Miss Finland Universe 2009- Essi Pöysti

eja wrote:Miss Finland just ended here in sweden-delayed on Ftv-and I must say it´s a looong show with only the last 30 min live or so.
Anyhow, this year the viewers voted the winner for the first time since the beginning of Miss Suomi.
The 10 finalists have been touring the country for a month or so, doing fashion-shows and meeting the finnish people.
Essi was the top-girl along with Elsi trough the whole pageant, Elsi won Iltalehtis Readers choise award, but Essi won the public in the end. The jury choose the two runner-ups, to compete in Miss International etc.

Myself I hoped for Pauliina to win, she didn´t even make top 5(?!)
Nice evening-gowns, really nice!!! And the new crown was interesting.
The old one got stolen some months ago but was found at a drug dealer or something like that...
But they already designed the new one and stayed with that.

Not to many people in the audience as is usual in Miss Suomi but tomorrows newspapers will be filled with pictures-Finland still know how to apriciate their Miss Suomi!!

and why not start right away by saying few things about our new Miss Finland and her runner's up.
It's a shame I only found this board this week and not two weeks ago, cause I have been in a very good place to judge our girls for
the last two years, since I have been working for the missfinland.fi websites blog.

So two weeks ago I was at the semifinals and got the chance to meet with all the girls and also got to see few of the girls who didn't make it to the finals. This happened on friday and then on saturday there was the official photoshoot where it was interesting to watch some girls really work for the camera. Then others were a bit scared and hold back. But after watching them, my pick for the crown was clear

ELSI SUOLANEN!!!!! Wow wow wow wow wow wow
What a cat!! She was AMAZING!!

That is why I was a bit surprised whe reading some comments here where some of you said that Elsi came as a total surprise for you?!
WHAT? How can that be? Clearly she was the best working on different poses for the camera. Also her catwalk is miles ahead the others. :-107--:

Essi Pöysti is a good winner. Pretty and what I call MEGABABYYYYY

Elsi and Essi was the favourites all the time to win Miss Finland.
Linda was not a crowd favourite, but she has a great personality and I'm sure she charmed the judges and that's why she got chosen 2nd ru.

I don't like this that the people got to chooce Miss Finland. What they saw on TV did not give the right picture. For crying out loud, there
wasn't even a real swimsuit round, which I'm really dissapointed about. How can you choose a winner if you don't judge the body as well
