Default Miss Dominican takes 2nd place in MS. International.

Miss Dominican Republic came very close in winning the title for Miss international.

What is up with these people, do they know any other place than 2nd, 3rd or last?

Amelia Vega won in 2003.
If the acting career does not work out, you can guess where to find her!

Why do they call it Miss Universe if they don't have representatives from Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the rest of the planets?

How boring.......it seems to me all these contests tend to pick the same looking girl--all three look as if they could be sisters--and they're supposed to represent three different countries?! Come on.....I'm not saying they are not beautiful, because they are--but can we get some variety?
