Love Janine. She did deserve to win that night. One of my fav gals from philippines.. after anna theresa licaros and andrea ramos.

Very basic.. she didn't even answer the question
I would have liked to hear a LONGER answer. The answer was short. She would have won if her answer was longer.
Actually she is the winner not Olivia 😊
