The questions focus on current and generally relate to the great events going on. The test application assesses the interest with which the candidate follows the great record and its ability to form an opinion of the essential facts. The Question about the stage changes the total score for the 5 percent.

Miss Universe never ceases to amaze between participants and emotional leg deadlifts supermodel, are staged also national costumes sometimes embarrassing of the preliminary show. Feathers by majestic tropical parrots, waterfalls rhinestones, applications and a perpetually unstable equilibrium between I see and do not see.
But you know, Miss Universe 2015 could not be less than ever before, so the show prior to this year, saw the contestants dress up the usual extravagant national clothes, many of which are worthy of going up on the wagons of the Carnival in Rio.
Oh yes, because the international event, which sees aspiring to the title slide in elegant evening dresses, showing the perfection of its forms thanks to the catwalk in swimwear and answer the questions of the jury to show that in addition to the leg's more (forgive us if we quote Gio Ringing in this post), also has its own little moment trash with the preliminary ceremony, made of highly original costumes and anything but sober (10+ Miss Venezuela in the tweet below that chose the fluorescent yellow color not to go unnoticed).
Then you will be pleased to know that the organizing team, I do not pay the publication of videos and photos with the Miss dressed up, also has the sly habit of pouring out to interested viewers and sailors of the official website, a contest via social network to vote clothes most beautiful.

Born in California in 1952, the contest is currently managed by American tycoon Donald Trump, who has acquired the rights in 1996. Miss World is one of the beauty pageants most famous and important. It was founded in the United Kingdom by Eric Morley in 1951. Since his death in 2000, the competition has passed into the hands of his wife Morley, Julia Morley.
The competition was founded in 1952 together with that of Miss USA, created by the line of swimsuits Catalina who had terminated the sponsorship deal with the competition of Miss America last year. The event is now a great response from the public and participation so as to become a real televised annual event since 1955. In 1960 the American television network CBS bought the rights to the programming of the competition and then sell them to the NBC only in the 2003. Miss Universe has now become by far the most prestigious beauty pageant in the world and famous.
The format of the competition has undergone small changes over the years. Currently, candidates spend an average of 4 weeks in the host usually in summer attending galas, events and meetings with the public. The 15 semi-finalists are chosen during a preliminary competition, which was held a few days before the final night. This preliminary competition is divided into three categories interview with the judges discuss with each candidate to test general knowledge, personal projects and aspirations, parade in swimsuits often a sponsor of the lines and parade in evening gown chosen and procured by the applicant in its sole discretion.
The two parades are held consecutively in the same evening, a day or two after the round of interviews. The Trump Organization, the current owners of the competition, 6 of the semi-finalists selected by the judges independently. In past years, the number of semi-finalists has varied, but there were never less than 10 years with more than 20 semi-finalists or the night of the final, the semi-finalists are announced during the live broadcast, and must then compete in swimsuit or dress evening the format now appears in alternate years.
The 10 contestants with the highest scores advance and after another round of competition, the 5 finalists are selected. The final result is determined by a round of questions and answers between the judges and competitors with the general impression on the performance and beauty of the individual competitor. The judges of the final is always different from the preliminary judges.
The photogenic award Miss Photogenic deserves attention separately assigned in the past by the photographers involved in the coverage of the event, is now instead voted directly by the public via the Internet. As a result, the year of change in the rules the prize went four times in succession to the representative of Puerto Rico and three times that of the Philippines , both countries known for their extreme attachment to beauty contests.
The role of Miss Universe after the election is especially linked to the charity. The organization of the competition supports causes such as the fight against AIDS and Miss Universe fails to amass millions and millions of dollars each year to spare. In addition, the winner travels the world participating in different types of events beauty contests, openings, top, visits to hospitals or troops abroad and so on that is requested or must appear in the contract. Along with the victory, Miss Universe wins a scholarship for two years at the New York Film Academy worth $ 100,000, a salary for the duration of the license, a large collection of clothes, swimsuits, evening gowns , shoes and beauty products and many other prizes including free stay in a luxury apartment in the Trump Tower in New York.
Each year the competition is regularly one of the most watched television events in the world, with an audience estimated at between 600 and 900 million viewers in 90 countries. The event is particularly popular in South America, especially in countries such as Colombia, the Brazil and especially Venezuela, where beauty contests are part of the national culture and national representatives are subjected to a preparation.
In the past, winners of the competition from these countries have become veritable national heroines finding fame and great response from the public, until you have a life even exemptions from taxes. The competition, in contrast, is a little later in Europe and European competitors have historically had less success, particularly in recent decades. To date, excluding the Russian Oxana Fedorova for his disqualification, the last European to win the title was the Norwegian Mona Grudt in 1990.
The United States is the country with the best results of all: 8 American women candidates won the crown more than any other country and only four from 1952 to date have failed to advance to the semifinals. This is due to the fact that the Miss USA crown every year beauties of the highest level in addition to the fact that the sizes of Miss USA and Miss Universe are identical and the national competition will automatically prepare the winner for the international one. In contrast, the majority of beauty pageants in Europe are structured in a less organic, without preliminary competitions, parades to score or interviews.
Along with the competitions rival Miss Universe and Miss Earth , Miss World is one of the most publicized beauty contests in the world. The beauty contest Miss World started as a contest of bikini , in honor of the recent launch of the swimsuit , but was renamed Miss World by the mass media . It was initially planned as a single event, but following the fashion of Miss Universe was decided to repeat it annually. However, in subsequent years, the bikini was replaced by swimsuits. In 1959 , the BBC began broadcasting television in the event, increasing greatly the popularity of the event.
In the eighties the competition lost appeal on the audience, and they tried with the slogan Beauty with a purpose the competitors, as well as parade had to undergo texts of intelligence and personality. Nevertheless, the competition was considered out of fashion and not Politically correct in the UK. It was during these years that for a short time the contest was owned by Transworld Communications . Before the competition will be re-broadcast on television will have to wait until 1998 when Channel 5 began to transmit Miss World.
Eric Morley died with the advent of the new millennium and the post of organizer of the competition was taken over by his wife Julia.The new millennium also saw the first win Miss World Africa, Agbani Darego, in 2001. As part of a new strategy of marketing Miss World launches television special You decide, which displays the competitors in the behind the scenes of the competition and in some moments of everyday life, and the viewer is given the opportunity to vote for their favorite through televoting.

But that's just my problem and should not prevent, take this delicious, dazzling played and freshly staged comedy in your collection you. It is worthwhile in any case! And if only for Meena looks.
