180091, why has this never been a problem in the 50+ yr history of the pageant?

LOL

AFAIK at the end there are 3 women remaining in competition for the title. the host tells the audience which has won 2nd runner up. then the host announces the winner of the title.

so i believe it should've gone:

the 2nd runner up is Miss USA!

the new Miss Universe is Miss Philippines!

and by default we'd all know Miss Colombia won 1st runner up.

this has not been confusing for most hosts from what i've seen (but i don't watch a lot of pageants). this particular pageant has been running since the early 50s and beyond and i've not heard about this mix-up having happened before this year.
