Miss Universe Drops the Ball ... and the Crown

It wouldn't be a pageant if something didn't fall to the ground -- but this year during the Miss Universe competition, it wasn't one of the contestants ... it was the crown!

Last year's Miss Universe, Venezuela's Dayana Mendoza, dropped it at the worst possible moment: When crowning the new beauty queen, Stefania Fernandez, also of Venezuela.

6. So what? It's live TV and what do you expect when two people are jumping up and down? Besides, at least we didn't have to look at or hear that awful Carrie Prewhore and how Biblically correct she is. How did the Universe pageant ever carry (no punintended) on without the theatrics of Prewhore? Let me guess, she was busy fending off the wind, right?

10. Congratulations to miss venezuela, but I am so upset how they rarely choose black women to be in the top 15. Europeans are not the only beautiful women jeez! Most of them didn't even know how to speak English. I'm so disappointed that they only chose one black girl (Miss South Africa) and she didn't even make it to top 5. Miss Universe Organization foul. Black women are just as smart and beautiful. In and out.And those Africa women were stunning. They are mad natural no surgery! Miss Universe Organization should be more diverse.

11. My gosh when we will finally have an end to these pagents? They are so out dated. The rating are tanking for reasons. Do we really need to parade ladies around on the stgae like it was 1956?

It is so sick to see women like this, who need this type of validation to feel like someone.

Its worse with the CHILD pagents. Those tools those poor kids have for partents...
