Subject: Miss Universe telecast Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 03:44:49 11/17/24 Sun Author Host/IP: syn-035-148-093-143.res.spectrum.com/35.148.93.143 With finding out, here on this message board, that the only channel that would air the 2024 Miss Universe pageant staged in Mexico City, Mexico, would be that of Spanish-language channel Telemundo, I suffered my way watching it with limited Spanish from grade-school. After the swimsuit competition, we saw a man in a tux speaking, and could barely understand something about "the legacy of the woman". Who was this man (and his title), and what was that all about, and did it include the women also being those few who are transgendered that are allowed to compete? And speaking of men, that Telemundo co-host Carlos Adyan is so cute, telegenic, and should host Miss Universe someday like Mario Lopez. But sorry girls, he is married, and gay on top of it. htt://www.instagram.com/carlosadyan/ http://voyagemia.com/interview/meet-carlos-adyan-telemundo-doral/ And it was nice to see Miss Universe 1978, Margaret Gardiner of South Africa as a judge, as she was the first woman to be crowned Miss Universe in Mexico when she won the title in Acapulco, Mexico on July 24, 1978. Just too bad Miss South Africa 2024, Mia le Roux dropped out, but did she watch the pageant or went home before last night's competition? And who was the contestant that was berated over being Nigerian (Miss Nigeria, who ended-up first runner-up this year)? See story: http://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg4dmd2vjjo Wonder just how bad Miss USA 2024, Alma Minerva Cooper of Michigan, did in the preliminary judging to not even make top 30 in the competition? And at least twice during the three-hour telecast (one time immediately after the swimsuit judging) there were promos for this Latina Miss Universe reality show in 2025. Any clue what that is and who can apply? Surely, I hope this is not the precursor test-run of some reality show in ten episodes or something like America's Got Talent or American Idol in selecting Miss Universe next year or in the future. If you know Spanish, here is the website they promoted: http://www.telemundo.com/ Was there not once a conversation of having the actual Miss America competition not be a one-night show, but a series of reality type competitions? That would be disastrous for sure. This was posted last night, about regions of the world awards, seems like a take-off of what Miss World does. Whats the need for it? http://www.voy.com/229344/15405.html#post And lastly, any reason why Miss Iran was named Miss Persia, which is an antiquated name for Iran? Was her country pageant known as Miss Persia Universe? http://www.farhorizons.com/when-was-persia-renamed-iran-and-why/ [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date The Miss Persia competition was organized by Iranians who live outside Iran. It was held elsewhere, as well. They suspected the Iranian government would put pressure on the MUO not to have a Miss Iran; so this group chose Miss Persia, the historic name of the country, instead. (NT) No name (syn-071-073-192-044.res.spectrum.com/71.73.192.44) 17:54:31 11/17/24 Sun Well the obvious question in reading your commentary, just where (what city and country) was this Miss Persia Universe contest held and where is the winner actually from? And it was interesting to learn that Miss Denmark who is now Miss Universe was not actually supposed to be in Mexico City to compete for Miss Universe, until the original winner for Denmark canceled out and runner-up Victoria assumed the representation of Denmark at Miss Universe. -- Her first runner-up Nigeria also was not to be in Mexico, but fled South Africa to win Miss Nigeria., 20:38:18 11/17/24 Sun (syn-097-095-094-190.res.spectrum.com/97.95.94.190) The Miss Persia organization is based in Italy. That's where the first national pageant was held, as well. https://misspersia.net/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Universe_2024 She is from Mashhad, Iran. Her family fled the country when she was a child. (NT) -- No name, 17:33:14 11/18/24 Mon (syn-071-073-192-044.res.spectrum.com/71.73.192.44)
