Miss Universe 2009: Rachael Finch Still The Favourite





At +500 (5/1) odds, Miss Australia Rachael Finch is still favored to win Sunday night's Miss Universe 2009 pageant, though Sportsbook.com gives perennial favorite Miss Dominican Republic shorter odds. Only she and Miss Mexico enjoyed single digit odds (Miss Mexico came in at +800 odds).

The beauty has already signed on to be part of Celebrity MasterChef Australia and now lingerie powerhouse Victoria's Secret, according to the Telegraph of Australia.

From the Telegraph:

The beauty has declined to talk about offers she has received but a manager associated with Finch, Grant Dwyer, said he was getting dozens of approaches every day from companies representing everything from cosmetics to racing.
