Rachel Peters among Missosology's hot picks for the 66th Miss Universe

The Philippines' candidate to the 66th Miss Universe pageant Rachel Peters is among the top Final Hot Picks of pageant website Missosology. 

Asking resident pageant experts and seasoned analysts to single out top contenders of the biggest pageant of the year is a yearly tradition for Missosology.

Miss Thailand Maria Poonlertlarp was on top of the list followed by Miss USA Kara McCullough on second and Miss Venezuela Keysi Sayago on the third spot.

Peters was named as the fourth strongest candidate. Missosology noted of our seven-year Top 5 streak: "we are expecting that trend to continue with Rachel whom we have observed as the Miss Philippines who never gave her fans the reason to worry," writes Missosology. 

Days prior to the pageant, Peters' evening gown photo was leaked online but that didn't put off her eyes on the prize as she continued to prepare for the upcoming coronation event. Her trainer mentor Rodgil Flores said, she will have a 'pasabog' on the big day.

Following Peters are Miss Mexico Denisse Franco, Miss South Africa Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, Miss Russia Kseniya Aleksandrova, Miss Iceland Arna Yr Jonsdottir, Miss Brazil Monalysa Alcantara, Miss Indonesia Bunga Jelitha, Miss India Shraddha Shashidhar, Miss France Alicia Aylies, Miss Jamaica Davina Bennett, Miss Spain Sofia Del Prado, Miss Peru Prissila Howard and Miss Japan Momoko Abe.

Over 90 candidates from all over the world are set to compete on the Miss Universe coronation event at The AXIS Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, United States on November 26 (November 27, Manila time)
