On Saturday, 5th March, starting at 19.30 finnish time on MTV3

This is a weird year this year in Finland

Linnea Aaltonen who took the early lead with polls has not been that convincing on the tour and has only managed to win one show stop.

Anni Uusivirta has been getting more and more coverage ín the media and has impressed with her sexyness and posing skills, but will this be enough for the audience that will vote. I don't know..... They usually don't go for the brave and fiercy one. Finnish public want sweet and innocent.

Sara Sieppi and Niina Lavonen also impressed the public with their early photos but now it's been a bit quiet.

So, ANYTHING can happen on saturday when the majority of the people will pick up their phones to and vote for their favourite.
Maybe a surprise victory for Pia Pakarinen? Who knows...

Judges will decide the runnerup's and I think it's a battle between Anni Uusivirta, Nina Mikkonen and Niina Lavonen. I don't think Sara Sieppi or Linnea Aaltonen will impress the judges, cause the competition is so tight this year. So if they want a spot on the TOP3 they need to WIN the public vote. Runnerup tiaras for these two... NO, I don't think so!

Well, I'm off to Helsinki again today and can't wait for Saturday

Only Nina looks almost the same in both photos...

You mean the NO MAKEUP ones? It's a weird weird tradition in Finland that one magazine always takes no-make-up photos of the delegates. I think it's stupid, cause no matter how much people say it's about natural beauty, the truth is that without makeup NO ONE competes in big pageants

Makeup is essential
So I don't get why there has to be no-make-up-photos!!

Anni looks good enough without makeup also. I've seen her without makeup and even then she stands out, trust me.
That pic is unfair cause it's taken directly to the face, all the other's are either sideways or their heads are sideways

TV FINLAND IS broadcasting Miss Suomi 2011!
I contacted them yesterday-the show will air 23.05 Saturday March 5.

It also states that most of the 49 winners will attend the show celebrating 50 years of Miss Suomi

Interesting indeed!!

They are all invited but unfortunalety many of them can't attend. Including my personal favourite Tuula Polvi, Miss Finland 1986

Judging panel will include Miss Finlands 1962 Kaarina Leskinen, 1975 Anne Pohtamo, 1984 Anna-Liisa Tilus, 1992 Kirsi Syrjänen and 2000 Suvi Miinala

Tarja Smura, Lola Odusoga, Jonna Kauppila they all are so beautiful, but....My best Miss Suomi has to be Vanessa Forsman!
So elegant, regal!
The essence of Miss Suomi I think.

My TOP-3 before Live TV Broadcast (some changes may take place, last year, Anne Nurminen convinced me she'd be in TOP3 the very last weekend of the competition):

1) Anni
2) Niina
3) Pia

I think Linnea is still the frontrunner, but I have some hope for my favourite too. I think Anni has come across as being not only sexy, but very sweet too in The Reality Show. Other contestants public might like are Sara, Pia and Ennileena, who is vibrant and truely telegenic (and looked really good in the Cruise where she was public's favourite).

Niina will almost certainly make it to TOP3 with judge's votes, she is closest to Organization's ideals of beauty. On the other hand, if Linnea won't win the public votes, she'll probably be out of the TOP3 too.

Pia Pakarinen is new Miss Finland
1. ru is Sara Sieppi and the second ru is Niina Lavonen. Congratulations to all

Oh yes, a bit surpriced Anni didn't place (she is Miss Press, though), but so happy Pia took the crown ! She was stunning in the telecast. Simply the most telegenic of the bunch ! Her beauty may be slightly too demure for MU, but I like her. And, I really can't remember such a facially beautiful TOP3 in Miss Finland. They all are simply gorgeous IRL !

The show was amazing too, with all the Beauty Queens judging and asking questions to the contestants. Some of these ladies aren't seen in public quite that often anymore, I especially enjoyed seeing Marja Kinnunen (married name Toivonen), Miss Finland 1985, who really hasn't changed that much at all in 26 years. Judge Kaarina Leskinen looked amazing too, really classy lady !

2nd ru Niina Lavonen, Miss Finland Pia Pakarinen, 1st ru Sara Sieppi

Too tired now to concentrate on report, be back later
