Miss Bumbum 2015 contestant Camila Gomes recently made the list of top 15 finalists and revealed that she would dedicate a win in the competition to her mother.

According to Divirta-se, Gomes explained that her mother, who died after a three-year battle with pulmonary fibrosis last year, was the closest person she had in her life.

"It was very hard for me to get over it. She was everything in my life. I would dedicate the award to her," the representative of Minas Gerais, Brazil said. Gomes currently ranks No. 5 on the list of contestants.

Gomes also revealed that she wants to participate in the next Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, representing the colors of the Academic Samba School in Rio Grande.  

Miss Bumbum is not the only modeling competition in Brazil. Gata do Brasil also picks out Brazil's most beautiful women and has fans vote for their favorite.

One of the contestants in that competition, Madelayne Cavalcanti, recently criticized Miss Bumbum contestant Debora Bindur. Both models represent Pernambuco, but Cavalcanti called her Miss Bumbum counterpat "a disappointment," according to Folha Geral.

"I was invited to represent Pernambuco, but did not accept. The girl who is representing Pernambuco has no chance. She has an egg waist and withered butt. She is not Pernambuco. She should have continued to sell cake. She has no chance of being Miss Bumbum," Cavalcanti said.

Cavalcanti's critique didn't stop there. The model went on to criticize the entire Miss Bumbum pageant and the current contestants.

"Before, there were beautiful women. Now anyone can be Miss Bumbum, even if they don't have a cute butt, like the representative of Pernambuco, who still managed, somehow, to get to the end," she said.

Regardless of Cavalcanti's comments, the Miss Bumbum pageant has a lot of popular contestants, picked out by voters.

According to Globo, all 15 of the top contestants will move on to the live version of the competition and will face a panel of 10 judges, who will pick the top three contestants.

The current top five contestants will have an advantage because they will move on to the next phase with a few points already added to their scores. The Miss Bumbum finale will take place on Nov. 9 in São Paulo.
