Miss Universe 2010

Jesinta placed as the 2nd runner-up at the Miss Universe 2010 pageant, only behind the eventual winner, Mexico's Ximena Navarrete[2], and the 1st runner-up Yendi Phillipps from Jamaica. Jesinta also won Miss Congeniality, becoming the second closest Miss Congeniality since Miss Universe 1955 Maribel Arrieta to winning Miss Universe. It was also the first time the Miss Congeniality winner places among the semi-finals since Miss Universe 1970. During the pageant Jesinta told Australia's Nova 96.9 radio station of her experience with the national costume dress she wore for the event. "When I went to put it on I found about six pins all pinned in the back of it, so when I put it on I scratched all the back of my back. I was like 'Ooh! What's that?'." Campbell didn't point any fingers at any specific competitors. "All of that stuff is backstage, so it could've been anyone."


Career

Campbell recently begun a stint as an entertainment reporter for TV station in Australia and is a now a boldfaced name in entertainment news circles, and arguably more famous than she might have been had she won the crown.
