The fifteen (15) delegates I am expecting to perform well during the Miss Universe 2015 Presentation Show

The fifteen (15) delegates I am expecting to perform well during the Miss Universe 2015 Presentation Show

unnamed Tomorrow, December 16 (Thursday morning in Manila), at The Axis inside Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, the Official Candidates of Miss Universe 2015 will have their crucial Presentation Show where the preliminary competitions in swimsuit and evening gowns will take place. Performances in these two segments will complete the individual score tally of each lady after the closed door interviews being held today. After adding up everything, the names of the Top 15 will be arrived at, to be announced during the finals on December 20.

I have picked fifteen (15) contestants to shine in the event. And if they actually deliver all around, then expect the following to be called as semifinalists (in alphabetical order):

Australia – Monika Radulovic
Brazil – Marthina Brandt
Colombia – Ariadna Gutiérrez
Dominican Republic – Clarissa Molina
France – Flora Coquerel
Great Britain – Nena France
Jamaica – Sharlene Radlein
Kosovo – Mirjeta Shala
Mexico – Wendy Esparza
Peru – Laura Spoya
Philippines – Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach
Portugal – Emilia Araujo
USA – Olivia Jordan
Venezuela – Mariana Jimenez
Vietnam – Pham Huong

Very specifically, I am keeping a close eye on six contenders who are considered shoo-ins to make the first cut very easily. And they are Colombia, France, Peru, Philippines, USA and Venezuela.

I will be keeping a very close eye on the six ladies above.

I will be keeping a very close eye on the six ladies above.

Time to buckle down to your armchair judging as the Miss Universe 2015 Presentation Show will be the second most exciting pageant night this 2015. I’m pretty sure there will be live streaming on the official website. 😉

  1. After the prelims , my list below just changed. I wish there were top 16 like the olden days. My 16:

    Philippines
    Dom Rep
    Vietnam
    France
    Colombia
    Georgia
    Belgium
    USA
    Peru
    Montenegro
    Chile
    Spain
    Australia
    Japan
    Italy
    Kosovo

    My next 9 bets-
    -Czech Rep
    -Venezuela
    -India
    -Brazil
    -Thailand
    -Curacao
    -Paraguay
    -Great Britain
    -Ireland

    Let us see your top 25 !

  2. Pia looks beautiful when she does NOT smile. When she smiles, she looks kind of weird, not a MU queen kind of smile. This may be a big trouble. Honestly I don’t really think Pia deserves to be in top 5, too many more beautiful girls this year. If she does place in top 5, it’s the sash factor/fan influence more than anything. I think she should be in top 15 at most.

    Come on, it is one thing to support your home queen, but we should acknowledge beauties from other countries also…

  3. Just my opinion…
    Colombia… she’s beautiful… but i don’t think MUO will let another back to back to happen… back to back USA posible p cguro in the future but not Colombia.
    Vietnam… hanggang Top 10 lang siguro… pero MUO will not let a country win kung ndi naman cla nagsesend ng candidate every year pero s Miss World halos every year andun cla… bago cla eh uunahin n muna ng MUO ang Pinas, Thailand, India, or even Indonesia na big event ang Miss U…
    Venezuela… nakakatakot lang n ndi cya ganun kahype at pinapansin… Stefania and Gabriela were like that pero lahat tau nagtaka kung pano cla nanalo… pero they had proven n ok naman pla cla…
    Philippines… feeling ko may chance… Mexico placed nung 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 pero ligwak cla nung 2009… 2010 eh winner cla… although nasa Top 10 p rin c MJ last year, ndi tau naging ganun kasaya… probably, irereward naman tau ng MUO for sending great girls these past few years…
    Bahamas… this year nabura ang Delaware Curse… bka ngaun din mabubura ang s Bahamas.
    France… although maganda naman cya pero nagsend n rin ang France ng gaya niya nung year 2000… hanggang Top 10 lang cguro.
    Sana ganito maging ranking… sana lang… 🙂
    1. Philippines
    2. Colombia
    3. USA
    4. Kosovo
    5. Japan

  4. Best of Luck, PIA…The entire nation is very proud of you 🙂 Do what you’re good at and have fun on the stage.

  5. I’ll be watching and keeping my eyes on the Beautiful Miss RUSSIA. She’s my wildcard candidate this year 🙂

  6. I’ll be watching and keeping my eyes on the beautiful, Miss RUSSIA. She’s my wildcard this year 🙂

  7. I’ll be watching the beautiful, Miss RUSSIA. She’s my wildcard this year 🙂

  8. different glamour shots of Pia. WOW!!! mas ok pa pala to kaysa don sa Profile nya eh! grrrr. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=439594222910634

    May nakita din ako humored gown nya kulay green so gourgeous may cut sa details at the right. mukang makakagalaw sya ng maayos sa gown na yon pero medyo mabigat yata ung sa part ng neck nya papunta sa center ng dibdib part of the gown. anyone pakipost nga d2 if nakita nyo bigla kase nawala d ko na nakita.
    saw australia’s gown wow!!! gold or brown i think.

    Corrected by, teh. I respect Nick Verreos and much of his views on fashion, but we should just take his particular opinion on Pia’s gown portrait with a grain of salt dahil tanggap naman ng Pia supporters, detractors and mutations of Angelo Reyes na substandard and below par naman talaga ang Cumbia gown na pilit pinasuot sa kanya ni tandang Stella Marungis de Arinola. At least kahit pangit ang gown, panalo pa rin ang bearing at projection ni Pia Papaya. Di nga!

  12. hayyy. okay guys!
    My Top 3 in Miss Unibeki is….
    Angelo Reyes – Miss Unibeki
    Jack Ammo – Miss Unibeki Alias 1
    Thomas – Miss Unibeki Alias 2

  13. Halu Anton, yang Nick Verrios na yan, ganyan din naman ang eksena nya sa yellow gown ni Janine nung Miss Universe 2012 eh. Bkt naging 1st runner up pa si Janine. At yung mga gown na nire-review nya, hindi naman yun usually ang sinusuot ng candidates sa Prelims at Finals. Haisst

  14. @kabiliran
    Sorry naman. Sadyang maawain lang kasi talaga ako sa mga nagmamakaawa at nanlilimos ng pansin. Anyway it’s for a noble cause naman eh – ang ikatatahimik ng kaluluwa niyang saksakan ng lungkot at pagiging miserable sa mundong ibabaw. Di nga!

  16. wag mo na kasi pansinin. the more na may magrereply dyan, the more na magdidiwang yan. as it is hindi naman titigil yan, so pag nakita mo na name nya, wag na basahin. laktaw agad.

  17. SASHES AND TIARAS…..Miss Universe 2015 Evening Gown Portraits Part Two: The Pageant Betty’s, Oh Dear Too Mucheey & “Go-On Girl” Award

    Too Mucheey Hoochie & Chonchee and Too Mucheey Everything: Miss Universe 2015 Evening Gown Portraits

    In my last post HERE, I discussed my FAVORITES from the Miss Universe 2015 “Official Website Evening Gown Portraits” (as well as which designs disappointed me), so naturally, now it’s time to talk about the Pageant Betty’s and “Ayyy Mija!” designs–and one last special “Go-On Girl” Gown recognition…

    Let’s get to it–Let’s begin with “Pageant Betty’s”———————————————————–

    Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach: I know, I know, I am sure everyone from here to the Philippines will hate me but I just thought that gorgeous Pia looked too old-school Pageant Betty in this design. Pia could look like a fabulous fashion model DIVA and instead, in this gown she looked like it was 1998 and she was a candidate in that year’s Miss Philippines pageant. The gown is very “been there/done that”. Not to mention those earrings…GIRL! And for some reason, all I could look at is how BIG her “sistahs” look; there too much focus on her big ol’ breasts–with this strapless dress. On a good note: her face and hair style are flawless.

    • Hahaha alam mo anton lahat yata tyo na trauma kay stella maritha arinola dahil sa pinasuot nya kay MJ last year. Sa aminin man at hindi sabotage ang ginawa nya sa Pinas. Dhil kung nag top 5 si MJ may laban sana tyo. Anyway malapit na ang prelims at magkaka alaman na kung sino sino talaga ang strong.

      Good luck to queen P. For crown and country.

      Spread love mga sis!

  18. Vietnam is pretty. But hindi ung pang matagalan na tingin. she is charming, yes. nung una sabi ko siya ang malakas na makakalaban ni Pia. but habang patagal ng patagal, nawawala ang freshness niya.

    Kosovo is.. hmm same same. medyo disappointed ako sakanya. i was following her sa IG before and that was the year nung nanalo siya as miss kosovo. hanggang ngayon, yun at yun lang din ang expression ng mukha niya on her photoshoots hanggang ngayong MU. plus, pag hindi siya fully made up, ang layo ng itsura niya.

    I’d like to believe that Pia’s strongest na makakalaban niya for the crown USA or France.

    So far, my top 5: PH, USA, France, Brazil and hmm… venezuela or colombia.. 🙂

  19. mas ok pa pala magbasa ng comments kaysa mag comments ng top favorites mo or anything. hahaha. Angelo vs Norman’s Angels. hehe.

  20. We’ve had ‘bulaga’ candidates in the past few years. In 2013, it was Ecuador. In 2014, it was Netherlands. We can even say it was Angola in 2011 and USA in 2012. Who do you think will be the ‘bulaga’ kandidata in 2015 ? Somebody so few expected to even be in the semifinals but voila ended up in the top 5. I don’t want to pick one because this is kind of dangerous. Look at what Netherlands did to MJ. Frankly, I hated USA in top 5. It should have been MJ instead of USA. Keep Netherlands.

  21. OT mga Mars: Miss World fast tracks….
    Top 10 si Hilarie sa BWAP
    Top5 din sya sa Multimedia

    Parang malaki chance nya sa laban na ito.

    • wait lang, where did you get that update? the MW fb page hasn’t released the results for those categories….

      • @Joy, yes.it’s not. But so far ,wala namang pinopost na hoax ang page na ito joy

      • @joy,yes.it’s not. But so far wala pa namang pinopost na hoax ang page na ito. Sana true talaga ,malalaman natin yan maybe next day.

      • @Bechamel, sorry i can’t post the link,but if you can visit this page Pageant Talk Overload,it’s there.

    • ui san ang legit source? sino top 5 sa bwap? hopefully pati sa top model top 10 to top 5. then pag nangyari yan kahit wala award alin man dyan dapt kasale yan sa final cut. at pag wala Alam Na!

      • @Geoff, I am afraid di totoo ito kasi when I checked the MW page sa multimedia rank 7 si hilarie eh sabi sa post ng MW Organizatiin nasa top 5 , kainis naniwala agad me sa post heheh sobrang saya lang kasi ng nabasa ko yun na sinishare naman sa Pageant Talk Overload ng isang pageant enthusiast, but sana magkatotoo ang top 10.BWAP, as to the.Multimedia konti lang naman lamang ng 6 at 5 kaya pa yan sana umaabot sa cut off.

  22. My predictions-

    MU2015 -Pia , Philippines
    1st ru -France
    2nd ru -Vietnam
    3rd ru -Sweden
    4th 4u -Colombia

  23. Nice picks as always Tito Norms! I had a feeling tho that Georgia was kind of your type, was wrong lol. Still a better picks han most tho I can see Kosovo, Great Britain, Austrailia, DR, France, and ofc Ph. I want Ven to clap this year, def a downgrade from Migbelissimo last year.

  27. France is love. Pia is top five definitely! But I think Miss tanzania will make it too! give me some black beauty Norman

    • Not Tanzania! she looks like the sister of that Sudanese (??) actor who was with Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips; the one who declared, ‘I’m the captain now’

  28. My question is for whoever is going to watch Miss Universe LIVE in Planet Hollywood. Now, this will be my first time. Id like to know if it’s okay to bring a camera. I mean, I have no intention of using it during the pageant. It’s just an ordinary camera, not high-powered like dlsr and also what about cellphones with camera? Reason why i asked is, i just don’t want to go back to the hotel and leave the camera and comeback again to get it. such a hassle. Thanks

  29. Tito Norms – Bakit po di kasama Vietnam sa “shoo-ins” niyo? Just curious po for your opinion. Thanks!

  30. My top 5 for now…
    Philippines
    France
    USA

  31. I was watching Pia’s snapchat stories on the MU snapchat account. She’s so cute ang harot LOL! Nagkakaraoke si ateng! heheheheh add niyo yung account! Dali!!!! It’s MissUniverseOrg

  32. France
    India
    Vietnam
    Curacao
    Spain
    Mexico
    Australia
    USA
    Venezuela
    Philippines

    79 official candidates, the least in decades. ….

  38. This is my list, will surely change after the preliminaries:

    1. FRANCE
    2. PERU
    3. PHILIPPINES
    4. USA
    5. VENEZUELA

    6. COLOMBIA
    7. NETHERLANDS
    8. INDIA
    9. THAILAND
    10. VIETNAM

    11. DENMARK
    12. BRAZIL
    13. COSTA RICA
    14. GEORGIA
    15. KOSOVO
    16. ARGENTINA

    Go PHILIPPINES!

  39. I love your list Tito Norms! I have a feeling it’s going to be a repeat of MU 2011 pattern – with 2 Asians, 1 Latina, 1 European, and another one – in the top 5. My wish list will be Philippines, Vietnam, Colombia, France and USA or Australia for MU 2015. Pia is glowing everyday. I like that she seems calm and confident as opposed to the other selfie queens who are all over social media. Dec. 16 is very crucial. Now we will see who are real performers. Im not even so sure of Vietnam’s stage presence. Their 2013 delegate was stunning even more beautiful than this year but she looked lost on stage in Moscow. Good luck ladies and best of luck Pia!

  40. My list is almost the same, so instead I’d list my dark horses:

    1. Italy
    2. Belgium
    3. Kosovo
    4. Israel

    Ukraine seems weak this year, but let’s find out when the girls are already in motion.

  43. We have almost the same Top 15 (before the preliminary competition), but Great Britain and Portugal are not on my list s of the moment. Let’s see after the preliminaries, because that’s the time normally where I changed my mind on my Top 15 :).

  45. Sir Norms, sana this coming prelims. Maging interactive ka naman sa mga loyal supporters ng blog mo. Miss kana namin.

  46. I’m excited!! Hindi nalalayo choices ko sa picks mo Madam Norman.
    Kahit puyat from duty, papanuorin ko yan. 😄👀🙌🏼👸🏼🇵🇭🇵🇭

  47. OMG! This is it! Guys support n lng po tau ky Pia just like our other Queens! Best of luck Queen P! #Pianatics
