Holly Hale is Miss Universe GB 2012

[AbiRose]

Yes people, entries are already open to find Chloe-Beth Morgan's successor.

Will we finally have a Scottish rep?
Will Front girls be the front runners (again)?

I know this is probably way too early but i'll be keeping my ear to the ground, chances are some of the Miss England finalists will decide to enter after this year's final on the 19th. Also i've put my forms in, I figured I may as well, so i'll keep you updated on what I hear

[ruthymay]

Wow, seriously getting in there early! I'm debating whether or not to enter. Isn't the sponsorship really expensive? xxx

[Shamster]

Wow! They're starting early this year. Hopefully that will mean the winner will have more time to prepare.

Did you sign up, Abi? I really hope you can compete this year! Please keep us updated!

[AbiRose]

Hey Ruth! Sponsorship is a bit steeper than Miss England that's for sure but I forget what the exact figure is. Think it's around the £500 mark - if it is, now i'm working 2 jobs and training in the fire service i have some more money to put into it so i may split it half and half with the sponsors I had for Miss Modelzed this year.

Shamster, I have indeed entered! I expect it may be a while before we hear anything back but it gives me time to prepare properly, source the right dresses etc (I will PM you some of the dresses I like and see what you think!)

[ruthymay]

Woah, I don't think I will be able to afford £500, I think my boyfriend would have a fit, we are meant to be saving up for travelling! Argh, really want to enter though, might have to get on the sponsorship campaign (seems like all I do sometimes lol!). Did you enter it last year Abi?

I did but i was stranded in Scotland with my then-boyfriend when the semi finals were on and no way was he prepared to drive from Edinburgh to the East Midlands! Whether I would've made the final or not remains to be seen.

I'm getting a steadier wage now so i'm going to save up so i can afford to subsidise it so it costs a company less than it would otherwise. This is on top of saving for several Jovani's, a Sherri Hill and a Scala dress! haha!

[ruthymay]

Ha ha, I want a new dress too, although I only just bought one that I haven't even worn in a pageant yet so I don't think I will be allowed another one for ages!

That's a bit rubbish about last year, hopefully I will be able to afford it, would be cool if you were there too! I definitely need to hit the gym before I enter though, especially if we are doing swimwear (haven't done it in ages!) xxx

I've just started a new regime at the gym and i've got a pack for P90x, its just a question of fitting it in ha! I'm starting the first (of many) of my Fire Service courses on the 18th and the fitness is a bit like the Army stuff so i'm thinking that might whack me into shape! I don't wanna turn into muscle woman or make myself too thin but obviously I want to be toned up!

I agree, always nice when there's a familiar face or two in there with you

Have to say it, unless your going to be sponsered by frontUK dont bother entering.

Two of my friends competed in the Miss Universe GB this year and it was a blatant hoax.
There were no Top 10, and all 6 FrontUK Sponsered girls qualified in the top 5, even former Miss England 2008 and Miss Galaxy 2010 didnt even make the cut. They said that the contestant with the highest public votes, won the not in vain award and raised the most money for charity would be given a 20 point headstart EACH. ??? The contestant with the highest public vote also got the not in vain award, but still somehow couldnt qualify for top 5 either.

Then there was the Miss congeniality award. *rolls eyes* Dont even know why they bothered having one this year - It was announced onstage, a trip to Morroco to the winner of Miss Congeniality, the prize went to a deaf contestant. It was her 3rd try at MUGB. 2 days after the pageant she was told the prize was to be given to the current winner Miss Universe Great Britain instead!!! So she got nothing, no ribbon, no prize, nothing, she was absolutely devastated.

Alot of the girls arent entering again this year, but if any of you want to still go ahead, please do, but atleast for those who dont know, you do now.

No doubt the contest is a bit too much "rigged". This year's Chloe victory is definitely really QUESTIONABLE. :|

Miss Universe Great Britain - SANDRA (Handsworth)
First RU - JUDITH (Nottingham)
Second RU - RACHEL (Glastonbury)

[Shamster]

Is she confirmed to compete in Miss Universe GB?

I wouldn't get my hopes up because they always pick a WTF winner.

She has to win first people...i've been hearing lots of promising candidates for this year so she won't have it easy.

[JuliusPlat]

Alize Lily Mounter for Miss Universe GB 2012

[AbiRose]

Alize Lily Mounter for Miss Universe GB 2012

Won't happen. We don't seem to like sending girls to more than one pageant per year (or ever, for that matter, with Chloe Beth being the noted exception), and Alize is already going to Miss International next year as Miss UK. Besides, she won't have handed her Miss England crown over by the time MUGB finals take place, so she'd not be allowed to compete even if she wanted to.

[Greek & Latin]

She better doesn't waste money joining it. MU GB is the MOST rigged Beauty Pageant in the whole world.
Still can't believe Cloth Beth Morgan won last year,she's FUGLY!!

[UK_Pageant_Guru]

She has to win first people...i've been hearing lots of promising candidates for this year so she won't have it easy.

I'm certain it's about the performance on the night and I know this girl will bring it. Everytime I hear these 'fix' stories I always end up totally seeing why they won on the night. Unfotunatley the UK never sends out a girl that photogenic and has stage prescene and these 2 go hand very much hand in hand for Universe. Sandra's beauty may finally place for us in an international pageant. Excited for 2012!

She didn't place at Miss Earth...

[UK_Pageant_Guru]

I don't think it matters that she didn't place at Miss Earth. In fact she stands a better chance of placing at Universe because she didn't place at Earth. Sandra looked adorable ar Earth but it's clear she wasn't suited for the Miss Earth market. India was a stunning winner! Anyway, every pageant star has a journey to their winning moment and I hope this is hers! I'm hoping to find more live or video footage of her soon. Be good to see her interview prescence.
