Miss Colombia vs. Miss Philippines 2015: ‘Universe’ Beauty Queens Not Talking
A contestant is speaking out about the results of the 2015 Miss Universe pageant, and surprisingly it isn’t Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez.

The host of Miss Universe has shared a picture on Instagram of the moment he apologised to Miss Philippines after mistakenly announcing Miss Colombia as the victor of the annual beauty pageant. The host of Miss Universe messed up the victor and crowned the runner-up.

When asked why the ladies rushed to Ariadna after the announcement instead of to Pia to congratulate her, Germany replied, “Because none of us voted for Philippines”.
The nearly unbelievable ending to the pageant was televised live in many countries, including on the Fox network in the United States on Sunday night. She said she realised it was “probably bad timing”.
“I’m happy! I’m happy for all what I did to [reach] this dream”, Gutierrez said. I’m so happy. Thank you for all. “I can show it to you right here”, Harvey said while showing the card to the cameras.
Miss Colombia had it all for just a few minutes.
The snafu quickly went viral, given that it was immediately hailed as the most awkward 15 seconds of live television the world has ever seen. Before the error was discovered, Santos posted on social media: “Colombians!”.
Celebrities were also in shock and chose to react to the moment.
A contrite Harvey fixed his mistake quickly.
Harvey later tweeted an apology to the women and viewers.
“To me, our queen is and will remain Miss Universe”.

“I think she did a really good job with her reaction and with acting like a good title holder as Miss Columbia”, Miss Los Angeles County Rachael Maurer said.
