Meet the 86 women competing to be the next Miss Universe

Bahrain is gorgeous!

Vote for your favorite country!

all fake "beauties" so much plastic surgery and pounds of makeup

You can watch the National Costume competition here, but it's 55 minutes long!

I was surprised to see that they didn't all have their noses contoured down to razor edges.

Is that 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘺 surgery or photoshop. Both the women in Op look CGI unnatural

Oh, this thread is going to be good if the two CGI-generated contestants in OP are anything to go by.

Fat and ugly.

Albania looks like generic 'shopped and filtered photo of female.

Wait, don’t tell me. Miss Philippines is half white from some European country.

^^Oh, they all want to be white, darling.

It's weird that beauty pageants are still around.

Miss Equatorial Guinea will cut a bitch.

Miss Bhutan is a lesbian. Proud member of the 🏳️‍🌈 LGBT COMMUNITY.

^ isn't that against the law in shithole Muslim countries?

Bhutan isn’t a Muslim country; did you mean Brunei, R15?

And, the amount of cruising that goes on in Muslim-centric countries/areas…

I used to own the Miss Universe pageant and an endless supply of Tic Tacs.

It's a tie between Ecuador and Iceland for me. Some faces you cannot really see for the filters.

Miss Maro-a-Lago is sensational.

I agree on Ecuador, also Malaysia

Miss Argentina is fugly.

Is Miss Belize pregnant, r4?

R10, Miss Philippines is Filipino Italian. But why single them out? Miss Cambodia is French Cambodian, and Miss Thailand has German ancestry and is the seventh consecutive Eurasian to win the Miss Thailand crown. These pageant coaches know what the judges like-- someone who fits the European ideal of beauty.

It’s great to see some of the black contestants rocking their natural hair, and in some cases, no hair. They look lovely.

End the tyranny of the horsehair weave.

Is there a prize for spotting the trans contestants?

I won this thing in 2015.

It's the Miss UNIVERSE pageant. Why are all the women from Earth? Shouldn't other planets and galaxies be represented?

R25 My money is on Miss Paraguay

[quote] Miss Philippines is Filipino Italian. But why single them out? Miss Cambodia is French Cambodian, and Miss Thailand has German ancestry

I think it's sad that all these countries send representatives who feel the need to look white, in order to win the contest.

You’re American, aren’t you, R15?

[quote]Miss Argentina is fugly.

Ironic, since Argentina has some of the most beautiful people you will ever see in your life.

It would be great to see someone from some stupid country like Armenia win.

The reigning Miss Universe from India gained a lot of weight.

What's the story on that?

Samosas r33.

It is amazing how different they are from the recent Ms. America contestants (or was that Ms USA)? These chics blow them out of the water!

Why do you call Armenia a “stupid country”, R32? Do you know much about it?

Smiling is no longer a thing. 5% are smiling. 82% look like they are about to dig into your carotid artery and drink you blood.

Lips slightly parted, wet and plump.

White stripe painted down the nose of 92%.

r4, I kept thinking...

The contestants are on average slightly older and more accomplished than in other pageants.

R39 They all seem like professional models...

well, "models", if you get my drift

r4 - Tessie Tura at 11:45...

I'm a male. If I say I'm non-binary and identify as gender-fluid, can I enter the contest ? Can I sue if they don't take me ?

r4 - Poor Miss Costa Rica at 13:55.

What? NO trans women!

How exclusionary and TRANSPHOBIC of them!

How else will children learn the difference between a tuck and a camel toe?

Melania Trump is entering the contest as Miss Slovenia. Kimberly Guilfoyle is entering as Miss-Taken Plastic Surgery.

[quote] What? NO trans women!

[quote] How exclusionary and TRANSPHOBIC of them!

The new owner of the Miss Universe Pageant is actually trans.

So there's that.

No Andorra? Is it too small to produce a contestant?

Miss "Great Britain" is awful.

Not pretty at all.

[quote] What? NO trans women!

Miss Italy looks trans.

Miss Malta looks very futuristic!

What in the hell is with Miss USA???

Worst Miss USA ever!

Miss Iceland for the win!

#51, that's John Leguizamo.

I think Miss Croatia is very beautiful. Sort of reminds me of Miranda Kerr. She's got that whole "golden ratio" thing going on with her face.

"Maxine Formosa Gruppetta" sounds like a contestant on a foreign edition of Drag Race.

CAMEROOOOON!

Here go Miss Iceland (that name, though)

^ Whoops—the link gets messed up because of her wacky name

Alternate link for Iceland

R57, I posted Iceland at R52.

I want her to win!

She's gorgeous.

This is the preliminary swimsuit competition.

Miss Jelly at R56 is giving me Tyra Sanchez

...and the evening gown preliminary.

Miss Universe has a horrible voice, her English is marginal. Pronouncing Paraguay and Uruguay proved to be a difficult task.

Miss USA's gown is to die for. Best gown on a Miss USA at Miss Universe I have ever seen.

I'm thinking Bahrain for the win, Columbia second, Ukraine third. Ukraine is not a pity vote, she is gorgeous in her own right.

[quote]I'm thinking Bahrain for the win, Columbia second, Ukraine third. Ukraine is not a pity vote, she is gorgeous in her own right.

I'm pretty sure Ivy League universities are not allowed to enter.

That would explain the National costume selections being so drag queeny, r46.

[quote] Ivy League universities are not allowed to enter.

At the request of the pageants

Hopefully Miss Puerto Rico will take the razor blade out of her pussy and shank r65 to death.

R57, Hrafnhildur is an officially approved Icelandic name and is #37 in popularity (female names)

I'd love to see a beauty contest where the women aren't allowed to use makeup or hairpieces. Might be refreshing.

[quote] I'd love to see a beauty contest where the women aren't allowed to use makeup or hairpieces. Might be refreshing.

They tried it at Miss USA. Not exactly NO makeup, but everything was very minimalist.

What do you think?

[quote] Hopefully Miss Puerto Rico will take the razor blade out of her pussy and shank R65 to death.

Miss Puerto Rico is actually from Florida.

Ashley Carino was Miss Florida 2021 and placed 3rd overall at Miss USA 2021.

She has a lot of pageant experience, so she might do well at Miss Universe this weekend.

I want Iceland to win just to hear everybody trying to pronounce her name, over and over:

Hrafnhildur Haraldsdóttir

Why do they all look like high end hookers?

R65, so sorry for the obvious mistake. I used to live in Columbia, Maryland. Can't get it out of my head.

How weird that you have to pay to vote

I could grab them all by the pussy and they couldn't do anything. Walk in on them dressing... When you're rich and famous anything is possible.

TFW you wish Bob Mackie was doing the dressing --- for a little more restraint. Sheesh!

Miss Mexico is muy caliente

I just watched R63's link, and most of those gowns are hideous and over-the-top.

Iceland is gorgeous, but what in the hell was she carrying in her hand???

Aruba is another one who is absolutely beautiful, but she has got to get rid of that damned pink wrap! Her gown is perfect without it.

After watching evening gowns, I want either Iceland, Aruba, or Bahrain to win.

[quote] Miss USA's gown is to die for. Best gown on a Miss USA at Miss Universe I have ever seen.

Seriously, R64???

I totally disagree. I think it looks cheap and ugly.

Yikes, agree r81

Why do so many of them look like drag queens or pornstars?

Just going from photos, I think Jamaica, Ukraine, Netherlands, Iceland, Poland, Bahrain, South Africa, Turkey, and Vietnam are the most beautiful.

Also like Miss Ghana and her bald head.

Exactly how DOES one pronounce Iceland’s name? I think her last name is essentially “Haraldsdaughter” but I have no idea about the first name.

Another agree, r81.

I watched the evening gown thing, and my opinion has changed about some of the ones I’d just seen in photos, but I’m still rooting for South Africa. She is stunning.

[quote]Exactly how DOES one pronounce Iceland’s name?

Like this:

I don’t know wtf is wrong with the Philippines that they always have to have some half white bitch from somewhere else represent them. There are lots of full blooded Philippine women who are beautiful, but the way they despise themselves you’d think they all looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger in a wig.

R87, Because such full blooded Filipina beauties as Beatrice Gomez, Ariella Arida, Shamcey Supsup, Miriam Quiambo, Maxine Medina, etc., only make it to the finals or runner-up but don't win. You have to have a drop of something else to take the title.

Miss Bahrain, Miss Colombia and Miss Poland are the prettiest.

So, how many trans?

I'd take Miss Valdosta Feed & Grain over any of them.

Are Lisa Rinna blubber lips now a requirement for contestants?

I would love to see Iceland win Miss Universe.

It would be a first time win for that country.

What time does the pageant start, and where can we watch it?

Why is this even still a thing? In 2023 we’re gonna parade bimbos around like it’s 1972?

Think of it as Ziegfeld crossed with the Rose Bowl Parade, r96.

Chloe Powery-Doxey, Miss Cayman Islands is very pretty. You'll rarely see her with a full-on smile since she has a half-inch gap between her front teeth. This causes me to wonder why she hasn't taken the time to get her teeth fixed. It is clear she tries to hide this flaw all the time, so is very aware that it is unattractive. Other than that she has a natural-looking beauty to her, unlike many of the others competing with their pounds of makeup and obvious cosmetic surgery.

You can see her gap in the linked video.

Too much makeup makes women look trashy. Subtlety goes a long way. How do you tactfully tell someone with two inches of makeup to remove it fully before sleeping over on my pearl white pillows?

Wow, other than South Africa, Peru, Colombia, and USA (ish), I wasn’t really expecting that top 16.

Surprised Ukraine didn’t make it. Also liked Malta and Iceland and Vietnam.

First time in history that Laos has made the finals.

I actually can’t believe I’m watching this, but I’m a little under the weather and don’t feel like watching much else.

South Africa for the win!

Oh..I’m watching it on the Roku channel on my fire tv. It’s free.

Miss USA is Miss Universe. She looked stunning!

Miss USA is a natural beauty. Miss Puerto Rico was the sexiest.

Are you kidding, R102?

Please say you're kidding.

This thing is so rigged.

She wasn't even supposed to be Miss USA because the whole thing was a setup.

Now you're telling me she won Miss Universe?

What a joke!

I can’t believe South Africa and Peru didn’t make top 5.

The final five all looked alike. At least USA put her hair up.

Oh and what’s up with the hot President of El Salvador? He was on at the end (in a taped piece) announcing that the pageant will be there next year. Very sexy. He said El Salvador is now the safest country in Central America. Is that true? Have any of you visited there? It looked beautiful in the package.

I prefer, "Meet the next Miss Universe and 85 women who will not be."

It's just a matter of time to know for which closeted actor, singer or NFL player the new Miss Universe will beard for.

Nevermind, I just did some research my own fat whore self, and that El Salvador President is a real piece of shit! Anti abortion and same sex marriage. A lot of other sketchy things too. Oh well.

Look for Miss El Salvador to win Miss Universe next year!

OR ELSE.

The owner of Miss Universe is an Asian tranny.

[quote] The owner of Miss Universe is an Asian tranny.

Coincidentally, so is the winner!

The crowning.

I'm so glad I didn't waste my time and money watching this shit show.

What a fucking joke.

My Meghan should have represented England but Wills refused to allow it and threatened to shoot me with a shotgun.

Sadly YES, R106. I was in El Salvador 3 years ago. It was depressingly poor.

Maybe she can’t afford it R96. Dental is expensive

Miss Armenia has the hairiest pussy.

Maybe she’s ok with it R96 and R116.

All I can think of is Trump's disappointment for not being able to mill around backstage and sneak up on the women in various states of undress.

The two contestants in OP's photos look like prostitution whores.

They're all whores. An easy way to an easy life.

God willing.

[quote]Miss USA wasn't even supposed to be Miss USA because the whole thing was a setup.

Money well spent!

Rigged. I call shenanigans.

Miss Bhutan, the lesbian one, is gorgeous. Doesn't Brazil have some if the most beautiful women in the world? Why is their pick so plastic and fake looking?

Is miss USA Latina?

R125 she is of Filipino descent.

[quote]Oh and what’s up with the hot President of El Salvador? He was on at the end (in a taped piece) announcing that the pageant will be there next year. Very sexy.

Thanks!

On the bright side, the TRUE winner of Miss USA - North Carolina - becomes Miss USA.

In fact, I think that the pageant made USA win Miss Universe so that North Carolina wouldn't sue the Miss USA pageant for cheating.

This way, it's a win-win.

That Texas cheater gets to keep A crown, and North Carolina gets the Miss USA crown, which she should have had in the first place.

Is there any evidence of cheating in the Miss USA pageant? I haven’t heard of any. Sounds like a similar Dump thing to me.

Her first few minutes as Miss Universe. The older woman holding her hands is the transgendered new owner of the Miss Universe pageant.

R129, watch the video at R128.

Your question will be answered.

the hottest: belize, bolivia, cambodia, canada, colombia, croatia, curacao, france, germany, india, kyrgyzstan, malta, myanmar, nicaragua, peru, singapore, spain

The new Miss Universe is kinda average looking.

It's so presumptuous to call this the Miss Universe Pageant and have no contestants from other planets.

R131, that’s 26 minutes. I did a Google and saw there was no proof of anything. Just peoples’ opinion. And who cares anyway? It’s a pageant, not a presidential election.

[quote]straight guy

Sure, Jan.

Miss USA has an extremely asymmetrical face, as captured in the “meet the delegates” photo. Looks better live - just not photogenic. I was hoping for a fireball performance though.

Did anyone else feel like her reaction to winning was off? Like she wasn’t fully there, wasn’t sure what was happening? I might interpret it as a sign that the cheating rumors might be true, and in that moment instead of seeing the win she saw it all being taken away, or dreaded having to maintain the facade.

Maybe she thought she wouldn't win because of the drama about her; then she was shocked when she did win.

I also saw her reaction as one of surprise. Normally the judges favor the Latin countries.

Ok fair, completely possible I guess. When you make it to top 3, winning becomes much less of a far-off possibility, so she had some time to consider being named. I’d have thought the shock would wear off quicker than it appeared to have, Maybe she’s just a reserved person in general,
