I was thinking the same thing - even my wife agreed w/ me.

Miss Australia has a cute face, but not gorgeous. I was rooting for Miss USA to win. Also I was surprised Miss India didn't make it to final 5. I thought she has a cute face too.

I thought Miss Australia was way hot! I wanted her to win.

Those others looked so fake. oh and there were way more hotter women than that Trinidad woman.

I think Miss USA would have gotten it had she not been laughing uncontrollably at the end.

And the tatas on Miss Australia...

i love how picky men can be watching beauty pageants.

I'm in the group that thought Australia ruled.

She just looked more natural, not so much makeup (i'm sure she had just as much, but it didn't APPEAR that way).

Plus when they showed her in the little video snippets, she just looked naturally beautiful, whereas the others were all dolled up.

I think Paraguay was easily 2nd also.

Yeah. I don't usually find blondes that attractive so I guess my picks are a little biased. I do however like the platinum blondes like Marilyn Monroe & Gwen Stefani. I think they're beautiful.

Out of the final five I have no idea how Trinidad Tobago & Paraquay finished 4th & 5th. Paraquay was easily the best out of those five & TT 2nd best.

I didn't watch it all, so I didn't see all the girls, but out of those final 15 I don't have a clue how Switzerland didn't make it. She looked absolutely gorgeous.

Australia's teeth's whiteness scared the crap out of me. It just looked so unnatural. I was thinking super-bleaching or veneers.

Pat - all of them had bleached teeth. At least Australia didn't have the pageant smile that USA and Puerto Rico had.

I didn't think Paraguay looked that dolled up in her video. She looked awesome even there.

Paraguay was the most naturally beautiful woman in the entire pageant. She was absolutely stunning.

Her teeth were not as white as Miss USA. USA had those "The Swan" teeth AKA too big for the face/blind me teeth

Australia reminded me of the Joe Millionaire 2 runner-up Kat.

I liked Miss Australia's walk during the swimsuit portion. She seemed very confident and natural.

Glad she won, although I thought she had a stupid final question (the "What time period would you have liekd to have been born in and what sex would you want to be?" one) but gave a pretty pat answer ("This century and a woman!"), which was safe.

If Miss America had expanded her answer to include something like "raising the next generation of leaders" she would have been better off.

Finally, I loved the way that Daisy ripped off in Spanish about how the first contrestant picked her own question and had to pick another one, then turned to the interpreter and apologized.

Whenever I see question and answer portions I always think of Miss Congeniality and the peace on earth gag.

pics?

I hardly recognized Daisy Fuentes (I only caught the final 7 minutes, just in time to announce the placement of the final 5 contestants).

Can somebody please post pics of Miss Paraguay?

Could not watch the show, because I had to go to work really early (5:30 am). Dammit!

This must be the highest somebody from Paraguay has finished in the Miss Universe pageant. Kind of make me proud since I used to lived there.

They look like the same friggin person.
