| do you think this could be a stunt to attract attention to miss universe, esp. after all the controversy with trump? |
Yea, but the way he walked off the stage and left the contestants there like that, though. Eeew, that was really, really bad. |
I think he could have done more to try and help the contestants through that moment. Someone from the pageant came out (past winner?) and helped transfer the crown from one head to the other. She was rubbing Miss Columbia on the back I think to calm her. |
| Lol, he's such a screwup! He will NEVER live that down. That Columbia woman must be SO upset. I'd need to go lose my shit in private if I were her. |
Or maybe he just assumed the hotter candidate was the winner... |
|
To add insult to injury, he attempted an apology via Twitter but spelled both of the contestant's countries' wrong. |
contestants' countries. |
| It's just a terrible, unbelievable error; but I think he deserves a lot of credit for apologizing profusely and sincerely. |
He's simply not qualified. It's not a mistake it's stupidity. |
Are you honestly saying that a man who reads off cards for a living is not qualified to read off cards? Wow. You are kind of a jerk. He made a horrible mistake but he's certainly not stupid. |
People in this thread are spelling Colombia wrong, too. It happens! |
| Pretty much the most important part of the job of Miss Universe host is not screwing up when it comes to announcing who won Miss Universe. |
Well, he did do it incorrectly. Maybe it's a case of needing glasses like John Travolta's magling of idina menzel's name. |
Or like how some said Jack Palance misread the name of the Oscar winner and just blurted out Mairsa Tomei instead of the real winner. Heh. |
|
I am not buying this being a mistake.
After Miss Colombia was crowned, she waved for over 2 minutes before Steve came back. Why did it take so long for them to react??? Whoever wrote the card must not have gotten the memo that Miss Philippines should be this year's Miss Universe. It's like the 1958 first Tchaikovsky piano competition in Moscow. Lev Vlasenko was going to be awarded. Nobody knew that the 23 year old, tall, good looking American, Van Cliburn will take over the popular vote. So the jury members had to talk to the KGB, who called president Khrushchev, and after a very long wait, Cliburn was awarded the Gold medal. |
