Miss Universe 2016 Predictions: Back-To-Back Win Reportedly Impossible After Maxine Medina’s Grammar Lapses; Philippines, Colombia, Brazil, Thailand, Argentina Might Complete Top 5
Millions of pageant fans are now excited for the upcoming coronation night of the Miss Universe 2016. Predictions on what might happen during the grand event have been spreading like wildfire for weeks now.
More or less 86 women from different parts of the globe have come together for the Miss Universe 2016. Though it has only been days since these gorgeous women landed the Philippines, avid fans of the prestigious pageant already have their picks as to who should become the heirs of the Miss Universe crown.
Missosology has released its fourth official hot picks for this year's pageant. Among the few girls you are likely to take home the Miss Universe 2016 title include Miss Universe Colombia Jealisse Andrea Tovar Velasquez, Miss Universe Philippines Maxine Medina, Miss Argentina Estefania Bernal, Miss Brazil Raissa Santana and Miss Thailand Chalita Suansane.
Other contestants predicted to join the Miss Universe 2016 Top 15 include candidates from Indonesia, Mexico, Australia, Panama, Netherlands, Japan, Ukraine, U.S. Virgin Islands, Vietnam, and USA. There have been claims that, just like Pia Wurtzbach and Ariadna Gutierrez, Andrea Tovar and Maxine Medina could possibly be in the same position last year.
Speculations have it that both Miss Colombia Andrea Tovar and Miss Philippines Maxine Medina have been leading online polls and picks even before the Miss Universe 2016 officially started. Though being considered as a big threat to all other 85 candidates, Miss Philippines Universe has admitted she is not comfortable with her public speaking skills.
As a matter of fact, Maxine Medina had drawn flak lately after the controversial interview with CNN Philippines' Pinky Webb where the beauty queen had minor grammatical faux pas. Several social media users have reacted to the interview and started doubting her capacity to hitch the crown again for a back-to-back win in the upcoming Miss Universe 2016.
However, the language trainer Mark Arthur Payumo Abalos was quick to defend Maxine Medina and stated that Miss Universe 2016 is a beauty contest and an oratorical competition. "Maxine has improved a lot. She is hardworking and she's doing her best to become a better version of herself," he wrote on Instagram, as reported by ABS-CBN News.
Miss Universe 2016 coronation night is set to happen on January 30 at the Mall of Asia. Stay tuned to Korea Portal for the latest news and updates about the upcoming Miss Universe 2016!
