Confidently, this is what she said:

Jenelli Fraser, Miss Universe Belize

"Well I finished my interviews today. That in itself I had to mentally prepare, but it wasn't too hard because they simply asked about myself and I know myself very well. So I portrayed myself the best that I know how. But how have I been preparing for the prelims because that determines the top twenty? I think just being my confident self. I know when I get on that stage, it will definitely show if I am insecure, so I have to be cognizant of my facial expressions, I need to be aware of my body movements and I need to display being confidently beautiful. So that’s how I'm preparing; just knowing how to work the stage and smile because it is one of my best assets."

Miss Belize Jenelli Fraser making her mark at Miss Universe 2018

The charming Jenelli Fraser is in Bangkok, Thailand, where she is set to compete in the 67th edition of the Miss Universe pageant. The pageant will be held on Sunday, December 16th, airing live at 7PM on FOX (Channel 15 on Coral Cable Vision in San Pedro). Fraser, along with 93 other contestants from around the world, have been preparing arduously for the grand event. With millions of viewers expected to watch the pageant, Fraser's confidence, intelligence, and outstanding personality have been gaining popularity both locally and internationally.

This year's Miss Universe Live show will kick off with the announcement of the top 20 Semifinalist. The top 20 will be picked in the same format as last year: the top five contestants of Europe, Africa, Asia, the Pacific, Americas and the 'Wild Cards' five girls selected from any region, these are who are deemed worthy of being in the Top 20. The host will then interview the 20 semifinalists followed by the swimwear segment. The scores from that will determine the Top 10. The top 10 semifinalists then move on to the second stage of the competition, which is the evening gown segment. The judges and fans will see the contestants' style as they walk the stage in their evening gown of choice. However, the exact design of the gown does not count towards the total score and instead the judge's focus on how confidently each woman presents herself.
