After the gruesome and nerve-wracking announcement, this is crucial for all candidates as they realized mixed emotions: some were defeated and the others tasted a sneak of winning; but the contest was just starting. The girls then went backstage and started to prepare for another exciting part of the evening: the swimsuit competition.
The judges. Before the competition started that evening, hosts Natalie Morales and Brett Michaels introduced the judges one by one:
They are: Nikki Taylor (international supermodel), William Baldwin (actor-producer), Chynna Phillips (singer-songwriter), Evan Lysacek (Olympic champion), Tamron Hall (NBC anchor), Chazz Palminteri (Oscar nominee), Jane Seymour (Golden Globe and Emmy winner), Criss Angel (master illusionist), and Sheila E. (queen of percussion).
Swimsuit competition. The ever-stunning swimsuit competition was accompanied by the stars of "Viva Elvis" by Cirque du Soleil - a perfect soundtrack for this year's swimsuit parade. The candidates wore swimwear of Dar be Dar by Tala Raasi and footwear by Nina. They look great in lavender bikinis ornamented with silver designs. The average combined scores were shown to home viewers.
Puerto Rico sported a wave-curly hair. Her catty look and flirty moves created sexy ambiance on stage. This excellent move scored 8.443 and not bad for a start.
A pretty face combined with a nice body, that is Ukraine. Although she failed to create a little play with her silver robe, she managed to mesmerize the audience. Those tiny efforts scored 8.333.
Even if she looked small onstage, Mexico exuded her sweetness all throughout the swimsuit parade. Her shoulders played a big part for a successful catwalk. The 9.265 score is really sweet for her.
Quite pale performance for Belgium. The strokes of her hips seem slow and less energetic. The judges might came boring with her to score 7.571 in average.
Stunning, that is the word for Ireland. She knew what she had to do onstage while wearing a swimsuit plus high heels while carrying a silver cloth. A great projection deserve a high score, more than 8.784.
Not that whistle-blowing and a little stunner, South Africa's posture probably saved her in the competition. She looked good in a swimsuit yet not of her best. Well, she deserve the judges' 8.229 for an average score.
Just too fast for France. A short runway might be not suited for her. Great hair, pretty face but speedy walk. Running the runway ended with 7.586 for the judges.
Ending the first half of the swimsuit parade is Australia. Young, fresh-looking... a little chubs yet with an innocent face, that would smash a powerful aura. Scoring 8.543 was a proof of a youthful catwalk.
Jamaica knew how to drop off with the music. Great catwalk synchronizing with a smooth turn was her big plus in this swimsuit competition. With an excellent performance, a score of 9.426 is well-deserved.
Less energetic Russia came down the stage. Still, her curves managed to do it. But somehow, her overall performance was less impressive finishing a score of 7.843.
The performance of Albania is not of an extraordinary but her flowing hair plus curvaceous hips is barely noticeable. Moreover, a pouting 8.229 score help a lot in exuding stage attitude, a tie with South Africa.
Rehearsed-style of swimsuit catwalk might seem not work that night for Colombia. A great body of less presentation was not that much effective with a score of 7.643 - stating there are lesser impressed judges.
Much to everybody's surprise, Guatemala showed maximum improvements in the entire pageant. She was much beautiful during the finals compared to preliminaries and 8.071 score was surely a consolation.
The fighting spirit might be off for Czech Republic. Her face somehow was in the fighting form. Her nervousness sprung her luck to a score of 7.429 and locking her to a big time low.
When you speak of fighting form, here was the Philippines. A very confident lady boomed the runway and wowed the audience with her exotic beauty. Ever wonder if an 8.957 score suited her performance.
Viva Las Vegas! The music suits the swimsuit parade very well. After the eye-popping swimsuit was the announcement of the top 10 ladies who made it for the next cut. A much more intense competition came right after.
