The plot couldn't have been twisted better [or worse]. Harvey mistakenly crowned Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, as the winner of the beauty pageant. The girl obviously went ecstatic, blowing air kisses to the crowd and trying on her new crown, just to be stopped by the host's words:
"I have to apologize… The first runner-up is Colombia… [After a long pause] Miss Universe 2015 is Philippines," Harvey said, without a doubt, majorly disappointing Gutierrez.
The camera then focused on Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, who stood in awe looking completely stunned. The host then took the crown back from the head of downhearted Miss Colombia and crowned the winner.

"I'll take responsibility for this. It was my mistake… Still a great night. Please don't hold it against the ladies. Please don't. We feel so badly, but it's still a great night. Thank you all."
As usually, the Internet was quick to react following the incident.
