Miss Venezuela Stefania Fernandez, 18 and stands 5'8", has won the title of Miss Universe 2009 in Bahamas becoming the 6th Venezuelan candidate to win the title.It's also important to note that she succeeded the title from last year's winner Dayana Mendoza who's also from Venezuela, a first in Miss Universe history.
With that, Venezuela is truly the #1 beauty powerhouse in the world.
Stefania and Venezuela have actually more in "common".
Aside from being Miss Venezuela and Miss Universe titleholders, Stefania's father was once a kidnap victim just like Dayana, who herself, survived a kidnapping incident before winning the crown.

During the Miss Universe 2009 Finals in Bahamas, Stefania almost didn't make it in the Top 5. In the Evening Gown competition which determined who would advance to the Top 5, Stefania was in 5th place.
She was 4th in the swimsuit round.
And it was actually Dominican Republic, Kosovo and Australia who performed the best both in swimsuit and evening gown competitions.
Stefania's witty response and poise under pressure during the Question & Answer portion helped her a lot in winning the Miss Universe 2009 title.

Except for having no Asian delagate and too much Europeans in the Top 15, this year's results are generally favorable.
Mykiru has correctly predicted 10 of the official Top 15 semifinalists, 8 of the Top 10 Finalists and 3 of the Top 5 Winners.
At one point on Mykiru's list, it was able to correctly guess four of the official Top 5. That was in August 15 list of favorites.
In fact, Mykiru mentioned there that the candidates from Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Australia, France, Puerto Rico, Kosovo and a few more showed above-average performances during the preliminaries. And all those aforementioned countries turned out to be the official Top 6 of the pageant.
Biggest "miss" this year is Miss Mexico Karla Carillo while the biggest surprise is Miss Switzerland Whitney Toyloy.
