Earlier, expectations ran high that Kim would advance to the final as she was named the most popular contestant in an unofficial online vote by a Spanish daily on Tuesday.

Venezuela's Gabriela Isler took the Miss Universe title. Second place went to Patricia Rodrigues of Spain, while Ecuador's Constanza Baez was third.
