I've watched almost all of the close-up interviews from the Miss Universe website (well in the case of non-English speaking candidates, just an impression on how they talk), here i think are the HOTTEST 3: PHILIPPINES - Free spirited, genuine and spontaneous. There's no way to miss this elegant lady. A shoo-in for the crown. MEXICO - Charming and very relaxed. She has the highest likability factor. Another finalist material from Mexico! DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - There's confidence in the way she talks. Sash factor or not, plastic surgery or not, she deserves Top 15. And in the Evening Gown Red Carpet where the contestants wear the gown of their choice, the hottest 3 are:

CANADA: This beauty stands out among the rest. Definitely the best evening gown for the red carpet. Unmatched! We might just have a back-to-back winner in the history of Miss Universe.

SWITZERLAND: Based from the evening gowns red carpet, European delegates are the weakest. But there is one who is just simply perfect: Miss Switzerland. She’s Europe’s only hope for the top 5.

PHILIPPINES: There are a lot of Asian stunners this year like Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Lebanon. But there is one who REALLY shines! And she’s no other than my hottest pick in the close-up interview, Miss Philippines.
