1. Where are the voluptuous women? Or the athletic women?

Is there some rule that you have to be a swimsuit model?

[XemaSab]

28. Miss Brazil is curvy

[hunter]

31. curvy...

[liontamer]

37. yes there is a rule

i think once the contest states that you have to model a swimsuit, by definition you have become a swimsuit model :)

[hunter]

42. The women on the swim team didn't look like that.

Dangerous territory this -- for me and some of the women of the swim team -- anyways.

Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I cant, till I cant, till I cant take no more of it
Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down

[liontamer]

44. I think the women on the swim team have to swim

swimming is pretty different from modeling

[hunter]

45. Why?

I'll bet a woman on the swim team could be a model quicker than a model could be on the swim team.

:P

[Ravenseye]

2. How could you forget Poland?

5. Francys Sudnicka

Miss Poland 2006 Francys Sudnicka (L) and Miss Albania 2006 Eralda Itaj

[deucemagnet]

18. Holy cow! Miss Albania is a lovely woman, but...

...she shouldn't stand next to Miss Poland ever again. Ever.

(BTW, I voted for Poland.)

[Aristus]

3. Miss Universe? Where are the contestants from Proxima Centauri?

From the Sombrero Galaxy? The Horsehead Nebula? The Greater and Lesser Magellanic Clouds?

Until they get to compete, "Miss Universe" is an inaccurate title.

[edwin]

25. Just as accurate as the worldseries.

:P

[matcom]

4. OHHH CAAAANNAAAADAAAAAAAAA

simply because i know nothing of Costa Rica's anthem :7

[hunter]

6. Where do you wear your ipod, matcom?

huh?

[underpants]

7. Ooooo Costaaa Ricaaaaa

Being that I am an MURKAN it is okay that I just go ahead and assume that all the other national anthems are the same just with different words.

[matcom]

9. that WORKS!

you were even on key! :bounce:

[martymar64]

46. Oh! Canada!

Need I say more?

[last_texas_dem]

33. Yeah

I'm a Canada supporter as well.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. For Dog's sake, someone FEED those women!

:cry:

[TommyO]

35. My reaction also!

They're all too skinny - as my ex partner's great-grandmother used to say - there's not enough room for a soul in there! The exact quote was, "Barbara, you too skinny - not enough room for a soul in there."

[WoodyTobiasJr]

10. They still have a Miss Universe contest?

I totally thought they don't do that anymore...

If Miss Germany gained 5-10lbs she would get my vote but as it stands, my vote goes to Miss Brazeeeel

[underpants]

14. *

I thought Miss Brazil would run away with this... oh well see what happens when you think you make assumptions

:eeys:

[atomic-fly]

11. I chose Miss Poland...

[Richardo]

12. My mind inexplicably turns to the state of the world's helium reserves

:shrug:

[Richardo]

13. Isn't this the same woman?

[underpants]

15. No

Are you saying that they ALL LOOK ALIKE????


Miss Universe 2006 contestants (L-R) Ninni Laaksonen, Miss Finland 2006; Josephine Alhanko, Miss Sweden 2006; and Betina Faurbye, Miss Denmark 2006

[WoodyTobiasJr]

16. Miss Brazil has huge....................tracts of land

[RandomKoolzip]

17. Miss Costa Rica: yum.

[Jara sang]

19. There aren't any representatives from Zeta Reticuli

[underpants]

20. Hubba

only deserving of one hubba

[Fox Mulder]

40. I was wondering that too.

I think the Miss Universe Pageant isn't really a Miss Universe pageant unless you include the Reticulians.

[Schema Thing]

21. This was tough until Miss Nicaragua came scrolling by

That kinda smile owns me every time.

[Awsi Dooger]

32. Absolutely

But Brazil and Poland would be suitable consolation prizes

[Dr Fate]

22. Whoever wins the pillow-fight & girl on girl kissing contest is fine by me

n/t

[liontamer]

23. at first I wondered how these women could all look so similar

then I realized that this poll reflects your taste more than it does the actual makeup of the women in the contest. Were I to choose favorites, I would have picked ms trinidad and tobago, or ms japan. I also likely would have included pics of the women doing more than just sitting around by the pool, particularly that great shot of ms universe 2002 carrying a flag in a marriage rights protest in Panama city.

36. Kenisha Thom, Miss Trinidad and Tobago 2006

[BreweryYardRat]

24. Other.

Elisabeth Rohm trumps the entire lot of them.

[Benfea]

26. *barf* Beauty pagents objectify women. -NT

[Dr Fate]

27. Yeah- barf- they sure are ugly. n/t

n/t

[MrSlayer]

29. I went with Guatemuala.

Closest to a blonde but they are all quite hot. Germany and Candada are very similar, could be sisters.

[XemaSab]

30. Miss Kazakhstan!

Miss Albania is NAAAASTY looking, but Miss Trinidad is pretty easy on the eyes. Miss Egypt ain't bad either.

[Spider Jerusalem]

34. I vote for Miss Canada. She appears to actually have real breasts.

[Dangerously Amused]

38. How do you think

...how your attitude toward women will affect your daughter's self esteem as she grows up?

[Dukkha]

39. Ich Bin Ein Boobies!

my vote goes to Germany:P

[Fox Mulder]

41. Rafaela Zanella

She's the only one who doesn't have her ribs showing.

[Rabrrrrrr]

43. You'd think they'd make boob jobs a disqualifier for this event.

At least, i would think so.

Apparently not.

And it looks like they all went to the same doctor.
