Miss Philippines Venus Raj Makes Miss Universe Final 5: Can She Win?

The Miss Universe 2010 pageant is well underway and the final 5 contestants have just been announced.

The final five are: Miss Philippines, Miss Mexico, Miss Ukraine, Miss Jamaica and Miss Australia.

In my opinion – at this point in time – is that the only 2 women in the running are Mexico’s Jimena Navarrete and Philippine’s Venus Raj. If any of the other women win this pageant I will be surprised, however, it’s a live competition and anything can happen – as we saw with Miss USA’s Rima Fakih early elimination in the first round.

 

So the competition is down to five but I honestly believe Miss Mexico or Miss Philippines will take home the crown (personally I think Miss Mexico should win).

Who do you think should win Miss Universe 2010: Mexico or Philippes – or do you think one of the other ladies is still more deserving?

  2. Sheila Munsayac says:

    Bring home the crown Venus!!!! Go for the Ms. Universe 2010 title..

  3. what a stupid answer!

  4. i hope Miss Philippines wins….

  5. Her answer was really bad that’s why Ms. philippines lost and got 4th runner up. And the funny thing is that she was interviewed on TV and was asked the same question and she still blew it!

  6. no, the answer was very appropriate. so she had no problem, so what’s your problem. mexico use a translator. philippines did not.

  7. Miss Philippines had the potential to win tonight…until THAT notorious final question and her ANSWER to the question…which she allowed to let the crown slip away…HOW WOULD YOU HAVE ANSWERED THAT QUESTION?

  8. no matter what shes still a winner, doesnt matter if shes a runner up atleast she contribute something in our nation, you detractors what did you do to make philippines proud of you? nothing!you are a disgrace and be a shame of your self,congratulation miss raj we are proud of you!

  9. pro venus but anti answer says:

    She is cumlaude right and mass com graduate? What an answer.. so stupid answer! it’s better if she’s not included on the top 5 than to hear her answer..

  10. i agree, what a stupid and non-sense answer. her answer is for famas award and not for a beauty pageant. bad grammar as well. what a shame for a magna cum laude

  11. That was a perfect question for her and she blew it!!!She could have answered it perfectly if she had thought of what happened to her to get the crown back as Ms.Philippines and tonite as one of the candidates at Top %.What a waste.She could have gotten the title .She had it all except for her answer….

  12. I think she did well considering all the pressure and what she’d been through to be there. I think she really did not care anymore if she wins or not cause at that point she already prove what she can. And what the heck if she doesnt have any major major problem?
    -What is one big mistake you’ve made and what did you do to make it right? Thank you for that wonderful question sir. In my 22 years of existence I’ve never had any major major problem I am confident because of my family love and support. Thank you so much that I am here.” something like that.

  13. if miss venus rah answered properly or correctly the question of the judge it is 200 percent she will win the 2010 miss universe no doubt at all.

  14. miss venus rah lost its because she gave 45 percent to philippnes and 40 percent for india.

  15. even if Miss Philippines’ answer was plain and it seemed like it was not well thought of, Miss Mexico didn’t even answer her question!

  16. She is dumb!!!! all she got is beauty!???? looks like a glamorized whore from Angeles.

  17. she’s not dumb. she wasnt just thinking anymore. too bad she got too confident. i would say she would have been 2nd runner up if she answered correctly. i still doubt she would win the title. face it.

    kung wala major prob. yun lang talaga pwede nyang isagot, pero tama ka keirson, notorious talaga final question.d bale ms.venus raj we are here for you dai ka magmundo talaga arog kaiyan ang buhay let’s move on mabuhay ka buda saimong pamilya.

  19. The winners were placed by coincidence based on their actual scores as top 5 so for Venus Raj to get the crown it would be tough for her to get the nod of judges for the title. Miss Mexico also being the top favorite got a consistent high score and answered quite well. At any rate, Venus Raj did her best and Filipinos should be happy for her. Congrats, Miss Venus Raj!

  20. Venus, your answer was too embarassing for all Filipinos. WTF were you thinking???? Or you werent thinking at all??? kahiya talaga.

  21. am proud of you Venus kahit ganun sagot mo, 5th runner up pa rin tayo. pero sa totoo lang, anu ba yung sagot mo? nawindang kami.

  22. i think the BB Pilipinas organisation should start using translators for their contestants. it is during the Q&A section when Ms. Phils. falters because the questions are asked in English and the natural instinct of a filipino born person is to translate the question into tagalog and then translate it back into english and the result becomes quite different. if she has a translator and answers in her indigenous language, therefore, she’d be able to express her answers in a more accurate manner. remember that they also look for contestants that are witty and quick thinkers.

  23. In all fairness, I thought she had the most difficult question. A similar question is often asked during job interviews about what you consider as your weakness. It is a seemingly easy question that most peeps get stumped with. It is never easy to open up when ur put on the spot, not when there’s a lot at stake, like a job, and in her case, a crown. Peeps don’t realize the question is two-fold. It comes with a follow-up question giving you a chance to redeem yourself. It makes it even harder cuz ur answers would need to reconcile. Peeps fuck this question up all time thinking it is about the answer. No, it is about your honesty. It is a question where your are told not to reveal too much but any less would be considered mediocre. Imagine, all you have is 30 seconds, and ur in front of a big crowd cheering you up and you could not help thinking the crown is well within your reach, while in the back of ur mind, something is telling you, don’t fuck this one up. Now, hold yourself together, answer d fucking question, how honest and sensible can you get?

  24. I agree with jayson. I think we should use an interpreter this time. because other title holders are using one. what the heck we care about the real answer they have without an interpreter. like with mexico, without an interpreter, can she even explain herself more??? I DON’T THINK SO! so for you guys, yeah venus’ answer is kinda like a slide but just be proud at least. at least she knows how to speak and understand english. instead of giving her negative feedbacks, why don’t you just support her? “crab mentality tlga oh!”

  25. Ms.Venus could have done better, she could have used a translator like the other girls, it is very important to answer the question very well.Swallow your pride and use a translator if you think that would make you feel comfortable and buy you time.I’d rather have the best answer than to have the best body in the pageant.In any pageant wit and intelligent answers put you to atleast top 3.We have to understand that the individual represents the country and not just herself she represents the country and everyone else that is filipino , one reason we stay in the bottom most of the time because we always say ok lang yan, hindi ok ang ok lang,you go for the best and more than 100 percent effort! this whole thing makes me wish Ruffa Gutierrez can do it again, or Miriam Quiambao.or the gay guy from Ms.gay , gays give the best answer ever!

  26. Dione M. Gardon says:

    Ms. Raj has been a limelight of intrigues but she handled it! being in the top 5 is a big thing already and for us Filipinos to be proud of. There must have been one question thrown to the top 5 to evaluate exactly the variation and content of the finalists’ responses. Anyway, good job ms. raj and congratulations

  27. Glenn Marc Demetita says:

    I agree. Although I’m a Filipino, I still think her answer was a nonsense.

  28. She was doing great until the question. First she ignores the question to try & win hearts, then she makes an incredibly weak attempt to answer what was a stupid question and then tries to do an advert again. She totally blew it and won the place she deserved as a result. Arrogant and over confident.

  29. angelica collantes says:

    ahm..proud kami xau venus kameng mga bikolanio..go.go

  30. john mark acierto says:

    many people say that venus was stupid because she answer the question ungracefully..but i strongly disagree for what they were saying..she is the best a magnanimous, competent, creative candidate..and bihira lang ang makapasok sa top 10 or top 5..what a shame in saying that venus was not a great candidate….

  31. against pro venus but anti answer says:

    # 9 pro venus but anti answer: para namang napakagaling mo. baka nga grade 1 lang ang natapos mo. baka nga sa screening pa lang ng bb. basurahan di ka pumasa. leche ka! dapat maging proud ka kahit 4th runner up lang nakuha ng pilipinas. baliw kang bakla ka!
    Ikaw kaya ang tanungin ko: Dahil bakla ka, OK lang ba sa impyerno ka mapunta at itakwil ng iyong angkan? Bakit?

  32. Could’ve served her well if she used a translator. Not sure if its ego, stubborness, or denial that she’s “fluent in english”. Evidently english is not her mother tongue and the tendency for typical pinoys who’s not that bright is to worry about the grammar more than the substance when trying to express themselves in English.

    I hope this is a lesson to learn.
