112508: Pageant Tidbits
Advertisements
Asians were highly favored in the recently concluded Mister International pageant.
The Top 3 winners are from Asia (Vietnam, Lebanon, China) and five others made it to the semi-finals: India, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan (ROC).
Pageant fanatics are not generally in favor of the results.
Nothing to wonder though, because Mister International is organized by Mister Singapore Organization and was held in Taiwan.
The host candidate won two special awards, Mister Photogenic and Best National Costume other than placing in the Top 15.
Mister Vietnam Ngo Tien Doan was a Manhunt International 2007 Top 15 semi-finalist and took home the "Mr. Physique" award.
Mister Belgium Koen Van De Voorde, who placed in the Top 10, represented Luxembourg in Manhunt International 2008 last May and there he finished 13th.
Unfortunately, Mister Angola Claudio Furtado was 4th Runner Up in Manhunt International 2008, but he failed to make it to the semis of Mister International 2008.
Other favorites who didn't place in the finals were the representatives from Luxembourg, Malta, Latvia, Honduras, Nigeria and Bolivia.
For three years, Lebanon always ends up in the Top 5. Lebanon was the winner in 2006, 4th Runner Up in last year and 1st Runner Up this year.
It's the third consecutive time for Lebanon, Greece, USA, Venezuela and Singapore to place in the Mister International finals.
