Now, to turn this into a proper CEP thread, you may discuss whether it was because: a. She has short hair; b. She is black (only 4 black ladies have won Miss Universe before); or c. She isn't from a economic or pagent powerhouse country (ie outside of the first world and Latin America).
I thought it was because her answers to the questions were just totally horrible (not like anyone else's were amazing, but...).
We were rooting for her too. Her dress was amazing.
I have seen people on the internet criticizing her answer about her country's contributions. What else could she have said? Jamaica *is* known worldwide for its music and Olympic sprinters (and Cool Runnings too, but that would have been a silly answer). It was a predictable answer but I think anything else would have been an exaggeration.
Sucked to be Miss Ukraine for that question, and to a lesser extent, Miss Colombia. Hell, sucked to be Miss USA for that question too because anything she could have said would have come off as too "America Fuck Yeah!" to everyone. Miss Netherlands had the best chance of giving a decent answer but she was too vague.

I thought the DV answer was a cop out as well.
Oh yeah, I wasn't crazy about that one but I remember thinking all five of them must have been in a competition to give the vaguest, shortest answer during that round. So really, she was no better or worse than anyone else during that round.
