Subject: Miss World heats up come to an end Author: Dublin [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:46:08 12/01/04 Wed The final week of Miss World 2004 is here; and the 107 delegates have been rehearsing the show so everything turns out perfect. The initial count of 112 was reduced when the contestants of Uruguay, Mozambique and Northern Marianas did not arrive for undisclosed reasons; then Miss Austria (Sylvia Hackl) left the pageant after 10 days in China. Miss Egypt and Miss Vietnam were the last ones to arrive. Miss Austria, Sylvia Hackl, during the 'Beach Beauty' competition, carried voting number #505. She left the pageant a week ago. An Austrian paper informed that the airline lost her luggage and she could not get any help recovering it or getting a new wardrobe, so she decided to fly back home. Sohu The "You Decide" special was shown this weekend in over 50 countries, which had the opportunity to meet the delegates up-close. The event was hosted by Troy McLain during the "World Beach Party". All delegates spoke in English (after being carefully guided by the producers) and told anecdotes about them and their country; while telling the audience why they should vote for them. This year, there have been a lot of changes in the Miss World itinerary since the delegates arrived to Sanya. The trip to Beijing, as well as a tour of China, had to be cancelled; the You Decide special was supposed to take place at the Miss World Theatre, and it had been announced that the Scholarship winner would 'fast track' into the finals, but there were some surprises planned. This year there will be Top 15 semifinalists (unlike 2002 and 2003, where they had 20). Five of them are the winners of the 'fast-track' events, which are: -Beach Beauty -Most Talented -Miss Sport -Top Fashion Model -Contestants' Choice for Miss World Yes, you read right, the fifth fast-track position will go to that delegate whose fellow contestants believe would make the perfect Miss World. We wonder if the delegates were allowed to vote for themselves. The winner of the 'Contestants' Choice Award' will be announced during the telecast on December 4th. The remaining Top 10 semifinalists will be the contestants with the highest number of points after the voting is closed. It's not clear if the winner of Miss World will be selected with the votes counted before, or during the final telecast. Details will follow.
