My Final Top 15 for Mister International 2015 (Art layout by Jerome Aquino Caducoy)

My Final Top 15 for Mister International 2015 (Art layout by Jerome Aquino Caducoy)

wpid-received_10201276423748010.jpeg The Top 15 layout above shows the guys who have gotten my thumbs up for the first cut of Mister International 2015. It very clearly shows the five guys who are in the lead as per my personal analysis. And they are (in this order): Daniel Barreres of Spain, Pedro Mendes of Switzerland, Fernando Alvarez of Puerto Rico, Andrea Luceri of Italy and Reniel Villareal of the Philippines.

As for the Ten (10) others, I have made a salad mix of candidates very likely to do well with advantages being given to Anderson Tomazini of Brazil, Freds Rivera of the Dominican Republic, Rafael Angelucci of Venezuela, Chris Nayna of Australia, Jakub Kraus of Czech Republic, Cas Winters of the Netherlands, Nan Li of China, Halley Laithangbam of India, Kenny Austin of Indonesia and Alejandro Ruiz of Mexico.

Now if I were a judge, I would very quickly pencil in my winner and four runners-up the way I presented them above. But in any pageant, there are other factors – some unbloggable – that could alter the final outcome. It cannot be denied that lobbying is a natural occurence. Why else would National Directors from other countries fly to the host country a few days before the finals.

Of course, one cannot totally rely on the strength of such influences. If the hollers come from different directions, then predicting the final tally is open to a variety of combinations. So let me add one major spoiler of a delegate who could prove to be a game changer in the end.

In My Top 5, the first three places are non-negotiable. So I would safely place Spain, Switzerland and Puerto Rico in the magic circle. That leaves the 4th and 5th qualifiers open to changes. And Italy or the Philippines could be sacrificed in favor of one come-from-behind performer. While the host delegate would definitely gain the advantage normally, my gut feel is that he will get the axe. Sadly, that is. Also, Italy is likely to slip away. And who are the likely beneficiaries of their spots? Nan Li of China and Rafael Angelucci of Venezuela.

Here now is my Final Top 5, in alphabetical order of countries represented.

Much as I wanted Daniel Barreres of Spain to win Mister International 2015, there are signs that either Nan Li of China or Rafael Angelucci could really spoil things for the handsome Spaniard. It might also serve to break the male pageant-winning streak of Puerto Rico for Fernando Alvarez. And by now, Switzerland’s Pedro Mendes and the luster of his golden touch may have possibly gone dusty and all.

Bottomline: If either China or Venezuela becomes the successor of Neil Perez, I wouldn’t fall off my high swivel chair anymore. I still would go for Spain. But it could be a losing battle due to freshly-seen developments. This Top 5 could soon be a reality, though. If all things fall in the ‘right’ places, that is. 😉

  2. Mr International 2015 for me is Australia. 1st RU Puerto Rico. 2nd RU Spain. 3rd RU Switzerland. 4th RU Philippines.
    6th-10th Indonesia, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Italy.
    11th-15th Panama, Brazil, Lebanon, Poland, China.

    Kung hindi nanalo ang Pilipinas last year, malaki ang chance natin kay Rein.

  5. hmm, let me guess..china can spoil the fun because it has lobbied to host next year’s event (God forbid), and venezuela might win because of the politics of osmel??? yaay,if true, dirty politics rearing its ugly head..in an event hosted by the philippines.. TSK! TSK! TSK!

    • they might not be the judges’ nor the organizers’ choices but hell, they’re the majority’s top picks. i would be happy if the big winner will come from this group

  9. of course spain will win…why? because his mom is half-filipina. san ka pa sa pinas? tapos kakalat sa fb, MR. INTERNATIONAL: Pinoy

  10. I so love Mr Indonesia and Mr Australia. I still cant forget last year’s Mr Indonesia. Ohh my baby, Kevin was his name if i remember correctly. & i don’t mind if China, Spain or Singapore wins.

    I hate to say this but i reallly don’t see anything special with Mr Philippines. I’m sorry that i’m not fond of our bet but this is just my taste. I wish him best of luck though.

    • its ok, We super Reingers are aiming for a top 5 for him. or at least this Super Reinger. I think in a way, he knows he can’t win and i don’t think Mr. International does a back to back win either. Plus u can tell he’s such a gracious host and cool, calm collected kinda guy which epitomizes what Mr. International should be. I notice the more I examine the camaraderie of these fine men, the more i see some of them are quite desperate to get the title. Gentlemen, ur not in Miss Universe, male pageant should embodies a cool, nonchalant attitude like Ren, kinda like Chris Pratt, u know just enjoying himself

  11. Are f-ing kidding me! China? Ewwww! From the land of knock offs and fake goods, are u sure that guy isn’t fake? Lol anyhow of all the Asians aside from our Rein. I would rather go for Indo or India even Singapore I would consider def not China, China is a joke very average looking. Small frame ofcourse tiny d!ck, plus not to mention he ain’t charming at all! I would never consider Venezuela he’s older looking like his in his mid 40s and very robotic when he talks. I would hate this pageant to go down if they choose either these 2 hags, anyone but them. Rein for top 5. Atleast gift na Lang Nila yan sa Atin

  12. I would say Switzerland, Puerto Rico, Poland, Indonesia and Venezuela in the Top 5. Spoilers could be Czech Republic, Philippines, Brazil, Italy and Spain.

  18. Hmmm. I usually agree with Sir Norman’s choices but I think Brazil and Dominican Republic are very strong that anyone of them can take the title.

  19. Puerto Rico’s consistency in the looks department will surely put him on top! Brazil and Switzerland next…

  20. I think Mexico should replace Czech Republic

    China looks twinkish. Korea and Indonesia looks better than him.

    Puerto Rico should change places with Brazil

  23. I would definitely place Brazil in the Top 5 (if not the winner) over Philippines (sorry)… certainly put Poland in the Top 15 over China, Indonesia, India or Netherlands.

  24. this one is pretty tough to judge. there’s lots of possible winners! it could be anybody

  25. Naku po tsina daw!. Baka maging country of year sila Ms.Mundo sila na raw!? At nagbabanta na rin ms. Tsina kalawakan gagawin raw lahat makuha ang ms.kalawakan wow gandang lahi talaga! KAY MR.SPAIN HINDI KA MAN PALAIN , parasa karamiha mucho mucho guapito ka pa rin! Viva Espania ariva!ariva!

  26. Poland, Mexico, Panama, Belgium, Colombia and Guam are also deserving to win. Hirap mag judge halos lahat pwede kahit ang Mr. Singapore.
