NO MISS UNIVERSE IN 2020 (As of today)

[The Duchess]

Denise Quiñones August, National Director of Miss Universe Puerto Rico, has communicated to us that while there's no official confirmation from the Miss Universe Organization, as of today it is planned to be celebrated in the first trimester of 2021. So that would mean Miss Universe as of today would be celebrated between January to April 2021. We have to wait for the official announcement from MUO but I completely believe it. We have to remember that its getting difficult to travel and plenty of country are not accepting requests for Visas currently. #missuniverse2020 #missuniverse #big5pageants #missworld #missinternational #missearth #missgrandinternational #misssupranation

I agree with you...

I agree with you...

Sigh, it is what it is. I feel bad for the future Miss Universe 2020, IMG will probably give her a really short reign to get back to the regular schedule

IT IS UNFORTUNATE, BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE.

THERE IS STILL A HUGE CORONA VIRUS CASE IN THE U.S. AND OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD, AND IS STILL GROWING.

HOPE, NOT ONLY THEY WILL HOLD A PAGEANT IN THE FIRST TRIMESTER IN 2021 FOR THE 2020 EDITION, BUT WILL HAVE ANOTHER PAGEANT IN THE LATE YEAR - NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER FOR THE 2021 EDITION, EVEN IF IT MEANS THE 2020 QUEEN WILL HAVE A SHORT REIGN

I read somewhere it's going to be in March 2021, then also hold the 2021 pageant the same year.

Thats the problem, the 2020 queen gets screwed with a reign that could be as short as 8 months. That's who I really feel bad for.

Jonas Gaffud was right from the start before even Catriona planned to join Miss Universe in 2018 because Jonas wanted her to compete in 2019, the 50th anniversary of Gloria Diaz' win, the very first for The Philippines. But Catriona insisted to play part in 2018 so she formed her own glam team and entourage but left Jonas as her mentor. If only Catriona had listened to him, she could have had the longest reign in recorded history for the entire universe.

[The Duchess]

Jonas Gaffud was right that Catriona should have joined Miss Universe 2020 instead of 2019. It's the 50th anniversary of Gloria Diaz win this year and Catriona could have been the longest Miss Universe reign in the entire universe.

*2019 *2018

Thanks for correcting me. I have fixed the years already and the whole post itself.

I think this is already a stretch. hindi naman manghuhula si gapod at na foresee nya ang covid.

On the other hand, it is unfortunate to have the most unappealing queen in recent years as the reigning Miss Universe.

YEAH, THAT'S TOO BAD. UNLESS THE 2020 QUEEN WILL HAVE IN HER CONTRACT HER REIGN WILL STILL BE 12 MONTHS EVEN IF SHE GIVES HER CROWN IN HER 8TH MONTH. BUT THAT MAY NOT HAPPEN.

It is unfortunate to hear this news but the welfare/health of the candidates is much more important than to held the Miss Universe this year.They can still stage the Miss Universe in the first trimester of 2021.

It was her destiny and fate to win Miss Universe 2018, no assurance if she join in 2019 or whatever year.

IMG BETTER CALL IT MISS UNIVERSE 2021.
HAS NO SENSE CALL IT MISS UNIVERSE 2020 IF IT WILL HAPPEN IN 2021. AND I HATE ALSO THE FACT OF CALL IT "THE 69th EDITION" BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW PAULINA AND IRIS AS MISS UNIVERSE 2014 AND 2016 (NOT 63rd and 65th).


SO ZOZIBINI WILL HAVE PROPER REIGN, AND THE NEW MISS UNIVERSE WILL NOT HAVE THE SHORTEST REIGN EVER. IN ADDITION TO THIS, FOR ME WAS ALWAYS QUITE RIDICOULOUS HAVE A MISS UNIVERSE IN DECEMBER AND CALL HER MISS UNIVERSE 2019 (FOR EXAMPLE WHEN EFFECTIVELY HER REIGN IS ONLY FOR 10-20 DAYS IN 2019).

SO BETTER CANCEL THE IDEA OF HAVE A MISS UNIVERSE 2020 AND SKYP EVERYTHING IN 2021 AND IN THE NEXT YEARS WILL BE BETTER TO HOLD THE PAGEANT EVERYTIME BETWEEN JANUARY AND APRIL/MAY

I said that from the begging either appoint a Miss Universe 2020 or just leave the title vacant. Now the one that gets screwed is this new queen because now they will have to cut corners to set the schedule back the way it was

[georgj16]

It should be Miss Universe 2021 and have it back to the may season again.

I mean, it would be a long reign, but quite an unproductive and boring one for such an impactful Miss Universe. Poor Zozibini's stuck in NY without having been able to travel the world, unlike Catriona. 2018 was really meant for her anyways. Plus, she's too good for that small low-budget stage in Atlanta.

I actually dont think Catriona would have won in 2019

That would have been to her disadvantage since she would have been stuck with Chavit Singzon for 2 years. Baka mamaya maging sila na by 2021 if she stayed with him too long. Not to mention, she would have clapped together with Madison Berrios as the runners-up. She was lucky that her "silver linings" and her scripted answer about poverty was enough, she would have zero chance against Zozibini in terms of strength of Q&A.

No one even cared about Catriona outside the Filipino community. Even IMG people didn't seem to like her at all which is why Jonas seems to be having so much fun.
