down to our top three finalists and I

worked hard for years preparing for this

various levels of the selection process

throughout this week and now here you

are facing one more challenge the final

question round we'll ask each of you the

same exact question while one finalist

answers the other two will wear

soundproof headphones each of you will

have 30 seconds to give your best answer

and if you go over time you'll hear this

sound and an interpreter will be

provided if requested and that time will

not be counted in your 30 seconds this

is your big moment ladies deep breaths

because your answers will help the

selection committee determine who will

become the next Miss Universe let's get
