Miss Universe 2011 Top 16 Semi-Finalists Announced: Malaysia fails to enter semis

The Miss Universe 2o11 Top 16 semi-finalists have just been announced during the pageant finale being held at the Credicard Hall in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Monday evening, September 12, 2011 (September 13, 9:00 AM Manila Time).

The Top 16 were generally fine as most of them were really deserving to be part of the list.

There's no really huge surprises except probably for Portugal and Colombia (but not what much) and it's so much surprising that the top favorite for the crown, Miss Malaysia Deborah Priya Henry, has been shut off from the list.

(Mykiru's list was able to guess 11 of the 16 semi-finalists)

Portugal by the way was the winner in the MissUniverse.com online poll which secured her the 16th slot in the semi-finals.
