Riyo Mori to host Miss Universe 2008 Presentation Show

Miss Universe 2007's surprising winner Riyo Mori will host this year's Presentation Show (Preliminary Competition) happening tonight, July 08, 2008, in Nha Trang Town, Vietnam.

During the said Presentation Show, the 80 candidates will parade in their swimsuits and evening gowns as they fight for a slot in the finals.

The Personality Interview was already held yesterday at the Diamond Banquet Hall.

The Presentation Show and the Personality Interview are very important because it is when the preliminary judges determine who shall be included in the Top 15 semi-finalists, come Finals Night, July 14, 2008.

Any guesses on who will be part of the Top 15?
