Yes, sadly, Zoltan seems to have missed it. Though it has to be said that the winner is mucho hot. Here's his pic:

Mr. Photogenic was also Mr.Argentina, and Mr.Philanthropy was Mr.Cuba for apparently raising donations for the Noble Beast Foundation, whatever that is. Sadly, Mr. Popular, which was decided on the basis of online votes was Mr.Brazil - also a big country, like us, and with a much more open gay scene, so I'm guessing he got votes from there (and he is hot). Its a pity they didn't have a Mr.Courage, since it certainly took that for Zoltan to take part in this event, especially given the sort of flak he got when the story broke last week. Headlines Today did a programme where they got some of the usual nutcases like Poornima Advani fulminating on how people like Zoltan were destroying Indian families. I know he was badly rattled by this, and by the effect it might have on his family, and I hope that didn't affect his performance. Anyway, even if he didn't win anything, I'd say it was great that he took part and we certainly owe him for going it through with it. I hope we'll be able to get a candidate next year, and I wonder if we should look at a more proactive role in getting one? Vikram
