The Miss Universe final taking place in Thailand this morning, December 21, is not only a battle for the crown but also the center of heated debate, raising big questions about the fairness and transparency of the most prestigious beauty contest on the planet.

TOP 12 REVEALED: BALANCE OF POWER TOWARDS AMERICA

The Final night stage just heated up when the Organizing Committee officially announced the list of Top 12 most outstanding beauties, representing outstanding beauties from all continents.

• Americas (7 places): Overwhelmingly dominant with strong representatives from Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Guadeloupe, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Venezuela.

• Asia (3 places): Asian countries still hold their positions with China, Philippines and host country Thailand representing.

• Europe (1 place): Malta representative is the only name called.

• Africa (1 place): The last place belongs to Côte d'Ivoire, offering ethnic diversity.

Among these contestants, the name Miss Universe China was unexpectedly evaluated by experts and audiences as the "Dark Horse" of this year's competition. Her breakthrough performance and stable performance helped the Chinese representative quietly rise, becoming a formidable opponent that many people did not expect. Her presence in the Top 12 further reinforced the belief that she is an unknown quantity that can cause a big surprise tonight.

CONFUSION AND SUSPICION OF FIXING: MU 2025 ACCUSED OF BEING UNFAIR

However, the joy of the Top 12 was not complete, the MU 2025 stage was submerged in a wave of anger from the international online community. A series of questions about the fairness of the competition were raised, turning the Final night into an endless entertainment "drama".

Judge's Withdrawal

Things started to get tense when information leaked that Omar Harfouch (right) and Claude Makélélé had left the Miss Universe 2025 judging panel due to controversies related to the selection process. Although the official reason has not been announced, this action has raised suspicions of pressure or outside interference in the results, seriously damaging MU's reputation.

Social Media "Terrorist" Storm From Vietnam

Notably, the Vietnamese online community is expressing its outrage in the strongest way. Thousands of accounts have "flooded" into the official social networking sites of Miss Universe to express their disappointment and question the transparency of the contest, especially after the Vietnamese representative mysteriously slipped out of the Top 12. Comments criticizing, questioning and requesting clarification are continuously posted, creating an unprecedented digital "terrorism".

The "Husband Choice Award" and Secret Power

The scandal climaxed with rumors of favoritism. International audiences called Miss Universe Thailand out for being the "host country." However, the most serious suspicion revolved around the award that fans jokingly called the "People's Choice Award." Instead of being the public's choice, netizens called it the "Husband Choice Award," implying that the results were manipulated by underground forces.

In particular, the information that the Paraguayan contestant's boyfriend will be a judge in the very contest she participated in has caused public opinion to explode. This conflict of interest, if true, will be an indelible stain, turning MU 2025 into a "staged show" rather than a fair contest.
