What do you look for in a guy?
Pailin: Well, he has to be charming, funny, outgoing, active, and outdoorsy. I’d like him to be taller than me, too, with a great personality.

Natalie, we won’t ask you, because it looks like you’ve found yours. (Natalie is married to tennis player Paradorn Srichaphan, whom she met in Thailand during the pageant, like Michelle and Ogie). Natalie, you’re of Russian heritage, but grew up in Canada. Have you ever gone out with any Filipino guys?
Natalie: I have! Two of them actually. I got along with them really well, Filipino culture is very similar to Russian culture, they respect their parents and family is very important.
