No, Miss World Organization doesn't cheat. They are simply subjective. Subjective because in most editions, regardless of how crystal clear a candidate is about to win the crown, it's put on the head of a dark horse. Unlike Miss Universe results which is more predictable, Miss World results is more of a power-play. If the MW judges don't like a candidate, regardless of how stellar her performance is, she would never end up as a winner.
In 1995 edition of Miss World, Carlene Aguilar was a front-runner and was way ahead of any other candidates from the bookmakers' perspective. Miss World Organization (MWO) however changed the format to pick one winner from each continent (Continental Beauties) from the Top 15 to advance to Top 7. The regional winner from Asia was the fast-tracked winner of Beauty With a Purpose from South Korea -- never an inch queenly as opposed to the two front-runners from Asia Pacific which are of course Carlene Aguilar from the Philippines and Sindhura Gadde from India. That format paved the way for Iceland's Unnur Birna Vilhjálmsdóttir --another lackluster candidate to win the Miss World 2005 crown.
That Philippine-upset in the Miss World Finals left a bad taste in my mouth. I never watched any Miss World Finals live until Megan Young's in 2013.
The point I'm driving is, Miss World Organization has already picked Puerto Rico to win the title from the start. That is simply the reason why they had to reformat the process of picking the Top 10 from Top 20. Had they followed the previous years format picking the Top 10 Leaderboard scorers from Top 20 to advance, Puerto Rico would have not advanced at all because her name was not a front-run in any of the Challenge Events except for the Talent. They did this on purpose otherwise they would have a lot of justifying to do to mask the staggering interview scores given by the judges to Miss Puerto Rico to secure a spot in the Top 10.
Catriona Gray was just made another Carlene Aguilar in the Miss World pageant history. So again, Miss World was, is, and will never cheat. They are simply subjective. Now that's sarcasm if you don't get it. :-)
