Miss Universe 2011 Question and Answer

If you missed the Question and Answer on today's Miss Universe 2011, like I did, here is the script of the the judges’ questions and contestants’ answers.

Miss Ukraine Olesia Stefanko: If you could trade lives with anyone in history, who would you choose and why? She uses a translator and says she’s "very satisfied" with her life. But if she had to choose someone she would pick Cleopatra because she’s a "powerful and strong woman who is very much worthy of respect…and I think a woman can also be a leader like Cleopatra."

Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup: Would you change your religious beliefs to marry someone with an opposite view? She says no, "because the first person I love is God, who created me…if that person loves me, he should love my God too."

Miss China Luo Zilin: Lots of places have nude beaches. Is public nudity appropriate or inappropriate? She uses a translator and says, "Every country has its rules and regulations…We should respect them and be more understanding." Um, huh?

Miss Brazil Priscila Machado: How would you avoid fighting a war you don’t agree with? She uses a translator and emphasizes the importance of respect. "No war is based on respect…It’s always based on misunderstanding, it’s always based on a lack of education."

Miss Angola Leila Lopes: If you could change one of your physical characteristics, which one would you choose and why? She uses a translator and says, "I wouldn’t change a thing." She says she was "endowed with inner beauty." She adds, "I have my principles. I have acquired many wonderful principles from my family." Then, she wants to offer a piece of advice: "Respect one another." However, she ran out of time.

Miss Columbia Catalina Robayo on "No underwear" Scandal

2011 Miss Universe candidate, Miss Columbia - Catalina Robayo, has reportedly appeared in official engagements without any underwear.

Miss Columbia has been reprimanded by the organizers because of this scandal, this is the first such controversy for Miss Universe to have a contestant not wearing underwear.

According to Paula Shugart, President of the Miss Universe Organization, “Colombia had to be spoken to and told she needed to wear underpants as what she was doing was totally inappropriate… People have been pretty upset by it; there have been photos and media appearances where she has completely had her crotch out.”

“There were several girls in short dresses which caused concern, but when I saw the (commando) picture on the front page of one of the local papers I was very, very surprised,” Shugart said.

“Our supervisors talked to all of the contestants about dressing appropriately, and one of our PR people spoke to her (Robayo) and apparently she said she was wearing underwear. But regardless, it created quite a stir here for a few days,” she added.
