The Miss Universe 2013 pageant finals date is moving closer as days pass, and two miss universe contestants are being called by the media as among the most popular of the Miss Universe contestants.

Scandals and controversy are already abound this early on in the Miss Universe beauty pageant competition and Miss Universe contestant Ghana is no stranger to them. Miss Ghana Hanniel Jamin has become media popular by being unable to participate in the Miss Universe 2013 beauty pageant, and will be replaced by a runner-up. 

"Someone is trying to impersonate me, Hanniel Jamin by representing me as the Miss Universe Ghana 2013 at the Miss Universe Int'l 2013 pageant in Moscow Russia.... Now I see why I was kidnapped on the 3rd of September 2013.Please Miss Universe Organization Worldwide, Pageantology, Missosology, Russian Embassy, Ghanaian and Russian Immigration, and the Media please take notem" Miss Ghana said in a Facebook post in regards to her replacement.

The kidnapping controversy has been cause for the media to focus on Miss Ghana, and she has since caught the eyes of the Miss Universe board of judges. She is studying at Radford University and is a professional model. She was crowned Miss Universe Ghana 2013 last May.

Meanwhile another popular contestant being spotlighted in the beauty pageant is Miss Myanmar Moe Set Wine. She is the first Miss Myanmar delegate for more than five decades. the beauty queen has already professed that her countrymen in Myanmar are worried about her romping about the stage in a bikini, an item of wear which is taboo in their culture. Myanmar is a conservative Southeast Asian country that is dangerously at the brink of revolution. Miss Myanmar Moe Set WIne has been a popular choice and her popularity could well be sending her on her way to the finals. She has studied in California and has great communication skills.

The Miss Universe 2013 beauty pageant will be hed on November 9, in Moscow, Russia.
