Manhunt International 2010
Sadly I had little time to follow Manhunt International but I did spend some time gawking at the hot guys in the pageant. Another worthy winner came out of this pageant, Peter Menky. Whilst Mr. World's Kamal Ibrahim from Ireland is a nice guy he doesn't stand anywhere near Tarik Kaljanac, Ryan Terry or Peter Menky. I honestly have to say Tarik, Ryan and Peter all definitely lead their respective pageants. 9 of my Top 16 made the final cut with 3 others in my alternatives. Anyway here were my favourites.
My Top 6
BRAZIL
Marlon Di Gregori is just perfect. I remember controversy arose when Jonas Sulzbach beat Marlon Di Gregori in Mister Brazil 2010 but I think both are perfect so I wouldn't mind either to be honest. I do have to say Jonas evokes more cheekiness whilst Marlon evokes more masculinity. Marlon was also a frontrunner at Manhunt International, he eventually took 2nd Runner Up.
BELGIUM
I think I need a plain ticket straight to Belgium as they seem to be churning out handsome man after handsome man. I don't understand why he isn't considered a frontrunner because to me he stands out as one of the best looking guys in the contest. He didn't place sadly.
SLOVAKIA
The kind arrives. Peter Menky is just hotness all over. It's so difficult to chose between him and Marlon (and actually for me Mr Belgium also) but I love all 3 of them. He's a fantastic winner for Manhunt International and lead right from the start.
VIETNAM
Another guy who doesn't get enough love. I don't understand why he isn't considered one of the best, if not the best, in Asia. He has the body, the smile and the look to catapult him into a place in the Top 5, however he didn't place either.
BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA
Bosnia is the boyish guy of my Top 6. He's cute and sweet but sadly I haven't seen much of him. He made the Top 16.
GIBRALTAR
Gibraltar is fabulous. His body is amazing! Though I love Gibraltar I just want to say, there is something about his face which irks me a bit. Whilst he is still cute and handsome I can never find myself to put amongst the best looking guys in the pageant, nonetheless he is one of my Top 6 favourites. He eventually became 1st Runner Up behind super god Peter Menky.
Top 9, nearly there
TURKEY
Turkey could have become my 7th top favourites but sadly he is too tanned for my liking. He looks a bit tanned ken doll at times and I think he looks too mean at times also. However he is sizzling! lol He made the Top 16.
CUBA
Gorgeous looking guy, shame about the lack of photos on him. He didn't make the cut.
USA
Yet again didn't see much of him but from what I saw I liked. Made 3rd Runner Up.
Finishing off My Top 16
AUSTRALIA
A real aussie charmer with a great bod. Didn't make it, which was a shock.
LATVIA
Great body and decent looker also, nearly cracked my Top 10. Didn't make it either.
PANAMA
Lovely smile and gorgeous face. Made Top 16.
SOUTH AFRICA
Quite similar to Australia in my opinion but I still like him. However he made Top 16.
CHINA
Nice sex appeal going on. Made Top 16.
SPAIN
Can come across a bit mean and to be honest he's one of the weakest Mr Spain's I've seen but he's still a good candidate in this powerhouse. Didn't make Top 1 though.
GERMANY
He's slightly too cutesy for me at times but he has an awesome bod! Didn't make the cut though.
Singapore, Venezuela and Taiwan also made the cut and were in my alternatives.
I didn't have India, Indonesia, Lebanon or Sweden in my list. I would have included Indonesia and Lebanon in a further list if I had one but India and Sweden weren't for me.
Anyway a great set of winners rounding off a decent year for male pageantry.
Mr International 2010
I have been following Mr International 2010 for the past few days. The competition is good but my favourite at the moment is still Mr Universe Model. I have seen the results posted on forums and on wikipedia so I'm going to take their word for it. The winner is Great Britain, my favourite, and my 5 favourites all made the Top 15. So here were my favourites
Bubbling Under...
VENEZUELA
Venezuela was a decent candidate but not that memorable. He just didn't seem to stand out, however he was cute and sweet looking. He eventually made the Top 15.
TURKEY
He wasn't a standout in terms of looks but there was something very sincere and genuine about him, he seemed like a very nice guy and somebody you'd like to be around. He eventually made the Top 10.
AUSTRALIA
Australia also competed at Mr Universe Model but was unplaced. I think he's a decent candidate, very tall and well built. He seems like a great guy, however he didn't place here either.
IRELAND
Ireland is a good looking bloke and very well built but something didn't resonate with me about him. He didn't make the cut.
DENMARK
I don't really like Denmark but it's hard to forget him with his crazy blue eyes. He is handsome but something doesn't click. I thought he was a frontrunner in this pageant but he didn't place!
Top 15
BOLIVIA
Bolivia looks lovely and sweet, he seems extremely approachable and looked better than Bruno Kettels (Mr International 2009 also from Bolivia) in most pictures. I have to say though Bruno looked much better in 2009. Anyway I like Mr Bolivia this year and he placed in the Top 15.
BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA
He's good looking definitely, but a bit too pouty. He made the Top 10.
CHILE
He has a very distinct face, very angular, which can be off putting but can also be handsome. At first I didn't like him but I slowly warmed to him. He made the Top 10.
KOREA
Korea isn't a stunner but in every photo he just looks so cool and stylish. He didn't place, which isn't shocking, but I wished they gave him a chance.
BRAZIL
Brazil's biggest asset was his ear to ear smile. His look can sometimes be a bit too much but his smile is infectious. It's not difficult to see why he became 1st Runner Up.
Top 10
SLOVENIA
For the longest time I had him in my Top 5 but then I bumped him down, because I just wasn't sure about him. I still think he makes a great Top 5 but his look wasn't consistent enough. I was shocked he didn't place.
AZERBAIJAN
Azerbaijan is incredibly good looking, not the hunky masculine type but the twink, boy next door type. I really liked his look but in male pageants they are looking for hunks rather than twinks. He didn't place :(
COLOMBIA
I like Colombia but his face wasn't that photogenic nor was he that well toned. I liked him for his potential but sadly he didn't always fulfil it. I was a bit confused why Globalbeauties continually named him as one of the ones to beat. He didn't place in the end - which was extremely shocking.
SLOVAK REPUBLIC
I think Slovak Republic has a nice body and face however he does look a bit "chavvy" oh well, I still like him. He didn't place.
GREECE
He is handsome and quite photogenic, he seemed a bit muted though personality wise. He came 4th Runner Up though.
My TOP 5
SPAIN
Spain was the guy I bumped up for Slovenia. I don't actually think Spain is better looking than Slovenia but he has the charisma and charm to back him up. He came in at 2nd Runner Up.
FRANCE
France has this boyish charm about him that captivates me every time I look at him. He's cute and also has a nice body. He made the Top 10.
AUSTRIA
Austria also competed in Mr Universe Model but was unplaced. I LOVE Austria, he just looks so cute and adorable. His pecs are also crazily bulbous! lol. I would love to meet him, he looks so sweet. He made the Top 15 :)
BELGIUM
Another Mr Universe Model alumni who weirdly enough didn't do as well here. He didn't seem to get any momentum from his previous competition and instead looked to be part of the background. I still love him, utter shame he only made Top 15.
MY WINNER AND YOUR WINNER
GREAT BRITAIN
Great Britain rounds off another great male pageant winner, first came the god that is Tarik Kaljanac and now we have Ryan Terry. Ryan has the body - oh my god he does, CRAZY 8 pack! the looks - so sweet and handsome, and the personality - he looks like a joy to be around with. I truly applaud Mr International for crowning the best candidate, love that he's representing Great Britain.
So out of 10 of my Top 15 made the cut with 2 in my alternatives also making it. I missed out Namibia, Philippines and Indonesia. I kind of expected Namibia and Philippines is ok. I originally had Indonesia quite high up on my list but I began to dislike his look, I see why he would be placed highly though - he came 3rd Runner Up.
SHOCKING CUTS I HADN'T MENTIONED ALREADY
LEBANON
I don't like Lebanon but many people hyped him up as a contender, Lebanon is also always in the Top 15 so I was also quite shocked not to see him in the list. Good for me though.
