Continental Finalists

Postby sephie » Fri Jun 01, 2018 5:38 am

    

For Miss Universe 2018, I still support the continental selection- Africa&Asia, Americas and Europe.
The advantage is that it makes the semifinalists more dynamic.

However, i think that we can let go of the Wildcard entries and just increase the number of ladies making the cut.
For example, 6 or 7 girls per continent will advance to the next round. So first cut will have 18 or 20 semifinalists.

What do you think?

It's fair and unfair at the same time :%))

The continental selection is kind of balanced out by the wildcard picks

If I were given a chance, I'd make it a Top 20... 4 spots is not enough for strong regions like Asia & America...

6 from the Americas
6 from Africa & Asia Pacific
4 from Europe
4 Wildcards

Sooner or later, the pageant will have more than a hundred contestants, so my suggestion would be to make a top 25 by that time. If the same format will be used, then I suggest

5 for Asia-Pacific and Africa
5 for Europe
5 for North America
5 for South America
5 Wildcards

Conversely, people should realize that the concept of continents are much more confusing and arbitrary than we think. Here's the video that explains why.

We might as well ditch the whole continental finalists.

Its unfair. Miss Universe should be the best of the best. Latinas are strong this year and it would be a shame if many end up clapping just because of this PC continental format. Asians were strong last year and girls were left out.

AT THE END OF THE DAY ONLY ONE GIRL WILL WIN AND IF A GIRL IS REALLY "THE BEST OF THE BEST" SHE'LL MAKE IT RRGARDLESS OF THE FORMAT.

THE CURRENT FORMAT GIVES MORE GIRLS HOPE OF AT LEAST PLACING. AND IT'S A GLOBAL CONTEST...WE DON'T WANT TO SEE 12 WHITE (INCLUDING LATIN) TYPES WITH ONE OR TWO BLACKS, ASIANS OR OTHER RACES THROWN IN.

MOST PEOPLE DON'T CARE IF THE 6 OR 7TH BEST LATINA CLAPS.

They should get rid of this continental format, Miss Universe is like the Olympic Games of beauty, sportsmen are not limited according to their continents at the Olympic Games. They should leave that to Miss Intercontinental, it corresponds more to their image.
TOP 5 for Miss Universe 2024 :

1. France 2. Mongolia 3. Kazakhstan
4. Venezuela 5. Kyrgyzstan

All delegates vying for the title are all of equal importance. They just have to work things out. Survival of the fittest. Continental finalists are chosen by the judges and the remaining wildcards are judged by the MUO and IMG ( chosen few) ........ so leave it as it is !!!!

I actually liked the format, it was exciting to watch last year.

But then, this year the 4 spots for Asian & Africa are already taken by Philippines and South Africa for sure, 1 for Thailand if that girl is chosen, 1 for a black candidate. Poor Vietnam and H'hen, the Huong Pham curse continues =;))

However, I think they should keep it. The show is much less boring because of it.

My only problem with this format is that they clumped Asia-Pacific and Africa together. That's like three continents together in one group! It would be better if they separate the selection for Africa or just clump it with a weaker continent such as Europe. :=p

EUROPE IS ALREADY THE BIGGEST GROUP...A SMALL CONTINENT BUT MANY SASHES. AFRICA HAS FEWER COUNTRIES COMPETING AT MISS UNIVERSE. SO IT MAKES SENSE TO JOIN IT WITH ASIA PACIFIC WHICH STILL HAS LESS SASHES THAN EUROPE. IT'S ALL ABOUT BALANCING THE NUMBERS AS EVEN AS POSSIBLE.

THE WILD CARDS ARE THERE TO MAKE AMENDS.

I THINK THAT IF THERE IS OUTCRY FROM THE LATIN REGION MUO WILL SCRAP THIS FORMAT SOON.

That is my point, Europe may have a big amount of sashes but it usually is the weakest continent along with Africa (although even last year Africa was amazing). It sounds great on paper but sometimes it means great girls will clap by default, then what is the point?

in 2008 there were 5 girls from the Americas (we would have had to cut one) and those 5 for me have always been some of my favorite and strongest queens for their respective countries. You telling me I have to choose one to go to fill a quota? Nah.

Last year both Asia/Pasific and the Americas needed another spot yet they gave them to Croatia, China, Ireland and Canada... I still don't know how Indonesia clapped ~X( ~X(

Europe has many sashes, but it still one of the weakest performers along with Africa. It is unfair to clump a strong continent and a weak continent since many sashes in Asia and Pacific region deserved to place than some European countries that make the cut. It would be better if they just clump Europe and Africa together since most of the countries from both continents that enter in the Top 16 get axe early in the competition.

This! They've been wasting spots to certain weak sashes and eliminate the stronger ones. Better yet, scrap the continental format or add more slots and make it Top 20 like in 2006.

If they'll make it a Top 20:
7- Americas
6- Asia/Pacific
4- Africa/ Europe
3- Wildcard

The most stupid concept ever. The top 15 should be composed of the best in the group. IMG, stop imposing affirmative action on a beauty pageant. Just pick the best and deserving candidates.

However, i think that we can let go of the Wildcard entries and just increase the number of ladies making the cut.
For example, 6 or 7 girls per continent will advance to the next round. So first cut will have 18 or 20 semifinalists.

What do you think?




Well, I agree with this idea. Because this promotes diversity in the top 15 of miss universe competition.
but i prefer this SELECTIONS:

-TOP 5 FROM COMBINED ROUNDS OF PRELIMINARIES

plus TWO spots from each group

-North and South America
-Carribean Islands
-Europe
-Africa and Middle east
-Far East Asia and Oceania

HOW IS IT?

The advantage is that it makes the semifinalists more dynamic.

However, i think that we can let go of the Wildcard entries and just increase the number of ladies making the cut.
For example, 6 or 7 girls per continent will advance to the next round. So first cut will have 18 or 20 semifinalists.

What do you think?




Well, I agree with this idea. Because this promotes diversity in the top 15 of miss universe competition.
but i prefer this SELECTIONS:

-TOP 5 FROM COMBINED ROUNDS OF PRELIMINARIES.

plus TWO spots from each group

-North and South America
-Carribean Islands
-Europe
-Africa and Middle east
-Far East Asia and Oceania

HOW IS IT?
