Netizens Remark: In your previous post on the finale of Caballero Universal 2022, you said, "One has to be tall to be competitive?" Are you serious? Andre was a good representative ... regardless of height or age.
Response: I have been singing hosanna in Andre Cue's name. As a matter of fact, this thread was written to follow him and his journey. Actually the line "One has to be tall to be competitive ..." was uttered by a Latina who emailed me as she shared her observations on the finale of Caballero Universal 2022. We believe what she said because she had been exposed to her country's selection process of their representatives before coming to America and by Latino standards height is a plus factor. Well ... not all the time ... but it is an element that gave them an advantage.
Did you see last year's winners of Caballero Universal Christian Narango Gomez of Spain and Luis Bermudez of Venezuela? Aside from being stunning and striking, both were leggy Towers of Power. By Filipino standards maybe being good-looking is enough, but we are talking about Latin taste here.
My Puerto Rican friend even said. Definitely, Andre is more handsome than say India or Puerto Rico so what prevented him from advancing? Could it be his height ... or his age perhaps?
And she elaborated: in Miss International, we are sending the prototype that they wanted ... of course, we can always send anybody ... but it is a tall order if they didn't match the stringent Japanese taste. Same with Miss Earth. Judging from the past winners of Miss Earth ... one common denominator aside from being beautiful is their being loquacious intelligent speakers in the protection of Mother Earth. So if we feel beauty and height are Caballero Universal template ... it would be foolish while wading in their pageant water to go against the tide or the current.
