The opening dance of the Miss World 2016 pageant offered some tell-tale signs on how it would conclude. The sassy, fast beat music of the Fifth Harmony’s That’s My Girl seemed like a prelude to a dramatic twist in the plot. It should have been a warning sign that something awesome was bound to happen that would shake the very core belief that we had about Miss World.

The usual notion that a Miss World should be a sweet beauty bordering to being aloof and even calculating has been shattered this year. The winner of Miss World 2016, Stephanie del Valle of Puerto Rico, is a breath of fresh air for she has broken all the typical perceptions. She is cheerful and outgoing with a subtle hint of fierce Latina attitude. But then, if she is supposedly the anti-thesis of what many believed a Miss World should be, how come that Stephanie is now wearing that blue crown?

For many pageant analysts and majority of the general public, Stephanie winning the Miss World 2016 title was a total surprise. But as the one who penned the final Hot Picks of Miss World 2016, I had a gut feeling that Stephanie could prevail. Sure, we did not predict her victory but she topped our pre-arrival Hot Picks. For our final prediction, this is what I wrote: “Also in a serious contention for the crown is Miss Puerto Rico Stephanie Del Valle (8thplace). Her elegance, her glamorous beauty and her magnetic personality will make her a perfect Miss World.” I still stand by that comment for I believe it is her glamorous attitude, elegant demeanor and magnetic personality that persuaded the judges to give her the title.

Nevertheless, as tiresome it is to repeat it over and over again, there some people who are not happy with the results. They claim that Stephanie’s answer was not the best among the Top 5 but in my opinion hers was by far the strongest in terms of impact. Asked on what she would like to change something about the world, Stephanie, with her cute American drawl, eloquently summed it up by saying that she will “send a message of how important it is to change exclusion for acceptance, to promote and provide justice for others and the importance of helping of those in need.”

Stephanie answered straightforwardly, without lofty rhetoric and in fact it was bereft of any hyperbole. The content of her answer is sensible and feasible, though we have to concede that what she proposed is truly easier said than done. In my opinion, though this is not the popular view right now, Stephanie’s answer was key to her victory.

While I think that the results of Miss World 2016 were fair, I have to admit that critics of the results have some valid points. Chief among them is having the National Directors of Puerto Rico and Indonesia sitting as members of the judging panel. Personally, I think that both of them were just one of the many voices within the group. It would be mathematically improbable that the scores of these national directors would have altered the collective opinion of the jury. Still, it gives fodder to conspiracy theorists out there. With all due respect, I think Miss World should stop this practice as it just unnecessarily clouds the results.

For now, we can all look forward for a fun-filled reign of Miss World 2016 Stephanie del Valle. She is indeed a huge departure from the usual and while her star did not shine from the very beginning, that fateful chilly evening at MGM National Harbor proved to be a turning point for her. That jovial mood during the opening was truly a harbinger of an exciting finale. Stephanie del Valle beat the odds and she went there onstage showing her true self never imitating anyone until the moment that the judges came to the realization that she is truly their girl.

IN THE TOP 5 ANSWER, YOU NEED TO HAVE THE WORD 'HELP' IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT WINNING MW! YOU MAY TELL THIS, YOU MAY TELL THAT...BUT IF NO 'HELP', YOU MAY NOT WIN!

I FIRST NOTICED THIS IN 2008..INDIA GAVE A SPEECH...RUSSIA JUST SAID 'HELP'... :-P

I AM NOT TELLING IT IS ALWAYS THE CASE...BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR FUTURE CANDIDATES TO TAKE A NOTE :-*

THANK YOU :-*

Steph is stunning, I wached the show with delay for some minutes ago and Stephanie went streight for the crown. With her you, body, walk, aura, speach, smile everything... to me she is an upgrade from Mireia. Steph is edgy elegant at the same package, she knows what she wants. Congratulation again :hx :-*

Based on the top 5 Q&A, I was very sure the crown was between the Philippines and Puerto Rico. If the scores went back to zero from the top 5 then the basis of the answers should be from that Q&A. There should be no question if Puerto Rico won based on her answer but not to see Philippines on the top 3 was very suspicious...

we need to differentiate between best in english and best in answer,
I do agree Miss Philippines's english was the best among the top 5, but when it comes to the contend of the answer its PR & Indonesia,- :)>-
