What were they thinking? Page 1
We've all questioned the judges' choice on some delegates chosen as semifinalists. But, what about the award for best national costume? Here are the videos of parade of nations and the winners from the year I started watching pageants (1984). They are followed by my choices, which are based on design, unoriginality, color, and representation. Feel free to express your opinions.
1984: Winner: India
My favorites were Barbados, Bolivia, and Guatemala
1985: Winner: Colombia. Why? It's just a dress.
My picks were Bermuda, Ecuador, Lebanon, and Mexico
1986: Winner: Panama. Now, tell me the judges didn't choose her because she's from the host country.
My favorites were Aruba, Bahamas, Brazil, British Virgin Islands
1987: Winner: Brazil
This my favorite one too. However, honorable mentions are Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Trinidad/Tobago
1988: Winner: Thailand
I don't see anything great about it. My choices were Bermuda, Bolivia, Brazil, Guam, Paraguay, Peru, and Puerto Rico
1989: Winner: Brazil
This was also my favorite. But, honorable mentions were Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Chile, Costa Rica, and Philippines

Re: What were they thinking? Page 1
Agree, sometimes I do not understand the judges when they choose a National Costume as the winner, some of them are too scandolous and HUGE that the poor girl can't manage the costume, and some of them are so PLAIN they look just like a dress and it is called a National Costume. I agree with the choices sometimes, but they are the bosses...
Great thread!!!!

Wasn't it so, that Panama won with a different dress that the one we see here on the parade?
I read somewhere that she actually won with this dress

2005: Winner: Thailand. Video is in 8 parts, beginning with part 2. The first part was just jibberish.
If you don't think the judges picked Thailand because it was the home country, there's something wrong with you.
Much better candidates were Angola, Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Chile, Curacao, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Mexico, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Panama, Peru, South Africa, Trinidad/Tobago, US Virgin Islands
