Beauty pageants are increasingly questioned, because, according to the public, on several occasions favoritism in competitions is evident. Of course, Miss Universe has not been the exception.
Now that the representative of the United States obtained the victory, a great controversy arose among the spectators, since, apparently, they consider that R’Bonney Gabriel was not the favorite to take the crown.
On January 14, people from all over the world were attentive to the development of the Miss Universe pageant in its 71st edition. However, according to the comments that flooded the networks, the majority of the public was disappointed, as they affirm that again it was very evident that on this occasion the contestant from the United States was favored.
In addition, several celebrities also gave their point of view regarding the beauty pageant, because, as with most of the spectators, they could not believe the final results. For her part, Amanda Dudamel, representative of Venezuela and first finalist, also shared her impressions after the controversial result.
Guys, this was our win, we won, we won much more than a crown, and I’m very happy, so I want you to be too. I love them.
Since the selection of the 16 finalists, many people questioned the decision of the jury, since they left out some of the contestants who were mentioned as public favorites, such as the Mexican Irma Miranda, who after the contest ended, wrote a message thanks on their social networks.
Thank you, God, for allowing me to live these moments, without a doubt, your plans are perfect and I know that life goes on. It remains to learn, enjoy and continue to grow.
R’Bonney Gabriel’s triumphs have been highly questioned, since since she obtained the title of Miss United States, her companions in the contest said that she had not won legally. According to information from Daily MailHeather Lee O’Keefe, candidate for the state of Montana, assured that those in charge of the contest “fixed” the final result to choose her.
From before we already suspected who would win. We were there like puppets to continue the show. All I know is that there was clear and compelling favoritism towards her before and during the competition. She received more resources than us. That is the root of the problem. But I think all the facts point to the fact that she received preferential treatment.
