After weeks of speculation and anticipation, Puerto Rico has a new queen, the beautiful Mayra Matos, Miss Cabo Rojo. Mayra bested 70 other delegates from all over the Island in what many consider a fierce battle of beauties. The first runner-up was Miss San Juan, another strong candidate.
Mayra will represent Puerto Rico in the Miss Universe pageant next year.
It was a exciting night even though us watching the pageant through WAPA America had trouble with the transmission. Quite annoying when we are paying extra to get this channel. Very disappointing after all the hype around this new channel.
The pageant was long with too many musical numbers and too much of the three hosts (including the gorgeous Zuleyka Rivera, Miss Universe 2006). The current Miss Universe, Dayana Mendoza was a a guest and a member of the panel of judges.
Through the competition, Miss Cabo Rojo and Miss San Juan clearly dominated, but it was the final question what determined the eventual winner. Mayra's answer had more content and she looked more confident.
After a weak swimsuit performance for Miss Cabo Rojo (she looked awkward in her maneuver of the veil), she excelled in the evening gown portion by wearing a flowing white dress that made her look like she was on the air. Her catwalk was impeccable and I knew at that moment that the night was hers. In my opinion, Miss San Juan had the best swimsuit performance and was great in her beautiful silver gown, but her answer was too quick and vague.
Matos represented Cabo Rojo at the Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2009 pageant where she won the title of Miss Puerto Rico Universe and won the award for "Most Beautiful Face
Congratulations to Mayra Matos for a well deserved win!
