Miss Bumbum – A Teaching Moment

As you may recall, the DFO team had a homework assignment a couple of months back. On September 7, 2018, on the eve of the NFL season starting, I took over tWBS’s Sexy Friday post and set up a poll which would determine which Brazilian ass was the best Brazilian ass in all of Brazil (in the DFO-verse).

There were 27 candidates, one representing each Brazilian state, and I published pictures of each from the Miss Bumbum website so the DFOers could make an informed decision.  Votes were placed and a clear winner was chosen by the Commentist Party.  That winner was the candidate from Rio Grande do Norte, Giovanna Spinella:

Giovanna won 30% of the votes cast by the DFO readership. The runner-up, according to DFO, was:

Tied for third were the representatives from Minas Gerais, Goiás, and Tocantins with 7% each and then Distrito Federal, Santa Catarina, and Amazonas with 5% of the vote each.

I said at the time that I would follow up after the pageant was over to see how DFO tastes matched up with Brazilian tastes.  Well, the Miss Bumbum pageant has crowned a new winner and it’s time for the results!

As you may recall, the Miss Bumbum pageant rules stipulate that the 27 candidates are whittled down to 15 finalists via an online poll on the Miss Bumbum website.  Those 15 then competed at an event in Sao Paulo on November 6, 2018 where the winner was chosen by a panel of judges with the online winners getting points on a declining scale and additional points awarded at the pageant itself.

Below is a table showing the top vote getters in the DFO poll versus the final Miss Bumbum online poll that closed on October 31, 2018. I’ve color-coded the names of the candidates in which we all coincided.

DFO matched Brazilian voters on 11 of the top 15 candidates, which is pretty good.  The assumption is that a nice ass is a nice ass anywhere in the world.  However, looking deeper, some vast differences are revealed.  The top vote-getter in Brazil (and the margin was pretty large in the Miss BumBum poll) barely registered with DFO readers.  On the other hand, DFO’s top choice didn’t even make the top 15 in Brazil!

Similarly, the #2 in Brazil was ignored by the DFOers while Daiane Mendes, tied for DFO’s #3 spot, did not make the top 15.

Why?

Before we get to that, let’s first discuss the final results from Brazil.

At the pageant held in Sao Paulo, a surprise winner was chosen:  Ellen Santana, representing Rondônia.  That wasn’t the only surprise:

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!

Aline Uva, the overwhelming vote-getter in the online poll, thought something was rotten in the state of Denmark (or in this case Sao Paulo) and declared shenanigans.  Her claim at the time was that Ellen Santana had implants on her ass to make it bigger, plumper, and lovelier and that’s definitely against the rules.

Contest organizers wondered why Aline didn’t bring this up months ago when each of the contestants were asked to provide x-rays to prove they had not had their asses altered by plastic surgery.

While I may or may not agree with Aline’s claims, it is definitely surprising that the #12 finisher in the online poll managed to do well enough in the pageant so as to surpass the sizable advantage that Aline had with the online voting points.

In any case, Ellen was allowed to keep the crown and now Aline has been banned from participating in Miss BumBum-related activities.  Which is probably just as well as Miss Bumbum contestants have in the past become rich and famous despite not winning.  If anything, her actions at the pageant will only bring her more fame and opportunities.

And now for the twist!

In September, I mentioned that there were a couple of surprises that I would reveal when the results came out.  While Brazilian voters were aware of this information when they voted, the DFOers, unless they independently researched the candidates upon reading my post, would not have known that Giovanna Spinelli, representing Rio Grande do Norte, and Paula Oliveira, representing Amazonas, are transgender women that were born men.

Which is why I’m really proud of the DFO readers having chosen Giovanna as the DFO Miss BumBum 2018.

You all saw beauty and that’s all that mattered to you.  You did not know anything beyond that and you chose with your boners.  Well done!

The other heartwarming thing is that the Miss BumBum online voters chose Paula Oliveira as the #4 vote-getter KNOWING she was born a man.  Would DFO voters have done similarly if they knew what they know now?

I’ll leave that to you all to figure out for yourselves.  I’d like to think you would, but ultimately only you know.

FWIW, my favourites were Flávia Tamaio-Distrito Federal, Yasmin Albuquerque-Santa Catarina, Daiane Mendes,Tocantins, Bruna Bac, Sergipe, and Cida Alves-Minas Gerais.

I’ll be really interested to read the comments today.  Make me proud.
