Our 10th Hot Picks for Miss Universe 2008

Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza ruled both the gown and swimsuit segment. She’s Queen Dayana no doubt about that. No wonder she’s in high spirits during the post-prelim press-con. Miss Mexico Elisa Najera has also a strong potential to win the crown but if you compare her to Dayana she’s a wee bit a step behind. Miss Colombia Taliana Vargas has some magic but there are critics who are not happy with her performance.

Miss India Simran Kaur Mundi is a delight to talk with. She’s approachable and she got a towering figure. She did well in the prelims using her statuesque figure as her advantage.

There is something about Miss Panama Carolina Dementiev that can bring light to a dark room. She’s jolly and she’s got a vibrant personality that clearly showed off during the preliminaries. She should score well at the interviews.

Miss Spain Claudia Moro did perform well at the preliminaries propelling her to the sixth position. Miss USA Crystle Stewart and Miss South Africa Tansey Coetzee were both powerful in their performance.

Miss Brazil Natalia Anderle shone also at the prelim night. She exceeded our expectations! Miss Norway Mariann Birkedal and Miss Australia Laura Dundovic are always in my suspicions list and they did a good job during the prelims. Miss Kosovo Zana Krasniqi drew mixed emotions among the critics but she’s okay and I guess being a Miss Universe first-timer, a top 15 place is just apt.

Miss Thailand Gavintra Phothijak, our People’s Choice Award winner, did surprise us as well. She did best at the gown competition.

Miss Belgium Alizee Coetzee did not really deliver a powerful performance in gown and swimsuits but she’s a top 15 material given her beautiful face and great attitude.

Miss Puerto Rico Ingrid Rivera, sad to say slipped into the last position. She herself seems to be not so convinced about her performance. It is possible that she might not be at the top 15 at all!
