SINCE A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL WRITE REVIEWS OF THE PAGEANT, I WILL DO BULLET POINTS ON WHAT I LIKE AND WHAT I WAS SAD IT DID NOT HAPPEN
plus points:
- the virtual pageant broke all stereotype in hosting a pageant. it was fun and entertaining. there were no hiccups in terms of disconnection because it is online. it is fast but not too rush. because it is virtual it managed to feature the delegates longer and more focused on them than the sponsors
- love the angel opening video. wished it was in alphabetical order but that's just me
- love the introduction in national costume - though some did not wear their costume - serbia, vietnam, paraguay are just some
- love the 20-8 format, all top 20 got to present in swimsuit and evening gown and did the hashtag talk. Though I wished they did a top 10 instead of 8 but that's just me as well
- iskandar provided the violin music for the swimsuit and evening gown - i love it
- loved that they award 4 eco video winners from each continent. there are so many deserving the award
- 4 africans placing in miss earth. this is the most number of african delegates placing in miss earth. even more than miss universe. for those who are saying miss earth is racist
- everyone deserves their placements - no question
- denmark placing again since 2001 - the longest gap broken. plus winning another elemental title
- kenya placing again since 2002
- cote d'ivoire and myanmar placing for the first time. both deserve their placement
- all elemental court of 2019 got to do their farewell speech. i guess this is one advantage of doing a virtual pageant.
- love the gowns the elemental court wore - each color represent their title.
- happy they awarded australia an eco-angel award. some say it is a consolation award because she did not place but she still deserve it because of her dedication
- love the we get to know who won first before the delegates, and we get to see their reaction when they realized they won.
- the 4 elemental queens deserve their titles
- venezuela and USA are the first 2 countries to capture 4 titles, though usa only inherited the title fire in 2016.
- USA won!!!!!
- USA's reaction was priceless
now for the things i wished it happened, the down points:
- because there are 4 africans placing, i feel they sacrificed 2 americas for this, but the top 20 still deserves it
- chile and argentina are my favorites to place, chile should be awarded the 'if only she was there' award
- during the past miss earth stories, there are no update photo or videos for winnie omwakwe miss earth 2002. i wonder what happened to her?
- no africans placed in the top 8, maybe if there is a top 10? nigeria and thailand could have placed? we will never know
- no bosnia/herzegovina, montenegro, serbia in angel costume, then no bosnia and montenegro in national costume
- mexico and italy broke their even number streak
- colombia clapped after consistently placing since 2014, but then again, their rep is not very competitive.
