    Holy Crap!!! Steve Harvey calls wrong winner on Ms Universe contest

    One of the most cringe worthy moments on TV. Ms Colombia's look on her face for a couple minutes because she didn't speak english and had no idea what was going on.

    Why on earth do they put the Runner Up's name on the card? I can see why there was room for confusion. The card should have one name, the winner. Poor Steve Harvey.

      Another reason to tape delay these now. I feel bad for Ms. Columbia. As the director said to Balboa in Rocky II, " Can you just read what's on the cue card?"

            Who knew the old adage that there is no such thing as beauty AND brains extended to the organizers of these things.

              I think it's funny to watch Steve's body language. I am often saying the completely wrong thing in font of groups of others. Call me a stinker, but I see much humour in the video. Albeit too bad, wouldn't it be interesting if there was a cover up here for another's error,&Steve was paid to take the fall for a mistaken tally.

                You are arguably one of the best writers here...yet you spelled Colombia, Columbia...I see that all the time from English only speakers...Colombians hate that...

                  For all we know this whole thing could have been done on purpose as a publicity stunt to draw attention to a contest no one really cares about nowdays.

                    "Colombia" don't look right

                    They need to start spelling it correctly

                      If you wanna go by the original name of the explorer, in which both the District of Columbia and South America's Colombia are named after, then let's look at it closer. The English called him Christopher Columbus. The Spanish called him Cristóbal Colón. The Portuguese called him Cristóvão Colombo.

                      Well, he was Italian...and his real name was Cristoforo Colombo.

                      So the South Americans got it closer than the Yanks...

                        You know what? Screw Colombians...the racist garbage they are flinging at Harvey via Twitter is truly disgusting, shame on them. I'm not providing a link, it's too pathetic to do so.

                        I'm going to call them ColUmbians too...

                          I used to work with a Colombian guy.

                          Nicest guy in the whole world.

                          Used to call him Yogi - because he looked like Yogi Berra

                            Aside from idiots calling him names...this one gets on his case for misspelling both Philippines and Colombia...



                            Spawn67 might be right, publicity stunt...

                              If that was a publicity stunt, then this society is a joke, If it wasn't, talk about embarrassing
                              for all involved. Harvey said "that's what was written on the card" so as if to say
                              please don't blame me, blame the person writing the results on the card.

                              I feel for Colombia, that's something she'll remember the rest of her life.
