The Wiki defines "The Universe" as "the totality of existence, including planets, stars, galaxies, the contents of intergalactic space, and all matter and energy." It also includes this:
The field scaled down from 86 to 16 ladies for the swimsuit semi-finals, with five of my picks from the preliminary round advancing. Do I know my smokes, or do I know my smokes?
Miss Dominican Republic has been a favorite of mine since the beginning.
So has Miss USA. America does two things better than anyone else: build big-ass weapons and produce Universe-level models. It's as though our Constitution was designed for this purpose.
Miss Philippines advanced to the Top 16 by winning the fan vote. It was a nice moment in light of the catastrophe that hit her nation over the weekend. She was the "People's Champ," finishing as the runner-up.
Miss Brazil kept everyone smiling.
I somehow missed Miss Nicaragua during the first go-around, which was an egregious error. I feel like I let my readers down.
But I did not miss the Swiss Amber Rose.
And how could anyone have missed Miss Great Britain.
Miss Universe 2013 hailed from Venezuela. I can get behind that.
I was on the Miss Australia bandwagon since the beginning, so I was disappointed to see she did not make the round of 16. Poor girl got a lousy consolation prize.
