  1. Wish she won Miss Universe 2020 instead of Andrea Meza! :[ She really did well on the swimsuit and evening gown and I don’t know why the judges preferred Meza over her! :’c I’m really rooting for her to win and I’m a huge fan of her! She’s almost perfect! Love her so much! ♥︎ You’re still the winner for me! ;]
