* With a very strong group of contestants this year, judges had a tough time deciding for the winners in each category. For Miss Personality, for example, Miss Myanmar was just a vote behind Miss Philippines, who shinned like no one on both presentations, and Miss Turkey also did quite well. When it came the time for Top Model, the toss up was between Moldova (the eventual winner) and Russia. Miss Togo was also voted. Photographers who have been following the candidates since the beginning picked Miss Puerto Rico as Miss Photogenic, however, it was no easy task: Misses Latvia and Mexico came close behind. Miss Sweden’s election as Miss Elegance was nearly unanimous, although Miss Ukraine, who delivered a flawless presentation tonight, was also commented by the judges. All 4 titles were well deserved!

* Miss Puerto Rico was quite surprised and emotional when she heard her name announced as the winner of “Miss Photogenic”. She told GB she was very happy and stunned: “I never expected to win this title, I feel very happy”.

* Miss Philippines charm, smile and charisma were hard to match in tonights competition. She truly owed the stage and conquered the judges and the audience in Belarus.

* There were a few positive surprises tonight, girls who came to the surface after some very impressive performances. Some of these were Moldova, Serbia, Gabon, Switzerland and U.S. Virgin Islands. Miss U.S. Virgin Islands got thunderous applause from the audience!

* Some of the candidates may have gotten a bit over excited when stepping on the runway. Some clapped, others danced, others certainly exaggerated on their moves. Tone down, girls!
