5th Placer among 83 ladies in Mandalay Bay!

August 24, 2010 in Manila's time at the Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, Nevada, The coronation night for Miss universe finally begins with the introduction of the candidates wearing their national costume..



After the commercial break, the Pageant's hosts, Bret Michaels and Natalie Morales names the following Ladies one by one who entered the top 15. While, watching, I am expecting that Venus will not make it to the top 15 because after Czech Republic was called (14th finalist) I was expecting it to be either Miss USA, Miss Venezuela, Miss Spain or Miss India will be called, surprisingly, Venus got the last slot for top 15.

Then comes the battle for the swimsuit competition,...and the announcement of the top 10 followed with Venus Raj called third.

Then the ten ladies looked gorgeous on their next competition, the Long gown. after the competition, Top 5 finalist, sure winners were named. Venus Raj was called last.

Question and answer portion came and Venus Raj picked judge William Baldwin and the question was "what is the biggest mistake in your life and how did you resolve it" something like that, I don't know the exact words, Venus answered it confidently but kinda out of the supposed answer for the question. And the "Major Major" from Venus Raj's answer became popular on social networking sites and on Filipino's Daily expressions almost replacing the term "bonggang bongga"..



In the end, after 11 years of waiting for the next win after Miriam Quiambao's Victory as Miss Universe's First runner-up in 1999, Venus won 4th runner-up in Miss Universe 2010. Miss Ukraine Anna Poslavska was 3rd runner-up, Miss Australia's Jesinta Campbell was 2nd runner-up, Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillipps was 1st runner-up and Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete was crowned Miss Universe 2010.
