I root for !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , of course. Her name is Mary Jean Lastimosa.

So do many of the Filipino Opponauts here.

<—-She's already in the Top 15, and naturally I pray for the stars to align so she can take home the crown.

How about you?

UPDATE: She gets in the Top 10 GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!

UPDATE 2 : Oh, cones, she's not in the Final 5. Eurgh.

She'll do just fine. If I'm not looking hard, she looks a little like Anna Kendrick, and that's never bad.

Honestly? I think the whole idea of a beauty pageant in this day and age is ridiculous! I work on shows of all kinds, but one time when I was new I had to bring some stuff that was made for a kids beauty pageant. It was one of the scariest things I have ever seen, the parents were making these kids look like they were 25 and I can only imagine how these people turn out after years and years of this. I'll never forget that day!

Sig other is Japanese, so I am bound to root for her, as I did when Riyo Mori won a few years ago. Plz keep me informed.

Too bad she didn't make it. I think she earned it, since (according to the scoreboard) she's been wearing that for three months.

Almost. If you're watching the Q&A now, you could understand the outrage on Twitter.

One of the prizes for the title is acting lessons ... where my sig other works. She might meet the winner. I, sadly, will not

All joking aside, she is absolutely stunning. I don't watch the show, but if she can even string a sentence together then I'm on board.

I was thinking the same thing. In some ways, she's prettier than AK, though that could also be the makeup.

I love Filipinos heck I even married one but Miss Philippines doesn't do it for me at all. I've seen prettier Filipinos in my small town of 22,000 people. Miss Netherlands is the one that got me weak in the knees. OH MY GAWD!!! *FAINTS*

*revived*

Ah, yes, she is indeed beautiful. BUT WHY DID MISS USA AND MISS UKRAINE GET TO THE TOP 5 AND NEITHER OF OUR BETS DID?!

WHY?!

TELL ME, MAN, WHY?! WA-HAHAHAHAHA-HAY?!

Don't know I didn't watch past the top 15 intro.

Filipino pride is strong in the house my wife was claiming all sorts of controversies last night. and I was like "honey you can't get upset every time a filipino doesn't win".

But yet I freak out if Pacman loses so I guess I'm just as bad.

Ah, yes. The quintessential Filipino fan. Loyal as fuck and has a tendency to rant like crazy. The person doing the fighting may be gracious in defeat, but not the fans.

For me, though, MJ's evening gown killed her chances dead. Maybe if she went with blue...

I'm curious as to what your wife spat out in Filipino after she watched Miss U.

She was ranting about last year how Philippines should of won because miss venezuela did not even speak english and she needed a translator. That it was a setup or something. I answered "holy fuck! that's the most racist thing I've heard you say"

I chuckled since every time a filipino doesn't win something you go on facebook and see dozens of controversy post within minutes of the event. Why can't you just except that you can't always win every single time.
