Miss Universe 2011 in S.Paulo/BR.

I don't use to see beauty contests but this time I started watching and went until the final end.
 I didn't analyze too much, and althought Miss Brazil wasn't my favorite (as well as the other 4 weren't), I started to support her among those 5 girls that remained as the choices cause this girl is from P.Alegre(POA). I was thinking that maybe her victory would help to divulge our state, but anyway maybe that wouldn't help too much because Giselle Bundchen (as well as Shirley Malmann, Ana Hickman,ex-Miss Universe Ieda Maria Vargas and others)  are also from here, G.Bundchen is from a little inland village from our state called "Horizontina" , a few hours from POA and almost the whole world knows her, but nobody knows this part of the world exists. When I was a partner in a society, we had an employee that was from her city, he was a friend of her family and he knew her when she was a child. From there she went to São Paulo, in the beginning sharing an apartment with other girls.
The president of Bandeirantes network TV, the channel that broadcasted the Miss Universe 2011, (the man that appears on this video with the blue tie) , negotiated with Donald Trump to have the rights to transmit it, and he put as members of the jury people like Helio Castro Neves ??? (Formula Indy racer pilot) and Isabelli Fontana, maybe only because they work for Bandeirantes TV, the third TV channel in importance in Brasil.
