Miss Universe 2015 is ... uh ... Miss Colombia! Uh, no it's Miss Philippines!

It dawns on Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, on what just happened!

OH, NO! Somehow, this beauty pageant was able to find a way onto Views From The Edge, which normally refrains from writing about events that use women for all the wrong reasons.

Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, won the coveted Miss Universe crown but for two minutes, the world - actually, the entire universe - thought the winner was Miss Colombia, Ariadna Guiterrez because of huge gaff by emcee Steve Harvey.

With the two finalists holding hands, waiting with baited breath as Harvey opened the enveloped, Harvey misread the final results and announced Miss Colombia, as the new Miss Universe. Huge applause, Guiterrez was in tears as Miss Universe 2014, Paulina Vega, crowned who she thought was her successor. Gutierrez walked down the catwalk amid cheers, waving her hand to the adoring crowd in Las Vegas.

As she returned to center stage, Harvey announced, "I apologize ..." and corrected his error. Both Wurtzbach and Guiterrez looked stunned. Neither knew exactly what was happening.

Harvey was sincerely apologetic and took full blame for the error. But for the two finalists, the moment that was supposed to be magical, was spoiled. Gutierrez put on a brave smile as the crown was transferred to Wurtzbach.

When the cameras turned off. Tears flowed again.

When the cameras turned off, contestants consoled Miss Colombia, Ariadne Guiterrez.

Also making the Final Ten was Miss Japan, Ariana Minamoto. She has a Japanese mother and an African/American father who was born and raised in Japan. She revealed in her televised segment that when she was a child her friends wouldn't hold her hand because they feared the color of her skin would rub off on them. 

Miyamoto said she was inspired to compete for the pageant after a fellow biracial Japanese friend committed suicide after years of being bullied.

The final three contestants, which included Miss USA Olivia Jordan, were asked why they should be crowned the new Miss Universe.

Wurtzbach said she wanted to use her voice to inspire young people.

"I will use my voice to influence the youth, to use my voice to raise HIV awareness," she said.

"I want to show the world, the universe rather, that I am confidently beautiful with a heart."

Wurtzbach called the crowning gaff "very 2015" in a video released by the pageant.

"It's a very ... non-traditional crowning moment," she said, struggling to find the right words and still trying to make sense of what just transpired.

Even if Wurtzbach and Guiterrez were beauty contest participants, they are still human beings and you can't help but feel sympathy for the two women. Now their names forever will be linked together in Miss Universe history, (well, maybe not "forever" but at least for another week) for all the wrong reasons.
