." Kriistina states on her webiste.As a small nation representative, I wasn’t supposed to be in the front row during the opening number. I remember when Scott put in the beginning of the triangle and the other girls were lined after me. All the girls started to talk and I felt that they wanted to eat me at the spot. There were some other similar situations – as a small nation representative I created too much attention and the must-be-final girls started to gossip about me
Kriistina also tells that she is still keeping sporadic contact with Miss Curacao and Miss Colombia.
