Is The Fix In On Miss Universe?

clipped from www.defamer.com.au

Information obtained by the Guanabee blog, in an exclusive interview with Michael Schwandt, choreographer of this year’s pageant, suggests that far from a purely scientific study of the looks, talents and poise of each contestant, one man’s preferences may be guiding the outcome of the race.

Then he does do something that’s a bit odd. At all the shows, he pops in the day before the telecast and we line up all the girls in alphabetical order behind microphones. And they say their name, age and country. Then we line them up in alphabetical order in one single file line across the stage. And he basically walks by and has an assistant that takes notes on all the girls. And it’s just kind of common knowledge that he picks six of the top fifteen single-handedly. So, the other nine of the top fifteen are judged in a preliminary show the week before and picked by those judges, but he picks six of the top fifteen.
