After the 69th Miss Universe coronation night, pageant fans claimed that the recent show was the worst edition ever in the history of the prestigious beauty tilt.
Pageant fans took jabs on the lackluster energies of the hosts, with Olivia Culpo in particular.

Host-impersonator Kaladkaren joked how Culpo got a lipstick change but hasn’t charged up her energies.
Gusto ko yung nakapagpalit ng lipstick si Olivia pero hindi pa rin nakainom ng Cobra. Sis naman 3 am na dito pic.twitter.com/SsQXLecABl

Showbiz personality G3 San Diego compared the contestant’s dull answers to Culpo’s hosting.

Pageant fans also hit on the questionable results as some thought Miss Peru Janick Maceta del Castillo, would have won the crown based on her answers during the Top Five candidates’ Q&A portion.
