Miss Universe 2009: My Top 16

16. Guatemala
It's been a while since Guatemala sent a gorgeous girl to the Miss Universe Pageant and I've always kept my eye on Lourdes. She's very elegant and you can never forget her look but I would love to see her placed in the finals.


15. Slovak Republic
From the beginning Denisa was my favourite contestant from the Europeans but I feel there's something missing about her. She's very a gorgeous girl and I think she needs to work more on her body. Her presentation was a satisfactory but she could've done better with her gown selection.


14. Vietnam
Vietnam has sent their strongest delegate after a few years and Vo definitely has the potential to go higher during the finals. She has that supermodel look and a very modern girl. She's very tall and has long legs which makes her noticeable but she did a great job in both sections during the presentation!


13. Philippines
For me I believe Bianca should be placed in the top 16 after a long decade since Philippines was last placed by Miriam. Bianca sure did gave a fantastic performance but I think she could do better with a different gown selection. Her interview was very down to earth but she was very beautiful, radiant and classy during the presentation.


12. Japan
Emiri will definitely crack to the top 16 and I'm glad she didn't try to copy Kurara or Riyo. But she presented herself in a unique way. Her gown in the presentation wasn't really my favourite but she actually did a great job!



11. Venezuela
Stefania wasn't really my favourite from the beginning but she showed her uniqueness compared to the other contestants. What I really love about her is the energy she puts into everything! She did well in the runway and who knows she might be a suprise in the final.


10. France
Chloe is also a very strong contestant this year! She's very elegant and down to earth from her interview section. She looked amazing with her performance while on the catwalk!


9. Indonesia
I'd have to say Zivanna is one of the strongest Asian contestant this year and also one of the best representatives from Indonesia. She has a really good tall height and a nice body which for the first time an Indonesian representative is wearing a 2 piece bikini. She can be fierce or either lovely on the runway.


8. Netherlands
Avalon is absolutely one of the most unique exotic contestants this year! With her Indonesian roots and she was so sweet in her interview. However in her swimsuit presentation, there was a lack of energy on the runway. But I believe she can make it to the top 16 after a long time for the Netherlands.


7. Kosovo
I really do think Kosovo is beginning to become more competitive in the Miss Universe Pageant since their indepedence from last year, and Marigona seems to be a very honest girl with her expections. I loved her in the blue dazzling evening gown during the presentation and she looks gorgeous in either way when her hair is up which makes her look elegant or down.


6. South Africa
Tatum is undeniably the best African contestant this year! She surely was a diva on the catwalk which she reminds me of a Victoria Secret Angel Model and my main favourite was her interview, she's so sweet and a lovely contestant!


4th Runner Up - Mexico
Karla is a very gorgeous Latina! She did very well at the presentation and I'm sure she will get into the finals. I really love her smile which makes her shine the most! She was very beautiful during her interview section!


3nd Runner Up - USA
She is definitely everyone's favourite and not only because of her sash factor, but Kristen did a great job and she deserves to be Miss USA which she proved that. If she enters the top 5, I'm pretty sure she will nail the interview section.


2rd Runner Up - Dominican Republic
Who can not forget this girl? Ada is simply fierce! She has more experience from her past back then when she was Miss World Dominican Republic and she was a semi finalist because she won Miss World Beach Beauty and I'm pretty sure she will advance to the finals! Ada really reminds me of the current Miss Universe, Dayana Mendoza in her interview and shes simply beautiful! With her amazing fierce catwalk skills and has one of the best bodies in the competition!


1st Runner Up - Puerto Rico
After 2 years Puerto Rico not spotted as a semi finalist, Mayra can surely get a spot in the finals as she is every one's favourite in the competition. She is one of the best in the runway and as always Puerto Ricans are always fierce and prepared for the competition!


Miss Universe 2009 - Australia
I believe Rachael can win the third crown for Australia and as she is also Mr Trump's favourite as well in the competition. She reminds me of Jennifer Hawkin's performance back then and she was perfect in her interview, swimsuit and evening gown section. She is a very fresh natural beauty looking girl!
