Natalie also talked about some of the contestants and why she thinks that these candidates can become the next Miss Universe."Philippines is an absolute doll, she is just as cute as a button, she is very beautiful," Glebova said of Maxine Medina.”However, I would like to see a little bit more from her, in a sense that...I think she needs to believe in herself a little bit more? Believe that she can bring a back-to-back victory for the Philippines. I want to see a little bit more determination and just knowing that she has it," Glebova added.
Glebova also talked about Miss Australia Caris Tiivel and said that she is one of her favourites for the title. Talking about Tiivel’s beauty, Glebova said that she looks like she just came fresh from the beach. Praising Miss Brazil, Glebova mentioned that Santana has a great stage presence.
