Since the "Miss Universe" 2015 competition is already heating up, the top predictions have also intensified.

She is followed by France's Flora Coquerel, Colombia's Ariadna Gutierrez, India's Urvasha Rautela and USA's Olivia Jordan.

While Jordan is not talked about much, she is fighting in the competition in stealth mode. She is also very consistent and a solid competitor in the "Miss Universe" 2015 pageant. While Vietnam, USA and France were rising on the top, Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines seemed to have dropped from the ranks. But she's still among the strongest contenders, landing on the top 15 list.

While still bubbling up are the Netherlands, Kosovo, Denmark, Great Britain and Indonesia. Remember, these are just predictions and forecasts will still change in the upcoming days.
