In the end, Stefanía Fernández did the magic infront of a global TV audience. There were 83 participants and it was she who shone tonight in Bahama. She is now Miss Universe 2009. Well, in 2008, it was Venezuela who won and so a repeat took place in the first time in Miss Universe history.

Well, I was disappointed with the grand finale. It was some boring and there was nothing impressive. It lacked the charisma of a global beauty pageant. In fact, I felt that it was affected by economic recession.
