Alexandria Mills

Like sports, has the ‘fixing syndrome’ entered the glamour world as well? If reports are to be believed, the results of the Miss World 2010 beauty pageant which crowned Miss USA Alexandria Mills as the new Miss World was fixed. Speculations were rife ever since the results were declared this Saturday and now it is being said that the judges at the event were under pressure from host country China to declare the US teenager as Miss World 2010.

It is further being said that Miss Norway Mariann Birkedal, who was till yesterday being referred to as the best contestant in this year’s competitions to win the pageant, was not even featured on the top five list because of the animosity that China harbors against Norway after the Nobel committee declared Liu Xiaobo as the winner of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. Taiwan too was not allowed to participate in this year’s pageant because China does not even consider the island country as an independent nation!
While many are of the opinion that every year’s pageant is politically biased, this year it was only politics which became the deciding factor in the last stages of competition. Though nobody Is sure about why China nominated Miss USA as Miss World 2010, the reasons for which the others were evicted were pretty obvious.
