A black Barbie-doll! I wish that she will excel in catwalk… Miss Earth adores this type of beauty!

15th – Paraguay (Gabriela Rejala)
She is beautiful and I totally adore her! I am a bit off with her body though!

She is definitely strong and I think one of the best Colombian Miss Earth delegates!

She may not be as strong as previous Mexican delegates, but I love the competitiveness she is showing!

12th – Brazil (Larissa Ramos)

This Jordin Spark look-alike excelled in almost all areas: beauty + comm skills + personality + catwalk! I will not wonder if she will penetrate the Top 4 tonight!
