Miss USA Olivia Culpo is now considered Miss Universe and the most beautiful woman in the world. However, her victory came as a big surprise as a majority of the viewership was expecting Miss Philippines Janine Tugonon to win the prize. Tugonon ended up in second place, but a number of users exploded on Twitter with their disappointment over the loss. Here are a few comments.
@claraquiambao: #MissUniverse2012 QUESTION: What point in the competition did Miss USA had a lead over Miss Philippines? ... ANSWER: PAGEANT LOCATION!
@paolovalenciano: Dear miss USA. U are very beautiful inside and out. Congrats! .... But.... miss Philippines is very beautifuler.
@EpiqueRomance: Seriously tho, I think Miss Philippines should've won. I should be proud USA won but naahh, we all know what happened. :)
@mjfelipe: "@DonaldJTrumpJr: So what did you guys think of the #MissUniversePagent this evening?" - Seriously, Miss Philippines shouldve won. :(
@michael5inco: Miss Philippines deserves to win...and I think we should be happy and celebrate...we should not be negative everytime na natatalo tayo...
@Mhartinn: Miss USA won because the pageant was held in the U.S.A! Miss Philippines should have won! She had a better answer & was for more deserving.
@TheArchiTEKS: Congrats to Miss USA for becoming Miss Universe! To Miss Philippines... You know how much we got your back!!! 2 Wins in One! =)
@officialTIMYAP: A victory, nonetheless. Congratulations Miss Philippines@Janine_Tugonon. Miss Universe, 1st runner-up. You made us proud. #MissUniverse2012
@_AsianProblems_: Miss Philippines should have won #MissUniverse
@krisaquino214: We stopped taping to listen to Miss Universe results. Our country has come a long way! I loved Janine's smoky makeup. @vicegandakos
The Philippines has not won the pageant since 1973 when Margarita Moran won. The only other time that the country has won the contest was in 1969 when Gloria Diaz was crowned Miss Universe.
In addition to the snub of Tugonon, a great deal of Twitter users also poked fun at the competition's name of Miss Universe.
@khayadlanga: All the Miss Universe contestants are from planet earth. Match fixing I say.
@lexierae13: Kinda selfish that Earth hosts Miss Universe every year
@Skyler_H2: Shouldn't we consult some of the other galaxies before naming one of our people Miss Universe?
@JohnnyPatziel: How come the winner of Miss Universe is always from Earth?
Should Tugonon have won the competition? Or was Olivia Culpo deserving of the award?
