The 72nd Annual MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT will be broadcast LIVE from El Salvador on Saturday, November 18th on YouTube, Roku or Telemundo in the United States, starting at 8:00 PM ET.
The pageant's owners, JKN Global Group, out of Thailand, just filed for bankruptcy last week. This year's pageant will go on as scheduled.
I always watch this contest on Telemundo because Latin American countries take this pageant very seriously and do a great broadcasting the event. They even have a pre-show scheduled as well.
Two trans women, Miss Portugal and Miss Netherlands, will be competing amongst the 84 candidates. No word yet on whether they'll 'tuck in' during the swimsuit competition. What I do know is that the pageant directors of the Latin American, African and Middle Eastern countries are LIVID that trans contestants are allowed to compete.
So grab yourself a margarita, sit back and enjoy the show! I know I will. I've watched this pageant since the age of 4 in 1970 with my grandmother. God, I miss those times!
Out of 84 contestants, the nutbar from Portugal placed in the top 20. The one from the Netherlands’ quest was fruitless.
A mother and wife, Miss Colombia, placed in the top ten. She’s no “MISS”!
