Miss France Iris Mittenaere Wins Miss Universe 2016

Wazzup Pilipinas!

After 63 years, Iris Mittenaere of France wins for the second time the Miss Universe title. The 1st Runner Up is Haiti, followed by Colombia at 2nd Runner Up.

That seems to be a close one between Haiti and France. France seemed to be the total package.  But don't even fight me on this. Miss Haiti's answer had way more substance than France's. Well, the judges have the final decision on who to put on top. France may have won the crown, but they say Haiti won the crowd.
Iris Mittanaere made history in #MissUniverse as first non-performer at Moulin Rouge allowed to wear the cabaret costume in the competition. She is the second candidate to win a crown from her country. First was in 1953.

I seldom see France in hot top picks during the preliminaries but she proved to us that an unpopular can nail the Miss Universe crown.

I saw the eyes of Ms.Colombia she badly want to be Miss Universe. Maybe because they almost had it last year if not for the wrong announcement that was immediately corrected leaving Philippines as the real winner.

Malacanang, specifically by Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella, also sent out a congratulations to France for being the new Miss Universe for 2016, and to Maxine for making it to the Top 6 finalists.

It was humorous when Pia interrupted the announcement to give @IAmSteveHarvey his eyeglasses before he reveals who among Haiti and France won the top title. "A year late but thank you" say Steve. Unknown to many, that scene was actually rehearsed earlier to bring in some comedy to the pageant.

"If this happens again, I will not leave the Philippines" remarks Steve.

I was waiting for Steve to say he messed up but when he said "I'm Steve Harvey, and I got it right!" as his final words, that's the real result. There's no error for bespectacled Steve Harvey this time.

"Hi, I'm Steve Harvey and welcome to the The Royal Rumble!

I'm sorry everyone, what I meant to say was Ms. Universe. I apologize."

Pia's gown was everythaang! Her reign started and ended with a blue gown. So classy. Indeed, the best Miss U!

Bashers are coming to town. They won't remain quiet but still it won't change anything. With or without the crown, we have to thank Maxine for doing a great job making it up to the top 6!

To be able to come up with an immediate witty and substantial answer is truly hard when you're the one sweating it out up there on the #MissUniverse stage. The nerve-cracking experience would never fade away no matter how well practiced or researched you are with current events and trends.

Though Maxine fell short to deliver a significant impact with her answer, it was hardly a surprise based from her previous interviews. Imagine all the stress she also had to go through after all that bashing. She may have felt so heavily burdened with the effort to please all the Filipinos whose eyes and ears were now on her.

But the sad reality is that her shortcoming caused her the chance to be on the top three, and even to miss the opportunity to become the new Miss Universe for 2016.
