In my opinion, Fan vote system usually gives entry to an undeserving girl who could not perform in the prelims ( as we have seen in the past also) and is taken up in the line up just because of the fantards who are day and night voting for her. This totally lowers the standard of the competition. Instead, they should have a PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD just like they have Best National costume, Miss Photogenic and Miss Congeniality awards as a consolation to the so called "Popular queen".
I don't get the idea of #SAVETHEQUEEN also. If the girl is good enough she will pass any challenge of the competition on her own merit. Why one has to care about who is trending on the twitter. I think the respectable judges should be the only one to decide who amongst the contestants is deserving enough to move forward in the competition. Plus it is completely unfair in my opinion as certain countries are more pageant fanatic than the others irrespective of their girl is good enough or not.
Miss Universe being the biggest beauty pageant should completely focus on "BEAUTY", "PERFORMANCE" & "PERSONALITY". That would make the competition fair for all.
How many of you agree with this notion ?
