Yup. Nowadays, if someone loses, some people will always cry foul or claim a conspiracy theory... So much for losing gracefully.

controversy never gets out of the picture... that's the truth about reality...

anyway.... it's a year ago,, let's just don't talk about it

Recently-crowned Miss Universe Mori Riyo (20) has been in the media spotlight since her return to Japan. She arrived at Narita Airport the day before yesterday and was greeted by dozens of reporters. Yesterday, 11 TV cameras and 150 reporters turned out at her press conference at a Tokyo hotel. She wore a black and white dress and a diamond and pearl tiara said to be worth $250,000. As the first Japanese to win the crown in 48 years, she is in huge demand from the media and has already filmed her first commercial endorsement, for aesthetic company TBC, and has been inundated with interviews. When asked if she had changed in her month and a half away from Japan, she said that she hadn't but everything around her in Japan had. Asked what she had missed, she replied talking with her family and miso soup! She comfortably answered questions in English from foreign media, saying that in the future she hopes to follow in her mother's footsteps and open an international dance school. She soon heads back to New York, where she took part in a recent Japan Day event, and her schedule for the coming year includes traveling to some 25 countries and taking part in charity events for causes such as AIDS.

Too bad, I was watching it and using the computer at the same time. I came across wikipedia and while I was surfing the net that was when I found out that Miss Venezuela had won and the show was just getting started. It ruined it for me so I just stopped watching. I'm proud of Miss Venezuela, I just wasn't rooting for her. But that's one thing I hate about living in the U.S. and living in California. Nothing is live. It's recorded live, but it's not live and everything to us is old news.

hey, miss USA fell for the second time... something must be wrong

It the USA high horse.

Yeah that was really shocking! Even a stumble might''ve been better than falling on your butt like that! My mom says the USA has bad luck! At least she made light of the fall, and i think she got 8 something for that evening gown, which is still fairly good. Oh but i liked that one evening gown russia had. It was really pretty and simple. WHoops! rambling! sorry
