    Steve Harvey Crowns the Wrong Winner at Miss Universe

    http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/stev...ke-1201665876/

    Anyway, Philippines definitely > Colombia. Well deserved win

    How does this even happen?

    Tell Steve Harvey through his ear piece: THE WINNER IS PHILIPPINES. Repeat it like 15 times.

    Wording the card "The first runner up is Colombia" without letting him read the card in advance is just asking for this to happen, since people can easily misread something if they are rushed or nervous.

    Miss Philippines was definitely much more beautiful.

    My guess is that he had his fingers on top of the winner, and mistakenly read "first runner up" as "winner"

    Dude has huge hands

    After watching the clip, it's pretty clear what happened. He's never hosted it before, and they probably didn't tell him the name on the card was the runner up, so he assumed it was the winner. Rather than look like a derp and slowly read the card, he saw the country and assumed it was the winner.



    Without reading this ahead of time or knowing the format/rehearsing it, and doing it live on air I could see how someone would see "1st Runner Up" as "1st place" when reading it quickly, and make the mistake.

    Steve Harvey is still an idiot.

    Why would you make a card like that? First the top line says 3 to 1. Then you put 1st Runner up. And... you put the winner in the opposite corner of where the first two contestants are. Im not saying that Steve shouldnt have noticed but I can see how a mistake could be made.

    Still I like Tinykongs idea, just yell the winner into his earpiece.

    Wait, that was seriously the form they gave him? That's...terrible.

    They couldn't of put it any better on there? I mean, mistakes are mistakes, and they probably should of let him know the base form beforehand, but still.

    Wow, just wow. What a screw up. Terrible for everyone involved.

    I will agree, that card was made to be confusing.
    As a non-native English speaker, what is even up with that 1st and 2nd runner up? Is that some kind of fancy talk for 2nd and 3d place?

    Why the hell would you say "1st runner up" rather than "2nd place"? That's just stupid...

    CONSPIRACY THEORY

    This was done on purpose. No one cares about this pageant anymore (if they ever did) and this stunt was used to garner some good earned media and awareness. ;P

    People make mistakes, I don't think he's really to blame in this case because the formatting of that card is fucking garbage.

    All he did was crown the woman that should have won. It was funny. I caught the end of it and was really entertained by the whole thing.

    Yeah, it's just 2nd and 3rd place.

    Once you put it that way though, I have no idea why "runner up" exists as a term.

    I don't think he's an idiot because of this incident, I think he's an idiot because of many of his other very vocal opinions.
