According to them, they didn't come up with a unanimous decision who will make it to the top but they named Miss India Adline Castelino to be in the number 1 of their Final Hot Picks.
Missosology noted, "Despite the difficult situation that her country is facing due to the pandemic, Adline brought her A-game in Florida, enchanting everyone with her renewed confidence and unassuming beauty during the preliminary swimsuit and evening gown. She has the gift of gab and perfectly fits the mold of an IMG/Endeavour era Miss Universe winner."
Meanwhile, our Philippine bet Rabiya Mateo landed top 3 in the list. Missosology noted how the candidate has been surrounded with negativity lately but continues to shrug it off for the competition. The pageant website noticed the wit and charm of our delegate during interviews. They even mentioned how Rabiya took a stand on social issues in the Philippines.
"Rabiya's interviews before and during the pageant are proof that she is genuine and has a great rapport with anyone she talks to. She has proven that she is quick-witted, communicates well, and has a solid stand on social issues – one that the Miss Universe competition is looking for in a winner over the past couple of years," Missosology noted.
