Miss Earth 2012 Final Leaderboard

Closing up a night full of Leaderboards is the Final Leaderboard for Miss Earth 2012. After a very long Olympic-styled competition, Miss Earth will also crown its new queen tomorrow night, and here is our final list of fave for Miss Earth 2012!



The Leaderboard
1. Thailand
2. Venezuela
3. South Africa
4. USA
5. Czech Republic
6. Turkey
7. Australia
8. Puerto Rico
9. Brazil
10. Netherlands
11. Korea
12. Russia
13. Kenya
14. India
15. Germany
16. Philippines


Since its inception in 2001, only two times Asian country wins Miss Earth, that is the Philippines, the country where it comes from, in 2008 and India, a classic powerhouse, in 2010. It's about time for another Asian country to claim the crown, and no one more deserving than the Goddess from Thailand,  our top choice for Miss Earth 2012. The judges seem to love her too, and she has collected quite a lot medals, including gold medal for Best National Costume and silver medals for the prestigious Best in Evening Gown and Miss Photogenic awards.

The 7 years streak of powerhouse Venezuela seem will continue for another year as this country sends another high caliber contestant with a bright prospect to clinch an elemental crown. Medal queen South Africa, whose medal collection perhaps can only be rivaled by Turkey is also expected to make an elemental finish. Completing the elemental, we wish, should be USA. While she has not earned as many medals as the others, her complete package of beauty and brain should not be ignored or wasted.

Our other faves include Kenya - this year most beautiful black girl, Czech Republic - the blond bombshell of the year, Korea - the edgy-looking Asian beauty, and Brazil - a pre-arrival fave who has not made buzz as much as expected but should not be counted out either. These girls are also expected to be among the Top 16 tomorrow night.

So that is our final list of faves for Miss Earth 2012. We will find out who is the winner in just one more day. Stay tuned!

Mister World 2012 Final Leaderboard

After 2 weeks of competition, Mister World 2012 is finally drawing to the end. Tomorrow we will find out who is the most desirable man in the world, and here is our faves to win that prestigious title. Check it out after the jump!




The Leaderboard
1. Mexico
2. Colombia
3. Philippines
4. Spain
5. Ireland
6. Venezuela
7. Russia
8. Brazil
9. Malta
10. India
11. Belgium
12. Luxembourg
13. Croatia
14. Wales
15. England

As we stated in an article before, Mexico is a perfect package from head to toes. This super chiseled handsome hunk embodies all the categories required to become the world's most desirable man.  His close competitor would be Colombia, a polished, cute, and ultra commercial model, and Philippines, an avid sportsman (a quality that is strongly respected in Mister World) with a very good look.

The defending champion, Ireland also holds a good chance for back-yo-back victory. Like Philippines, his best assests in this competition is a combination of attractive face and sporting abilities. Brazil and Spain are and will always be powerhouse in male pageant and their delegates this time are also of high standard. Malta is a beauty with brain (he is a model who also holds a Master degree), while India is exotic and would look so fierce on the catwalk

We also love Belgium boyish fresh look and Luxembourg hunky manly look. Also expected to make the top list tomorrow are two British boys England and Wales. Both gain advantage from the fact that the contest is hosted within the British realm, but their placement would be highly justitied and acceptable as they both deserve it.

So who will be crowned as Mister World 2012 - the most desirable man in the world?We will find out soon! Stay tuned!

Mister International 2012 Final Leaderboard

With only one day before the Grand Final of Mister International 2012, here is our final list of favorites for the pageant .... check it out after the jump!


The Leaderboard
1. Ireland
2. Lebanon
3. Slovenia
4. Brazil
5. Thailand
6. Czech Republic
7. Serbia
8. Indonesia
9. Singapore
10. Venezuela
11. Turkey
12. Malaysia
13. China
14. Sweden
15. Haiti
16. Philippines

In our opinion, Mister International 2012 title should belong only to one of these 6 contestants we dub as "The Stunning Six" : Brazil, Czech Republic, Ireland, Lebanon, Serbia, and Slovenia. These six are on a level above the rest of other contestants and if the competition is fair, should get high placement tomorrow. Out of these six, we are particularly impressed with Ireland for his expensive high fashion face and top model aura and Lebanon for his pure masculine handsomeness and hot body. We really hope to see those 2 as the last 2 men standing tomorrow.

Although he may not be as strong as "The Stunning Six", Thailand, with his fair look, tall figure, and most importantly home turf status, may go very far in this competition, perhaps even as far as a Top 5 finish. After 2 years sending oriental look delegates, Indonesia sends a completely different yet equally attractive delegate this year -  a dark exotic man with a touch of Middle Eastern look. His best asset is his photogenic face which appeals to any camera lens. Turkey is a unique combination of both boyish and manly vibe. He is also undeniably attractive and should also make the cut.

For the last 2 years, Mister International has always reserved a spot for black delegate, and assuming the trend continue this year, the spot seems to be reserved for Haiti, the best black delegate this year. Philippines made the cut by winning the fan voting last year and we predict history will repeat itself this year.

 So that's our Final choice for this year Mister International edition .... how about yourself? Who ido you think will win Mister International 2012?

Predicting The Winners of Mister World 2012 Challenge Events

Mister World 2012 will feature 5 different challenge events whose winners are guaranteed spots in semifinal round. With semifinal spot at stake, obviously it is an important and exciting aspect in the competition. Here, we are trying to predict who will likely come up triumphant in each event. And here they are our prediction for Mister World 2012 Challenge Event winners!
 
Sport Challenge


Winner prediction : Philippines
First of all, Mister Philippines plays rugby for his country national team. Second, he is is the winner of the penalty shoot-outs contest, scoring more goals than his competitors. And finally, he also comes up as the best in sprinting event. Yes, it is true that he has some difficulties during the swimming portion of the challenge (he was reportedly almost drowned on the swimming pool), but he makes up big time at the other two events.In the end, it would be a very close call between him and his toughest competition, Mister Ireland, a professional swimmer who also performed really well. But for this time we are going with the Philippines.

Close calls : Ireland


Extreme Sport Challenge


Winner prediction : Croatia
This would be another tough competition between Mister Croatia and Mister Colombia. After performing well at the classic traditional Olympic-styled sport challenge, these two also perform really well and neck-in-neck at the "bring it to a whole new level" military-styled extreme sport challenge. In the end, we predict Croatia as the winner for his gymnastic background. Being a gymnast, he surely has the strength, agility, and flexibility to move pass the assault course quickly as he proved by breaking the time record for 
the wayer course section of the challenge.

Close calls : Colombia


Multimedia Challenge


Winner prediction : Venezuela
For this year Multimedia round, the contestants were asked to travel to Canterbury and made a special presentation about the city, its history, and its culture via their social media. Tons of photos and videos have been uploaded and there are several presentations that catch our attention, but the one that we like the most, therefore we predict it to win, belongs to Mister Venezuela. Aside from the detailed explanation, Venezuela's presentation also covers a wide variety of subjects and topics, and he even includes local people in his presentation (we love you Peter), giving it a more interactive touch.You can see his whole presentation on his official Facebook fanpage.

Close calls : South Africa and Colombia


Talent Challenge


Winner prediction : England
Historically Miss World Organization favors singers as their talent champion. That fact alongside his status as a host delegate, will give England, who displays vocal skills for his talent, as a fave contender for this year title. Talent-wise England also proves his musicality and creativity as the song that he performs is written by himself and he sings it while playing a guitar. His only problem is there are also 3 other singers among the group that his talent could be considered as too generic and not unique.

Close calls : Canada, Venezuela, and Vietnam


Fashion & Style Challenge


Winner prediction : Mexico
Borrowing Tyra Banks's word, this guy is perfect from head to toes. Good-looking, physically buffed, and he has good sense of fashion too. According to Mister World website, the winner of this event will be determined on Final night after a fashion show with all contestants participating took place. In that case, we predict Mexico, with his handsome face, manly charisma, good style, and tall supermodel-esque figure, as the one to beat for this title.

Close calls : Philippines, Colombia, Malta, and Russia



Now how about yourself? Who is your fave to win each Challenge Events? Don't be shy to share and stay tuned for Mister World 2012 Grand Final on 24 November 2012 to find out who will be the actual winners of each Challenge Events!

Mister World 2012 : Top 15 Extreme Challenge Semifinalists

Last Friday, the Mister World 2012 contestants faced one of the hardest challenge in the entire competition - extreme challenge. As the name suggested, only the ones with endurance, strength and determination could make it until the very end. During the challenge, the contestants were split into 3 teams and received a mission brief from the assault course commander, a serving member of the British Military and assault course specialist. In the end only 15 contestant who will go through into the final round, and they are ...

Sliding through the muddy tunnel

Red Group

For the preliminary round, their first challenge was the sprint course. With only the top 5 from each team able to qualify for the main event, it was every man for himself, and no holding back. taking it on one group at a time, the course involved climbing the hay bale wall, volting the high fences, crawling the tunnel network, leaping across the chasm, hurdling the barrels and finally scrambling through the pen full of tubing, in which Macau China sets the best time record. The teams also faced it a second time, but working together as a team, with the stronger contestants helping the rest of the team finish as quick as possibly, hauling them up the banks and across the walls, with words of encouragement.

Running over the hills

Green Group

 With the final 15 selected, it was time for them to take on the big challenge; the wayer course. With tougher conditions, more challenging obstacles, and only the very best in the running, the atmosphere was buzzing, as the contestants took to the starting line. Split into two sections, the first section included a headlong charge along an icy cold and mud filled river, with bridges to duck under, steep banks to climb up and down, tire-walls to traverse, and tunnels to crawl through. A steep net wall marked the end of the section, with a fireman's pole to slide down to stop the clock. Croatia won this part of competition.

Swinging over muddy swamp

Blue Group


The final section of the main event started with a rope swing over a deep pit filled with more icy cold water. the contestants then had to traverse balancing beams, crawl through the slime below the barbed wire nets, through the tunnel networks, and over the highwall to finish the challenge.In the end, it was Colombia who made the finish first for this final round.

Who will make it as the Extreme challenge champion this year? Stay tuned!

Miss Earth 2012 First Leaderboard

After more than 2 weeks competition, we can finally make our first Leaderboard for Miss Earth 2012. Our choice is mostly based our impression of the girls during their appearance at Press Conference held on 6 November 2012, as well as their candid pictures from the past 2 weeks of competition. The Miss Earth medal scoreboard, though a bit confusing to follow due to its overly massive numbers of events, also help in making the decision for this Leaderboard. And here are our Top 16 Miss Earth 2012 contestants for the moment ...


The Leaderboard
1. Thailand
2. USA
3. Venezuela
4. Czech Republic
5. Australia
6. South Africa
7. Brazil
8. Korea
9. Scotland
10. Turkey
11. Moldova
12. Netherlands
13. India
14. Kenya
15. Nepal
16. Philippines

After Asian triumphs at Miss World and Miss International this year, we really hope for another Asian to come on top at Miss Earth 2012, and she is Thailand. With a naturally gorgeous face and packed with charm and elegance, she deserves the crown this year. The elemental spots for our Leaderboard are reserved for USA, a combination of stunning looks and smart brain (she is a World Miss University titleholder), Venezuela, a very competitive contestant with a strong sash factor to back her up, and Czech Republic, a super sexy vixen and, in our opinion, the best blonde this year.

South Africa and Turkey have both done very well in the medal tally and are expected to go far in the competition. Korea is edgy and stands out with her "I am not your typical Beauty Queen" look Kenya is such an ebony beauty and we expect her to fill the token spot given to "woman of color" contestants this year. Nepal is our sentimental fave. She is one of the best delegate ever sent from a country which rarely makes any impact in pageant, and we really wish she will make a history for her country.

With one week to go and still more awards and challenges to come, expect some changes for our Final Leaderboard to be published later this week. Until then ... stay tuned!

Mister World 2012 First Leaderboard

Even if it is not consistently held, Mister World is indeed, still one of the best male pageant in the terms of quality, contestants-wise and production-wise. This year edition is no exception. Though the number of contestants declines from the previous edition, the quality of the contestants is still on a very high level. We can even name more than 10 countries with a great chance of becoming the next Mister World. And after a very difficult deliberation, we finally come up with our first set of Leaderboard, as you can see below!



The Leaderboard
1 Malta
2. India
3. Venezuela
4. Russia
5. Mexico
6. Brazil
7. Philippines
8. South Africa
9. Colombia
10. Spain
11. Puerto Rico
12. Belgium
13. Italy
14. France
15. Bulgaria

This first Leaderboard reflects the fact that this year contest is dominated by entries from Europe and Americas, and therefore we have more faves from those two regions. Malta, with a Masters degree in Business Administration and a classic handsome face, speaks 5 languages and has won Male Model of the Year at a fashion awards ceremony, proving he is a perfect combination of brain and beauty, and wins our heart to be on the top of this Leaderboard. Also on the top packs of the Leaderboard are India, one of the best and the most handsome delegate ever sent from this Asian powerhouse country, and Venezuela, whose fame and vast experience in modeling has gained him a lot of buzz even prior to the start of the competition.

Latin contestants are famous for their sex appeal charm, and we have been charmed with a some of them, including Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Spain. With a charming persona of a sophisticated gentleman, Philippines also deserves a very high placement this time. Italy is a stunning Greek god prototype while Belgium stands out with his boyish and cute face.

It is important to note that this Leaderboard is made mostly based on our pre-arrival and first days impression of the contestants. As we will start to count in the contestant profile video and Fast Track results for the next Leaderboard, expect a major shakeups in the ranking. Until then .... stay tuned!

After 2 days of grueling physical strength and concentration tests, the best 12 sportsmen from this year batch of Mister World have been chosen.

Brazil sit-ups

Italy straddle jumps

The preliminary for this event was held on two separate days. On the first day, held on last Tuesday, the contestants were tested of their strength, agility, and stamina, where only those with the fitness and willpower could battle to the end. They had to face four 90 second intense exercise routines, one after the other with no time to rest. They faced an initial round of press-ups with claps in between, then they had to perform burps (squat thrust to star jump). After this they had to take on the high steps with straddle jumps, and just when their bodies couldn't take anymore punishment, they had to do 90 seconds of grueling sit ups.

 Netherlands and Mexico

Push ups and more push ups

The second day, held on last Thursday, was a bit different. This time it was their hand-eye coordination and concentration as they took part in the golfing round. The challenge took place on the 10th hole of a PGA Championship level golf course, where the contestants had just one chance to hit their ball to land as close to the green as possible. With a par of 168 yards, the distance gave the contestants a sporting chance of achieving their aim. Before they began, they received a demonstration from the club pro, who gave them some hints and tips into playing their stroke, and showed them how it was done with a perfect chip onto the green.

 Ireland, Honduras, and Argentina

A very tired Spain

After the first two days of sports challenges, the scores were then added up and the leaderboard was calculated. The chosen 12 semifinalists would continue their tests with a time trial swimming race, a race against the clock and each other in a sprinting event, and finally a test of foot eye coordination in the football event..
