Miss Grand favors the runner-up, fans boo because Nawat is "cheap", revealing 1 person surpassing Thuy Tien

The 2024 season ended with a series of scandals but also left unique, rare marks in the 10-year history of Miss Grand International. Accordingly, Christine Juliane Opiaza - 1st Runner-up just had a "homecoming" trip after more than 1 month of winning the title.

She was given a grand parade through the streets of the Philippines in a striking red car, complete with inflated balloons. Christine Juliane Opiaza was welcomed and enthusiastically supported by a large audience in her home country.

According to some sources, after the "homecoming" trip, the 1st runner-up - Miss Grand International 2024 will return to work between late December 2024 and August 2025. In addition to the reigning Miss Rachel Gupta, the 1st runner-up will also travel around the world. This will partly help the term of the Philippine beauty become more brilliant.

After the turmoil of the 2023 season, Mr. Nawat and the Philippine sash have mended their relationship. In an interview with international media, the president of Miss Grand International said that this sash has achieved top 5 achievements, the title of runner-up and will soon have its first Miss crown.

In previous seasons, the glory of Miss Grand International was usually limited to the winner of the highest position. However, in the 2024 season, there was an exception, sharing it with the 1st runner-up. In addition, many other runners-up in the top 5, even the top 10 in recent seasons, participated in livestreaming to sell products for Mr. Nawat after being crowned.

Miss Grand International will start to change its format from the 2022 season, the time to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the contest. Instead of taking the top 5 including 1 Miss and 4 Runners-up as usual, the contest will give the top 10 best contestants special titles. In addition to the Miss and Runner-up positions (1 - 2 - 3 - 4) remaining the same, the remaining 5 positions in the top 10 will be tied for the 5th Runner-up position. In addition, a contestant who wins the vote will be specially selected to be in the top 10 best contestants.

This format has caused a lot of controversy. Many people have expressed their dissatisfaction and assessed that this direction of Mr. Nawat has caused the value of the Miss Grand International award system to decrease, making the contest increasingly "marketable".

In the history of Miss Grand International, Thuy Tien of Vietnam in 2021 is considered the beauty who brought in the highest revenue and profit for the Miss Grand organization. However, in the "empire" of the contest, there is still a 1st runner-up who is equally successful, even more than the beauty queen, the 1st runner-up Miss Grand 2022 - Engfa Waraha.
