Miss Venezuela is
the 2008 Miss Universe winner
Miss Venezuela, Dayana Mendoza, was crowned the 2008 Miss
Universe in Vietnam on Sunday night. Miss Venezuela was one of
the five finalists, including the contestants from Colombia, the
Dominican Republic, Mexico and Russia. Dayana Mendoza, 22, burst
into tears when Jerry Springer (yes, the same Jerry Springer)
announced she won the prestigious beauty pageant. "Men think
that the fastest way to go to a point is to go straight. Women
know that the faster way to go to a point is to go to the
curves," was the answer Miss Venezuela gave to the question
of the difference between men and women, many considered the
winner. Miss Venezuela, Dayana Mendoza, was the favorite to win
the 2008 Miss Universe from the get-go with the online
sportsbooks, she was +625 odds to win with
Bookmaker, although many
bettors were hoping for an underdog victory, such as Japan's
Riyo Mori during the last year's Miss Universe.
An unfortunate event during the Miss
Universe was the Miss USA Crystle Stewart trip during the
evening gown presentation - she tripped on the train of her
bejeweled evening gown as she made her entrance. Crystle Stewart
became the second Miss USA in a row to take a fall during the
Miss Universe pageant, a fact the 2009 Miss USA should consider
before going on stage next year.
