Bangalore girl Nicole Faria, the only Indian to have ever won the Miss Earth title, tells there is no favoritism at international pageants and she believes the problem lies in the selection process at home. 'The excuse is that there is favoritism or that the pageant organizers want to promote some countries. This is not true. Every pageant would like to ensure that they are fair and appear that way. I think that the problem exists in how we choose the winning girls from India,' Nicole said. The 10th edition of the Miss Earth beauty pageant was held Dec 4, 2010, in VinpearlLand, Nha Trang, Vietnam, where Nicole won.
