Every year there are girls who seem to catch the fervid attention and loyalty of fans but never quite the judge's. They seem to have it all and yet utterly fail. In 2011 (which to me had a much better batch of girls than this year's) Mary Jane Lastimosa and Diana Arevalo stood out on fan wish-lists. So passionate was the support you'd think the bitches had suddenly become straight.
But alas, from a 2011 2nd runner-up finish, 2012 had it even worse- MJ Lastimosa was not even in the top 5.
Even if Janine Tugonon hadn't done as well as she did in MU, the assumption that any of the other girls-MJ Lastimosa included- would have done better would still have been in the realm of conjecture.
We just wouldn't know. And yet beauty is such a gut feel that it's more than the sum of a pageant's parts and even my gut was not feeling for MJ Lastimosa or even the utterly boring Diana Arevalo. In 2011, I knew Shamcey was IT and yet was rooting for Patricia Tumulak and all those other girls who do try again, but this time, presenting something different on the table. It may be a new nose, but hey, I'll take a fake nose any day over the same old thing I had seen last year.
And there's also the matter of fitting yourself to the crown you want because we all know that the crown is picky on which girl's head it wants to sit on. Read an entry on this blog that explains it perfectly.
For 2013, the curse is possibly sitting next to Ariella Arida. A blogger describes her perfectly, ' she has a quiet impact at first. But can turn deadly the next..(normannormannormannormannorman)'
My gut feel is telling me that it's going to be a long fruitless wait.
