Miss Philippines Earth 2011 Athena Imperial's chances in Thailand

Miss Philippines Earth 2011 has just wrapped up with Casiguran beauty Athena Mae Imperial as winner and will be the country's delegate in the Miss Earth 2011 pageant to be held in Pattaya, Thailand this November.

It will be the first time that the Miss Earth pageant will be held in Thailand and the 2nd consecutive year that it will be held outside the country.

Will it also be the 2nd consecutive year and the 3rd time that the Philippines will fail to enter the semis? Or Athena will be the Philippines' 2nd Miss Earth titleholder?

Mykiru is also conducting a similar poll for Shamcey Supsup, the Philippines' rep in Miss Universe 2011 pageant.

The poll, which opened a day after Shamcey won as Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2011, sees Shamcey Supsup as the next Miss Universe titlist.

Fifty-two (52%) of the voters believe that Shamcey will win the title, while 17% believe she'll end up as a runner-up just like Venus Raj who finished 4th Runner Up in Miss Universe 2010.

Some of the voters think otherwise. 11% of them are not hoping at all that Shamcey will make it to the semis.

Shamcey Supsup's chances in Miss Universe 2011 (as of June 7, 2011):
Winner 52.28%
Runner Up 16.98%
Unplaced 11.14%
Top 15 9.19%
Top 10 8.05%
Miss Photogenic 2.35%

10 candidates will be eliminated weekly until only 10 remain as final candidates during the pageant finale on June 5 in Puerto Princesa, with a live telecast still on ABS-CBN.
