The results of the Miss Earth 2009 pageant are just in and the title has gone to Miss Brazil with Miss Philippines in second, Miss Venezuela in third and Miss Spain in fourth place. Chanel Grantham, Miss Earth SA, earned her country's second Top 16 placement in three years when she advanced to the semi-final round. Unfortunately she failed to progress to the Top 8.It is interesting to note that, in spite of the fact that the pageant is organised by an Asian country, the contestants from the America's have dominated yet again with 4 of the Top 8 and 2 of the Top 4 hailing from that region. And just as in the Miss Universe pageant, the gorgeous, but more than likely unbelievably dull contestants from Europe have, once again, failed to impress and have filled the also-ran spots.
Another glaring omission from the Top 16 was the highly OVER-RATED representative from the USA. Her hoards of fans have already declared "war" on the Miss Earth pageant and will, no doubt, spend the next 12 months "dissing" everything with a hint of Filipino blood.
