Get Pageant Questions Written By A Miss Universe Judge








A total of 66 different countries have won at least one of the Big 6 beauty pageants – Miss World, Miss Universe, Miss International, Miss Earth, Miss Supranational and Miss Grand International.

But a very select group have won 10 or more titles in total. Which nations are they, and how have their fortunes changed over the years? All the answers are in Part 2 of my series, The Big 6 Showdown.

BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT “BIG FOUR” vs. “BIG 6”, PLEASE READ BELOW!

Due to a number of people claiming that “there is only a Big Four” and there is no legitimacy in a “Big 6”, I’ve felt the need to state the following, even though it’s outlined in my videos in this series.

* Having researched this topic extensively – not only in recent months for these videos, but over my time as a pageant fan – I’ve yet to come across any OFFICIAL designation, as agreed by the four pageants themselves, that group them as the Big Four. Yes, the Big Four has managed to have its own Wikipedia page created, but in perusing the attributed sources in that page, the majority of them refer to the pageants as “the four biggest”, or “four of the biggest” pageants. True, there are a couple of media reports that mention the “Big Four”, but I have failed to establish why some people claim that there is the “Big Four” that has been universally and officially adopted, and nothing else.

* The “Big Four” grouping has MU, MW, MI and ME together, with many people criticising my choice of including MS and MGI due to their age. However, if you used longevity as a sign of prestige, you need to look at all six pageants that I have covered and compare their longevity:

* Miss World (1951): 70 years old
* Miss Universe (1952): 69 years old
* Miss International (1960): 61 years old
* Miss Earth (2001): 20 years old
* Miss Supranational (2009): 12 years old
* Miss Grand International (2013): 8 years old

* Based on the above data, you would naturally group Miss Earth with Miss Supranational and Miss Grand International, not with the other three. I’m not saying I do, but it’s unsure why some people call the two youngest pageants “so new”, when Miss Earth is much closer in age to those competitions than it is to Miss World, Universe and International

* Before you make a comment about the “Big Four” being legitimate, and not a “Big 6”, PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO! Why? Because, between 2:40 and 4:00, I explain my reasoning for covering these six pageants, where I also say that I respect everyone’s decision to use different classifications, in the absence of a grouping officially sanctioned by the pageants themselves

In summary, I don’t claim that the “Big 6” is a grouping of any substance – I merely chose them because they appear to be the most popular pageants of the moment. All these groupings have been created by and for pageant fans, which is great. However, given there is not an official designation established by the pageants, there is unfortunately no justification to claim that “there is only a Big Four”.

I’m not questioning the “Big Four”’s existence, rather disputing that it’s the “only” grouping around.

I could’ve also included other long-running pageants such as Miss Intercontinental and Miss Globe, but I haven’t followed them to date so I didn’t have enough knowledge to include them.
