This post is dedicated to my good friend and avid beauty contest watcher Ojie Lucman who has put his bets on the top 9 candidates ( plus one from me) – any of whom (we think!) will become the next Miss Universe 2010 to be crowned at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Thanks to Ojie, I am also now excited at these beauty contests, and now realized they’re a good exercise in entertainment 
Too bad, Ojie will not be around during the Miss Universe 2010 live telecast on August 23 (morning of August 24, Manila time) because he’s now on his way to a Ramadan pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia..uh huh. Way to go Oj!
Here’s our Top 10 list:
1. Miss Philippines Venus Raj (of course!)
2. Miss Venezuela Marelisa Gibson
3. Miss Puerto Rico Mariana Paola Vicente
4. Miss USA Rima Fakih
5. Miss Russia Irina Antonenko
6. Miss India Ushoshi Sengupta
7. Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete
8. Miss South Africa Nicole Flint
9. Miss Trinidad & Tobago LaToya Woods
10. Miss Ireland Rozanna Purcell
