MSU'S AFTER ARRIVAL HOT PICKS
Ok, this edition of Miss Universe is quite interesting! I'm liking so many girls! I'm going to do a different hot picks now as I still have so many doubts on who will make the Top 15... I will select 5 girls per region who caught my attention! And here they are:
AFRICA
1) Angola. In such a week group as Africa is this year, for me Angola is the only standout, but still I wouldn't mind not seeing her in the Top 15. A Top 15 with no african queens won't be crazy this year.
2) Nigeria. Together with Angola she's the only one who I think could make it but still she's not my cup of tea.
2) Egypt. This girl is surprising, her exotic beauty caught my attention. She's good considering she comes from a non-powerhouse country, but I don't think she has any chances of making it.
4) Kenya. Good facially but hating her hairstyle. Actually I think her facial features are very interesting...
5) South Africa. I needed to fill an empty spot in this Top 5, she's the less bad of the rest. So sad coming from a country which finished 1st Runner Up last year... Definetely, very weak year for Africa.
AMERICA
1) USA. Whole another story with America! Such a strong continent! But the best is USA with no doubts! She's a living barbie and is just the perfect beauty queen!
2) Paraguay. Best Miss Paraguay ever! Her face is so delicate and her body is to die for! I think she might take it all!
3) Costa Rica. This girl's face comes a little too harsh sometimes, I think it's because of the eyebrows... Still she's very beautiful and has a very good body. I think she can make it!
4) Colombia. Loving her body and her overall package, but not buying her facial beauty... I think there are better girls facially. Still, good enough and better than last year's (who made the Top 10 surprisingly)
5) Ecuador. The host girl! I love her when she doesn't smile but when she does her whole face comes a little horsy... Still I think she's one of the best from America and if she manages to control her smile she can make a huge surprise.

ASIA & PACIFIC
1) Australia. Do I need to say anything about this stunning australian beauty? She's just perfect and HAS to be in Top 5!
2) India. Why nobody is talking about India? Her body is petite, ok... but her beauty is so elegant and perfect! I think we will see India in Top 15 again!
3) Philippines. Philippines is not playing this time! This girl is fierce and so beautiful! I'm smelling a Top 10 for her...
4) Japan. Second time in a row we see Japan in Top 15? I think it can happen! She's very beautiful, fresh and modelesque, so I wouldn't mind seeing her making the cut
5) Thailand. Fresh and innocent. She's not the best from this region but I think she can pull a surprise!
Bubbling Up: 6. Turkey / 7. Israel / 8. Korea / 9. Lebanon / 10. Vietnam
CARIBBEAN
1) Jamaica. Best from this region with no doubt! She's one of my sentimentals and I wouldn't mind seeing her taking it all! Such a refreshing beauty!
2) Puerto Rico. Nobody is talking about her! She's good! Facially she's not the best, ok, I get it... but she has a good presence and is a performer. I think PR will make it this year
3) Aruba. Another beauty who seems to be passing unnoticed! This girl's beauty is so fresh and she was 1st Runner Up in Miss World 2001!!! (Former Miss Universe contestant Agbani Darego won that one). I think Zizi deserves her placement!
4) Trinidad & Tobago. Not loving her beauty but I think she's elegant and has a very good presence and body. I won't scream if she doesn't make it but I'll be nice if she does
5) Curacao. I need to see more from this girl but she looks very promising! I'm liking her natural beauty. She reminds me a little to Miss Jamaica but worse...
Bubbling Up: 6. Barbados / 7. Guyana / 8. Antigua & Barbuda
EUROPE
1) Switzerland. This girl is just so beautiful. She has a timeless beauty that could make it in any Miss Universe edition. She's one of my sentimentals.
2) Ukraine. This girl's beauty is out of this world! One of the best faces of the bunch, although sometimes she comes out a little too mature...
3) Norway. Sometimes this girl is a goddess and sometimes she's just beautiful. I think she needs to control her facial expression and give more a fierce-modelesque beauty, which suits her better. Her Glamshot is pure PERFECTION!
4) Germany. I know she'll be a dark horse but I just LOVE HER! Her beauty is so different yet so queenly and exotic. I cross my fingers so she pulls a surprise!
5) Spain. She has what Eva Gonzalez missed and misses what Eva had. She's all about the body and the performance. That's great and I think she can make it in Top 15, but I don't think she deserves more because face-wise there are better girls.
