Miss Earth 2024: The most boring competition season in history, like a fair, Vietnam is out of the top

Taking place at the same time as two major international beauty pageants also belonging to Big6, Miss Universe 2024 and Miss International 2024, the Miss Earth 2024 contest did not receive significant attention from the international beauty community.

And although there are 76 contestants participating, the beauty of this year's beauties is not highly appreciated. The Asian region, especially Southeast Asia, has always been very prominent in major beauty contests in recent years. However, at Miss Earth 2024, the contestants from this region have almost no notable faces. This year's Top 4 finalists have 2 contestants from the Americas, 1 contestant from Europe, and the new Miss Jessica Lane from Australia.

Miss Earth 2024 Jessica Lane from Australia, Miss Earth-Air 2024 Hrafnhildur Haraldsdóttir from Iceland. Miss Earth-Water 2024 Bea Millan-Windorski from the United States. Miss Earth-Fire 2024 Niva Antezana from Peru.

The Miss Earth 2024 Final took place on a small, sketchy stage and was considered unworthy of a Big 6 contest. However, the beauty who won the highest title was considered an outstanding individual.

The new Miss Earth 2024 is an environmental activist and a Journalism student at the University of the Sunshine Coast. In the final night, Jessica had an excellent performance, conquering the judges and the audience with her outstanding beauty, confident performance skills, and intelligent responses.

At age 11, Jessica Lane volunteered at the Australian Zoo to campaign against animal testing. Jessica Lane hopes to one day become an environmental journalist. When she entered the beauty pageant, Jessica Lane promised herself that she would use her platform to advocate for sustainability and the vital connection between the health of the Earth and human beauty.

When asked about how to promote traditions and long-standing heritage in a world surrounded by modern technology, Jessica Lane proudly talked about her country's traditions and heritage and how she is applying her major to promote them: "I believe that we can use modern technology such as newspapers, social networks, broadcasting networks and news, to share and inspire each other, keeping heritages more sustainable right from our daily activities."

Regarding Vietnam's representative - Cao Thi Ngoc Bich stopped at an unspecified rank. The fact that the beauty from Hung Yen was not called into the Top 20 finals is considered the end of Vietnam's 2-year streak of entering the top at the Miss Earth arena. With the format of Miss Earth 2024, the contestants do not have their own performance stage or opening name calling.

All activities were wrapped up to the maximum before the announcement of the Top 20 finalists. The Vietnamese representative appeared on the final stage for only a few minutes with a stylized halter neck design, with a slit in a bright red color. However, during a moment of the ensemble performance, Cao Thi Ngoc Bich encountered an accident with her skirt and almost fell.

On forums, beauty fans are discussing the failure of the country's representative at the Miss Earth arena. Some opinions say that it is natural that Cao Thi Ngoc Bich's name is not in the Top 20 this year.

Because the beauty born in 1999 was not recognized as Miss or Runner-up domestically, and did not have enough competition experience. Besides, "fading enthusiasm" on the media front is also one of the reasons leading to this result of Miss Earth Vietnam 2024.

Some comments from netizens after the failure of Miss Earth Vietnam 2024:

- "Last year, 3 runners-up of Miss Supranational Miss Grand International Miss Earth this year are all out".

- "If we can only stop at Top 10 in the domestic competition, who can we compete with internationally? Intop is the strange thing."

- "The result was predictable due to the breach of hosting contract and not sending the national beauty pageant runner-up to compete."

- "There's nothing surprising, last year they sent a beauty queen, this year they sent runner-up or top 5 contestants, why would they suddenly send a top 5 woman, who wouldn't be offended?"

- "I said this year I can only count on Ky Duyen and Thanh Thuy, the other representatives are all losers."
