Miss Universe 2023: Boy Abunda Was Called But Not Chosen

Filipino TV host Boy Abunda revealed that he was invited but disqualified from gracing the event with his esteemed presence as a judge. The revelation, akin to the unveiling of the eighth wonder of the world, left the world wondering, “Who could possibly disqualify the oracle of wisdom, the epitome of judgment?”

Some skeptics suggest that Abunda’s revelation was a well-calculated maneuver to bask in the controversial limelight already surrounding Michelle Dee, making it seem like a cosmic conspiracy against the dynamic duo.

Perhaps Abunda should consider trading his celebrity status for a pew in a Bible study, where he might absorb the timeless lesson that “many are called, but few are chosen.” It’s a bitter pill to swallow for the disqualified, a reminder that in the universe of judging, only the truly qualified get to wear the crown or don the judge’s robe.

Michelle Dee’s Miss Universe Awards A Hometown Decision?

At the recently-concluded Miss Universe pageant, Michelle Dee managed to scoop up an impressive four major awards, leaving spectators wondering if the competition had secretly been moved to her hometown. 

However, the irony was not lost on the audience when Dee failed to secure a spot in the coveted Top 5. It turns out that, despite the glitzy affair being hosted in El Salvador, the real battleground for victory was online, where Filipinos unleashed a tsunami of votes.

Dee’s triumph in said categories seemed to mirror a virtual hometown advantage. The Spirit of Carnival Award, the lone exception, added a dash of international flair, making it the only recognition not seemingly influenced by the digital power of passionate Filipinos. 

In the end, as Michelle Dee walked away without the Miss Universe crown, one couldn’t help but wonder if the real winners were the internet-savvy citizens of the Philippines.

Michelle Dee’s Family To Buy Miss Universe Organization?

The Miss Universe Organization is reportedly on the verge of being acquired by none other than Miss Philippines herself, Michelle Marquez Dee. 

This development comes right on the heels of Dee allegedly being a victim of a cooking show when she was deprived of a Top 5 spot.

The MUO, owned by Thai transgender activist Anne Jakrajutatip, has filed for bankruptcy protection in the days before the El Salvador pageant.

Unbeknownst to many, Dee’s family fortune isn’t just rooted in beauty and grace but extends to the realm of banking, as they allegedly own China Bank. Sources say that Dee, tired of the traditional route to the crown, has decided to take matters into her own hands and buy the prestigious pageant.

With the Philippine beauty queen’s family wealth backing her, Dee seems set to revolutionize the pageant world. 

Rumors are swirling that the swimsuit competition might be replaced with a high-stakes banking challenge, where contestants will be judged on their ability to balance a checkbook and navigate the treacherous waters of global finance. 

If the deal goes through, the Miss Universe Organization may soon find itself under new management, with beauty queens swapping tiaras for financial statements.
