Speaking skills will determine the winner!

So many goddesses are competing in Miss Universe this year! And it seems like the strategy to win is to not be obvious with the strategy!

Any thoughts? It is going to be a very competitive year. There is no clear winner so far.

Love that Celeste is going low-key. She will be jaw-dropping come finals. Watch

With so many beautiful candidates deemed to be front runners, I think it will come down to which queen is the most marketable and can attract more inverstors. They will choose based on what is best for their business. Anne spent millions to acquire the org and she's spending a lot more to make this edition spectacular, so she need someone who can help her to expedite ROI. If she's targeting Thai investors then Thailand is the best choice, BUT they'll be putting their reputation and integrity on the line. This edition is a make or break for JKN and Anne as the new owner of MUO. One wrong move can be devastating for them. Charot.

I think she should wow during prelims and interview and peak towards the finals.
I remember rabiya playing low-key even in the prelims til she only reached top 20 in the finals.

take it from Cat and Pia to always put the A game on.

The whole peaking at the right time is old. Zozibini, Andrea and Harnaaz competed in years where there were many prettier girls that were bigger favorites.

The Paulina Vega/Demi Leigh Peters/Catriona Gray heavy favorite easy wins are over since all the girls are taking advantage of social media now unlike back then when mainstream media coverage had control on which girl to hype and focus on.

Agree, communication skill will still determine the winner. But how come the close door interview is having a black out setting wherein the candidates will not see the panel of interviewers?

I kinda hate that part. It's still different when the candidate and the interviewer has some eye to eye contact. IMO

If it comes to speaking skills - INDIA, South Africa and USA will Eat out the hyped girls .The thing which matters the most is how to convey your thoughts with grace under pressure...

that's the reason SA and India won in 2019 and 2022 respectively.

Actually, it will be interesting if the new owner will pay attention to the speaking skills this year because based on the prize package, the new Miss Universe will be a muse/ambassador based in Thailand. Let's see what will happen.

[Elif87]

Totally agree!

So many stunners this season and I clearly see almost all of them have the catwalk and the general attitude, styling and makeup skills to look sharp.
( this was not the case like 3 years ago, many contestants could not even walk properly)
Now even our own Miss Turkey kills it in the catwalk dep. and I’m shocked by the numbers ( just look at her IG)

This will be up to ‘communication skills’

[Apolonia]

Ah yes. Also the reason why Pia and Catriona won

EXACTLY! Cat since her arrival was in her BEST FORM, she was never the "know when to peak" type, She's always PEAKING day after day till She was Crowned. I don't get this "LOW KEY" game plan and the chillin' No make up look paandar.
