Watch Steve Harvey announce the wrong victor for Miss Universe
In general, there is massive support for Miss Colombia, although some do not take the affair so seriously.

Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez is philosophical after being mistakenly crowned Miss Universe. The actual victor was Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach. I’m happy! I’m happy for all what I did to [reach] this dream.
“Her words do not represent the integrity and esteem of our program, nor that of our board members, our sponsors and partners, or the National Organization”, the Miss Puerto Rico Organization said in the statement posted on its official Facebook page.
“You are a stand-up man and a true class act that way you went back out on the stage on live TV and took full responsibility alone”, she said. Am I really Miss Universe?
Then last year’s Miss Universe, Columbia’s Paulina Vega came out on stage and stood there awkwardly before taking off the crown from Arevalo’s head and putting it on Wurzbach’s.
But many have praised Miss Colombia’s “classy” reaction in the aftermath of the mixup. “I had the chance to apologize to Miss Philippines and I’m thankful”, he wrote. And a transcribing error caused the wrong author’s name to be announced for a National Book Award in 2011.
Among the notable moments of the pageant, Flora Coquerel of France, who was at the Paris stadium the night of the November attacks by militants, reached the final five and Ariana Miyamoto of Japan, whose father is African-American, reached the last 10.
Meanwhile, in an interview the morning after the debacle, former Miss Universe pageant owner Donald Trump has called for the crown to be shared instead.
Trump said Monday that he regretted the mixup, adding that it would never have happened under his watch.

I think I’d make ’em a co-winner. “I think he was a great host and I think that mistakes happen”. “Let me just take control of this”.
