OFFICIAL RESULTS
Miss Universe Thailand: #MUT20 Sophida Kanchanarin
1st Runner Up: #MUT10 Thitaree Kasorn
2nd Runners Up:
#MUT11 Valentina Giardullo
#MUT12 Palita Jubjib
#MUT14 Praveenar “Veena” Singh
* There are three 2nd runners up in Miss Universe Thailand, same like in previous years.
SASHES&SCRIPTS PREDICTIONS
In terms of predictions I was almost on point. I got Thitaree’s 1st runner up position right, Valentina’s 2nd runner up placement right as well as Palita on my top 5, who also settled as one of the three ladies as 2nd runner up.
I did pretty solidly this year three correct placements out of 5, though I would have preferred it if my faves won. My heart breaks that my predicted winner Natharuetai Akkarakijwattanakul didn’t advance to the top 5 and got stuck in the top 10.
THE RUNNERS UP
I would say that this is perhaps the best looking set of MUT runners up in recent history. All four ladies are absolutely gorgeous! Valentina’s charm worked its way to her advantage and I believe she did her best.
She may still need polishing on some aspects but I truly feel that if she makes a comeback in the future, she has to be very well trained for it.
Veena wasn’t a surprise to make top 5 though her beauty wasn’t my cup of tea. Palita’s top 5 finish was not surprise either as she was on my radar for the last few days of the competition.
Sash Factor even placed her in their top pick to win. I have to give absolute props to Thitaree as she looked smashing in the finals. If I had my way she would have been the winner.
THE WINNER
Sophida Kanchanarin’s win was a surprise (and to some, a shock), but I wouldn’t discount the possible reasons why she won.
It may have been possible that her being educated in the University of Nevada, Las Vegas as well as being an investment banker might have been factors in her winning.
Her win was perhaps a strategic move for the org as her resume seems to be a meaty one. The 5’7″ has raw potential IMHO and I hope that it gets to be developed soon for the international competition.
