Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach also ‘confused’ about Miss Universe win over
This included besides a Philippine, a Colombian and Miss USA.

Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez is philosophical after being mistakenly crowned Miss Universe.
A mystified Wurtzbach appeared stunned as she walked to the front of the stage alongside the crown-wearing Arevalo before last year’s Miss Universe from Colombia removed the crown and placed it on Wurtzbach’s head instead. First runner-up is Colombia, it was my mistake. She said she realised it was “probably bad timing”. NBC had the ability to cross-promote Miss Universe and Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice.
Miss Philippines did end up receiving the diamond and blue topaz crown, but Miss Germany said she was surprise because none of the contestants voted for her. “Make them a co-winner, because what happened to the girl from Colombia is devastating, to give it to her for a couple of minutes and then take it away”, said Trump.
It didn’t take long for Harvey to respond after the gaffe.
“I’d like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake”. I hope that you can forgive me.
Social media users have come up with memes to slam the host and videos that allegedly prove there was fraud in the finale. During the course of the evening, the pageant’s host Steve Harvey crowned the wrong contestant, making for an all-out awkward and live moment.
“I have to apologize”, he told a confused crowd in Las Vegas.
He continued, “Folks, let me just take control of this”.
After a quick review, Harvey awkwardly said: “I have to apologize. It was an honest mistake”, she said, apologising on behalf of the organisation she now represents. Trump subsequently sold the pageant and tweeted after the flub that it “would never have happened” on his watch.

The ending of the Miss Universe competition easily created the biggest debacle in the history of the competition and perhaps the greatest debacle in live television competition history.
