Close fight at the Big5 Ranking before MU and MW

December 8, 2021

14129

Comparatively speaking, 2020 may have been a dull year for international pageantry. 2021, on the other hand, is turning out to be an exciting year as we see some significant changes in the Big5 Ranking. The battle for third place between Philippines and Brazil is just one of them!

Since the inception of the Big5 Ranking in 2011, the Top3 spot was basically unchanged. USA, Venezuela and Brazil had consistently occupied that spot. Well, not until last summer when the Philippines took over the third position after the Miss Supranational 2021 results were counted in. When the Miss Earth 2021 scores were also added up last month, the Philippines has widened its lead against Brazil, but it is still in a fragile position. The results of the 70th editions of Miss Universe and Miss World will be the deciding factor.

After the Miss Earth 2021 results were tallied, Belize (108th) became the biggest gainer when it went nine ranks up. They are followed by Botswana (102nd) which gained five ranks up. Indonesia‘s first ever placement at Miss Earth had put the world’s largest archipelago three ranks up into the 45th spot, their biggest gain since 2016. Like Indonesia, Africa’s largest country, Nigeria (61st), also gained three ranks up. Meanwhile, Czech Republic got kicked out of the Top 40 by Chile after the latter won the Miss Earth Water 2021 title.

Next week, two of the most world’s most anticipated pageant events will commence. Miss Universe will choose its winner on December 12th in Israel. On December 16th, Puerto Rico will host the crowning of the 70th Miss World. Together with the scores from Miss Supranational and Miss Earth, we shall determine the 2021 Performer of the Year!
