The 84 Environmental Heroines of Miss Earth 2017

It has been a long and fulfilling month’s journey for the Environmental Heroines of Miss Earth 2017. As of the final headcount during the Press Presentation held last Monday, eighty-four (84) delegates remain in contention for this year’s crown. At the end of the Finals this coming Saturday, four of them will be wearing the elemental crowns and only one among the four will reign supreme as the best of the best.

Here now is a Fearless Forecast with my Top 16 presented in four (4) quadrants – in reverse order – starting with the 13th-16th all the way (scrolling) down to 1st to 4th:

My 13th to 16th: Puerto Rico, Australia, Indonesia and Vietnam

My 9th to 12th – Panama, Brazil, Guatemala and Czech Republic

My 5th to 8th – USA, Netherlands, Philippines and Austria

My Elemental Queens for 2017: Thailand (Earth), Venezuela (Air), Colombia (Water) and Ecuador (Fire)

In my rankings from top to bottom now:

Since Day 1, Thailand’s Paweensuda “Fahsai” Drouin has proven that the Miss Earth 2017 crown is hers to lose. So it was really up to her on how to sustain the momentum and carry the torch all the way to the homestretch. While there were a few small bumps and hiccups along the way, she really managed to convert even the initial non-believers with her gift of gab and an impressive way of articulating her thoughts for the environment while making every word that comes of her mouth worth listening to. She is definitely a good spokesperson, in addition to a statuesque height, beautiful face and all-around engaging personality. A very credible Public Relations representative, if I may add. She nailed the Beauty of Intelligence Prejudging, and that could be the best proof of her qualifications for the job.

The three other ladies in the Elemental Court are not to be taken for granted as well. But individually, there are still missing factors that could make them topple the impressive showing of the Thai delegate. Among the three, Juliana Franco of Colombia speaks English the best, followed in limited quantity by Ninoska Vasquez of Venezuela and Lessie Giller of Ecuador with a more limited supply. But their individual beauty and charm are undeniable. Juliana has the regal bearing, Ninoska the Goddess-like appeal and Lessie the youthful joie-de-vivre. They should provide excellent support to Fahsai should my predictions prove accurate.

Potential spoilers, in my opinion, could come from the second quadrant with Andreia Gibau of the USA and Faith Landman of the Netherlands threatening to steal the limelight from one of my Top 4. They also have the right qualities for the victory but have not peaked strongly enough. The Top 8 Q&A is their source of strength going into the Final round, just as this is also the elbow room Karen Ibasco of the Philippines needs to squeeze into the crowned spots. Bianca Kronsteiner of Austria can also rely on her good speaking ability and a beautiful face to save the day for her bid.

As far as the 9th to 16th placers in my list are concerned, there are a few hidden gems who can move up if the breaks work in their favor, such as Erika Parker of Panama, Maria Jose Castañeda of Guatemala and Karla Aponte of Puerto Rico. Will one of them prove successful by a long shot come Saturday night? That we’ll have to see.

  1. in fairness to miss karen ibasco, she nailed the final q&a. thus she deserves to win.

  2. no thailand and venezuela in top 4. i can feel the bashing for miss earth’s credibility will start pouring in.

  3. Winner- Thailand
    Top 7 for Runners up
    Panama, USA, Colombia, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Netherlands

  5. Por Dios Santo, magkaroon naman sana po ngayon ng mga magagaling at competent interpreter ang Miss Earth. Utang na loob!

  6. I can predict the elemental court will be between Thailand, Philippines, Venezuela, Colombia.

  7. When karen enters the top8, no doubt that she’ll clinch an elemental crown. Makuda si ate, maalam sa envi problems, so a col-ven-phil trio is very possible.

  8. Thailand has the highest chance of winning but there’s still that slim chance for an upset…a lot of girls are so eager to win…I think once the top 16 are called it’s a whole new ball game and all the semi finalists will give their all…I see atleast 5 girls in contention : Thailand, Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Philippines…and there were equally worthy girls like Russia, USA, Guatemala, Panama, Angola, Pakistan, USVI, Belgium…there are a lot of choices for the judges…no clear or run away stand out which is a good thing because it shows the quality of this year’s delegates are superb

  9. NASA Pinas din pala Yung ND ng Mexico at may picture Sila ni Lorraine din. FYI.

    Ooops! Baka may gumawa nanaman ng intriga!

  10. Final! I want one Asian, one Latina (but not Ecuador, Brasiw, Colombia, or Vene), and TWO (2) Europeans for the 2017 Elemental Court.

  11. I also think it’s Thailand’s crown to lose hihi englishan hihi in fer sa kanya mga mars – complete package. eh di siya na hihi

  13. Nakaka umay yang Venezuela-Colombia-Ecuador na naman sa Top4??? At sabi na eh Brazil pasok na naman kahit pangit every year tan nakakapasok. Wala na bang iba??? Paul it ulit. Ma’s gusto KO pa manalo so Karen kesa Paulit ulit na mga Latina sa Top4.

  15. Tito norman bakit po 84? Di ba 86 sila? May nag back out ba? Kc di ba originally 87 sila then nawala c south africa, bkit 84?tia

  16. We have the same top 3 Tito Norms, Thailand – Venezuela and Colombia. Not that sure yet with Ecuador.. My alternates are: Puerto Rico (gosh, super beautiful!!), USA and Philippines. Hindi ako biased or favoritism with Karen.. admit it she’s a strong contender for one of the elemental crowns – not the top title. 🙂

  18. I’d love USA to win.
    Ecuador can do a back to back
    Thailand is fine too
    Panama is beautiful
    Netherlands is pretty
    Russia too

    • Jeremi
      I don’t mind black
      But she has to be pleasantly beautiful
      She’s a little to muscular for my taste

    • Fabulous Fabie dahlinnn I always hear the words “pleasant beauty” from you
      Can you please tell me the distinction between a pleasant and an unpleasant one when it comes to beauty?

      • Jeremi, am I the only one that uses the word pleasant ?
        A pleasant beauty for me is someone with a sweet feminine charm like Charlene G Mutya Megan Pia Bea and yes Catriona . Tse hihihi

  19. Thank you for including the most beautyfull girl in your predictions #MissEarthGuatemala

  20. Panama looks like Rihanna in that pic….Sultry… Thailand-Ecuador (love her fezlak)…

  21. my bets: (ranked)

    Netherlands, Vietnam, Puerto Rico, Panama, Philippines, Austria, Thailand, Venezuela, Pakistan, Peru

  25. Ohhh😄 we have the same Tough 4 Momma N hihihi except Ecuador but I understand bcoz you don’t want to be bashed if you include Karen in Top 4😊
    Am I right hihihi 😗
    I include Karen bcoz she will nail the Q&A from Top 8 to Tough 4😃
