Her hair was a mess in both the prelims and finals, her makeup made her look old and dry, her frame looked skeletal in her swimsuit, and her gown was ill-fitting and looked very generic (did her org actually pack a gown for her???).
From her much-maligned wardrobe throughout the pageant to her bizarre answer in the Q&A (where she jumped from the disconnected “freedom of the press” to caring about people), it was clear she was NOT Miss Universe material.
In fact, although Miss Vietnam’s looks could get quite polarizing and her English was far from good (at least she didn’t engage in “cheating by using an interpreter even if she could speak English” strategy), Vietnam’s charm and personality just kept shining through and I would bet my ass that pageant fans would be totally supportive if she had made it as far as 1st RU. Can’t say the same for the very overrated yet underperforming Puerto Rico.

Agree! Thought I was the only one who thought Puerto Rico really looked out of place in the Top 5; guess I'm not. I don't know, but for me, she looks untidy when the Top 5 were standing right next to each other. Even her stunning smile cannot save her at that point. I was actually surprised when she was called in the Top 5.

Anyway, we can all give our opinions and I did feel the same about Steve

He does need to watch his expressions. I remember him having a constantly strange look on his face (weird stares) in 2015 toward the contestant and interpreter every time there was an interview.

I think she generally hates pageants but she praised Catriona and nothing is impossible but Tyra Banks would be a great host. She is the "girl boss" IMG is trying to promote and has hosted ANTM and Americas Got Talent.
If not her, what about Cat Deeley? She hosts So You Think You Can Dance which is also on FOX and is British which would make the telecast even more international or even Fergie, she performed at Miss Universe in 2017 and now hosts a singing competition on FOX and is pretty well known. If Mel B (who I also thought was great) hosted in the past, I do not see why she cannot host.
Cat or Fergie would be more logical but any of the above would do so much better and be more empowering than fucking Steve Harvey.

A woman or gay man host would be great! Jonathan of Queer Eye watched this year's Miss Universe based on his Twitter. I want him to host - entertaining and modern!

Miss Wax Museum was the one who left Steve Harvey on stage when SHE should have waited for his cue to leave the stage; that was why Steve gave that comical look.
Nia was also incorrect in downplaying USA’s role in that whole Mean Girls drama. Sarah’s comment on Cambodia was indeed taken out of context: she wasn’t shading Cambodia, but was actually imagining how hard it must be for her to not speak English while nobody else in the world spoke Cambodia’s language. But Sarah WAS totally shading Vietnam for “pretending to understand English” during their conversations when Vietnam didn’t. Sarah definitely DESERVED to clap, considering she was NOT a strong candidate to begin with the moment she stepped foot in Bangkok.
