Costa Rica News – Miss Costa Rica, Fabiana Granados left early Sunday morning to Moscow, Russia for the fifth international competition and the most important of her life: Miss Universe. The native of Hojancha , Guanacaste is competing for the title and the crowning of Miss Universe, the event will take place Saturday, November 9th.
Fabiana’s first appearance among media was yesterday, next to Miss Slovakia, Miss Switzerland and Miss Greece in a photo shoot for a swimsuit contest. This was 
also her first photo shoot in the country.
Through her Twitter and Facebook accounts she has been informing her fans about her experience. Granados uploaded a picture that showed a large national flag in her hotel room and recorded a small video message. In the message she thanks people for the support they have given her through her journey and shares the view from her room.
Gabriela Alfaro, Teletica Image manager, added that they have already had a first encounter with the police, is it very cold there and Fabiana’s roommate is Colombian.
The famous beauty pageant scandals have already begun. The first was related to the now former Miss Uruguay, Michele Orsi , who was removed by her director, Antonio Vergara , supposedly for misconduct and a weight increase of 12 pounds.
In a phone interview with Bogota Blu, Vergara complains about Orsi who made the announcement that she was resigning to the opportunity to represent Uruguay in Moscow. While admitting that Orsi is cute, Vergara said that her refusal to compete in the event was influenced by the extra pounds she has not been able to loose because she has no discipline in the gym or in the clinic and she spends a lot of time partying.
Orsi said that during her preparation for the competition in Russia she received uncomfortable proposals and complained about the lack of resources and quality of Vergara’s company.
Oarsi is not the only one being criticized for her weight. The Mexican beauty representing Mexico in the beauty competition, Cinthya Duke , 20 , is a victim of harsh criticism on social networks. After a glimpse of her first photo shoot in Russia, people have been talking about her apparent weight increase.
Based on the current critics and scandals it seems like Miss Costa Rica already has an advantage since there has not been any negative talk about the young beauty.
