The 2011 Miss Universe Pageant Thread -- 9/12/11 on NBC

Tonight at 9pm on NBC. Anyone here going to watch? Figured a beauty pageant would be worth starting a thread for.

Here are your international hotties:

So guys, take your pick, this, Hell's Kitchen or Monday Night Football at 9pm.


Natalie Morales (NBC's "Today") and Andy Cohen (BRAVO's "What What Happens: Live") will co-host the 2011 MISS UNIVERSE Pageant live from Credicard Hall in Sao Paulo, Brazil on September 12 (9 p.m. ET) on NBC. The two-hour television event (a live Spanish simulcast will air on Telemundo), comprised of contestants representing approximately 90 countries around the world, will compete in three categories: swimsuit, evening gown and interview. Miss Universe 2010 Ximena Navarrete of Mexico will crown her successor at the conclusion of the telecast.

Miss Universe contestant reminded to wear underwear while in public: Report

DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Miss Colombia 2011, Catalina Robayo is in trouble for not wearing underwear to public appearances.

A Miss Universe contestant is in trouble with pageant officials for showing up at events without underwear.

Contest bigwigs have warned Colombia's Catalina Robayo to stop making appearances in tiny skirts with nothing on underneath.

UNDERWEAR IS NOT OUTERWEAR

"Colombia had to be spoken to and told she needed to wear underpants as what she was doing was totally inappropriate," a source told Fox News. "People have been pretty upset by it; there have been photos and media appearances where she has completely had her crotch out."

Robayo is one of 89 women competing for the crown in the contest.

The glitzy pageant, one of the jewels in Donald Trump's crown, airs Monday night, Sept. 12.

The gorgeous brunette won't be the only queen caught in an embarrassing situation.

Carrie Prejean, the 2009 Miss California and Miss USA runner-up, faced public humiliation when her semi-nude photographs were released online shortly after she won the state pageant crown.

In 2006, the Miss USA winner Tara Conner entered rehab after she struggled with drugs and alcohol while she held the crown.

Trump refused to fire either one for those incidents.

"I've always been a believer in second chances," he said at a press conference. "Tara is a good person. Tara tries hard."

Like the other scandal-fallen ladies of Trump's pageants, Robayo could be a boon to business, Fox pointed out.

"Our supervisors talked to all of the contestants about dressing appropriately, and one of our PR people spoke to [Robayo] and apparently she said she was wearing underwear," Miss Universe President Paula Shugart said. "But regardless, it created quite a stir here for a few days."

What? Noone watched. For a forum with mostly guys that's unbelievable.

Well in case anyone cares, Miss Angola won

Edit: Yeah I know, Monday Night Football is on along with Hell's Kitchen and a bunch of scripted shows on TNT and SyFy so I don't blame anyone for passing.

Where is the poll on this thread? And why isn't there a "None" option?

Angola looked too timid and reserved when strutting around.

From the start, Costa Rica was my favorite (made the final-10...I was shocked when she didn't make the final cut). Then Philippines and Venezuela.

Seemed kind of rigged to me: you had the host nation (who wasn't that pretty IMO), an Asian, an African, a Latina, etc....seemed like they were trying to spread it around.

If there were only 3 channels and one of them featured
a stereotypical British guy yelling at people in a kitchen
a bunch of roided up guys in tights patting each other on the bum
18-27 yo women who will eventually be in bikinis

I think the Miss Universe thingy would be a better default.

That has been true of pageants now for at least ten years.

Yeah, but it seemed even moreso with this one.

Also, does Trump still own Miss USA and Miss Universe? I heard no references to him in either.
