Miss Earth 2014 candidates arrive: Two 'Miss Australia'?

Advertisements
Miss Earth 2014 candidates have arrived in the Philippines to take part in the pageant's mostly environmental activities for the next 20 days, leading to the finals night on the 29th.

Over 80 contestants are competing for the crown, including our very own, the host candidate Miss Philippines Jamie Herrell, who I think is one of the best representatives ever of the country in the pageant.

As I looked at some of Jamie's Instagram photos, this particular selfie caught my attention.

Beside Jamie is Miss Mexico Yareli Carillo and the dethroned Miss Australia Dayanna Grageda. The latter was already dethroned with the Miss Earth Australia crown last month (for her failure to fulfill her duties) and was replaced by Nadine Roberts. But why is she here? Is she the recognized Miss Australia by the pageant organizers?

In another photo from Miss Philippines Water 2014 Kim Covert, Grageda, though not wearing a sash, was also photographed with some other candidates.

Where's the official Miss Australia? Here she is...Nadine Roberts, who also knows who the girls she should be taking photos with.

As it turned out, Grageda is friends with Covert and she's just here to enjoy our place and have fun with the girls.

Reacting to a comment, Covert posted this via Instagram (@kimcovert) to clear things up: "@prettylittleliarsme she extended her her flight for another week so she could see Manila. :) Shes a very nice girl, love her!"

So that's it! Maybe, the dethroned Miss Australia is just here to experience how it is to be a Miss Earth candidate even if she's not the official one.

The Press Presentation of the candidates will be held tomorrow, November 10. Be ready to pick your favorites!
