Nick VerreosHOST
It was like a Miss Universe.
Nick VerreosHOST
What did I say, Daddy David? It was like, to me, it reminded me of the final question at Miss Universe that always changes the judge's mind.
Nick VerreosHOST
You're like, oh, she was going to be the fourth runner up, but now she's the winner.
David PaulHOST
Yeah.

This is how you're going to see women who are able to compete very well in place and win over and over again, because they're actually thinking about what is the brand of the system? What type of title holder are they looking for? What does she represent? What does she stand for? What does she look like? And do I naturally have those things be a part of me? I'll give you an example.
MariaHOST
It's no secret that the Grand Slam systems like your Miss USA, Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss Supra, whatever system you're thinking about.
MariaHOST
Typically, they're called like the big four, big five.
MariaHOST
They're looking for somebody who has a very specific type of look, even if.
Ingrid CenturionHOST
They don't even know who they are anymore, right? I know some women that Um, they think they're ugly.
Ingrid CenturionHOST
And if you were to see them, you're like, oh my gosh, you could be Miss Universe, but they have to maintain such high standards.
Ingrid CenturionHOST
That is the emotional violence and how they become invisible.
Ingrid CenturionHOST
They don't even know who they are.

People may not know this, but the American territories can have their own Olympic teams, including their own soccer team.
Sarah IsgurHOST
You can compete in Miss Universe.
Sarah IsgurHOST
You don't have to be an independent country to have your own Olympic team.
Sarah IsgurHOST
So I'm just saying, Texas, what if [chuckles] we had our own Olympic team? That'd be really fun.

I'm familiar with w- what they have to do to prepare for it.
Ray ChewGUEST
Uh, and so yeah, the challenges are, are kind of the same, you know, when you're dealing with a TV production.
Ray ChewGUEST
And so I've, uh, I've also done, you know, shows like, you know, uh, Miss Universe and blah, blah, blah.
Ray ChewGUEST

Next, Vietnam's Miss Universe competition has banned transgender women.
Kev McGrathHOST
Comes barely two months after organisers specifically said they could compete as long as the participants' legal and medical documents were in order.

IndiGUEST
And she's not a stick figure.

Brittany Packnett CunninghamHOST
So School Girls is a comedy about a Miss Universe beauty pageant in Ghana that the school's popular girl, Paulina, really wants to win, but she feels like her chances are threatened from a new girl, Erica, from America.
Brittany Packnett CunninghamHOST
