Like most girls say that Paulina was already a decided winner , I don't see what's wrong in that as she completely deserved the crown .
The pageant was near perfect and though I would like to defend more points , I can understand miss thailands emotions.”
Miss Universe 2014, sure has been a ride of controversial incidences, ever since its commencement.
