The girl that won was the typical 'Latina' type of woman. It was allright I guess.

Noo, I don't think so at all. I think anybody not matter who they're appreciates beauty in any sense of the word. These girls are in fact beautiful and I don't see anything wrong with admiring that kind of beauty (physical). Of course there are other types of beauty maybe more important and escential for our lives but I don't personally think they are being showing off 'like a piece of meat'.
I thought the results were okay, I really don't know what is fair in these things since the real winner never wins because its all based on thoise silly percentage points. :
@max, I don't think it is a meat factory, most of the women are very intelligent too and in recent times most winners are degree holders or on their way to a degree. Is Mr. Universe a meat factory? :
