‘You Had One Job!’: Twitter Roasts Steve Harvey For Miss Universe Debacle
First, the big reveal came out wrong after host Steve Harvey announced that Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, was the victor when the card he should have read off stated that Miss Philippines, Mia Wurtzbach, was the real pageant victor.

Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo initially was crowned and blew kisses to the audience for a few minutes on live television before Harvey returned to the stage with an apology.
The long-time comedian did apologize to both Miss Colombia and Miss Philippines and said he is very regretful.
Manny Pacquiao says he has been inspired by Filipino Pia Wurtzbach who won the Miss Universe trophy – and in doing so avenged the boxer’s defeat to Floyd Mayweather back in May. Just a day later, however, she was told she’d actually won the prize of runner-up.
Meanwhile, Colombia’s President Juan Manuel Santos had to reverse a celebratory tweet after discovering that Miss Colombia had been mistakenly named the victor.
Missosology has another post showing numerous contestants chanting “Colombia” even after Miss Philippines was crowned.
“They don’t want the girls to see it”, the source said.
“Social media is how I found out about it”, Watson-Watkins said”. “She looked spectacular. It was such a disappointment when the host said he’d made a mistake”, he said.
Harvey immediately apologized for the mistake calling it a “human error”, and apologized on Twitter.
Manny Pacquiao has hailed the victory of the Philippines at the Miss Universe pageant as his nation’s revenge for the fighter’s defeat by Floyd Mayweather. “I feel so badly but it’s still a great night”. The previous Miss Universe on NBC, in January, reached 7.7 million people. “It was my mistake”, he said on the show.
Ever since Sunday night, conspiracy theorists have had a field day speculating what was really behind Harvey’s gaffe, and Riek’s comments are probably going to fuel a lot of those fires.
