seriously i am now experiencing post pageant depression, after the wonderful and full of roller coaster ride emotions of miss earth 2017, its like i am longing for more miss earth ! i know there are currently ongoing pageants being staged, sadly even if you combine the activities of these three other pageants, it cannot hold a candle to the kind of activities the miss earth 2017 candidates went through. truly miss earth 2017 will be the pageant of the year, from the unparralleled activities, to the most beautiful and pleasant contestants, to the excitement it provided trending on social media everyday for one whole month, and of course the breathtaking pageant night which to me will be unbeatable in terms of production and enteratinment value. if i can , i would repeat the miss earth 2017 all over again , just to live out and experience pageantry at its very best.
miss earth candidates during the pageant makes real changes and actual work which inspires the communities they vist . no other pageant can make you feel more loved, more admired and you truly feel that you are a queen who is respected and revered. here is a small snippet of what it is the miss earth queens do , and the priceless experience as well as the invaluable inspirationand happiness miss earth queens bring to the people they are very fortunate to meet during the pageant. this made me so emotional , no other pageant in existence can tug you in the heart like miss earth does.
now i know you are waiting for some juicy behind the scenes of the pageant, well i have quite a lot! let us talk about the scores,the over all top scorer for the preliminary rounds which includes beauty of face and poise, figure and form, intelligence and environmental knowledge, plus the attitude, is none other than miss australia nina robertson.
nina is such a breath of fresh air, like everytime you see her its like a ray of sunshine envelops the area. the top scorer for figure and form is miss usa andreia gibau, which is definitely no surprise. andreia has curves in all the right places, lean where it needs to be lean, and slim where it needs to be slim.body is like well perfected sculpture of what everyone sees ideal and sexy.
the top scorer for beauty of face and poise is miss russia lada akimova, which to me made sense from the very start. i have been saying very early on lada has the most beautiful face of all the girls in the competition.she has such a baby doll face , soft features yet very remarkable, im glad the judges saw that even though she was not a favorite and ignored by most fans during the whole pageant. i knew she will place and get one of the crowns.
now for the intelligence and environmental knowledge, it was miss philippines karen ibasco who topped this round. this is karen's strongest point her intellect, dedication, passion and determination is what sets her apart from everyone else.
in the end karen took over the competition and used her greates weapon , trampling all the goddesses that everyone was cheering for. karen placed 4th overall in the preliminaries, she placed 1st for intelligence, 2nd in figure and form and 18th in beauty of face.
miss earth 2017 is the best pageant of 2017, no other pageant will beat its activities, excitement and of course its breathtaking final night which till the very end kept everyone in tight excitement and socail media exploded after philippines won, it was the top trending topic for days even if the pageant was already done. when miss earth was done, pageantry excitement went downhill even with three of the other big 4 were ongoing.because of the unbelievable success of miss earth 2017 pageant many franchises are contacting carousel productions to send a contestant next year. just to clarify, miss universe thailand was the one who was in contact with carousel and adisorn was a partner only, but actual negotialtions was done by miss universe thailand org . for 2018 another company has already contacted carousel productions to stage an exclusive pageant in thailand for miss earth and will be televised on thailand's most popular channel. another country who has not sent a candidate for years , has requested to start the process of getting the franchise again after they saw how impressive the pageant was for 2017. several euorpean countries and pacific islands have also expressed to come back for 2018.
new , bigger , stronger partnerships are being formed after the miss earth 2017 show was done, many inquiries were made in fact miss earth is the only pageant where the four winners already have international trips line up a week after they were crowned, isnt that amazing? miss earth executives and winners are currently in cambodia for a tour of the country and their ecotourism sites. be very excited earthlings, our efforts to remain strong and never let go of miss earth is paying very big big time.
miss earth 2017 happened, a lot of people may not agree with the decision , but one thing we can agree is that miss earth organization delivered a spectacular show full of excitement, entertainment, music ,emotions and competition in full gear. i will say now, the pageant of the year will definitely be miss earth 2017, i dont think any other pageant can top the quality of activites the girls had, the transparency and innovation of the preliminary events and of course truly the best pageant night production i have seen in any pageant. it was magnificent and phenomenal in every sense. even the reaction after the winners were announced is something the pageant world has never seen. the uproar is out of this world, you know why because miss earth matters and everyone was touched by the results be it the positive or negative way, miss earth affects because it is relevant and it is significant.
over 50 million people watched the show from the livestream ,to the live broadcast in different channels covering the whole world, miss earth truly has become a force to reckon with and will be here to stay.i myself do not agree with the results but , it was already decided by the judges and the winners are chosen. we just have to learn to find ways to accept it , even if it is hard because this was scored , audited by a reputable accounting firm. no manipulation whatsoever was done by carousel productions , so you will be rest assured there was no under the table dealings here.
it was a glittering show , full of frenzy, drama and the best opening number ever. my jaw dropped at how fast paced and so very well carried out the sequences were from the dazzling lighting, the spectacular stage and the perfect execution of the unique concepts. i didnt think it will work at first but wow, i was astounded at how fluid and well executed each portion of the show was done. carousel productions really upped the production and i dont think any other pageant can beat it this year.
oh the opening, just completely wow, i am totally fascinated and mesmerized . starting with the elements and then miss earth 2016 entering and performing, to the girls introducing their heroine names in heroine costumes, to their dance routine, i cant get enough of it. i love it so much i keep rewatching it, this really was a great production.this is the best opening number ever in any pageant! the host james deakin was an excellent host, he was very efficient, his voice very solid and authoritative that really highlighted all the energy throughout the show. the announcement of the top 16 in all three official prelimnary events was another innovation that was a certified topnotch idea. this made so many girls get recognition and also gives the worldwide audience a chance to see who did very well and have a big chance of making the top 16. i personally would like this tradition to be continued every year and the candidates would appreciate it so much as well as their families ,fans and directors.
the top 16 was announced in two segments with the girls directly going into the evening gown competitions being scored in order to decide who makes the top 8. remember in the previous entry i mentioned that the continental placement was going to be scarpped this year? well that was the initial plan, but after the results came out the miss earth organization decided to revert back to continental placement in order to be more inclusive since environmental protection should cover the whole world. the original top 16 without the continental placements were dominated by two continents only , so miss earth decided to revert back into full continental placement for 2017, in order to include every continent in the celebration of our mother earth.i love the music in this segment and the girls really upped the perormance onstage and were out to really conquer the hearts of the judges as well as the crowd and people watching.
the music in the swimsuit competition signalled the battle that was about to happen onstage. dont you love the way the girls came out in fours and just burned that stage like tomorrow is never coming? it was all out hair flipping, hip swaying, sexiness and hotness overflowing. like it was a real battle for the heroine that is going to rule that stage, i was like go girls!!! at this point russia has totally blown me over, i mean that innocent face could actually hit it out and battle it out with the fiercest catwalk divas onstage.you would think she was this shy innocent girl, but damn she totally annihilated some frontrunners on that stage with her baby girl charm and such steamy moves.let me tell you some insider info i gathered, apparently the carousel bosses thought thailand was going to be the winner since everyone loved her and they already observed her during the activities and thought that she can be a good representative of the organization, but on the final night the bosses thought her performances were weak onstage. "mahina ang stage presence" , so it was not just her answer that actually made her not qualify , it was her overall performance onstage as well.venezuela for some reason did not shine last saturday, maybe her styling? her hair covered most of her beautiful face ,her stiff gown did not help and she seemed to look like she is struggling to walk. i really dont know what happened, she was super beautiful the whole 4 weeks then on final night she was blah.venezuela was my bet to win , but for some reason i was underwhelmed with her performance.for those who are wondering there were actually two rounds of judging to choose the top 4. it was not purely based on the hashtag questions, but when the top 8 was announced the girls were scored when they strutted to the center and walked in their swimsuits.
this is the part that sealed the deal for who will win miss earth 2017, the frontrunners totally fizzled out and gave karen ibasco an easy victory. the three girls who were supposed to stop philippines from winning did not deliver so the inevitable happened. this was the part thailand could have claimed the crown ,she could have stomped her authority and made it hers, she didnt. i am like come on girls fight for it,make it difficult for karen, it didnt happen, which made me so sad because at this point i already knew the one thing everyone feared will happen , will definitely happen.
so it did, at this point philippines was unstoppable, as she is well trained and is a very smart ,confident intelligent woman. like i pointed out in previous posts, according to carousel, the moment karen ibasco screened and got interviewed to be a candidate for miss philippines earth, at that point they already had a feeling she will win miss earth 2017, something they did not feel about the other three filipina queens who won miss earth previously. that is how impressive this woman is in person and in interview, so unless you will stop her by outperforming her, then she will win.the beauty of karen ibasco comes out the moment she talks , her passion for the cause and knowledge.
now that the winners are chosen, we need not stress because carousel productions is confident that they chose the best ambassador for their brand . they know that she will be the one who will best forward their causes and their agenda.even if the whole world is against it, they know what they wanted and to them they got the best one out of the bunch that could speak for them and represent them in the finest way possible.they gave a chance to everyone to prove them wrong and look somewhere else, but all the ones who they thought would do it for them fizzeld out, so they had no choice but to crown who ultimately rose up and performed the best, since this is still a competition and they just cannot give the crown away even if the performance was not good enough. i dont agree with it, but i choose to respect it and hopefully carousel made the right decision, as they are the ones who will eventually deal with the backlash and repercussions.
now for some tidbits, steven seagal was supposed to be a judge that night, he was unable to fly on time that night as he was in bangkok ,thailand. the flight was delayed but his wife and son were present during the coronation night. and what do you know our queens already have international trips lined up for them, next few weeks all four ladies will travel to cambodia for promotions as well as environmental activities. after cambodia they will possibly travel to bali, indonesia as well. see they are already off to a great start.
i was wondering why there was a sense of excitement despite the backlash from the victory of karen, then i learned something that you earthlings will be very excited about. apparently there will be a major partnership that will happen very soon with a huge, i mean huge company. carousel already gave us a glimpse of what is to come by coming up with a superb production, so as what tita lorraine schuck said" hold on tight" earthlings.
