Tomorrow, Miss Intercontinental 2014 will be crowned at the Maritim Hotel in Magdeburg, Germany. As is customary in this blog, I am now sharing my final predictions on who might register best and be part of the winning circle.
Now, since the Top 5 is usually made up of the best in each continent (Africa, Asia & Oceania, Europe, North America and South America), here now is the quintet that I feel would be up there.
And considering that a Top 15 will be announced in the semifinals, below are the ten remaining contestants I would like to see being called to centerstage for the first cut.

Above are the ten (10) remaining delegates who could make up the Top 15 Semi-finalists of Miss Intercontinental 2014
Brief Analysis of the Top 5:
Africa: Donique Leonard’s toughest opposition for a Top 5 spot is Marie Nathalie Lesage of Mauritius. I gave the slight edge to the South African, though, as she may be able to acquit herself more competently in the preliminary interviews.
Asia: As for Kris Tiffany Janson, she has Myanmar’s 17 year-old Angel Lamung as strong alternate. The latter’s relative youth and inexperience may take a toll on her grace under pressure, though. And this is where the Filipina is deemed to make a full strike.
Europe: I initially pegged the host delegate, Fjoliza Avdiu, to be in a Top 5 tug-o-war with Laura Jayne Gregory. But after further assessment, the English contestant could be getting a more difficult time in a face-off with Joana Martins of Portugal. At any rate, I give an extra point for Miss England.
North America: Estefania Chavez is considered a favorite in Magdeburg. But then again, Jeslie Mergal of Cuba is also a stunner who could steal the limelight from her. Here is where it gets tricky. In the end, though, I would give the upper hand to the Mexican sash-wearer.
South America: Maria Alejandra Sanllorente of Venezuela is the biggest threat facing Carolina Crovo Sierra for a place in the final 5. But side by side, I can see Miss Colombia getting plus points for being the more superior candidate from this continent.

Colombia, Philippines and Mexico could provide a tough three-way battle for the title of Miss Intercontinental 2014
For the Crown:
As far as I’m concerned, there is a three-way battle for the title among Colombia, Mexico and the Philippines. And they have their own strengths and advantages in being crowned by Ekaterina Plekhova.
If social presence is to be used as a major gauge, then I believe the two Latinas have the edge over the Filipina. But pageantry is still and will always be a business that should be given premium by the German organizers. Here is where the chances of Kris Tiffany Janson are likely to get a major boost.
Like it or not, a win for Miss Philippines will definitely jack up the popularity and global pageant presence of the 43 year-old beauty contest. That’s not to say that either of the other two won’t help build the name of Miss Intercontinental. But the people behind WBO should learn a thing or two from what happened to the then-five-year-old Miss Supranational when Mutya Datul won in 2013.
That’s all. Thank you. 😉
Good luck to all the ladies! 😀
Philippines na naman, tapos pag natalo mga bitter na naman.
Wala na bang ibang bansa?
Magbuhat ka ug laing nasod unya ikaw ang motalyada ug moapil haron seguradong kang modaog. Animal gyud kang bayota ka.
Madami pa: Pilipinas, Filipinas, Perlas ng Silanganan, PH, Pinas, at may iba pa

Agree with you Norman 🙂
@Franco nice story telling. Naghanap ka lang ba ng ingay? Lol

#Pathetic
Kris Tiffany should win Intercontinental,
Sorry, but her swim suit photo looks like she’s showing off her pubic hair around her reproductive entrance. Other than that, go Tiffany!
Kris will surely slay the competition. She’s the goods and the determination to win it all. If it will make business sense to make her win, I think it’s just icing on the cake. Kris is gorgeous, smart, well-spoken, and above all, charisma. Kris for Miss Intercontinental 2014!
Krisjanson kawna!
Hi Norman, Is there a live streaming?
I will post a link if there will be one.
Daming maganda, Portugal maganda
Good choices, Norman! I like SA and Venezuela. If SA wins MI, there will be a halo effect in MW and MS.
Side note: SA delivered a solid speech during the MW Debate tonight at Oxford University. She talked about her being a test tube baby and what being a woman is all about. A lot of students asked her questions about life, beauty, and more. Bar none, she is a quick thinker and extemporaneous speaker!
MW 1953 Denise Perrier was a true French sophistication from outfit to wit. She was asked a lot of questions also.
The most fascinating question of the night: Will the MWO allow transgender to compete also like what MU did in 2012? Netherlands tip-toed on that question but had a shaky answer of yes.
Pakshet…yun na yun. Alam na…
Oh crap… how did Val do?
Val didnt have the chance to speak. Well actually she had plenty of chances but she didnt speak at all. 😦
Valerie did not speak but she was there. Megan opened the discussion by talking about her reigh and BWAP. She also answered several questions from students.
SA, Indonesia, Netherlands, Brazil, Guyana, Barbados, England, and Trinidad & Tobago were the speakers. During the Q&A portion, several students from Oxford University asked the candidates anything — almost like a final question night type of tough and complicated issues.
Any of the girls can answer the questions but SA commanded that stage like a debate champion. One good looking English guy was flirtatious with her too. If I remember last year, this was the public speaking skills test of Megan when she spoke on stage during a press conference in Bali.
I’d like to add that when Denise Perrier spoke in French, Ms. England translated for her. A student also asked her what she think has changed a lot since she was crowned in 1953. Such a class act woman!
I forgot to include that the BIG surprise of the night is India has poor public speaking skills. She had many “ahhhhs” and paused a long time before expressing her thoughts.
Ranking the speaker’s performance: SA, Guyana, Indonesia, Netherlands, and England.
Deads na to. oh well…ako na lang sana pinadala nila dun. napagod pa sana sila sakin hahaha…wala eh. bibo pala talaga pag test tube baby. lahat ng ajinomoto at kung anu pang kumpletos rekados andun na…..bwisit bat ko ba binoto si guyana? yan tuloy umaariba
This is the psychics’ predictions on Kris:

Let’s see what happens.
South Africa may have the body but the face?… mehhhh
Mexico’s face looks like our Vanessa Hudgens but still Kris is so much prettier… as in so much….
The rest are not even in the same league…
slay them all!!!
Hohummm… the crown is in the bag!
Next pageant please!!!
PS… Colombia looks plain… as in soooo much….
You’re a little to feisty tonight Norman. haha!
Big question is, will the organizers give Kris or any Asian an chance this year? It has been long since an Asian won this title I believe.
Agree! Ms. Intercontinental’s popularity will surely skyrocket if they let Kris win! Well, it would be a win-win situation for the org and Kris. Kris is a deserving winner who will propel Ms. Intercontinental’s popularity to greater heights. Even Ms. World’s popularity surged better than Ms. Universe when Megan won. Same case with Mutya. And MJ will bring back the glamour of Ms. Universe if she will be crowned Ms. Universe come Jan. 25. Wow, this is so exciting! So good luck Kris! Do your best and you’ll nail the top prize. You can do it!
