While no official announcement has been made by the Miss Universe Organization to date, the talks have already spread like wildfire in the global pageant community that the 69th Miss Universe will be hosted in Hollywood, Florida at the Seminole Hard Rock Café on May 16, 2021.
According to early reports, the Preliminaries will be held May 13 with the all-important Preliminary Interviews conducted via Zoom even before the candidates depart for the US.
Below is a video of the host venue courtesy of WPLG Local 10 in Florida:
Your thoughts, dear readers?
Prelims via zoom?
Won’t be surprised if Top 20 na lang will advance to Florida.
Less candidates. Less chances for infection 👏👏👏
@ Raf Preliminary INTERVIEW lang daw, po, ang virtual.
But, did you mean 2 say that the interview should be the SOLE criterion 4 who goes 2 the Final?
‘Eh, ‘di dapat pala nagsimula sa sila! Just for the sake of argument, naka-apply na for a USA VISA only to be excluded from the ‘Approved 20 to Proceed’. 😦
Oh wow preliminary interview via zoom??? At least they found a good looking resort to hold it in. Hopefully the Floridians will have gotten their acts together as it is one of the least restricted states in terms of following CDC guidelines. WOuld be nice to give the girls some time to enjoy the state!!!!
It is an incomplete guitar. He he. Nevertheless, it is iconic. I am excited about the finals.
Basing on the video, the place seems exciting. Even if I won’t go out of the venue, there are lots of things to do and have photoshoots. I am imagining the likes of 2009 and 2010 Miss Universe hotel pool pictorials. I am also imagining a pre-recorded opening number in the entrance of the hotel and infront of the Water column reminiscent of 1996 Miss Universe in Las Vegas. The theater is also big enough. Hope production value will be superb.

Prelims interviews via Zoom? No more, as @ Dandan said, need to “read the room”. 🙂
(Pakisabi kay ROM, wala dapat manok, aso, at tricycle sa eksena…)
It will also mean, in theory, fans can see in real-time who the judges are and the body language.
I shall still assume the NatCos showcase will be virtual.
Mayru’n pala’ng ‘Hollywood’ sa Florida… Parang Alaminos. May Pangasinan, may Laguna.
Senyor Tinio, in-process na ba USA VISA ni ROM? Sino sasama sa kanya? JG or Mdme. SSL?
Rabiya will have her appointment for US Visa soon. For sure, JG will be with her.
