Will It Be Another Olivia versus Philippines in Miss Universe 2015?

 Miss Universe 2015 will beam live from Las Vegas on December 20

After Donald Trump sold the Miss Universe Pageant to WME/ IMG, expect the world's most popular beauty competition to introduce a few format changes and perhaps a new direction.

Miss Universe has found a new home too: FOX Broadcasting will beam the 64^th edition from Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, December 20.

EARLY CROWN FAVORITES

 LAST TWO STANDING? Miss USA & Miss Philippines

This early, pageant websites and blogs have installed the early favorites and they are in alphabetical order; MISS COLOMBIA, MISS FRANCE, MISS PHILIPPINES, MISS USA & MISS VIETNAM.

It would be a battle royale between two pageant powerhouses that are represented by battle- scarred pageant veterans. Olivia is the same  girl who wore the Miss United States sash in the 2013 Miss World Pageant won by our very own Megan Young while Pia is the girl who competed three years in row before clinching the right to represent our country in the Miss Universe Pageant. 

Of course, anything can still happen especially with the line- up of activities & pre- pageant events.
