Format
There were several changes in this edition's format; there were twenty-five semi-finalists chosen for the first cut instead of fifteen. The closed-door interviews and other preliminary activities determined the twenty-five semi-finalists. These semi-finalists then competed in the swimsuit and evening gown competitions. Afterwards, they were narrowed down to fifteen, which included the winner of the People's Choice Award via text votes. The fifteen semi-finalists then competed at the question and answer contest, where the six winners and the two runners-up were determined.
