HOB'S MU ALL TIME FAVOURITES

HOB MU09 Favourite Delegate

It was not an easy decision for HOB to choose its favourite this time. There were a lot of beauties but just no stunners around. We were contemplating whether to choose Belgium, Australia or USA. Finally we settled for USA. Yes, it's Kristen Dalton. She is considered too sweet indeed, for a Miss USA and also showed a lot of personality. She may not be the best of the bunch but certainly a delegate worth watching.

HOB MU08 Favourite Delegate

Just like previous HOB's favourites, the lovely Taliana Vargas is easily spotted even before her arrival to Vietnam. With so many hot Latinas around (MU08 had the best batch of Latinas, Tali shone with her bubbly personality and excellent stage presence though she may not be as eloquent as the others. She's all that anyone could asked for, really!

HOB MU07 Favourite Delegate

The universe just keeps getting better with s
ome Honey around! No, we are not talking about honey that melts in your mouth but Honey Lee from Korea, who literally melted many hearts in Mexico. It was not difficult at all to notice this super sweet babe even in a sea filled with beautiful women.

When HOB first landed its eyes on Kurara, there was a definite answer that she will be the favourite. We call this the X-factor. Today, HOB is still standing strong with its decisi
