Final rehearsals began in the morning. All contestants listened carefully to Valentin – the Stage Director of the show, and work went very smoothly.
There was only half an hour for the lunch on Thursday. After lunch, the participants returned to the rehearsal room and carried on the preparation. Then there was a briefing with the choreographers, directors, and costume designers. The contestants had the shoe-fitting after. Shoes were provided by another partner of the competition- Carlo Pazolini.
Contestants were nervous, everybody understood that the final day was coming soon and with that the most important event for which everyone came to Samara. The organizers expected perfect performances from all the girls. The final show is almost impossible to rehearse just in 3 days. But it was only the next day when the final outcome would be known.
At 6 pm Natalia Kalaus gave a master class on hairstyles to all the contestants.
In the evening, the girls had a contest “Miss Friendship”, where each girl gave her vote for the most kind and sympathetic contestant. This year the title of “Miss Friendship” was earned by Julia Tikhonova, the representative of Chuvashia.
ВверхEvery day of the contest is different. On 5 August everyone started to began being nervous, because the girls were competing for the title of “Miss Bikini”. The winner will go to represent Russia at the international contest “Miss Bikini International”.
It was decided that the event would take place on the banks of the Volga River. Local press came, as well as guests from Moscow – the art director of “Women’s secrets” and PR director of “Moscow Evening”. Bikinis for all the girls were provided by one of the Partners of the contest – the company Defi*le.
Five finalists were selected, including: Anastasia Nesterova (Saratov), Jana Dobrovol’skaya (Tyumen), Samokhina Angelina (Volgograd). Veronika Trofimova (Saratov region), Alena Eremina (Tambov).
After some debate, the jury decided to give the title to the representative of Saratov, to Trofimova Veronica. We all wish her good luck in the upcoming contest, and we are more than sure, that she will represent Russia worthily. That same evening there was a contest of “Miss Talent”. The girls amazed the jury with their skills of dancing, drawing, singing, sewing clothes, playing instruments, reading poetry, and so on. Our contestants are not only clever and beautiful, but also possess numerous talents, of which the jury had no idea.
It was impossible to choose just three finalists and so five were chosen. The crown went to Irina Melnikova from Nizhny Novgorod. Irina won the hearts of the jury through her passionate dance of Carmen.
ВверхEvery day of the contest was very full and productive; the contestants had a lot of rehearsals and almost no free time. The girls spent the whole day rehearsing and preparing for the “Miss Disco” competition.
Unlike all the previous years, this year we have changed the format of the competition “Miss Disco.” Participants no longer danced individually in a free style to unknown music. The Production Management Committee decided to put on a rehearsed dance battle between contestants. The participants were divided into groups of ten people and they came out on stage with the same dance. Two groups of five girls competed on stage at the same time. The girls spent only a few hours practicing with dance choreographer Maria, who was in charge of all of their performances.
Opinions were divided among the jury; they debated hotly over who to choose. To select just one was extremely difficult. The result was that first place was taken by Anastasia Morozova, from the Republic of Crimea. Masha charmed the jury with her acrobatics, stretching and dance training. The competition was held at the restaurant Yar bar. After the competition, there were photoshoots and guests were able to enjoy the meal and the opportunity to chat with the press.
ВверхThe day started early: with a 9.00 am breakfast at the Renaissance Hotel.
After breakfast, each contestant was given a contestant number by lucky-dip, after which rehearsals started and were girls preparing for the contest “Miss Disco”.
In groups, all the contestants perfected their dancing skills under the guidance of Maria, the manager of the Production Management Committee.
The official photoshoot carried on. After that contestants spent an hour for the final rehearsal. For lunch, there was literally twenty minutes, no more. Ten contestants were chosen for the photoshoot for the automobile brand, and filming took place in one of the city’s parks.
In the evening, the first competition took place: “Miss Intellect”. Each participant was given a form with fifteen questions and very little time. The first three questions had to be answered correctly. They received one point for speed. The questions were very complex. For example, the number of independent countries on the political map of the world, or the name of the author of the book the “History of Russia.”
There were three finalists chosen out of five, who had almost the same score. The girls scored on average 7-7.5 points. The finalists were asked some basic questions, which were prepared by the jury and the guests.
The crown of “Miss Intellect” was won by Dobrovol’skaya Jana (Tyumen). Congratulations to Jana with the title of the smartest contestant.
