Ghana in frontrunner position at Miss Universe

After a few preliminary tasks at the ongoing Miss Universe beauty pageant, Ghana's Jennifer Victoria Koranteng has emerged as a front runner with some analysts placing her in the Top 20 Ranking.

After competing in her BSC Swimwear during the swimsuit segment of the Miss Universe 2009 Presentation Show on Sunday August 16 globalbeauties.com was full of praise for her. “WOW! WOW! WOW! What a presentation in the swimsuit round! This girl took my breath away during her swimsuit presentation. She has a GREAT face (which has not been noticed up until now), and she was outstanding on stage. Her choice of gown though, could have been better, though I felt her presence registered in the gown round as well. Honestly, I will be frustrated if she does not make the cut! She is the probably among one of the BEST candidates Ghana has ever sent to Miss Universe, and she must not go unnoticed (as happened in 2002 and 2006 with Ghana's Walkins-Fia and Asare!).”

Hector Joaquin, an expert on beauty pageants also puts Jennifer in his Top 20 rankings on his acclaimed blog. Jennifer is currently in the Bahamas for the 2009 Miss Universe competition which will be held in the Imperial Ballroom at ATLANTIS, Paradise Island, Bahamas, LIVE on NBC Television network on Sunday, August 23, 2009.
