Things To Know About Miss Universe 2013; Who Will Bring Home The Coveted Crown?

On November 9, 2013, the world's most beautiful women will partake in the 62nd Miss Universe beauty pageant hoping to bring home the crown.

For this year's contest, it will be Russia's first time to host the prestigious event. It will be held at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow. Viewers from the U.S. can watch out for the live telecast on NBC TV as well as Telemundo beginning at 8 p.m.

Award-winning journalist Thomas Roberts and 'America's Got Talent' judge Melanie Brown will be hosting the glitzy affair. Miss Universe commentator Jeannie Mae will likewise give exclusive behind-the-scene clips to viewers. Recording artist EMIN and rock band Panic at the Disco will be performing in the event.

Last year, Miss U.S.A. Olivia Culpo brought home the crown followed by second placer Miss Philippines Janine Tugonon, and third placer Miss Venezuela Irene Soffia Esser Quintero.

With over 80 delegates, Miss Universe remains unmatched when it comes to the most watched beauty pageants. The contest began in 1952 as a local swimsuit competition in Long Beach, California. Years after, Donald Trump's organization made sure that it maintained its glamorous image.  

The contest includes evening gown competition wherein the Top 10 list is drawn as well as a swimsuit competition where the Top 5 finalists are chosen.

An online poll showing the photographs of the candidates are likewise chosen wherein judges reportedly get first dibs on the contenders.
