I guess that there are now just 5 hours left before the start of final competition of Miss Universe 2007. The contestants are surely very busy and excited with the last minute preparations. I guess that the organizers are even more excited and some worried to finish the event smoothly. We have already seen huge controversy over the pulling out of Miss Sweden 2007 from the competition. That is enough embarrassment for the organizers.

The Miss Universe pageant will hand a diamond- and pearl-studded crown to its 2007 beauty queen on Monday, choosing from 77 contestants including the competition's first Rastafarian.

 

Missing from this year's contest is Miss Sweden, whose country is one of the few to win the crown three times. Isabel Lestapier Winqvist, 20, dropped out because many Swedes say the competition, airing from Mexico City's National Auditorium, does not represent the modern woman.

 

Organizers say the Miss Universe contest carefully selects women who are intelligent, well-mannered and cultured.

 

I feel that the Swedes should start a new kind of Miss Universe or Miss World competition. They have identified the problem and they should solve the problem and give us an alternative version of female contest.
