Dominican Republic's Ada de la Cruz is consistently great!

HOT FAVORITES FOR MISS UNIVERSE 2009 (4th list)
(Based on Mykiru's scores and Fun Poll Results)
As of August 14, 2009

Miss Dominican Republic Ada de la Cruz may not be the #1 favorite for Miss Universe 2009 (unlike in Miss World 2007) but she has been doing consistely so good in the pageant and is actually considered as every candidate's closest competitor.

On Mykiru's list of favorites, Ada is always in the Top 5 alongside Mexico and Australia.

During the last two events of Miss Universe 2009 (swimsuit and fashion show), Miss Dominican Republic performed so well in both events making her one of the crown-worthy candidates this year.

Miss Mexico Karla Carillo, who topped Mykiru's list three times, has given up her post to Puerto Rico's Mayra Matos, who was actually the #1 pre-pageant favorite for Miss Universe 2009.

Making a big move on the current list is Belgium's Zeynep Sever who has gone up to #12 from #21 on the previous list.
