Now we are focusing on Mariann Birkedal of Norway. Mariann was a heavy favorite to win Miss World 2010 in China but at the same time The 2010 Nobel Peace Prize Award was awarded to a Chinese dissent named Liu Xiao Bo which the members of the committee came from Norway.
During the Miss World 2010 finals, Mariann made the first cut because of her Top Model fast track win and made it to the Final 7. When she was eliminated after the announcement of Final 5, the Nobel Peace Prize controversy started to link her loss at Miss World. Some netizens speculated that her elimination from the crown was a form of retaliation from the Chinese judges' against the awarding of Xiao Bo as the Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Since her loss, no Norwegian beauties made the first cut.
Do you think the Nobel Peace Prize controversy was the reason why Mariann lost the crown to Alexandra Mills of United States? If was not Nobel Peace Prize controversy, why do you think she fell short of winning the crown?
