Miss Singapore loses out; Miss Colombia takes Miss Universe crown
While Miss Singapore didn't make the top 15, the show still had to go on.
The beautiful and stunning Miss Colombia Pauline Vega won the Miss Universe crown in Miami earlier.
Miss Colombia impressed during the question and answer round.
In response to the (admittedly ridiculous) question "What can women learn from men?", she answered via a translator that some men believe in equality and that's what women should learn from men.
But that question was comparatively simple. Miss USA was asked to deliver a message to global terrorists.
Miss Jamaica was given the statement that "one in three women will experience domestic violence",
She was then given the thirty seconds to say what she would do to keep that number down.
The organisers keeping it light there.
