At Miss Universe 1997, 3 of the black candidates (Margot, Verna & Denny) made it to the Top 6, either of these three would had won Miss Universe 1997 and would had made a historic "Black Girl Magic" 3 peat in the next two years when Wendy and Mpule won Miss Universe 1998 and 1999 respectively.

Now we focus on another of the heavy favorites to win Miss Universe 1997 at that time. Denny Mendez of Italy was placed first after the Top 6 announcement despite she did not finish 1st in all 3 semifinal events. Many of us at that time will expect Denny to become Italy's 1st Miss Universe winner and Big 5 titleholder after their multiple runners-up finish in the past (particularly in 1987 where Roberta Capua lost to Cecilia Bolocco of Chile). Just like Verna, she failed to advance into the Final 3.

Why do you think Denny and some Italians (especially Miss World 2000 and Miss World 2005) in this current era fell short of winning the Big 5 title despite Italy is one of the fashion capitals around the world?

SIMPLY. ITALIAN HAS NO CULTURE ABOUT BEAUTY PAGEANT.

DENNY WAS A LATINA AND COMPETED IN 1995 MISS DOMINICAN REPUBLIC SO SHE KNOWED HOW PAGEANTS WORKED.
AND ROBERTA CAPUA WAS AN EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT GIRL, A RARE GEM.

BUT FOR EVERYBODY, BEAUTY PAGEANTS ARE SOMETHING OLD, IRRESPECTFUL FOR THE WOMEN, ANACRONISTIC WITH STUPID GIRLS.

AND THIS IS ALSO BECAUSE OF HORRIBLE AND INCOMPETENT ORGANIZATIONS.

MISS ITALIA: BORING AND DEATH PAGEANT. NO FORMAT, STUCK WITH 1950s CRITERIA, WITH THE GIRL STILL CROWNED IN SWIMSUIT! NO SWIMSUIT COMPETITION, NO EVENING GOWN COMPETITION, NO CATWALK OR FASHION SHOW. NOTHING. AND THE RIDICULOUS Q&A "DO YOU LIKE GO TO THE DISCO?" "YOUR BOYFRIEND LIKES YOUR PARTECIPATION?" "WHAT TIME WOULD YOU LIKE TO LIVE?" "DO YOU LIKE COOKING?" BLEAH

MISS MONDO ITALIA: INCONSISTENT. NO Q&A PORTION AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW MISS WORLD WORKS. THEY KNOW THE FAST TRACK BUT THEY TOTALLY IGNORE THE EMPHASIS ON BEAUTY WITH A PURPOSE...

MISS UNIVERSE ITALY: THE WORST OF THE WORST. ITS IDIOT NATIONAL DIRECTOR, EGOCENTRIC AT MAXIMUM! THEY DESPERATLY NEED A SOCIAL NETWORK CONSULTANT "THE BEST PAGEANT IN THE WORLD" "THE BEST NATIONAL DIRECTOR OF THE WORLD" "UNIVERSE UNITED". WITHOUT CONSIDER THAT ALSO THIS ORG DOESNT HAVE A Q&A PORTION AND THEY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE STUPID AND BITCHY AND PORNISH GIRL.

TO RESUME: INCOMPETENT ORGANIZATION, NO PAGEANT CULTURE, THE CONTESTANTS THEMSELVES THINK THAT PAGEANTS ARE ONLY BIG BOOTY, PRETTY FACE, NO BRAIN, HOT PHOTO.

THE ONLY HOPE IS THAT SOFIA PAVAN WILL WIN MISS UNIVERSE ITALY 2020, BUT WITH THOSE PIG NATIONAL DIRECTOR ANOTHER PORNSTAR LOOKING GIRL WILL WIN.

For me, just for me- she is not beautiful enough. yes she is tall, has a model figure but not a beauty for pageants.

She reminded me of Thandie Newton. I loved her more than the two pageant patty runners-up, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela!
