"Welcome to the Miss Universe 2011. Indonesia is a country rich in culture. As a miniature of Indonesia, Jakarta has nearly all the cultures of Indonesia," said Fauzi, while welcoming the Miss Universe 2011 in Jakarta City Hall.
According Foke, in the Miss Universe contestants all have the same opportunities, in representing their respective country. "The elected definitely the best. We also have representatives from Indonesia who is also from Jakarta is Nadine. We wish him success at the polls, but maybe others have the advantages of each," he said.
Foke said Laila in the election of Miss Universe 2011, should be appreciated. Because it comes from developing countries. "With the success of Laila will bring a positive impact on people," he added.

If the Miss America 2012 Contestants were on The Bachelor…this is what we think might happen.
Since Mike Fleiss of The Bachelor is a judge, we can only imagine if he makes snap judgements and tries to see how things would play out with each girl were they on the show.
MISS INDIANA 2012
Jackie Jerlecki from Goshen, Indiana would probably do well, especially if she was with Ben Flajnik of The Bachelor 2012. She’s got a very sweet look to her. And that endearing feeling is only increased when you learn her career goal is to, “To become an artistic director for a community children’s theatre.” Once the Bachelor learned she wasn’t just a pretty face, she’d move straight to the top of his list!
MISS KENTUCKY 2012
Ann Blair Thornton would have no clue why she’s on The Bachelor. Back at home in Bowling Green, Kentucky, people likely don’t act as rude as they do on the show. Ann would maybe appreciate all of the rules on the show, but show very little interest in the Bachelor since she looks like she’s a private person who doesn’t want her life acted out on camera. She’d then be eliminated on that first night for seeming “cold” and not showing off any cleavage. Secretly, the other girls would all have loved her retro outfit.
MISS MARYLAND 2012
Carlie Colella looks like maybe she’d break into tears easily. Don’t mock her fragile nature! And hey, it’s an important quality to have as a Miss America contestant, sure. But it’s downright crucial when you’re a contestant on The Bachelor!
MISS MASSACHUSETTS 2012
Because of her memorable name, they’d want to keep Molly Whalen around. She gives us kind of an, “Oh Honey” reaction. (Quick, go watch the How I Met Your Mother episode with Katy Perry to see what we mean.) Her career ambition is to To teach Dental Hygiene at the collegiate level. Naturally, her all important platform is Smart Smiles: Promoting the Importance of Oral Health. On the show, we think she’d be a wet blanket and get bossed around.
MISS UTAH 2012
You guys, Danica Olsen just wants to get everyone off prescription drugs (if they’re abusing them) so she can go coach on a dance team like on The CW’s canceled Hellcats or in any of the Bring it On Movies! It’s not our fault we think we’d paint her as a villain, if you glance at this photo you see a red dress, the ominous red background, and there’s a shadow on her lip that makes her look like she has a vampire fang showing in the image! If she were on The Bachelor maybe she’d be the token mean/crazy girl.
MISS HAWAII 2012
Though she has a dramatic name, Lauren Kealohilani Cheape seems like one of the girls who wouldn’t be so dramatic that she’d scare the Bachelor away. She’d be eliminated third, hanging around but never quite making the cut. Ouch!

Miss Kentucky Ann-Blair Thornton told viewers who tuned in to the 2012 Miss America pageant on Saturday night that she was "running for my roses," but it was not to be.
Thornton did not advance to the semifinals in the pageant, broadcast live on ABC from Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Thornton, 22, of Bowling Green, is majoring in English and economics at Western Kentucky University. She plans to attend law school.
She won't return to Kentucky empty-handed.
On Thursday, Thornton was awarded the pageant's Quality of Life award and a $6,000 scholarship in recognition of her platform of Alzheimer's awareness and research.
Thornton, whose grandfather had Alzheimer's, formed a support group for teens impacted by the disease and has worked to raise money for research.
She sewed the names of people with Alzheimer's whom she met as Miss Kentucky into the back of her pageant sash "as a reminder of her purpose," according to a news release from the Miss America Organization.
Thornton played the piano for the talent portion of the competition.
Thornton's mother has said that Ann-Blair began competing in pageants when she was 15.
"She's always wanted to be in pageants," Terri Thornton said after her daughter's crowning as Miss Kentucky in July, but she said she made her daughter wait until Ann-Blair was old enough to make the decision for herself.
