AUSTRALIA’S Jesinta Campbell has claimed third place in the Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas.
The 19-year-old, raised on the Gold Coast but now living in Sydney, was second runner-up as Mexico's Jimena Navarrete triumphed over 83 other contestants.
Ms Campbell also won the Miss Congeniality Universe award.
The 22-year-old Mexican was declared the winner after donning a flowing red gown and telling an audience the importance of teaching kids family values.
Asked how she felt about unsupervised internet use, Navarrete replied through an interpreter: “I do believe that internet is an indispensable, necessary tool for the present time. We must be sure to teach them the values that we learned as a family.”
First runner-up was Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillipps.
The show was without any major gaffes, except for Miss Philippines' answer when asked what her biggest mistake in life was and how she fixed it.
“In my 22 years of existence, I can say there is nothing major,” said Venus Raj, who finished in fifth place.
