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 dakika 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 muziki played in the background. "is..."
Stray shouts from the mashabiki 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 kondoo was released, the crowds broke into chants as they celebrated the yet again win for Colombia. The lady in swali then celebrated herself as she took and waved a flaglet of Colombia whilst Paulina Vega, the awali 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 alisema that Colombians were ecstatic to finally have yet another Miss Universe title 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 wewe 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 televisheni 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 dakika 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 au 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 wewe 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 wewe at that particular point in time? With this being a Pageant watched kwa literally the whole world-or the universe if wewe wanna put it like that, Steve Harvey would have felt the pressure weighing on his inayofuata words even though he was just reading from a card. Think of it this way...you remember those classes where wewe would recite a poem au something in front of a class? Memorized au not, it's still not surprising if wewe 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 kitanda only to be haunted kwa nightmares formed from guilt...haha, that would've been terrible considering the seriousness and actual standing of the event. Anyways he already ilitumwa 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 ilitumwa 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 wewe 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 songesha on to our very own 2-minute title 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 nyumbani the title "Miss Universe" for their country:Luz marina Zuluaga in 1958, Paulina Vega just last mwaka 2014, and for a short amount of roughly 2 dakika Ariadna Gutiérrez just this mwaka 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, wewe 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 zaidi worthy than me, but then again, that could be my reoccurring pessimism. That aside it seems pretty simple if it's only wewe yourself at stake here...but what if it's not just wewe 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 zaidi weight on your shoulders-and in this case Miss Ariadna. When wewe got a lot of people's hopes depending on you,the only choice wewe got is to make everybody proud...and in a competition this big,the way to achieve that is kwa winning. Clearly, wewe could see Ariadna and her fellow Colombians' emotion flow out the moment she heard herself called out there. And for being a big time title holder in just 2 minutes, It's salama to say to say that she still brought nyumbani that Colombian pride. If wewe 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 alisema that this whole event suddenly dropped to a whole other level of akward. And kwa 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 wewe but I could clearly see how close Pia and Ariadna were during those countdowns from juu 15 up to where they stand now. That being said, let's go back to that painfully akward moment...how the nyasi, nyasi kavu would wewe feel if wewe 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 dakika 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 wewe False makala of Miss Columbia taking Suicide.) Nonetheless...we were still happy that Philippines was able to get the title once again despite some repercussions to be had. But in all honestly, we would still be proud whether au not she was Miss Universe au 1st runner up.
So...one swali remains: Is it an Epic Fail au 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 kwa 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 wewe think?

Alright...controversial stuffaroos aside, go check out these viungo I referenced...among other stuff like watching the news and the actual onyesha 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):
