The ladies above complete my Top 16 for Miss Earth 2014
Normally, I upload my final predictions for an important pageant a day or two before the finals night. But with the ongoing conduct of competitions in different parts of Europe, I decided to share my ultimate choices for Miss Earth 2014 earlier than usual. Besides, I would rather get this out in the open before the calls of Miss World, Miss Supranational and Miss Intercontinental come in quick succession once more.
So which four ladies do I expect to see topping the finals night this coming Saturday? There’s Zaira Bas from Spain who is my pick to win Miss Earth 2014. Add Miss Philippines Jamie Herrell who has performed well enough to secure her top placement. I will also include Andrea Neu of the USA. I believe she has been the best-performing American entry compared to her predecessors in the past few editions. And to complete the quartet, I would slip in Justine McEleney of Northern Ireland. I have a good feeling about this girl.
The next four (4) candidates on my list are no push-overs, though. Sendy Caceres of Paraguay, Alankrita Sahai of India, Eloisa Gutierrez of Bolivia and Anastasia Trysova of Russia are capable of pulling in a pleasant surprise and stealing the limelight from my perceived Elemental Winners. In particular, I trust Sendy as the most likely to go for the jugular here.
But what about the remaining eight (8) contenders pictured above? I’d say that one or two among them can reach Top 8 if they manage to come up with solid presentations for the judges come Saturday. Maira Alexandra Rodriguez of Venezuela, Sasi Sintawee of Thailand or Franceska Toro of Puerto Rico are my bets to do that in this group. At any rate, I don’t see a back-to-back victory for Venezuela, sadly.
Do I see come-from-behind placers among the rest? Most certainly. But I will just allow myself the pleasure of being amused by whoever will make the cut outside of the ones I have short-listed. After all, Miss Earth is also giving high premium on whoever has shown positive compatibility with the organization (read: less headaches), and that could be a relative thing from an outsider’s point of view.
The bottomline: Spain for the win. I would be very happy witnessing this Spanish beauty finally claim her country’s first Miss Earth crown. Seeing Jamie Herrell get the #1 spot won’t make me fall off my seat, but Andrea Neu of the USA is the other possibility I would be happy being crowned as winner. Spain or USA deserve to become Earth’s Top-ranked Warrior for 2014.
I wouldn’t mind reading your personal choices now, dear readers. 😉

Philippines, Thailand, USA, Paraguay. I’d like any of these ladies to get the earth crown.
Tita Norman nag-back out na si Miss France dahil sa Amoebiasis. Sabotage? kasi siya lang ang nagkasakit ng ganun.
I wouldn’t think of it as sabotage. Flora got close to Valerie and the other Yellow Team members, so it could be an isolated case.
Gusto ko rin sanang makisali sa prediction echos na ito. But then again, I only have one in my list. lol! I am too patriotic to support other delegates than Ms. Philippines! Manalo o matalo, I’m sticking my bet to Ms. Philippines! Go Jaimie! Eliminate all the girls and win the crown! No questions ask. lol!
Ninag, where is Zambia on your list?
Austria, France, and the three girls in the attached picture are my top 5.
Philippines Spain France Thailand Puerto Rico in that order.
Good list, Kuya Norms. I don’t know how you are keeping on top of all these big pageants. Sana naman we will get a victory to vindicate your efforts ☺️☺️☺️
Although personally I would put Venezuela higher. Never underestimate Osmel’s bet.
Goodluck Jamie! I want her to win. not because she’s representing the PH but I think she did her best and she’s one of the best MEP. nakikita ko si Karla Henry sakanya, and I hope same fate sila. 🙂
By co-incidence, the top 2 frontrunners in Miss Earth are exactly the same as in Miss Supranational — Philippines and Spain. I guess I’ll stick to being patriotic more than objective and I am feeling good about it! XD ❤
Philippines
Russia
Paraguay
Thailand
bet ko si miss philippines
so many deserving gurls in this year’s edition. they have preitter girls than Miss International,Supra or even miss world.
I don’t follow this pageant but from the looks of it there are so many deserving girls. I hope Jamie who has performed exceptionally well in the run-up to the finals will be robbed of victory just because she is the host delegate. I’m rooting for her not just out of Pinay pride but because she can be a great Miss Earth winner in my opinion.
*not be robbed of victory
This is the first time that I don’t have a pick or two to win the ME crown. It is even harder for me to filter the group to 16. I really appreciate those people who make predictions constructively like you Sir. Sometimes a competitive batch is a wasted batch, 2014 it is.
So many stunning girls this year – it is so hard to pick. For sure there will be heavy favorites who would not make the top 16 simply because there are only 16 placements.
I’m still rooting for Spain, Dominican rep., Brazil, Ukraine for the elemental crowns
My top 4

Seems kf and a&q are battling this time…kfbfor me and mi a&q for mw and ms thus same mission and goal mag bigay ng karangalan sa bansa…wait na lang tayo kaninong camp ang maka iskor…hope ang apat mag wagi…and ung pag lipat ba ni isabelle daza sa abscbn ay may chance na makakasali pa siya for bb.u? And ms.u?… 🙂
I would like to see an Asian win the Earth crown this year. It does not have to be the Philippines but that would be nice. Paraguay is a girl to watch out for as well as Puerto Rico and France. Indonesia is also leveling u. 🙂
Tita Norms, just curious… may I know why Sasi isnt part of your Elemental beauties?
