She stumbled over her words in the beginning and her diction and overall delivery was not as strong. I knew in that moment she wasn't going to win. Zozi on the other hand was the clear standout and her answer was iconic. But thats a topic for a different day. What is clear is that the ladies should show up and represent themselves the best way they see fit and not succumb to what they think Miss Universe wants. When Zozi did that, she finally won Miss South Africa and then went on to win Miss Universe.
I AGREE. I REWATCHED AND I DONT THINK DAVINA HAD THE BEST ANSWER (EVEN THOUGH HAVING THE BEST ANSWERS DOESN'T GUARANTEE A WIN). SHE DID HOWEVER HAVE THE MOMENTUM AND SHE DIDNT LET THE SLIP UPS AFFECT HER CONFIDENCE.
JUDGES USUALLY HAVE THEIR MINDS MADE UP FROM PRELIM INTERVIEWS AND AS LONG AS THEIR FAVORITES DONT MESS UP BIG TIME, THEY USUALLY COME THROUGH FOR THEM IN THE END.
