After skipping three editions of the Miss Universe pageant, Egypt will be back in the global competition, thanks to a Filipino publicist and magazine publisher who secured the North African country’s franchise for the global tilt.
No Egyptian woman has ever captured the Miss Universe title. And Yugen is optimistic that Egypt will make a huge comeback in the competition this year. “I cannot say anything more about it because we are still in the process. But we already received hundreds of beautiful women who auditioned,” he shared.
As he revealed in an earlier interview, the Bahrain search will employ a reality competition format. But it will no longer be held in the Philippines. “It will be shot in Bahrain, and a few scenes will be shot in an exclusive island. Unfortunately, we cannot shoot in the Philippines because of the logistics, it’s a bit far,” he explained.
He said conducting a reality competition is consistent with the Miss Universe Organization’s thrust to innovate in the world of pageantry. Responding to a question from INQUIRER.net, Yugen said, “Miss Universe is a leading legacy brand when it comes to innovation. Before mothers cannot join, wives cannot join, but now they can join pageants. And I feel that Miss Universe is open to changes and flexibility.
