The four Colombian 1RUs deserve to be Miss Universe especially Carolina Gomez. She was perfect that night. Paula gave the best answer in 1993 in my opinion but philosophical answers were favored during those times. With Taliana, we knew what made her lost, same in Miriam's case.
For Perla Beltran, I really believe that she isn't the MW type even she was styled in the MW mold. Perla was perfect for Miss Universe.
Other unforgettable almost for me are - Carolina Arango of Colombia in MW 1996 (but I also love Irene!), Teresa Sanchez of Spain in Miss Universe 1985, Roberta Capua of Italy in Miss Universe 1987 (Cecilia was really favoured that night!), Giorgia Palmas of Italy in MW 2000 and Martina Thorogood (well Yukta was great that night but I really wanted Martina.)

i always have a big heart for the 1stRUs and i dont know why
Cynthia, Taliana and Kurara were my big faves
Cynthia is a true Goddess and stage diva. her beauty and performance was just too good for Miss Universe!
Kurara Chibana and Laurianne Gillerion were both my Miss Universe 2006 winners (i dont care if the Zuleyka fantards call me bitter or what )
Those 2 were just NATURALLY and EFFORTLESSLY GORGEOUS!
Keep those glamorous gowns coz these 2 aint need that to look ELEGANT and CLASSY!!
Taliana. Sweetness meets sexiness and fierceness!
and we all know that MW 2009 is a joke!
no Jeniffer. no Zeynep. and Kaiane over Perla.

I still stand to my belief that Olesia Stefanko is quite the deserving Miss Universe2011. Call me bitterness. I don't care.

If it's about the Tres Virreinas de Universal of Colombia, no country has ever made that yet in the history of Miss Universe - making that 3 consecutive 1st runners up, because in 1996, Alicia won the Miss Universe crown and successors Marena and Veruska were 1st runner-up. In 1999, Carolina Indriago almost made it to top 3, and was in fact on everyone's list until Mpule got through. Instead, our very own Miriam Quiambao made it as first runner up breaking the Miss Venezuela 1st Runner-up steak; but then I guess Osmel didn't mind that time since both Carolina Indriago and Miriam Quiambao were apprentices in his Venezuela Beauty School. Well, make that batchmates. And then the following year, Venezuela once again, made it as first runner up with the statuesque Claudia Moreno. Lara Dutta was simply unbeatable in 2000.

Btw, USA has yet to send a girl again at Miss Universe as gorgeous as Shandi Finnessey!

Evangeline Pascual should be part of those featured here.
Imagine, she won first runner up because Eric Morley do not want the winner from the Philippines since Miss Universe is from the Phils already (Margie Moran). So he gave the crown to someone who will eventually be dethroned. Thing is, only the duties and responsibilities will be handed to Evangeline and not the title as initially offered by Eric Morley, so she refused.
This is one of the biggest injustices in the pageant history.
She should have won, but then given the 1st runner up, then she cannot assume the title as first runner up when the winner was dethroned.

According to UNO, the decision to crown Miss USA as MW was based on an american judge and rainiel, Eric Morley was not American.
And I dont think that the decision had anything to do with the fact that the reigning Miss Universe was from the Phillipines. India has won Miss Universe and MW in the same year twice (1994 and 2000) and Australia also won both titles in the same year (i think it was 1973....but not sure about the year).
N e ways for my personal taste, USA was pretier than Evangeline.
Sandra should have won ME 2009, she was the complete package (she was much more deserving than Karla)
Perla was robbed big time
One thing that I do not agree on with some of the posters here is that Martina should have won MW 1999. Yes Martina was a goddess in the beauty department but Yukta wasn't actually ugly. Plus Yukta had the personality and brains, even when she was handing over the crown to Priyanka, the presenter said that now every body knows why she won, she has a very level head
