As we all know, the Ms. Universe Pageant is being held right now. I want to know, if you are watching beauty pageants and if your bet didn't make it to even the semi-finals. Do you still continue to watch and wait till the winner is crowned? or you'll go to other channel and watch other tv programs? Everyone's welcome to join this discussion. Happy myLotting to all. HUGZ!

i stay and watch until the swimsuit competition is over. i really don't know. swimsuits must be addicted to me. it's the same thing every year and for all beauty pageants. the contestants clad in the skimpiest bikinis call my name and beckon me to coem and watch them in my tv screen. after that, everything is back to normal again and i find out who the winner was in next day's paper. lol!

I don't usually bet for anyone. But of course, if our own candidate wins, we will be very proud. If our candidate drops in the early stage of the pageant and already lost the chance for the crown, I will still continue watching until the end. KEEP SMILING = NEIL

I still continue though because I like watching the Q&A portion. It makes a candidate more beautiful if she is also smart right?

You are definitely right. It's in that portion when we will know if the who will be crowned is really deserving. Have a nice day. HUGZ!

I have watched part of it this morning. I think it's the 15 left that i was ale to watched but after the swim suit i didn't continue it because i had some important things to. I am not really fun of it and this time i don't have a bet but when i watched the part earlier it certainly came out to me that Venezuela has the potential and she really win. I think the first and the last time i really watched the whole event is when the Miss Universe was held here in the Philippines which of course my bet is Miss Philippines.

Hey dhangski, i like to watch th ebeauty pageants very much, but this time i missed it. i forgot and i went for a movie. So when ever i am watching it i become the judge and most of the time i win my bet. dont know how but i always win it. I think they should select me as a judge enjoy :)

I didn't watch the show but from time to time I did flip to the channel to see the ladies that were on their. I didn't watch it long enough to pick out someone that I would have wanted to win. That was a little hard to do cause all of the ladies were really pretty. I know that had to be a really nice time for them. I ended up watching Flashpoint. A show that started for the first time last night on CBS. That was a nice show. Have a good one.

I used to watch them when I was a little girl and a teen . As an adult I will sometimes watch a little bit of one . I like to always see who Ms PA is and what she is like , and if she dont make it in the rounds that is when I will usually turn it off . I cant remember the last time I watched a whole one . I should be cool to see from start to end

Haven't watched it yet,but i am sure they will do a replay of it.I doesn't matter if my bet does not make it to the finals.I would continue watching it wait until the last question and answer portion.Then me and my hubby would make our bets from the remaining candidates.We do finish it until the crowning.

I used to watch beauty pageants. I even would stay up all night just to watch who amongst the candidates would bag the crown. I like the evening gown competition where I get to see such lovely gown creations. I feel amazed how some candidates have such wit to answer the questions. I like to watch it with my gay brothers as they really have so many remarks about the candidates. We usually have our own bets and really cry out loud when they win. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm with pageants have waned as I am busy with my work and raising my own family.

I might watch just a couple of minutes of a pageant if I see it while flipping through the channels. I used to watch more when I was younger and used to root for certain contestants

I think majority of women do love to watch beauty pageants and I am one of them. The parade of beautiful faces and bodies and gowns do really entertain mo a lot. If my bet would not make it in the semi-finals, I still would continue watching because I want to see who would emerge winner and if she really deserves the crown.

I am at work now and hasn't had the luxury of watching it. It is actually the celebration of the first year anniversary of Governor Vilma's term in the Provincial Government of Batangas. We have TV here but I think everyone is so busy to think about the Ms. Universe Pageant. Usually, I don't watch the pageant, but like any other human being in this universe, I would like to know who won and how our country's representative fared. And usually, I would just hear it from the evening news. Have Fun!

No I don't watch it. I find it offensive that they still do these type of things. Many of the airheads who make it up on that stage wouldn't know real beauty if it hit them in their painted faces. Real beauty to me is a mother tending to her children and doing what she can to make their day a good one. Real beauty is someone who donates or volunteers to help others in need. Real beauty was my mom last year as she struggled with cancer. She had lost so much weight, and all of her hair. But she still took the time to smile and ask me how I was doing, if I was getting enough rest while I cared for her. THAT is beauty. The inner person who cares for another even when they are going thru such horrible pain.
