View Full Version : The Miss Universe contest.......what a mess-up!
Trust me.......I would never watch that thing. I don't know why they still have "beauty" shows. But was watching the news this morning and heard what happened at it. Steve Harvey (the host) named the wrong lady as the winner and they crowned her. Then Steve Harvey said "Oops......I'm really sorry for this, but I named the wrong person."
What a screw up! I'm sure Steve Harvey will never live this down.
I just have to shake my head at the whole thing.

I am betting his info on the cards was not clear..........he has been in the business for a long time.
I hope it was wrong. He sure took responsibility for it, but that might just have been what they asked him to do.......or he is just a person who takes responsibility.
I felt really bad for him, and I hope people get over this quickly...............and get rid of these contests!
My daughter was watching the 'highlight' of this today. I pay no attention to these things, but it really made me feel bad for the young woman who was crowned...and then un-crowned. She just kind of stood there on stage with no idea what to do. The host said the info on the card was right and that it was his fault. It was good that he took ownership of the mess up, but makes you wonder how much the guy gets paid to crack a few hours of stupid jokes and then read the name of the winner. One name. Hopefully his jokes were better than that.

The real winner, Miss Phillipines missed a huge opportunity to be remembered. All she had to do is refuse to be crowned and graciously allow Miss Columbia to retain the crown.

Looks like that will be small potatoes and quickly forgotten in light of the woman running into the crowd outside the Miss Universe pageant and killing one and injuring many more.

Oh......is that where that happened?? How awful.
The whole "contest" thing is so oppressive and creepy that it makes me sad to see such a thing continuing to exist.

I agree with this sentiment.

me, three. And many of them, even the state ones, the scholarships don't even begin to cover what the contestant paid to get that far; lessons, outfits, coaching, hair and make-up. I had two sorority sisters from the same state who did them and told me how they would never recoup the costs since they were little kids unless they won a national title. So why debase yourself was my unasked question, why parade around in your bathing suit if it's not really to win scholarship money? Easy answer, we had 2 BRs for 30-some girls, these two took so long, the President of the house, a gigantic, hysterical lesbian would throw them over her shoulder and carry them away from the mirror. When they competed against each other, the time leading up to it was the most fake crap I've ever seen, "I hope you get it, I really do," simper and bat eyelashes, cue hugs. They were good for house drama, they slept with each other's BFs, they'd get in hair-pulling fights and then when one got a black eye and called the police, we kicked them out. They never fit in in the first place, we were not a sorority of pretty girls looking for their MRS degree. I thought meeting them would change my perspective, yeah, they did, for the worse.
just wow, freshstart....that was pretty entertaining!

it was a very entertaining household, to be a fly on the wall. But we were really diverse, all walks of life so I made friends with people I probably wouldn't have encountered otherwise. Many strong, hard headed women, nothing like the stereotypes of sororities except the nit wits we threw out.

On the sorority bunny trail, I recently really enjoyed the series "Scream Queens".

I heard that was good but it looked really scary. Was it off the chain scary?

Well, it was trying for cheesy-scream-queen scary, and played for comedy most of the time, so it wasn't actually scary, just funny-scary.

I'll give it a go. American Horror Story I couldn't even get through the first season and I love Jessica Lange

American Horror Story is much much darker, all the seasons, and sort of very-creepy-scary with excursions into beyond-boundaries-scary.
Scream Queens is much much more light-hearted, if murder and such can be so.
