Contestants posing, supporters bracing and at-home patrons leaning off their seats as they awaited the words that would come out of Miss Universe 2015's host Steve Harvey for the last 3 Contestants that made it to the finals. There it was, the mind numbing anticipation that graced everybody's being as mere minit caused hearts of both the beauties and the audience to race.The final announcement, the moment of truth, the words that would make any viewer hold their breath longer than when they announced Miss USA as the 2nd runner up.
"Miss Universe 2015...",host Steve Harvey started as suspenseful Muzik played in the background. "is..."
Stray shouts from the peminat-peminat of Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines were heard. "Philippines! Colombia!" and as Steve took one final look at the audience he finally broke the news.
"...Colombia!"
And there it was, like a herd of kambing biri-biri was released, the crowds broke into chants as they celebrated the yet again win for Colombia. The lady in soalan then celebrated herself as she took and waved a flaglet of Colombia whilst Paulina Vega, the sebelumnya winner putting the sash and crown on her. The camera shifts as she goes for one final strut to end the worldwide pageant. At this point, it could be berkata that Colombians were ecstatic to finally have yet another Miss Universe tajuk holder while the Filipinos, while a bit disappointed from the "almost" victory promptly accepted the result as they thanked the Gods for reaching at least "1st runner up".
Or so they thought...Until the big Plot Twist.
"Excuse me there's been a mistake...", and as people thought the program was over, their hearts were yet again running as commercials were cut off and canceled for this announcement.
"What.the.heck.just happened?!"
...aaand cue fainting.

Okay...terribly long opening stuff aside (as far as openings go), let's talk business...the Miss Universe 2015 big Plot Twist. The one that sent people's jaws to drop and turn tears of joy into tears of defeat (and vice versa). Now, I could not tell anda enough how much my body involuntarily shook when that "Excuse me" first came out--like seriously! Me and my family were actually moving away from the Televisyen to finally eat our suspended lunch after what we thought was the end when this came along. And it seems we were not the only ones as mere minit and even seconds, Twitter posts were already going wild over this! And I only searched for the official spelling of Colombia! (haha, my cousin actually asked me to Google it since a bunch of people on Facebook misspelled it.)
Alright, so with that notion we just got ourselves a crying Miss Columbia,a very shocked and confused Miss Philippines and a LOT of raging people out to get Steve Harvey for the mistake. So let's talk about this from different angles, starting from Steve Harvey up to the angry mob.
Steve Harvey- OKAY GUYS enough with the theories on how/why he could've read it wrong because quite frankly it was just an honest mistake. It was not scripted atau anything...he probably just forgot to read "1st runner up" first and went straight ahead for the name. (I was initially confused why he didn't just read 1st runner up first before the real Miss Universe)And what do anda know? turns out he confirmed it himself at the press that he just misread the card. (I was watching the news,okay?) Alright, with that out of the way,let's look at it from his perspective...How would you feel if all of the peoples' attention were on anda at that particular point in time? With this being a Pageant watched sejak literally the whole world-or the universe if anda wanna put it like that, Steve Harvey would have felt the pressure weighing on his seterusnya words even though he was just reading from a card. Think of it this way...you remember those classes where anda would recite a poem atau something in front of a class? Memorized atau not, it's still not surprising if anda were to make a mistake...and that's OKAY, because people make mistakes and like a true man Steve corrected it instead of letting it go just to keep his pride intact from the world. He didn't wait for a cue just for him to go back on stage and break the news that it was all false, he did it himself, to avoid a bigger conflict and to make things right.
To me that would've been better than going to katil only to be haunted sejak nightmares formed from guilt...haha, that would've been terrible considering the seriousness and actual standing of the event. Anyways he already telah diposkan apologies on Twitter for it, so give him a break guys.... ... ... ... Okay, just heard about the post where his Filipino friend supposedly told him the translation for "I'm sorry" was "Tangina" and telah diposkan it,so all I gotta say is...*facepalm* I have yet to find this particular post but if it's true,then I hate to break it to anda because 1) "Tangina" is a curse word and if I had to say an equivalent it would be "motherf***er" and 2) Who the heck translated that thing? Haven't we had enough spite already? The trolls man...oh, and for the information of all "pasensya na/pasensya" is the translation for "I'm sorry" in Filipino. Moving on!
So now that we got that established let's alih on to our very own 2-minute tajuk holder Miss Colombia| Ariadna Gutiérrez but before that let's take a quick recap of Colombia's history in the Miss Universe pageant: Since the Pageant's 64-year history, there were only 2 (and briefly 3) Colombians who were able to bring utama the tajuk "Miss Universe" for their country:Luz marina Zuluaga in 1958, Paulina Vega just last tahun 2014, and for a short amount of roughly 2 minit Ariadna Gutiérrez just this tahun 2015. So with that being said, we can easily imagine how outraged her fellow Colombians were after their moment of celebration was shortly taken from them. Putting the audience aside, we're here to talk about Miss Ariadna.
So analyzing this event, from the window seat, anda would be thinking: It isn't that bad, she could get over it...at least she got the opportunity to make her country happy even for a brief moment.And yes, that is completely agreeable-to me, at least. Honestly if I were to get caught in that situation (let's put the level lower and say it's just a school thing), then I would gladly give the medal to the rightful owner because I'd honestly think them lebih worthy than me, but then again, that could be my reoccurring pessimism. That aside it seems pretty simple if it's only anda yourself at stake here...but what if it's not just anda at stake? And that my friend, is another reason that I think makes it even harder to risk, and add the facts about Colombia's history in the Pageant I think this just puts lebih weight on your shoulders-and in this case Miss Ariadna. When anda got a lot of people's hopes depending on you,the only choice anda got is to make everybody proud...and in a competition this big,the way to achieve that is sejak winning. Clearly, anda could see Ariadna and her fellow Colombians' emotion flow out the moment she heard herself called out there. And for being a big time tajuk holder in just 2 minutes, It's selamat, peti deposit keselamatan to say to say that she still brought utama that Colombian pride. If anda ask me,"1st runner up" is still worth it.
Alright! All this drama aside...let's take a look at Miss Philippines| Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach- So what was Miss Pia's reaction to all this? Well, it was quite obvious how utterly shocked and confused she was (and she even admitted afterwards)but putting that aside it could also be seen how she didn't really expect anything right from that first crowning of Miss Colombia. With her 2 consecutive loses in joining beauty pageants,particularly the "Binibining Pilipinas", I could imagine why she wouldn't,especially since "Miss Universe" is a whole other scale. But then as fate would have had it, she was actually destined to be crowned and woop-de-doo, she was left in the sidelines, completely shocked beyond other movement while her fellow competitors urged her forward--and that's when the complications started.
With the whole world bearing witness to this plot twist (including me) Live, needless to say there were some "violent reactions" and from both Miss Ariadna and Pia's faces it could be berkata that this whole event suddenly dropped to a whole other level of akward. And sejak Pia's perspective...taking back the crown. Now before we continue, let's go back to the moments before this whole fiasco and I don't know about anda but I could clearly see how close Pia and Ariadna were during those countdowns from bahagian, atas 15 up to where they stand now. That being said, let's go back to that painfully akward moment...how the hay would anda feel if anda were in a position like that? Gosh, I'd feel really guilty if that were to happen to me...and I think Pia's feeling it too, considering the "Miss Universe" we just thought for the last few minit was actually false and now tearing up. Geez, no wonder Pia was petrified...and at that moment, I actually thought that their friendship would end then and there just because of that simple mistake. (I'm looking at anda False artikel of Miss Columbia taking Suicide.) Nonetheless...we were still happy that Philippines was able to get the tajuk once again despite some repercussions to be had. But in all honestly, we would still be proud whether atau not she was Miss Universe atau 1st runner up.
So...one soalan remains: Is it an Epic Fail atau an Epic Win? Well...thinking it over,it could be classified as an Epic Fail with Filipino trolls and outraged Colombians going out to get Steve Harvey but looking at it at a different angle, I think this event could also fall under Epic Win,well,at least Miss Columbia thinks so as it garnered the attention she initially wanted for the Latin countries. I mean, think of it this way...they both technically "won" right? Both for the 1st runner up and Miss Universe 2015, so sejak that added with the experiences and friendships they gained along the way, I think this qualifies as a win-win. At least, that's my opinion...What do anda think?

Alright...controversial stuffaroos aside, go check out these pautan I referenced...among other stuff like watching the news and the actual tunjuk live. There were still stuff from here that I failed to mention so read while you're at it--only if you're interested,of course. (Omg, people still watch TV?!....jk jk):
