Preliminary competition and preparations for pageant night were extended to a full month unlike previous pageants which lasted for a week or two. Canada's Karen Baldwin won with not much surprise from her fellow delegates and pageant organizers as she was vibrant and eloquent. Controversy arose with the naming of Patty Kerkos as runner-up to Karen. Most vocal was Italy's Cinzia Fiordeponti, the 2nd runner-up “I deserved to be first runner-up!” Cinzia emphasized.
