| Subject: I get it, and you're absolutely right. Winning is of utmost importance here. I'm merely questioning if sending our girls to Latin America for training and polishing is necessary. I dunno, maybe it's cheaper to get everything done down there? Whatever the reason is, it's not necessarily more effective. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the last 7 years (8 this year) that MUC has held the MU franchise, they've produced 1 winner (2005) and 2 semifinalists (2003, 2006). The Canadian Search for Miss Universe (CSMU), on the other hand, for 8 years between 1995 and 2002, produced 2 finalists (1995, 2000) and 1 semifinalist (2002). All 3 girls in the latter group were prepared locally. Take MWC as an example, as well.... (More inside) |

's message, "I really don't think the organizers of MUC feel that it has anything to do with 'Canada' to them it has everything to do with winning the crown, no matter what it takes. Typically latin american countries have more 'wins' and have more coaches, training, etc. I agree, there are services in Canada but ultimatley its not about Canada as much as it is about the crown. MUC doesnt promise any Canadian content, the titleholders do more appearances in other countries than in Canada and after the MU they pretty much are invisible. Is it right or fair? Who is to say....everyone in Canada will still be cheering for 'Miss Canada' come MU Maybe if Canada as a country sponsored teh pageant or gave funding to the winner like a lot of the other countries they would utilize more of Canada's resources but for now, as long as MUC is MUC we will continue to see this pattern....but at least we have winners, finalists and semi-finalists, more so than we have ever had with any other organization." on 20:47:35 07/21/10 Wed
... I know that MU and MW are totally different systems, but consider that between 2003 and 2009 (in 7 years prior to the current franchise holders' tenure), they produced 1 finalist (2003) and 3 semifinalists (2005, 2006 and 2009*). That's 4/7. All girls were also prepared locally. Heck, even Miss Earth Canada has produced a winner! All I'm just saying is that Canada has the resources. Canada has the beauty! Canada has the growing interest. Canada CAN! So far, Elena's "transformation" has been underwhelming compared to the other delegates. And she's a total knockout! In the fashion show she did in Venezuela, the styling aged her and was completely inappropriate. In her Colombia video, she's OK at best. Bottom line, DON'T FIX IT IF IT AIN'T BROKE! I saw her at MUC finals, and if anything they need to work on her communication skills, let her come out of her shell some more. Canadian misses have always been known for their eloquence, intelligence and forward thinking. THIS is the trend of WINNERS I'd like to see going.
