Agree with poster above they should have just used last year MW shaped throne. Never thought we will question a Miss World throne and the sash rather than the main result.
LOL at New Zealand gets the continental award of Oceania that's why the continental system to select the Top 12 is BULLSHIT! They sacrificed one girl from Asia for New Zealand in Top 12 (although she is ok). 10 girls from Asia, 2 from Oceania
From my understanding, they don't intend to announce the runners-up at all. The rest of Top 5 including Panama and New Zealand are all winners for each continent. The winners are 1 Miss World and 6 Miss World Continental Queens = 7 of them.
Thailand gets her moment as runner-up probably due to she won the global votes.
I think MW did not announce the other placement in purpose to allude that the Continental Queens are all equals. Exception must be made for the girl in second place to be announced as the Runner Up to make it clear, in case the winner cannot fulfill her duties, who will be the replacement.
You're right on that. I forget that the runner-up plays a huge part if Miss World resigned or dethroned. It makes sense now.
