How to read these figures
Each figure is a snapshot of the publicly visible follower count at the moment that profile was captured. It is not live, and the capture date differs from one contestant to the next — which is why every row carries its own.
Follower count measures the size of an audience, not talent, placement or merit. Many large accounts predate the pageant, and many small ones belong to reigning titleholders. This ranking describes, it does not judge.
One account per contestant is used: the most-followed one when several are linked. Contestants with no linked profile, or whose count cannot be read, are absent from the ranking rather than placed last. Removed profiles are excluded. Country means nationality, not the delegation represented.
