During the Miss Universe 1969, Gloria Diaz was not the tallest, and prettiest and her answer was not best but she manages to win. So, I guess, she's right that it is 99% luck... in her case.
As for Zozibini, she made her mark during the preliminaries. And the moment she open her mouth during the statement round, that's when she sealed the title for South Africa. It was a clean win. It just that no one saw it coming. She peaked at the right moment.
She may not be the prettiest, but she's the one who shines the brightest.

One of the factors are the set of judges given the task. So is it right to say the LUCK factor was there because there were 2 black judges? Not to forget the 1st and 2nd RU are Latinas if we count the Latin judges.

If verified to be the case, meaning, that the judges favored their own when all factors were not weighted equally the same.

Yes, she's smart but that should not be the the only basis and just one of the criteria. Is MUO really heading in this direction of brains over physical beauty or it's just pure 'LUCK?" Is there truth to what 1969 Ms Universe Gloria Diaz said that winning Miss Universe is 99% pure luck?
To qoute her, “Everybody has things to say but like I’ve always said, first of all you will not be there if you’re not beautiful, if you’re not smart, if you’re not tall or pretty. But I’ve told this over and over. It’s 99% luck. Everybody has an opinion why she did not win, whether the answer was good enough or not good enough. To some people it was smart, to some people it was kulang (not enough). But really it’s just luck at the end of the day,” she said.
Do you believe her?

look at ate leila, she won despite many things.
look at pasay, prepared, faked and hyped and still did not make it.
Pia despite being announced as Ru but the true winner.
It's really luck!

bad luck? unless one is absolutely, positively deathly ill on competition day, there's no reason to choke to death and fail every tasks if you've been preparing to start with.
good luck? unless one sold their soul to the devil, there's no gift to magically transform into this golden girl with the midas touch if you haven't been preparing to start with.

Let's see next year if the offer from Miss Universe Organization will still stand for her. She could have eliminated one Latina or African judge from the selection committee and placing one Asian contestant to the Top 3 with Gazinni since Riyo Mori was there. Riyo's vote didn't matter to put one Asian because she was alone. On the same hand, one American judge couldn't place a North American contestant to the Top 3 because she was also alone. It was the connivance of 2 Latinas and 3 African judges to put Latina and African contestant in the Top 3. Eventually, Miss South Africa won because at least all 3 African judges voted for her as the winner. While the 2 Latina judges were split to vote for Miss Mexico and Miss Puerto Rico.

It was NOT luck. Didn’t we all know from the get-go that it was going to be a black woman?
The US media is now going gaga about the all-black court for this year: Teen USA, USA, America, and Universe. EXACTLY what the plan was!
