liked so much how MUBA did her make up. Also she has extraordinary oratory skills. I hope she could be and extraordinary surprise.

Mexico's National costume: The colors of Mexico, Guardian Alebrije

An alebrije is a Mexican craft that helps "scare away" bad spirits from homes, especially those alebrijes with a more "monstrous" appearance. They are also considered a symbol of good luck.

I imagine sometimes what if El Salvador as a host is Ecuador 2.0 in 2004? Where we've seen many Latinas except Venezuela.

I would love to see it. Diana did bad job to her face since ME 2018. Completely unnecessary.

As the prelimninary competition is about to start, here is a first prediction of the final outcome (that will most probably change after the prelims) based on what I have seen and heard so far from the delegates.
- Group 1: these are all beautiful girls, but I'm not sure how much their oratory stands out, and they have an uphill battle because of their weak sash:
Belgium, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Equatorial Guinea, Honduras, Iceland, Laos, Myanmar, Namibia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Paraguay, Russia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Ukraine
1 or 2 semifinalists could be from Group 1 if they did well in interview.

- Group 2: these are not talked about, but they should have done well in interview, or their profile / background should have impressed the judges:
Angola, Australia, Brazil, Curaçao, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Singapore
Another 2 semifinalists could come from Group 2.

- Group 3: they seem to have a lot going on for them, and the prelims will help me determine where to place them:
Peru, Panama, Poland, Lebanon, Guatemala, Albania
- My predicted semifinalists list at this moment:

Top 20: Venezuela, El Salvador, Philippines, Colombia, Bahrain, Canada, Great Britain, Trinidad & Tobago, France, Zimbabwe
Top 10: USA, India, Spain, Nicaragua, Argentina
Top 5: Dominican Republic, Mexico
Top 3: Thailand, South Africa, Puerto Rico
