We’ve never hosted a competition that subjectively judges women before crowning one Top Female Of 2015, but we imagine there’s a short list of absolute no-nos the MC’s at Miss Universe need to avoid:
- Tiptoe around the fact that it’s not really Miss Universe since the only entrants are from Earth,
- At least pretend the contest isn’t just some vestigial, quasi-sexist ogle-sesh,
- DON’T FUCK UP THE WINNING ANNOUNCEMENT.
That handy how-to guide didn’t stop notable host and moustache-haver Steve Harvey shitting the bed, as he just called the comp in favour of Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez.. Unforch, Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach actually won the thing. Cue some very real surprise.
What follows is pure, uncut, Colombian cringe. Revel in the primo awkwardness of the de-coronation and Harvey’s oh-so desperate attempts to unfuck the situation, ala Sarah Murdoch on Australia’s Next Top Model:

By the way, have a peep at this. Just nuke us from orbit.
