I didn't mean to imply that you were joking, and I never thought you would attempt to make such a joke. However, I hadn't read the correct information at that time, so I was curious about what was going on. Upon revisiting the topic with a clear mind, I observed that prices ranging from 11,500 THB to 19,500 THB include the show for 2 people and a room (ranging from a superior room to a suite room), and there is also an option for an after party (although I'm unsure what that entails). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go look at the interview videos and see if you still like the Chinese one. I know we are all different in our choices but! I think Thailand and Spain are two of the better ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulci Gorgon Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 WTF ? I watched the video. I ddn't watch completely. The Chinese miss is very cute. The Spanish contestant is not Spanish. She's a second Brazilian contestant and she spoke Brazilian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just expressing an opinion that does not line up with yours. Strange way of replying. Note I did not say WTF, but I did not find the Chinese one cute at all! You mean the Spanish one spoke Portugese?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulci Gorgon Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Yes she did. She said she's from Brazil and she's going to speak Portuguese during the interview. When listening to her speaking Spanish in the video she made first, she has no Spanish accent and it's clear she's reading a text that she doesn't really understand. When she speaks "Portuguese", she speaks with Brazilian accent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Brazilians have an accent when they speak Portugese???. I have a couple of Brazillian friends. Would not know if they have an accent or not. I must admit, I am confused.

My understanding is that Brazilian Portuguese is somewhat different than what is spoken in Portugal perhaps more so than the difference between British English and American English.

Rom Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I speak Portuguese and I agree that there is more of a difference between Portugal Portuguese and Brazil Portuguese than between US and UK English. The difference is not so much the phonetics but the grammar that in Brazil deviates more from the colonizer than in America. Having said that, both Portugal and Brazil have a multitude of regional accents so you cannot make generalizations, but most non-natives say the Brazilian Portuguese (likely from Rio) is easier to understand than the Portugal Portuguese (likely from Lisbon).

It's more than that. I could catch in her introduction speech "Ola, tudo bem. Meu nome é Victoria Fernandes.Sou brasileira ... mais confortável falar português". These are the few words I could catch. It appears to me that she mixed Spanish and Portuguese. Nonetheless, the way she pronounced "confortável" is typical of Brazilian Portuguese and wouldn't be accepted in Portugal. What she says is confirmed by the YouTube subtitles when the translator speaks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 After all this discussion about accents, it does not change any opinions about looks which is where this started. We are all different in our tastes. I thought the Chinese one was very ordinary. My opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxpharm Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 A couple of more videos from MIQ - the first is the Thainess Fashion Show held at Autthaya (MIQ Contestants modeling Thai Fashion designer creations) The next one is the National Costume and Talent Quest - the points from these do not carry over into the finals night. https://www.youtube.com/live/GKIZHBIMvr0?feature=share&t=743 Note the video link above skips about 12 minutes of sponsors, which may be why it doesn't appear as a directly embedded video. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and each of us will have different favorites. No need to have a debate over your favorites! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a moderator here, my suggestion was because there has been an increasing amount of aggressive replies that has led to some forum members quitting. I suppose I should have been more specific to say no need to have aggressive debates about favorites. Everyone has an opinion, it is the style of expression of that opinion that determines if it is a positive contribution to the forum or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
