New owner of Miss Universe opens up about "splitting the prize evenly", fans boo: Will it be a pot of porridge like Miss Grand?

The new owner of Miss Universe - billionaire actress Anne Jakrajutatip recently confused fans when she revealed that she will bring back the side prizes of the pageant.

In early January 2023, the 71st Miss Universe pageant will be held in the United States with the participation of nearly 100 contestants. This is said to be a special season because the competition has been bought by the Thai transgender billionaire. As soon as she acquired Miss Universe, Anne Jakrajutatip made many changes. One of them is to bring back the side prizes.

Anne repeatedly hinted on her personal page that this year's contest will have a series of sub-awards such as Best Evening Gown, Best Swimsuit, Miss Photogenic,... It is known that these are awards dating back to when Donald Trump took the helm. However, these awards were "killed" when IMG acquired the competition.

Currently, the fact that Anne is cherishing bringing these awards back to Miss Universe is seen as a move to bring Miss Universe back to its heyday and become a true beauty pageant. Previously, Miss Universe was said to be the most "stingy" beauty arena when only Miss received the reward and the contestants had to leave empty-handed, or only received 1 bouquet of flowers. Not only that, many reports also said that Miss Universe is owed prize money from previous contestants.

Although it is hoped that this move of billionaire Anne will help the contest return to its former glory, people are also worried about how the organization will not be as expected.

Because just a month ago, Miss Grand International president - Mr. Nawat made many viewers frustrated by "dividing evenly" up to 10 crowns, making the contest extremely complicated. Therefore, it is considered good for Miss Universe to divide the sub-prize among the contestants, however, if the organization is not skillful, it will be easy for the contest to receive mixed opinions.

This change of Miss Universe caused netizens to constantly leave controversial comments:

- I remember that Bolivian contestants in Miss Universe 2020 were owed prize money. The contestants in the top 15 under Trump got $250, the top 10 got $500, the top five and the runners-up got $1,000-3,000.

"But I hope I can do it, I'm afraid to be like Miss Grand. See what the organization is like for the first time.

- It's better to have a secondary award, the contestant doesn't leave empty-handed.

- The time when the runner-up was given a bouquet, he saw the sin.

Having just bought the contest a while ago, transgender billionaire Anne Jakrajutatip has made many changes that are difficult for beauty fans to grasp. Notably, Anne often makes "sudden" decisions that leave people bewildered.

Earlier, one of the most controversial issues was the news that incumbent Miss Harnaaz Sandhu was not crowned her successor, as Anne would do so. After speculation and controversy on social networks, recently the female owner of Miss Universe also had an answer on this issue.

Recently, the Miss Universe organization continued to inform the contestants that they have sent white gowns to each contestant so that they can freely create, design projects - activities or messages that these beauties want to convey to international audiences.

Besides, Miss Universe also said that the girls do not need to prepare auction items as usual, but in the 2022 season the gowns brought by the beauties will be auctioned to raise funds for charity.

The 71st season of the Miss Universe pageant had many major changes after Anne Jakrajutatip came to power with a larger crown change, eliminating the runner-up from the finale leaving only 1 miss and Top 7. The changes in the institution of the Miss Universe pageant after returning to the new owner, Thai billionaire Anne, have attracted much public attention.

It is known that the Miss Universe 2022 contest will only take place within 10 days. This schedule is comparable to the 2019 season and is arguably too short for the girls. Accordingly, from January 3, 2023 to January 5, 2023, the girls will depart for the United States and proceed with check-in procedures to meet the organizers, the semifinals will take place on January 11, 2023, the National Costume competition will fall on January 12 and the final will take place on January 15, 2023.

Besides, the new crown will also be worth a lot, up to 130 billion is about to be launched by Anne in the near future. Through the newly posted glimpse image with a blur effect, the shape of this item has a vertical cylindrical shape that circles around the head 360 degrees, attaching many gems and diamonds around to create the powerful glare of a Miss Universe.

With only 1 month left, Ngoc Chau will officially set out to conquer the most prestigious crown on the planet. Vietnamese fans are looking forward to Ngoc Chau making a story in the Universe arena this time with the story of single mothers that she has previously revealed.
