Transgender Miss Universe Contestant Jenna Talackova Makes Top 12

Jenna Talackova, 23, the transgendered 2012 Miss Universe Canada contestant who was initially thrown out of the competition, run by Donald Trump, before being readmitted, made it to the final twelve of Saturday night's Miss Universe pageant, but failed to advance to the final five.

Talackova may not have landed the crown, but she was one of the four contestants to be named Miss Congeniality. The 6'1" British Columbia native, Talackova, ultimately lost out to Sahar Biniaz, who claimed the crown in the Miss Universe contestant.
