Three winners of a beauty pageant in Chongqing were judged by Web users as "far below the public's aesthetic benchmark," after their photos were posted on Sina Weibo late Tuesday。

　　The Miss International 2012 Beauty Pageant Chongqing has become the focus of a tussle over the hidden rules behind the competition that apparently failed to select a true beauty in a city famous for its pretty women。

　　A staffer surnamed Liu from the pageant organization committee was quoted by the Chongqing Morning Post as saying that the whole competition is based on equity。

　　"After rounds of grading, they were deemed qualified," Liu said, adding that different people have different standards of beauty and the three winners will represent Chongqing in the national final。

　　However, an anonymous judge of the pageant told the newspaper Wednesday that judges were under pressure and that the result was not based on the judges' decision。

　　"We are also disappointed in the three who were crowned, and personally I don't think they represent women in Chongqing," the judge told the newspaper。

　　The Global Times was unable to contact the pageant's organizer yesterday。

　　By late yesterday, some 980,000 postings on the pageant results were seen on Weibo, making it the fourth most popular topic。

　　上周末剛選出的國際小姐中國大賽重慶賽區(qū)前三甲的照片，截止7月11日晚間，在微博平臺上已被轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)了98萬次。網(wǎng)友們所爭論的焦點則是這三位新晉“重慶國際小姐”外形不夠靚麗，無法代表重慶美女去競選國際小姐。

　　重慶出美女，這是重慶人和外地人基本都認(rèn)可的。不過不知是不是網(wǎng)友們的要求太高，7月6日結(jié)束的第52屆國際小姐中國大賽重慶賽區(qū)前三名的獲獎?wù)掌瑒偙痪W(wǎng)友在微博上公布，便引來了眾多網(wǎng)友的集體吐槽，稱達(dá)不到重慶美女的平均水平。有言辭激烈者，甚至表示內(nèi)中有貓膩。一時間，“黑幕”、“潛規(guī)則”等說法在網(wǎng)上泛濫。

　　對于網(wǎng)友們對選美結(jié)果的種種不滿，該賽事重慶組委會工作人員劉先生表示：“這個結(jié)果是由七位評委共同評選出來的，整場賽事公正、公平、公開，我們采取每輪打分制，最終就是這三位選手進(jìn)入前三強。”

　　劉先生表示，已經(jīng)知道網(wǎng)絡(luò)上對于賽事的種種質(zhì)疑，不過他坦言：“美或丑，每個人有不一樣的評判標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，我們不能要求所有人的審美標(biāo)準(zhǔn)都一致，組委會會尊重網(wǎng)友們在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上自由的發(fā)表觀點，但我們要再次聲明比賽時沒有黑幕的，更沒有所謂的潛規(guī)則，接下來她們?nèi)贿€將代表重慶去參加全國總決賽的評選。”

　　然而昨晚此次比賽的一位不愿透露姓名的評委卻表示：“其實我們當(dāng)時在評選最終三強的時候受到了一些壓力，所以這個三強的結(jié)果并不是我們評委評出來的。”他十分遺憾地表示：“其實作為評委來說，我對這次評出來的前三甲也相當(dāng)失望，個人認(rèn)為她們不能代表重慶美女的形象。”
