00:00:41 Hello PEPsters! Good evening to all of you. It's that time of the year again for PEP's Best Bets for 72nd Miss Universe this year.

00:00:55 My name is Bernie Franco and here are my PEP colleagues. Guys, introduce yourselves.

00:01:02 Hi, I'm Arnielle.

00:01:09 Hi, I'm Arnielle.

00:01:10 Hi guys, my name is Shino.

00:01:16 Hi, I'm Rachel.

00:01:22 Hi PEPsters!

00:01:26 I'm Jose.

00:01:28 Oh my gosh!

00:01:30 You're the one who's not talking.

00:01:35 I'm excited guys. We're back with our fearless forecast for Best Bets Miss Universe Edition.

00:01:46 And here are our pageant enthusiasts, right? Bernie, Nico, Arnielle.

00:01:53 I'm just the one who's on the side.

00:02:00 And of course, PEPsters, we're excited to share our observations tonight because we were able to follow it.

00:02:07 I personally am not an expert in pageants but of course, we were able to follow the events of Miss Universe 2023.

00:02:17 And I think Shino as well, we were able to watch it during the preliminary pageant.

00:02:27 Correct. I'm sure that you PEPsters have your own best bets.

00:02:34 It's nice to compare notes on who will be entering the competition and hopefully, the winner will be the crown.

00:02:42 And of course, we're hopeful that Michelle will win this Miss Universe edition.

00:02:50 Correct.

00:02:54 Okay, so let's start. What will we do first, guys?

00:02:59 Okay.

00:03:02 So who will be the top 10 or top 20?

00:03:11 The thesis presentation will start.

00:03:16 Go! Of course, let's start by shortlisting because we have a lot of candidates, 80 plus.

00:03:26 And let's start with the shortlist before we go to our top 5.

00:03:30 Let's start one by one.

00:03:32 What photos will we flash here? Just tell us if you're in the top 10 or what are your observations about their performance.

00:03:44 And PEPsters, please don't forget to share your comments with us.

00:03:48 Feel free to do so on YouTube, Facebook, and are we also on Kumu?

00:03:55 Yes.

00:03:56 Okay, are you ready? Who will be the first candidate?

00:04:01 Columbia.

00:04:09 Who will be the first candidate?

00:04:13 I'll be the first.

00:04:14 Same with me.

00:04:16 Of course, we know.

00:04:19 It's like she's not even born yet.

00:04:21 And we know that Columbia is also one of the powerhouses when it comes to Miss Universe.

00:04:34 Their performance is consistent.

00:04:40 Okay, what can you say to the candidates?

00:04:43 Oh, wait.

00:04:44 Niko, do you have a comment for Miss Columbia?

00:04:49 She's not here.

00:04:53 She doesn't have a voice.

00:04:56 Don't you have a pencil there?

00:05:03 PEPsters, please don't be shy. We have a lot of events coming up.

00:05:08 Especially Niko.

00:05:10 I think he's still learning sign language.

00:05:13 I'm just kidding.

00:05:16 I'll just give thumbs up or thumbs down.

00:05:20 Okay.

00:05:21 Columbia is really a bomb.

00:05:22 I must say, her form, her walk, her audience impact, especially in Latin countries.

00:05:34 For me, she's in my short list of top 10.

00:05:38 Tell me if you guys want to move on.

00:05:46 I want to say something to Columbia.

00:05:49 What I'm looking for when it comes to prelims is a consistent performance in categories like swimwear and evening gown.

00:06:01 That's why I chose Columbia because her performance is consistent in both categories.

00:06:07 That's why she's a standout for me.

00:06:09 I'll go.

00:06:12 Okay, go.

00:06:15 I think Columbia is the mom.

00:06:18 This is the first year that they are actually allowing this aside from other qualifications.

00:06:25 I do want to see her reach the top because this season is breaking barriers.

00:06:35 It would be refreshing to see newcomers who are breaking barriers to be part of the top list.

00:06:43 So that the message can be amplified that beauty comes in all forms, sizes, and age.

00:06:52 Nico has something.

00:06:56 He's gone.

00:06:58 Oh my gosh, he has a sign board.

00:07:01 Let's read it.

00:07:03 She shines consistently throughout.

00:07:07 That's true.

00:07:11 That's true.

00:07:13 That's a go-ahead.

00:07:14 It's okay.

00:07:16 When she's on stage, people are amazed by her.

00:07:21 Her smile is beautiful, her walk is beautiful.

00:07:25 Even her swimsuit and gown.

00:07:28 I noticed that there's a difference in performance.

00:07:33 Her walk in the swimsuit is full of energy.

00:07:39 But when it comes to her evening gown, it's very queenly.

00:07:44 The one with a sign is Corona.

00:07:48 That's Columbia.

00:07:50 Okay, let's go to the next.

00:07:52 Okay.

00:07:53 This is Pia's face.

00:07:58 Correct.

00:07:59 I just noticed that.

00:08:02 Look, they really look alike.

00:08:08 Pia looks good with a tan.

00:08:11 Let's flash Pia.

00:08:14 Yes.

00:08:16 What did she say?

00:08:17 "Bodge, Pia works back," said Nico.

00:08:22 Right? Even her face, her expression, and her color.

00:08:31 Aside from her pink, exotic appearance,

00:08:38 she's an award-winning dancer in India.

00:08:42 That's the advantage of a contestant.

00:08:48 She knows the rhythm of the body.

00:08:50 If you've noticed during the swimsuit competition,

00:08:55 she twirled.

00:08:57 That's an advantage of a contestant

00:09:02 because she knows how to walk and project as a contestant.

00:09:08 And she's a good dancer.

00:09:11 She's physically fit.

00:09:15 Right?

00:09:16 I like her. She's in my top 10.

00:09:21 Ethin commented.

00:09:25 What did she say?

00:09:27 "Nicol is so good at whiteboarding. She's good at fanning."

00:09:32 Right?

00:09:33 She has a good voice.

00:09:36 That's why she's good at speaking in Filipino.

00:09:40 India is so beautiful.

00:09:45 I must say.

00:09:46 Fairness.

00:09:48 Okay.

00:09:49 Do you have anything to add?

00:09:51 Nico has something.

00:09:52 He's writing something.

00:09:54 Shoutout to Ethin.

00:09:56 He's an artist.

00:10:00 He's giving a shoutout.

00:10:02 There's one more.

00:10:03 Kim won.

00:10:05 What did she say?

00:10:08 She said, "I couldn't be more excited. I like her."

00:10:13 City said, "She's really a Philippines."

00:10:18 Of course.

00:10:21 City also wrote a Tornado.

00:10:24 I didn't read it.

00:10:25 You should do a tumbling so it's more like a tornado.

00:10:28 Tornado?

00:10:30 Maybe it's a tornado.

00:10:32 Okay.

00:10:33 Let's explain that.

00:10:35 We also saw Kim.

00:10:38 She has a shoutout.

00:10:41 What did Kim say?

00:10:43 She said, "I couldn't be more excited. I like her."

00:10:49 That's it.

00:10:51 Okay.

00:10:52 That's it.

00:10:53 That's crazy.

00:10:54 Share your comments.

00:10:56 We'll read them.

00:10:58 We want to know what you think.

00:11:00 We'll flash the comments.

00:11:03 Let's just chat.

00:11:04 Okay.

00:11:05 Let's move forward.

00:11:07 USA.

00:11:12 Okay.

00:11:13 USA is also beautiful.

00:11:15 Her skin is beautiful, too.

00:11:18 USA is half American and half Venezuelan.

00:11:23 In a way, she's also half Latina.

00:11:29 A lot of them really look like Latina.

00:11:32 I think that's the secret.

00:11:36 For us, Tin looks like Latina.

00:11:45 Her form is beautiful, especially in her swimsuit.

00:11:48 It's very visible.

00:11:49 Her red gown is beautiful.

00:11:52 She's one of those who looks good in red gowns.

00:11:56 Arniel's comments are so random.

00:11:59 Bernie said not to make this long.

00:12:09 Bernie, what can you say about USA?

00:12:14 Yes, her performance is consistent.

00:12:17 What I like about USA is that she's good at answering questions.

00:12:21 But, of course, it's quite difficult for her

00:12:25 because we're talking about back-to-back wins.

00:12:29 Actually, she's my sixth place in the top five.

00:12:36 Why didn't you include her?

00:12:43 There are too many.

00:12:44 Because the other candidates are also strong.

00:12:50 They're all good, but it's just that

00:12:54 who's the better one?

00:12:56 So, it's really difficult.

00:12:58 I only made the top two.

00:13:00 You'll know who it is later.

00:13:04 Chino, what can you say about Miss USA?

00:13:08 Tin is prettier.

00:13:10 Just kidding.

00:13:12 You're so annoying.

00:13:13 I can say that she looks Hispanic.

00:13:19 If I'm not mistaken, the last winner was African-American from USA?

00:13:30 Filipino.

00:13:32 Filipino-American.

00:13:34 Was he from Albany?

00:13:36 Yeah.

00:13:38 But they also had a representative that was African-American before.

00:13:44 I'm just not happy with America because it really goes to show

00:13:48 that it's also a melting pot because of their representatives.

00:13:52 Their beauty is different.

00:13:56 That's all I can say about USA.

00:14:00 I'm waiting for my top two to come out.

00:14:06 In fairness, he's the one with the bullying.

00:14:09 Advocacy?

00:14:11 He made a book.

00:14:13 A children's book.

00:14:14 So, Arniel, do you have any additions for Miss USA?

00:14:24 I won't add anything because I want the next one.

00:14:27 Next candidate.

00:14:31 Hi!

00:14:32 He's the crowd favorite now.

00:14:35 Miss Nicaragua.

00:14:38 Who's the first one?

00:14:40 She's in my top two.

00:14:43 Why?

00:14:45 She's so beautiful.

00:14:48 During the national costume portion, she had a lightening effect.

00:14:57 She went down to the floor.

00:14:59 She flew.

00:15:03 She's graceful in her movement.

00:15:05 MJ Lastimosa tweeted.

00:15:09 I confirmed that it's really her account.

00:15:11 She was messaged on their group chat.

00:15:16 Why?

00:15:17 She was asked if her representative was a good one.

00:15:22 And true enough, the battle will be intense because Nicaragua is a good one.

00:15:29 Someone said, "Michelle's love for Lalamuna is true."

00:15:33 Oh my gosh!

00:15:34 They have short hair. That's why they're in my top two.

00:15:38 She has short hair.

00:15:42 Yes.

00:15:44 They're both good at projecting.

00:15:47 So, two keys in a pond for me.

00:15:50 I would like to see the two of them head to head.

00:15:54 Head to head.

00:15:55 Boxing.

00:15:58 That's it.

00:15:59 Yes, Tita.

00:16:01 In relation to what Shino said earlier, usually, the ones who join the Philippines are half-half.

00:16:10 So, I'll comment on Nicaragua.

00:16:14 The only disadvantage I see about Nicaragua, unlike the other Latina candidates who were fluent in English

00:16:25 If you noticed, the previous years, the Latina beauty queens were also fluent in English.

00:16:32 Nicaragua is not that fluent, although she can express herself in English, but not as good as the others.

00:16:45 It would be better for a contestant, since English is a universal language, to ask her in the Q&A, the answer that we can understand.

00:16:57 But, possibly, I think Nicaragua, if she can enter the Q&A, she will use a translator.

00:17:08 Yes.

00:17:09 I have a question though, to our experts.

00:17:13 Did you win a contestant who has a translator?

00:17:17 Of course, there are a lot.

00:17:19 There are a lot.

00:17:20 Name one.

00:17:21 It's hard.

00:17:23 I was just about to say that, actually, I agree with Bernie, because I also heard some of the videos of Nicaragua

00:17:34 that she's okay, but she's not that fluent in English.

00:17:40 But, of course, we also know that she's not that bad in terms of winning the crown, if she's good consistently in terms of

00:17:52 whether she checked the performance in the swimsuit, in the Q&A, whether she expressed her good thoughts,

00:17:59 whether she used a translator.

00:18:02 So, that's also what I'm actually waiting for, if she will enter, how she will overcome that hurdle.

00:18:10 She will enter.

00:18:13 She will enter.

00:18:15 What do you think? Niko, he's thinking.

00:18:17 Oh, nothing.

00:18:21 But, I agree with him.

00:18:24 I think he's one of the consistent ones who shined because he's very tall.

00:18:29 There are a lot of people who passed in the heights, in the paquembot, who are good candidates.

00:18:35 But, he's consistent in terms of his charm and his beauty, he's not in a hurry.

00:18:41 His pasarela is very dragging, or actually not dragging, taking her time.

00:18:49 You're an example of taking your time.

00:18:53 No, he's really taking his time but he's a todoquembot.

00:18:57 So, in fairness to him.

00:19:01 And I like how he's smiling the whole time.

00:19:05 Actually, even the not-cos, it's like a scene where he's showing that he's good.

00:19:14 His body is soft in what he did.

00:19:17 Yes.

00:19:18 You want me to do it, but he's also good.

00:19:23 There.

00:19:24 So, go.

00:19:27 Oh, the comment. Read it.

00:19:29 Oh, there's a comment.

00:19:30 Yes, I also laughed at Jainal's comment.

00:19:34 "If Nicaragua is a good person, he won't be absent in Voice for Change. He's number 3 in votes, but he's not there."

00:19:43 Correct, Jainal.

00:19:44 Actually, that's also what I saw.

00:19:47 And we know that based on last year, advocacy is something that the judges looked for during last year's edition.

00:19:57 So, that's also what I want to look for, if there's bearing for Young Voice for Change this time.

00:20:08 Advocacy is a big factor if it's genuine.

00:20:12 Because what they're doing now is transformational leader, something like that.

00:20:17 Beauty queen.

00:20:18 Right.

00:20:19 If the purpose of an advocate is really substantial, it matters a lot.

00:20:31 Because if it's genuine, it's not just that he started last year.

00:20:36 It should be a long time ago, right?

00:20:38 Because maybe he just won a case and he's already joining that organization.

00:20:44 But no, they're really looking for if he's been in that advocacy for a long time.

00:20:51 Which is animal rescue, right?

00:20:54 Nicaragua's kind.

00:20:55 Okay.

00:20:56 Okay.

00:20:58 Do we have anything else to add?

00:21:00 Next.

00:21:01 Next.

00:21:02 Next.

00:21:03 Wait.

00:21:04 Young Voice for Change.

00:21:06 It's hard to speak.

00:21:07 Bonico, please explain.

00:21:09 Maybe there's a language barrier with the panel.

00:21:14 So, it's hard for him to explain his advocacy.

00:21:22 Or just mental health.

00:21:24 His advocacy is mental health.

00:21:26 I'm not sure.

00:21:27 Sorry, guys.

00:21:28 Is it mental health?

00:21:29 I thought it was animal.

00:21:31 Go.

00:21:35 Okay.

00:21:39 There.

00:21:40 Okay.

00:21:41 Next candidate.

00:21:42 Accordingly, Jainal said, is the pronunciation right?

00:21:47 All of the Voice for Change had an interview.

00:21:50 If his advocacy is authentic since he's not a Makuda.

00:21:54 That's why he's gone.

00:21:57 Jainal is contesting the Makuda.

00:22:01 It's a good point.

00:22:03 Mj Lastimosa said that in a group chat.

00:22:06 I didn't say that.

00:22:08 He tweeted that.

00:22:10 Makuda is subjective.

00:22:12 Correct.

00:22:14 Okay.

00:22:15 Next.

00:22:16 Here it is.

00:22:20 Here it is.

00:22:24 This is what fans are waiting for.

00:22:27 What can we say about Michelle?

00:22:30 For me, in the swimsuit portion.

00:22:37 To me, she was the strongest.

00:22:40 She gave the strongest performance.

00:22:42 You call me biased but for me, it's really wow.

00:22:46 As in, the projection.

00:22:49 Maybe there are more sexy ones than her.

00:22:52 But for me, her projection is spot on.

00:22:55 Right.

00:22:59 And I loved her choice of swimsuit.

00:23:02 Because the cuts are different.

00:23:04 Her is really very flattering in her form.

00:23:08 And it's a high cut.

00:23:10 My gosh.

00:23:11 Whatever she does, her turn.

00:23:13 My gosh.

00:23:14 You can really see her lean and swelt.

00:23:18 And Michelle has a form.

00:23:21 She's beautiful.

00:23:22 She's a fighter.

00:23:24 You can't tell that she's far away.

00:23:26 Actually, pink.

00:23:27 She's amazing.

00:23:31 Right?

00:23:32 She's beautiful.

00:23:33 She started strong here.

00:23:35 And she showed her long-leggedness.

00:23:38 She's again.

00:23:39 Correct.

00:23:40 To Mommy Melanie.

00:23:44 And when Nica Ragua did a side-by-side,

00:23:47 and this is Philippine.

00:23:49 Nica Ragua, because her outfit is pink,

00:23:54 her start is sweet.

00:23:56 Michelle, because her outfit is red,

00:24:02 her start is striking.

00:24:04 That's why Ate Mo's smile is really beautiful.

00:24:07 But they finished it at the same time.

00:24:10 Their time was just right.

00:24:11 I feel like they have a timer.

00:24:13 I wish she had red lipstick here to look stronger.

00:24:18 True.

00:24:23 She's not wearing red there.

00:24:25 You can't see it here.

00:24:26 No.

00:24:27 It's a bit faint.

00:24:28 But her legs are really beautiful.

00:24:31 Michelle is a model.

00:24:34 Here.

00:24:36 Correct.

00:24:39 Someone's asking,

00:24:41 "Are the judges and the selection committee the same?"

00:24:46 Usually, it's the same.

00:24:49 Or there are two people who are removed,

00:24:51 or two people who are added.

00:24:52 Wait for the announcement.

00:24:55 Jainal said,

00:24:58 "If there's a best in swimsuit,

00:25:00 it's probably us."

00:25:01 MMD is really powerful.

00:25:03 And it's perfect for the color of the swimsuit

00:25:05 and the body of our MMD.

00:25:07 Watching from Hulusulu.

00:25:09 Wow!

00:25:10 Wow!

00:25:11 Hi!

00:25:12 Hi!

00:25:13 Hello!

00:25:14 Be careful there in Mindanao

00:25:17 because there's an earthquake.

00:25:19 There was an earthquake earlier.

00:25:20 Oh my gosh!

00:25:21 Okay.

00:25:23 Shoutout to Amelia Coywa

00:25:25 who's watching our Best Bits now.

00:25:28 How are your buildings, Chika?

00:25:31 It's okay.

00:25:34 It's okay.

00:25:36 It's okay.

00:25:37 It's a family end.

00:25:39 Okay.

00:25:40 Nice to hear that, Chino.

00:25:43 Okay.

00:25:44 Chino, do you have a comment for Michelle?

00:25:48 For Michelle,

00:25:50 I'm really looking forward to the Q&A

00:25:53 because she's a very articulate person.

00:25:57 Something we saw when we were in the Philippines.

00:26:01 What I want to see from her

00:26:07 is her answer aside from her articulation.

00:26:10 A bit of warmth.

00:26:12 I think that warmth will help

00:26:17 to see her sincerity.

00:26:20 Because she comes off sometimes too smart.

00:26:23 And sometimes too smart might be intimidating for some.

00:26:30 So I hope her answer will be more warm during the Q&A.

00:26:36 Pageant fans are saying that Michelle is using a mic.

00:26:41 So our wish is for her to be in the top 10

00:26:48 for the Q&A portion.

00:26:50 That's what Chino said.

00:26:53 Michelle has known for a long time

00:26:55 that she's full of relatable.

00:26:58 That's why she joined MAPH.

00:27:00 That's her focus for development.

00:27:04 And we saw that growth.

00:27:06 Now, how she can help people,

00:27:11 her fellow candidates,

00:27:13 and her advocacy.

00:27:19 There. I'm done. I'll remove the close-up.

00:27:24 You, Bernie.

00:27:27 I'll just add the evening out before I finish.

00:27:32 I want her to be a bit more tamed.

00:27:34 Because her O.A. in Miss Universe Philippines,

00:27:37 we all know that.

00:27:39 Her hands were like this.

00:27:43 But here, it's just right.

00:27:46 She reduced her hands.

00:27:47 She reduced it.

00:27:48 Here, the tamed is just right.

00:27:49 That's why it came out well.

00:27:50 Although, you admitted that you were underwhelmed with the gown.

00:27:53 But when I saw her in the pictures,

00:27:56 she's really pretty.

00:27:58 I saw a vlogger in El Salvador

00:28:03 who said that the gown is really pretty in person.

00:28:06 But the focus was not on the light.

00:28:08 The light really hit her.

00:28:10 That's why your light is gone.

00:28:14 Yes, my light is gone.

00:28:16 I agree.

00:28:19 There are things like that.

00:28:20 Personally,

00:28:25 there are certain expectations.

00:28:27 Sometimes, the traditional ones are really glamorous.

00:28:30 Glittering.

00:28:31 Sometimes, the person is different.

00:28:34 You just watch it on the screen.

00:28:39 So I really hope that you saw it.

00:28:41 Because if you look at it closely,

00:28:43 the details of the gown are really nice.

00:28:49 But what I realized is,

00:28:53 Michelle is trying to be fashion-forward.

00:28:58 She's bringing something new to the table

00:29:01 that is not the usual chandelier gowns.

00:29:05 But this one,

00:29:09 it's a model.

00:29:13 It's different.

00:29:15 Wait, Charlie Rekha has a comment here.

00:29:20 I'm a bit offended.

00:29:22 Is it?

00:29:23 Oh my gosh!

00:29:29 What is that?

00:29:30 We can't read that.

00:29:32 I'm sorry.

00:29:34 This is what Relly asked.

00:29:37 Wait, Lawrence.

00:29:39 Okay, it's your turn.

00:29:40 Who?

00:29:44 Go, Charlie.

00:29:45 Relly asked this first.

00:29:48 Relly said,

00:29:49 "How do you want to see Michelle on her gown

00:29:52 and styling in terms of the color of the gown,

00:29:55 makeup, and hairstyle on the final night?

00:29:58 Watching here in Dubai,

00:29:59 even if it's raining and there's a lot of traffic."

00:30:01 We're also international, guys.

00:30:06 Dubai.

00:30:07 From Holo to Dubai.

00:30:09 Hi, Relly.

00:30:10 Be careful of the rain.

00:30:12 Watching.

00:30:13 Best bets.

00:30:14 Guys, who wants to answer?

00:30:16 How do you want to see her?

00:30:18 What do you want her to show on the final night?

00:30:22 I don't have a comment on her hair styling

00:30:26 because you can only do so much with that hair.

00:30:29 You can only do a little with that.

00:30:31 We'll let her make her decision.

00:30:34 She can do a sweepback or a wavy.

00:30:37 It just fits with the outfit she'll wear.

00:30:43 I have a comment on her presence.

00:30:46 It's only the first day of the competition.

00:30:50 Sorry for my dog.

00:30:54 The dog has a comment.

00:30:59 The dog said,

00:31:01 "Don't request long hair because Michelle is already cut.

00:31:06 So, don't request long hair."

00:31:08 Her long hair is nice.

00:31:10 It fits her as long as it fits her

00:31:13 and her performance is nice.

00:31:15 We don't have anything against her.

00:31:17 What do you say, Arniel?

00:31:19 I can feel her presence.

00:31:22 It's only the first day of the competition.

00:31:24 It's the first day of her activities.

00:31:26 It's not like the last time.

00:31:27 We're looking for pictures.

00:31:29 There's nothing.

00:31:31 Are you talking about someone, Arniel?

00:31:34 No.

00:31:36 It's not like the last time.

00:31:37 The last time?

00:31:39 The last year.

00:31:41 I don't remember.

00:31:45 We didn't bash Arniel.

00:31:49 I just felt it.

00:31:53 I'm just kidding.

00:31:55 I have a comment on Relly's question.

00:32:00 It surprised me.

00:32:03 Michelle studied her look and details.

00:32:12 That's all I wanted to see.

00:32:18 I'm just looking forward to her look in the grand coronation.

00:32:28 I'm super proud of her.

00:32:33 If the pageant is looking for a transformational kind of leadership or beauty queen,

00:32:43 Michelle is perfect.

00:32:45 She checks all the boxes.

00:32:47 For her to showcase her autism,

00:32:52 it's something that's very relevant.

00:32:55 There are many families who go through that kind of journey.

00:32:59 She personally experienced it.

00:33:02 It's great that we can learn more about it through her.

00:33:06 Who's your top 5?

00:33:09 Vanessa, we'll talk about that later.

00:33:11 Share your top 5 later.

00:33:13 Correct.

00:33:14 Show us your top 5.

00:33:16 Correct.

00:33:18 Share your observations on the candidates we'll show.

00:33:23 Shoutout to a viewer from Japan.

00:33:29 Charmisette.

00:33:31 Wow! She's a kabugera.

00:33:34 She's different from the Filipinos around the world.

00:33:37 She's excited about the pageant and super supportive of Michelle.

00:33:41 Correct.

00:33:45 Teresita Guzon is saying something.

00:33:52 The designer of MMD said that her final gown is about two iconic women.

00:33:59 Who's that?

00:34:01 Have you heard of that?

00:34:02 I haven't.

00:34:04 Okay. Let's wait and see.

00:34:07 Wait and see.

00:34:09 Her prelims gown is inspired by Win Win and M.I.

00:34:14 Melanie.

00:34:16 She'll wear a green gown.

00:34:20 It's beautiful.

00:34:22 She's different.

00:34:23 Chino is cute.

00:34:26 That's my comment.

00:34:28 Matthew Manuel said, "Chino, you have fans."

00:34:32 Chino has fans.

00:34:34 It looks like he put something in the comment.

00:34:37 The viewer is laughing.

00:34:40 This is J.R. Paulo.

00:34:48 "The most distinct MMD and MD USA are the possible last two standing."

00:34:54 USA and Chino.

00:34:58 He said USA.

00:35:00 Sorry. I'm the only one who remembers.

00:35:03 Michelle Nicaragua and...

00:35:06 That's it. He said top two.

00:35:08 For me.

00:35:09 So, what about you, Bernie?

00:35:11 Let's watch the next one.

00:35:15 We'll watch the next one later. It's not in the top five yet.

00:35:17 Wait.

00:35:18 Chino is excited.

00:35:20 Jinal said, "The green one makes you breathe."

00:35:26 "That's why it's rare for an MRL green person to wear."

00:35:29 "But I think it's better to wear it personally."

00:35:33 "Way back in 2016, during Maxine Medina, her gown was MRL."

00:35:38 "In the prelims, all Filipinos were satisfied because they witnessed the gown."

00:35:43 "Anyway, to those who say they're not satisfied with the gown, but for me, I'm satisfied with the gown."

00:35:49 Yes. Truly Jinal.

00:35:51 Okay. Let's go to our next candidate.

00:35:54 We'll go back to Michelle later. We'll watch her for sure.

00:35:58 Hi, to the people of India.

00:36:00 Puerto Rico.

00:36:04 Hi, Puerto Rico.

00:36:08 Actually, I'm one of the...

00:36:10 Did I share that?

00:36:12 Yes, I shared it with Puerto Rico.

00:36:15 I chose Puerto Rico because...

00:36:19 His performance was so good.

00:36:23 I was happy. The yellow gown was very striking to me.

00:36:27 His gown is yellow, right?

00:36:29 Oh, no. It's Peru. Sorry.

00:36:32 Puerto Rico. Carla Acevedo.

00:36:37 What I like about her is her advocacy about suicide.

00:36:44 I think she was one of the ones who joined the Voice for Change.

00:36:50 If I'm not mistaken.

00:36:52 I also like her performance of swimsuit and evening gown.

00:36:58 That's why I mentioned her.

00:37:03 Did I write anything about her?

00:37:06 What did I write about her?

00:37:08 That's all for now.

00:37:10 Okay, next.

00:37:13 Do you want to say something, M?

00:37:16 I bet that she's one of the ones.

00:37:20 Her performance is consistent.

00:37:23 She can communicate well.

00:37:26 She can express herself well in English.

00:37:29 It's a plus point for me.

00:37:33 She was the first runner-up of the Miss Supran Award in 2021.

00:37:39 I read about her later.

00:37:41 I saw her and I thought that she can also speak.

00:37:45 Fairness. Okay.

00:37:47 There.

00:37:48 Okay, next.

00:37:50 Next candidate.

00:37:54 South Africa.

00:37:59 She's also Latina.

00:38:02 She's not a Latina.

00:38:05 She's of Indian descent.

00:38:08 So, South Africa.

00:38:14 But she's of Indian blood.

00:38:17 Her gown is beautiful.

00:38:18 She thinks she's from India.

00:38:22 I don't know if they'll believe me.

00:38:28 But South Africa is beautiful.

00:38:32 Yeah.

00:38:33 For me, actually,

00:38:35 we weren't required, but for me,

00:38:38 she's in my top three.

00:38:40 Aside from her consistent performance,

00:38:44 she can speak well.

00:38:47 She's one of the ones who really speak up.

00:38:51 And then, what she says is full of essence.

00:38:55 Which is not surprising because

00:38:57 she is a lawyer.

00:39:00 If I'm not mistaken.

00:39:02 Yes, she's a lawyer.

00:39:04 I really like her gown.

00:39:07 There, Teresita is saying that Michelle D

00:39:15 was interviewed about her gown.

00:39:17 What did she say?

00:39:19 Let us know.

00:39:20 There.

00:39:23 There's also...

00:39:26 Who else will say something about South Africa?

00:39:29 Nothing?

00:39:30 Nothing.

00:39:31 Okay, let's move on.

00:39:32 I also noted her in the beautiful gown.

00:39:35 Okay, next.

00:39:37 We'll talk about top five later.

00:39:39 But please share your comments, Pepsters.

00:39:42 Correct.

00:39:44 Okay, next.

00:39:45 Oh.

00:39:47 Thailand.

00:39:49 These are the...

00:39:50 Hi!

00:39:51 The best things to have.

00:39:54 Really in the pageant.

00:39:56 Really in the pageant.

00:39:58 Okay, what can you say about Miss Thailand?

00:40:04 I'll go first.

00:40:07 Her performance is okay.

00:40:10 Consistent.

00:40:11 But I didn't see anything new.

00:40:12 And...

00:40:16 The mod is new here.

00:40:19 But overall,

00:40:21 same.

00:40:23 But her MUT is good.

00:40:25 And she's good here.

00:40:27 Although I felt like...

00:40:29 Like in the evening gown,

00:40:34 she moves her mind

00:40:36 when she's second-guessing her steps

00:40:39 or what she's going to do.

00:40:40 I noticed that it's a bit...

00:40:43 Is it a turn?

00:40:46 Or when she stopped in the middle...

00:40:49 Oh, in the "ga-a".

00:40:50 The stop.

00:40:51 Yes, that part.

00:40:54 But that's too nitpicking for me.

00:40:57 But okay, she's beautiful.

00:40:59 What can I say about her beauty?

00:41:01 Go, Arniel!

00:41:05 I know Thailand is your favorite.

00:41:07 But I hope she gets better at the gown.

00:41:10 What I like about her is...

00:41:14 She's good at speaking English.

00:41:17 And she's good at performing.

00:41:23 She's been living in 8 countries

00:41:25 before her family came back to Thailand.

00:41:30 She's not in "Voice for Change".

00:41:34 No.

00:41:35 She's not in "Voice for Change".

00:41:37 Actually, I noticed that she's one of the good ones.

00:41:43 But there are so many good ones.

00:41:47 You know, you really need...

00:41:50 Every moment is not wasted.

00:41:53 Every second.

00:41:55 In terms of showing off what you can give.

00:42:00 As for me, Thailand is one of...

00:42:06 Well, obviously, she's one of the favorites.

00:42:09 She's a candidate.

00:42:11 And then, she's a winner.

00:42:13 Correct.

00:42:15 She's a title holder as a Supra national.

00:42:19 Yes.

00:42:20 And because she's a pageant veteran,

00:42:23 the important aspects of a pageant,

00:42:29 she knows how to walk, look, project.

00:42:33 And...

00:42:34 Very good when she talks.

00:42:38 Actually, she's one of the top three.

00:42:41 I want to see if she can sustain it until the coronation night.

00:42:48 Until the coronation night.

00:42:49 And Michelle is a BFF.

00:42:55 That's one of the trending stories.

00:42:59 They can make their rivals explode.

00:43:03 Like the Air of Rennie.

00:43:05 But why is it that Thailand has a tendency to be an "el to cuyo"?

00:43:09 Matthew said.

00:43:15 Jerbert said, "There's no wow factor in the gown."

00:43:18 "The swimwear of Thailand is so fat."

00:43:23 That's what Jerbert said.

00:43:27 Okay.

00:43:30 I like what she said.

00:43:35 Jerbert said,

00:43:36 "The swimsuit doesn't work with her body type."

00:43:43 "The swimsuit of MUT is beautiful."

00:43:48 Maybe that's why some people are saying,

00:43:51 I read something on her Twitter,

00:43:53 that her performance is better.

00:43:55 But who knows, maybe she'll make it to the finals night.

00:44:00 Eric said,

00:44:02 "Thailand is just holding back on the premiums."

00:44:04 "She's going to explode on the finals."

00:44:06 There.

00:44:07 She also...

00:44:08 What do you call it?

00:44:09 You know when to...

00:44:11 When to pick.

00:44:13 The Filipino pageant fans don't like it.

00:44:17 Correct.

00:44:18 I read something on Excel.

00:44:21 They said, "Michelle is so good."

00:44:23 "She avoided the 'no one to pick'."

00:44:26 Right?

00:44:28 Okay, go.

00:44:32 Last.

00:44:34 It's next, right?

00:44:35 Is it the last one?

00:44:37 Who's that?

00:44:38 It's with Arnie.

00:44:39 There's more.

00:44:40 There's more.

00:44:41 It's like B2Win promoted.

00:44:43 He should've been the one to clean up.

00:44:45 Costa Rica.

00:44:50 Costa Rica.

00:44:53 I think I was with her.

00:44:55 I was with her because

00:44:58 I like her performance.

00:45:00 She's one of those...

00:45:03 I like her walk.

00:45:07 I like her walk and her gown.

00:45:09 Her performance is beautiful.

00:45:11 Later on, when I was thinking about

00:45:15 what to do in Costa Rica,

00:45:19 I realized I wasn't in the top 5.

00:45:22 I remember Costa Rica.

00:45:27 Her dress was beautiful but then

00:45:29 she had the green train.

00:45:32 Which the pool is from.

00:45:34 You don't like it?

00:45:35 It's so...

00:45:36 It's okay if there's no one, right?

00:45:38 Yeah.

00:45:39 I like her walk.

00:45:42 The one I put here.

00:45:44 Her walk in the swimsuit.

00:45:47 What's the walk?

00:45:50 I don't know.

00:45:51 It's very subtle.

00:45:52 I don't know how to do it.

00:45:53 I like the "tin" part.

00:45:54 Like a dog.

00:45:55 Tin.

00:45:56 Like a dog.

00:45:57 Like a tin.

00:45:58 Yeah.

00:45:59 You know, that level.

00:46:01 Let's watch this.

00:46:03 Let's watch this.

00:46:07 Oh my gosh.

00:46:08 I put that.

00:46:10 I was shocked because I like the performance.

00:46:13 I don't like Matthew's comment.

00:46:18 I laughed because...

00:46:19 It's not that bad.

00:46:21 Matthew said,

00:46:24 "When you peak in the prelims and finals,

00:46:27 you already did it twice.

00:46:28 Peek, peek."

00:46:29 What's that?

00:46:30 I was shocked, Matthew.

00:46:33 I was shocked at that point.

00:46:36 I was shocked.

00:46:37 I was shocked.

00:46:38 I was shocked.

00:46:39 Arnel called me.

00:46:41 Oh my gosh.

00:46:42 I'll call Pop.

00:46:44 I'll call her.

00:46:45 I'll call her.

00:46:46 No.

00:46:48 Jai said,

00:46:49 "It's not that I'm bitter towards Antonia.

00:46:51 She's not that kind of person.

00:46:53 She's so annoying.

00:46:55 She's so careless.

00:46:57 Because her dad..."

00:46:58 What does that mean?

00:47:00 Okay.

00:47:02 Anyway.

00:47:04 Let's move on.

00:47:05 Dad, what?

00:47:06 Dad, what?

00:47:08 Okay.

00:47:11 Guys, share your top 3.

00:47:13 We'll flash them later.

00:47:14 Or top 5.

00:47:15 Okay.

00:47:18 Next.

00:47:19 Ecuador.

00:47:23 Who chose Ecuador?

00:47:25 Oh my gosh.

00:47:28 Maybe me.

00:47:29 I think it's me.

00:47:30 I think it's me.

00:47:31 I remember Katriona.

00:47:33 I like her walk.

00:47:35 I like her...

00:47:37 Was she in my swimsuit?

00:47:40 Yes.

00:47:41 Usually, the ones I like in swimsuits and gowns are the ones I choose.

00:47:46 Her performance is beautiful.

00:47:47 And she's so beautiful.

00:47:48 She's pretty.

00:47:49 That's what I can say about Ecuador.

00:47:53 Maybe because...

00:47:54 Like India...

00:47:55 Who's Miss India?

00:48:01 I remember one of the Miss Universe winners.

00:48:04 Her charm and beauty.

00:48:07 She's not the most beautiful in terms of performance.

00:48:14 But she has a charm.

00:48:16 That's why I chose her.

00:48:20 Okay.

00:48:21 If you don't have anything else to say, next candidate.

00:48:25 What about her?

00:48:30 Guatemala.

00:48:31 Is this Guatemala?

00:48:36 I think it's me.

00:48:38 Is it right?

00:48:41 I think they have the same design of Michelle's gown.

00:48:45 The same design.

00:48:47 Is it the same?

00:48:49 Yes.

00:48:50 It's not cut out.

00:48:52 It's not cut out.

00:48:53 It's not cut out, right?

00:48:55 It's not cut out.

00:48:56 It's a combination of two colors or something.

00:49:01 If you see it, it's not cut out.

00:49:04 There's a cutout in the middle.

00:49:06 Is there?

00:49:07 There's a difference between the two.

00:49:09 I think it's cut out.

00:49:13 Very form-fitting.

00:49:17 Her walk is beautiful.

00:49:18 I want to have that kind of gown.

00:49:23 What?

00:49:25 How is it?

00:49:26 It's not chandelier.

00:49:28 Fringe.

00:49:31 Fringe.

00:49:32 Sorry.

00:49:33 As a lifestyle.

00:49:35 What color is that?

00:49:37 Pink.

00:49:38 Don't tell me.

00:49:39 Let me know.

00:49:40 I just want to have that color.

00:49:42 I'm sorry that I'm making you color blind.

00:49:46 That's it.

00:49:50 That's the only gown that South Africa will buy.

00:49:53 What?

00:49:55 The winner of the gown is Zozy Beanie.

00:49:58 Yes.

00:50:00 Is she one of the mommies?

00:50:04 Or not?

00:50:06 Yes, she's one of the mommies.

00:50:08 Mother of two.

00:50:09 Mother of four.

00:50:13 Children.

00:50:15 It's nice.

00:50:17 Like what Chino said earlier.

00:50:20 We have these candidates.

00:50:22 Miss Universe is very inclusive.

00:50:25 Okay.

00:50:26 Next.

00:50:27 You're not done yet?

00:50:34 Okay.

00:50:36 This means we're now down to our top five picks.

00:50:42 Pepster, this is your chance.

00:50:45 We're still going to get confused.

00:50:47 Let's look at the comments of the Pepsters.

00:50:50 Correct.

00:50:52 Before we share ours,

00:50:54 Unknown.

00:50:56 Philippines, Thailand, Nicaragua, Mexico, and South Africa.

00:51:02 You're close.

00:51:05 Yes, that's strong.

00:51:07 Okay.

00:51:08 Colombia gave an A game, said JR.

00:51:16 Top three for Relly.

00:51:18 Australia, Nicaragua, and Philippines.

00:51:22 Australia is good.

00:51:24 Why is El Salvador not there?

00:51:27 Didn't you put a picture of El Salvador?

00:51:32 Do you like El Salvador?

00:51:34 He's friendly as a host.

00:51:37 He's in the top 20.

00:51:40 Wow.

00:51:41 But as a host country,

00:51:44 I feel like there's a chance

00:51:47 that we'll see El Salvador in the first cut.

00:51:52 I heard something about El Salvador.

00:51:55 What did you hear?

00:51:57 The gown he's wearing

00:52:00 is for Miss Dominican Republic.

00:52:04 What happened?

00:52:08 They're roommates.

00:52:10 The designer prioritized El Salvador.

00:52:14 This is according to the cousin

00:52:17 who did the livestream after the preliminaries.

00:52:21 Oh my gosh.

00:52:23 That's intense.

00:52:25 I can't verify the news.

00:52:27 I'm just seeing it spread to the fans of Miss Universe.

00:52:32 Miss Dominican Republic is...

00:52:35 What are you saying?

00:52:37 They're on a private plane to El Salvador.

00:52:42 There you go.

00:52:45 The gown of Miss Dominican Republic is beautiful.

00:52:49 I like it.

00:52:52 I noticed that it's for Miss Dominican Republic.

00:52:54 The gown is for Miss Dominican Republic.

00:52:56 This is JR Paulo.

00:53:00 He's in the top 5.

00:53:01 Philippines, USA, Nicaragua, South Africa, and Colombia.

00:53:06 Wow.

00:53:07 This is for Nico.

00:53:09 This is Nico.

00:53:10 Top 5.

00:53:11 Philippines, Nicaragua, Colombia, South Africa, and Pakistan.

00:53:17 Why did you say Pakistan?

00:53:19 Actually, Pakistan is in the picture.

00:53:23 We didn't include him.

00:53:24 But he's good.

00:53:26 Yes.

00:53:28 Yes.

00:53:29 There you go.

00:53:30 This is the first time of Jemoyn in the 72 years of Miss Universe.

00:53:36 Correct.

00:53:37 His performance in the prelims was really memorable.

00:53:43 In the swimsuit, although it's very refreshing because all the swimwear is covered in his segment.

00:53:57 But when it comes to the gown, he showed his skin.

00:54:03 But it's great that he's in the competition.

00:54:09 He's in the top 5 of Nico.

00:54:12 He's good in speaking.

00:54:15 He has an advocacy.

00:54:16 I think he has a good advocacy.

00:54:17 Is he in the top 5?

00:54:19 There you go.

00:54:20 Beautiful.

00:54:24 Yes.

00:54:25 For an honor.

00:54:26 His gown is Filipino designer.

00:54:28 It's very proud.

00:54:29 Read Nico's listicle on PEP.

00:54:31 It's very proud that other candidates from other countries are getting Filipino designers.

00:54:43 Okay, next.

00:54:49 Do you have any more comments?

00:54:52 We give our top 5.

00:54:55 We can give our top 5 now.

00:54:58 Okay.

00:54:59 Who wants to go first?

00:55:02 Chino?

00:55:04 Top 2.

00:55:06 He's just in the top 2.

00:55:07 I have...

00:55:08 Top 5 actually.

00:55:14 It's already top 5.

00:55:15 Oh, I just remembered.

00:55:16 Go ahead.

00:55:19 I mentioned Philippines and Nicaragua.

00:55:24 The third one is the same with Nico.

00:55:28 It's good that he's on the list of Pakistan.

00:55:31 I realized that the pageant should be a symbol of change.

00:55:38 It would be refreshing to see Pakistan join for the first time.

00:55:45 To actually showcase what they can bring to the competition.

00:55:49 And then my fourth would be El Salvador.

00:55:54 It's already a given.

00:55:55 I didn't notice him in the swimsuit and the evening gown.

00:56:02 But during the national costume, he's the first one I noticed.

00:56:08 Because his costume has a light.

00:56:11 And then my last would be Miss Nepal.

00:56:16 Because she's not your typical.

00:56:23 But then again, this year it's different.

00:56:25 And based on her performance, she has showmanship.

00:56:30 She's the one who threw the dub of the national costume.

00:56:36 That's Embutido.

00:56:37 That's Embutido.

00:56:39 That's Embutido.

00:56:41 So to me, she's really trying her best to stand out the best way possible.

00:56:49 They enjoyed it.

00:56:51 That's what I enjoyed about Miss Nepal and Miss Bahrain.

00:56:55 Miss Bahrain really enjoyed it.

00:56:57 Oh, Miss Bahrain.

00:56:59 The dance.

00:57:01 Ah, your classmate.

00:57:03 Yes.

00:57:06 Crush is so tall.

00:57:08 It's fun to see the first-timers, because the rules have changed,

00:57:14 to be able to enter and see what they can actually bring to the table.

00:57:19 So that's my top 5.

00:57:21 You.

00:57:26 Oh, this one.

00:57:28 Correct.

00:57:34 Ariel, last year, was Kuya Burns.

00:57:37 Oh, Ariel, Pinky, and Kuya Burns.

00:57:40 Karagua, Philippines, El Salvador, my third is Thailand,

00:57:46 and my fifth is Colombia.

00:57:48 Because it's like she's not even born yet.

00:57:52 And then, when she's on stage, she's so tall.

00:58:00 Oh.

00:58:01 That's all.

00:58:06 Correct.

00:58:09 Okay.

00:58:10 I'm the one who's crazy.

00:58:13 I chose the top 5.

00:58:15 Who are they?

00:58:17 Oh, really?

00:58:18 That's it?

00:58:19 That's it?

00:58:20 As is.

00:58:21 PH, Karagua, Puerto Rico, Peru, and Chile.

00:58:26 So definitely, for me, I liked the performance that was consistent for me in the swimsuit and...

00:58:36 What do you call this?

00:58:38 Evening gown.

00:58:40 So they're the ones I really liked.

00:58:43 The performance was good, and at the same time,

00:58:47 we shared the Philippines, we fought for them, they liked it.

00:58:52 So, of course, I'm definitely the top one.

00:58:55 I want to win Michelle for her advocacy and her talent.

00:59:01 But at the same time, the other possible ones for me,

00:59:05 not in order,

00:59:06 Karagua because she's really pretty,

00:59:09 Puerto Rico, I like her, and Peru and Chile because I like their advocacy.

00:59:19 I wrote that down.

00:59:20 I wrote that down.

00:59:22 So Puerto Rico, Suicide.

00:59:24 Peru, the story of Peru is really good.

00:59:29 She had a brain issue or she had a child's illness,

00:59:36 so she couldn't continue her dream of going to the Olympics.

00:59:41 But you see, look at it now, even though her life was put in danger several times,

00:59:46 she still made it to Miss Universe 2023.

00:59:53 So, "Help is wealth."

00:59:55 I like that.

00:59:57 It's really simple, but the fear,

01:00:00 there's an explanation, just watch it on Miss Universe YouTube.

01:00:05 It's really good.

01:00:06 So, at the same time, Chile,

01:00:10 she has adopted siblings and she's now championing immigrant children.

01:00:21 So, I like them.

01:00:26 They fought for their lives and I hope they can share that in case they win the pageant.

01:00:38 There.

01:00:40 Okay.

01:00:41 So, actually, we have some pepsters who are sending their top five.

01:00:48 Let's share it before you.

01:00:50 No, before you since you're the expert here.

01:00:54 Expert!

01:00:55 Oh, I'm not an expert.

01:00:58 You're a co-pink, you're going to get me in trouble.

01:01:05 Okay, let's read the other comments.

01:01:08 Who's in the other comments?

01:01:10 Arnielle's comment.

01:01:12 Bernardo.

01:01:16 "I hope we can watch it."

01:01:19 Oh, it's about the schedule.

01:01:21 Yes, we read it in the morning, guys, on Sunday.

01:01:25 Gorgonia Tribiana, have you seen it?

01:01:29 Not yet.

01:01:30 "His best bets are the Philippines, Nicaragua, South Africa, Thailand, and Mexico."

01:01:36 Okay.

01:01:44 Funny Chino said, "Chino is really sensible. He's cute. I agree with everything you said."

01:01:50 Is this you?

01:01:52 Knock-knock.

01:01:55 This is our livestream.

01:01:57 Some of us have a hidden agenda.

01:02:01 We're really going to do something.

01:02:03 Just kidding.

01:02:04 Chino's friend is in front of us, commenting.

01:02:07 Someone's sending a shout-out.

01:02:10 "First time here, from Mid-Sayap, North Cotabato."

01:02:13 And his top five, Jinx Love, are Nicaragua, Colombia, Thailand, South Africa, and of course, the Philippines.

01:02:25 Hi, girl.

01:02:27 Thanks for watching.

01:02:29 You can see that the Philippines and Nicaragua are common denominators for us.

01:02:34 Correct.

01:02:37 So, this is my top five.

01:02:39 I'll give it to you.

01:02:40 But before I say, "Hello, FK," she's laughing at our livestream.

01:02:47 She's laughing.

01:02:50 So, my top five are the Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, Puerto Rico, and Nicaragua.

01:03:01 Most of them are consistent.

01:03:07 Not all of them are consistent.

01:03:08 Not all of them are always on top.

01:03:11 Some are good at swimwear.

01:03:16 One is good at gowns.

01:03:17 One is good at projects.

01:03:18 Not all of them are consistent.

01:03:20 But to me, as I said earlier, at the start of this, they are the ones I see as consistent.

01:03:27 And then, they're good at performance, in the categories, and then, mostly, they're good at speaking.

01:03:36 So, to me, they are a complete package.

01:03:40 There's a big chance that Miss Universe will win.

01:03:47 So, there.

01:03:48 There, PEPsters.

01:03:52 I hope you enjoyed tonight's Best Bets edition.

01:03:56 And I hope we can still have you with us.

01:03:59 On Sunday, while we're making updates on pep.ph and our socials on PEP,

01:04:07 because we're watching and having a viewing party that morning, guys.

01:04:13 Fight, Michelle D.

01:04:15 Good luck to us.

01:04:21 Good luck. Good luck. Good luck on Sunday at 9 in the morning, guys.

01:04:26 We have a lot of people joining us.

01:04:28 Thank you for your comments, guys.

01:04:30 Good luck.

01:04:31 I'm really wishing for Michelle to win.

01:04:34 Any last words from you guys?

01:04:37 Mico, Chino, Arniel, and Bernie, before we say goodbye?

01:04:42 Okay?

01:04:43 Okay.

01:04:44 All right.

01:04:46 Bye, PEPsters.

01:04:48 Bye. Thank you for watching.

01:04:51 Thank you.
