Ugh this is so hard I think this batch is really strong so I just put my entire hot picks right now using last years format
Miss Universe South Africa - the complete package and I love her new look
1st Runner Up Mexico - big improvement in her speaking and best Latina by far, one of the best faces in the pageant
2nd Runner Up Canada - So naturally beautiful and one of the best speakers so far, she will go far especially since the interview counts for so much now
Top 6
4. Thailand - stunning, fierce and very well prepared with a big fan base, Natalie Glebova vibes. Very possible winner
5. Indonesia - love her look, best Miss Indonesia ever
6. Venezuela - Underrated and IMG prototype with her engineering background
Top 9
7. Colombia - Great speaker and very charismatic, big improvement from when she was crowned earlier this year.
8. Philippines - Not as strong as Maxine and Pia but her body, performance and oratory are very strong and will get her far
9. Australia - Great backstory, charming and beautiful face.
Top 13
10. Russia - Best Miss Russia since 2010, naturally gorgeous and a great speaker too, best from Europe by far.
11. Peru - Her stage presence and body will get her very far but she is a little pageant patty for my taste.
12. India - Just crowned yesterday but I see huge potnential in her
13. USA - only because she's USA but there are so many better girls than her it sucks that I had to leave them out but she's obviously going to make it so.
Other girls I like so far
Brazil - Most beautiful girl going in with curly hair but she's too young and is going in with the same look as USA, France and Croatia and I think they will only make room for one in the semis and that's USA.
Croatia - Great backstory and very pretty but again going in with the same look as USA, France and Brazil and USA will be favored.
Dominican Republic - she's definitely IMG prototype if she plays her cards to her advantage
France - Again going in with same look as USA, France and Croatia and USA will be favored but her speaking skills aren't great either.
Guyana - gorgeous, experienced and a great speaker with a passion but she's missing something that I can't put my finger on
Iceland - beautiful blonde and if she uses her story about body shaming with MGI she could make it far
Jamaica - If she competes with an afro she's going to get attention, haven't heard her speak but great body and presence
Malaysia - Underrated and experienced
Nepal - Very pretty and a strong first rep for Nepal! Potential fan vote winner
Poland - Naturally beautiful
Spain - Experienced, telegenic and a great speaker, I can see her going far.
U.S. Virgin Islands - If styled right she can look absolutely gorgeous and her experience will help her a lot.
