Botswana is the best reaction in Miss Universe's history so far. And deserve the crown. She is beautiful inside out till now still do humanitarian activities.
The answer just came out from Botswana effortlessly, she didn’t even have to think twice to answer it, it’s like the thought has always been in her subconscious mind, it just shows how educated and aware she was despite her young age. From her expression, I think she didn’t even think that she nailed the question, because she just answered from her heart.
I was hoping for a Philippine win but seeing how Botswana used her voice and platform (plus she studied and worked hard) I know the judges chose well..this woman is amazing!
We all have different callings, and I don't think those who chose to purse a career in the entertainment industry are any less compared to those who pursued humanitarian works.
Spain and Philippines had leading scores in previous rounds of the semi-final competition. Botswana almost didn't make the cut to the final 5. Right after Botswana openned her mouth and spoke, we knew who would be the new MU. During the final question portion, a dark horse can suddenly swoop in and snatch the prize, at the same time oodsmakers' favorite contenders can lose their touch under this pressure cooker.
Actually if you calculate the average scores heading into the top five, Philippines was in fifth, so it was her that almost missed the five. Heading into the top 3 again Philippines was third, so in reality she was lucky to end up 2nd. South Africa and Venezuela were actually tied for first in the top five average wise. Had it been 2000 when semifinal interviews were cut out, that would have been a different story
@@reprolover11 the fact that the Philippines, who was second in gown and swimsuit, was almost cut out of the top 5 due to her low interview score, made me wonder if that is one of the reasons they drop the semi-finals interview starting next year onward.
@@PungiFungi Maybe. It was probably one of their first steps into moving into what the pageant became in the 2000s. Less focus on QandA and more on the physical aspect
All of their answers are agreeable. But Miss Botswana delivered it in the most confident way. She is very sure with her answer. She deserves the crown. But still, our very own Miss Philippines Miriam Quiambao did a great job.
Aaah ganito pala answer ni Meriam... she’s so close to bring home the crown, she seemed nervous but she’s simple and beautiful. I was very young when i watched this lol
Although I was rooting for Philippines (because I'm from the Philippines), with Botswana's answer, I knew she would be Miss Universe. Sayang talaga si Miriam. Napangunahan sya ng kaba... :-(
Hahaha hindi lahat.dont get me wrong, but if based lang sa final q, i guess miss botswana deserved it , she nailed it. Unlike meriam, kung kelan last q na sana dun pa kinabahan! sayang kung wala tong final q nato ,she mustve been the 3rd Pinay MU!
Both Miss Spain and Miss Philippines didn’t do any good in answering the question. Miss Bosnia delivered it well with a smart response delivered with an oozing confidence and great smile, not to mention sincere politeness. Miss Spain could have done it but she treated the question as if she was talking with her peer not to a host of intl pageant. Miss Philippines made a wrong intro, negativity and then circled around resulting to a messy and unclear answer . So the crown went to the right one, she is also the most beautiful and dignified looking amongst the three.
@@capiztirzo2724 Wag kang TANGA! Binase ang pagpanalo ni Botswana sa sagot nya. Sige nga, masasabi mo bang mas maganda ang sagot ni Miriam eh obvious namang kabado sya. Don't get me wrong, I adore Miriam. Pero sa final Q&A, Miss Botswana DESERVED it!!!
Mpule nailed it. She speaks with confidence and substance. More than that, she has her Miss Universe aura. Though I'm rooting for Miriam, Mpule is much more deserving to win. :))
@@enzo_kho lol miss universe is not about the gown it's about attitude, brain and beauty...Miss Botswana Nailed it...and I must say she deserve to win..I am rooting for our miss Quiambao but she fell short of the answer..
Actually Miriam's answer is good it's just that she seem so nervous and it showed. She wasn't able to deliver her answer with confidence. Botswana's answer is good too but the only difference is that she spoke with such confidence and certainty which is probably what gave her the win. Sometimes in a Q&A like this, it's really all about the delivery of your answer. I must say Miss Botswana do deserve the crown that year. Miriam is great too. 💖
I didn't like Philippines answer....there was no solid content, she should continue her reign if she had persued all her goals....?? I mean doesn't make sense....
I think it's the influence of the "culture" that made her choke. In Filipino culture...especially back in 1999, it's almost like a bad thing to get pregnant in the middle of something very important - like in the middle of being Miss Universe, for example. That's why she said "that's a very difficult situation to be in". She wasn't enthusiastic with her answer, that it's alright to be pregnant, because it's years and years of that kind of mentality...that it's difficult to be pregnant in the middle of an important life event [Miss Universe reign, for example].
It depends on the judges. I remember back in 1976 and 1984 the winner has an awkward interview but won by beauty alone. Back in 1970s I remember some in top 5 answer a short one liner answer and ended up winner or first runner up because their beauty alone is so impressive
Botswana 🇧🇼 is the prettiest for me and she answered the question with confidence. Just because you are pregnant doesn’t mean you cannot fulfill your duty, a Queen never stop and should not stop her from helping her people just because she is pregnant.
Is the prettiest? Stupid am not racist, I love blacks too but Spain and Philippines are prettier, Botswana just defeated them in the final question round, dont be blind and hypocrite...Black ladies who have pretty faces are Leila Lopez of Angola, Claudia Julissa Cruz of Dominican Republic Miss World first runner up 2004, Kerishnee Naicker South Africa in 1998, Tamaryn Green first runner Up Miss Universe 2018 south Africa, Michaela Reis Miss World first runner up 2007 of Angola, Yendy Phillips Of Jamaica 2010, Sonia Roland of France 2000 top10 , Monaliza Alcantara 2017 of Brazil and Miss International 2014 Valerie Hernandez from Puerto Rico...
@@desireeeliz4238 As you can see I said “for me” because I am entitled of my own opinion, so there is no need to call me stupid and hypocrite and how am I stupid and a hypocrite when I am only stating my own opinion, seems like you have an entitlement issue. And why did you bring out all of the other years ahead of Miss Universe when clearly I am talking about this specific year?? Also, I am of mixed race Filipino, Swiss and German and in the Philippines our first ancestors are African looking. Again, it is my opinion and I am entitled of that as you are too, so don’t call me stupid or hypocrite since you seem to be the one and have an issue understanding “an opinion.”

although Miriam choked on the question, she had an amazing performance and i am so happy for mpule. it was well deserved and certainly she isn't just her answer as a commenter would say--she was so regal, queenly, and well-spoken. she is WELL received in the Philippines so let's not create any unnecessary rife by making harsh generalizations. these two are queens in their own rite and Mpule and Miriam are true embodiments of femininity.

In 0:40 the national director of Botswana was really glad and surprised for Mpule's placement in Top 3... see many other national directors near her were so happy, too...
Now I was kid back then but viewing this on how they responded to that question Spain I love her I thought she was going to nail it, she answered part of it but was incomplete.....Now Philippines I appreciate her answer but got a little nervous, Botswana without a doubt respect that point definitely determined herself to be MISS UNIVERSE 💯🇧🇼
Botswana hands down nailed the final question and eventually won the Miss U 1999 crown. Miriam on the other hand hand her crown on the bag had she manage to have a winning answer.

Mirriam Quiambao is the most babaihan and elegante pure Pinay representative to Miss U. Botsawana deserves the crown for that wonderful answer and I think this is their first.
Based on the final answer Botswana deserved to win fair and square but Philippines was just amazing all throughout the competition. Miriam is one of the most beautiful and elegant Miss Philippines at Miss Universe.

@@WifeyandRinChicago this should be her personal answer.. to put culture issue in this Q&A giving her a not strong answer. As MU, she should change that mentality.
They have the same answer. The Intelligent answer is actually to say that the Miss Universe should be FIRED! Miriam is super intelligent, she knows the right answer. But decided to get Political. Janine Togonon and Miriam Quiambao as well Charlene Bonin are Batch Mates in the same University. So they all made the same mistake. Miriam and Janine knew what they were suppose to say! GLORIA DIAZ made it very Clear!!!!! The answers of both Miriam and Botswana were not Intelligent! 99% of Filipinos do not understand why that answer was not smart. MIRIAM clearly knew it was the wrong answer.
If not for the final question ..Philippines is the winner ....Miriam is the Miss Universe that we never had .. what elegeant , graceful and poise lady 🙏🏻😪🥰
It's like Miss Universe 2000. You can see who's gonna win based on their answer. Botswana answer so smoothly and was the only one who's able to do so here, just like India in MU 2000.
Beauty counts too. India was a terrific speaker, given her semi-finals interview. If there was a top 6, she would've moved on and maybe even made the final 3. But I doubt she would've won.
I really love the answer from Ms. Botswana. She gave us the opportunity to share with us her judgement. And that crowned Miss Universe should uphold women power and dignity irregardless of her condition during her reign. BUT!!! With reservation. 😉
When a queen becomes pregnant . Then the more she should reign . Having one Feminine powers is to bear a child. The title would make her more influential not just ladies but those who likes to bear a child.❤️
Miss Philippines is so elegant and more beautiful among in the top 3 but you never denied that Miss Botswana nailed the Question round!!! Anyone in 2021???
I know it’s unfortunate when all night she’s scoring high and well then at the most critical moment she performs subpar. Almost like Irene Esser in 2012. Oh well, either you answer well or you don’t.
I love the filipina look of my kabayang Miriam but the answer of Ms. Bostwana is winner. She deserves to win the crown. And one of the best Ms. U year because it was a fair competition.
SPAIN: Has a point but not elaborated by the translator. PHILIPPINES: Strong answer but she didn't justified and clear things out. BOTSWANA: What we wanna hear.
spain did not say well, she said “I believe so, I wouldn’t have any problem, her head would still keep staying there, even if she is pregnant to bring into the world, always in a while don’t make it difficult to her faculties to travel, but in that case, I don’t find solution”. The interpreter definitely had a hard time translating it cuz of her accent.
For me the miss universe winner if she pregnant she not able to continue her reign as miss universe,because she needs to care about the baby,life is most important than reign,and i thank u 😊😊😊
The year i started to like pageants, i remember the famous fall of Miriam Quiambao and that elegant comeback. I was 11 , and i liked it eversince. But this year MU20 was a bit disappointing.
@@cristobalsalcedomariscal8209 well i am not referring to the winner though. I watched the whole show, prelim vids to the finals and it is lacking the essence of the pageant i am used to see
Botswana stole the show and ran away with the crown with her brilliant answer....Miss Spain gave an incomplete answer and Philippines was nervous and choked big time.
One of the most elegant representatives of Philippines in Miss Universe history.
but she was pragmatic with her answer...too bad.
Philippines deserved to be the winner in 1999 and the first runner up shold be Spain.

There was a “controversy” of thought that she owned Miss Universe Botswana in 2019 but she said it was false
Botswana is the best reaction in Miss Universe's history so far. And deserve the crown. She is beautiful inside out till now still do humanitarian activities.
i am a fil needless to say im rooting for meriam.but the final q nailed perfectly where they ahouldve landed. miss bots is a best choice!
No! For me Miss India's Sushmita Sen, Miss Universe 1994 had the best reaction so far.
no way for Botswana.thts why after there was no mention of Botswana again having won or joined MUP again.
Maybe you didn't watch the 2018 edition of miss universe
The answer just came out from Botswana effortlessly, she didn’t even have to think twice to answer it, it’s like the thought has always been in her subconscious mind, it just shows how educated and aware she was despite her young age. From her expression, I think she didn’t even think that she nailed the question, because she just answered from her heart.
The most diverse Top 3 in MISS U history
Asia,Africa & Europe
lols there's also 2018- latina, african, asian
Totally!!!
Botswana is the best Miss Universe winner ever, instead of ended up being movie actress or model, she's ended up working in the UN for humanitarian
I was hoping for a Philippine win but seeing how Botswana used her voice and platform (plus she studied and worked hard) I know the judges chose well..this woman is amazing!

Now I was kid back then but viewing this on how they responded to that question Spain I love her I thought she was going to nail it, she answered part of it but was incomplete.....Now Philippines I appreciate her answer but got a little nervous, Botswana without a doubt respect that point definitely determined herself to be MISS UNIVERSE 💯🇧🇼
MOST DIVERSE TOP 3
Caucasian, Asian and Black African
Who came here after reading Miriam's published book entitled "he can catch you when you fall"
🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 1999 is Beautiful..
Botswana hands down nailed the final question and eventually won the Miss U 1999 crown. Miriam on the other hand hand her crown on the bag had she manage to have a winning answer.
Bostawana was the total package! So glad she won!
I think it's the influence of the "culture" that made her choke. In Filipino culture...especially back in 1999, it's almost like a bad thing to get pregnant in the middle of something very important - like in the middle of being Miss Universe, for example. That's why she said "that's a very difficult situation to be in". She wasn't enthusiastic with her answer, that it's alright to be pregnant, because it's years and years of that kind of mentality...that it's difficult to be pregnant in the middle of an important life event [Miss Universe reign, for example].
Mirriam Quiambao is the most babaihan and elegante pure Pinay representative to Miss U. Botsawana deserves the crown for that wonderful answer and I think this is their first.
Miss Botswana is stunning!!!
Mpule, the best answer. 👌
Botswana is a walking Goddess. 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Perfect sets of beauty! Truly asia,latina,africana..
European ....Spain is belong to Europe and Latina is different from Spaniard
@@darkunicorn1203 indeed Latina is from Latin America which former colony of Spain from American continent
they all seemed friendly and just happy with each other, i feel no tension at all ☺️
No social media in this time..loves it.
Philippines obviously was the favorite here, but her answer has no impact:(
She was the crowd favorite Because she slip during this pageant but manage to stand up gracefully.
but who is the winner?
Based on the final answer Botswana deserved to win fair and square but Philippines was just amazing all throughout the competition. Miriam is one of the most beautiful and elegant Miss Philippines at Miss Universe.

@@WifeyandRinChicago this should be her personal answer.. to put culture issue in this Q&A giving her a not strong answer. As MU, she should change that mentality.
I'm from Philippines but I must say that Botswana have the best answer to the question. Fair judging. Congrats
They have the same answer. The Intelligent answer is actually to say that the Miss Universe should be FIRED! Miriam is super intelligent, she knows the right answer. But decided to get Political. Janine Togonon and Miriam Quiambao as well Charlene Bonin are Batch Mates in the same University. So they all made the same mistake. Miriam and Janine knew what they were suppose to say! GLORIA DIAZ made it very Clear!!!!! The answers of both Miriam and Botswana were not Intelligent! 99% of Filipinos do not understand why that answer was not smart. MIRIAM clearly knew it was the wrong answer.
@@eduardochavacanowhat are you even talking about wtf
The most graceful recovery by a contestant goes to Miss Miriam Quiambao.
This was the first time Botswana sent a delegaye from their country and I think the last. :'(
yeah no bias. butswana deserves the crown. but still am proud of ms philippines(she was nervous though that's why). i am a filipino.
If not for the final question ..Philippines is the winner ....Miriam is the Miss Universe that we never had .. what elegeant , graceful and poise lady 🙏🏻😪🥰
I see Pia Wurtzbach in Miss Philippines ...So elegant, pretty, and smart..
Elegant and pretty, yes but smart, hmmm, not the same level as Pia.
Not Only Pia, she seems like Janine Tugonon
@@Kawin0060 yeah miriam does resemble like janine more than pia
Pia is a moron! Worse MU ever!
Mary Marro still can’t get over about your loser miss colombia? Hahahaha
Deserving Botswana 🎉❤
Botswana was so cute. She looks like a flower girl.😄
Hahaha nyetang BABY FLOWER GIRL haha
Kala ko sasagala ng princessita
Queen
MESS Botswana is so beautiful and intelligent ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's like Miss Universe 2000. You can see who's gonna win based on their answer. Botswana answer so smoothly and was the only one who's able to do so here, just like India in MU 2000.
Mpule is even better than Lara Dutta. Lara just speaks much better English but her intelligence is not applied at the right direction.
Beauty counts too. India was a terrific speaker, given her semi-finals interview. If there was a top 6, she would've moved on and maybe even made the final 3. But I doubt she would've won.
They look beautiful and kind real women
I really love the answer from Ms. Botswana. She gave us the opportunity to share with us her judgement. And that crowned Miss Universe should uphold women power and dignity irregardless of her condition during her reign. BUT!!! With reservation. 😉
very strong answer Botswana , well deserved win!
When a real queen gets pregnant there is no way to stop her reign because a celebration and continuation of her heir is now breathing.
Mpule got it by rolling her eyes all the time , that's a trademark
When a queen becomes pregnant . Then the more she should reign .
Having one Feminine powers is to bear a child.
The title would make her more influential not just ladies but those who likes to bear a child.❤️
Beautiful Miss Bostawana!!!🤩👑🔥
That is really a one tough question. But Botswana just claimed the question and answered it really well
Miss Miriam Quiambao is one of the Philippines' Best Miss U that we never had.
I love that Halson’s gown ❄️
The most beautiful Philippines Queen had been sent to Miss Universe.
Wow Botswana answered it best. Greetings from the Philippines
Agree po..
Miss Philippines is so elegant and more beautiful among in the top 3 but you never denied that Miss Botswana nailed the Question round!!! Anyone in 2021???
Miss Bostwana is very confident with her answer no wonder why she won. 😍😍😍
I think the organizations wants Miss Philippines to win the crown, but because of the q&a got her down. 1st runner up is her destiny. 💜
Botswana most beautiful and nice girl intelligent
Miriam Quiambao clammed up. She was almost there. She was favored to win but she clammed up.
I agree. That night was her night.
She messed up
@@gandakaghorl Apparently, not she didn't win!
Yes, that was her night
Bostawana was the best candidate and that is why she won!!
The 3rd Crown for the Philippines 🇵🇭
*unfortunately it didn't happened
"she clammed up, she really clammed up, it's a shame really"
I know it’s unfortunate when all night she’s scoring high and well then at the most critical moment she performs subpar.
Almost like Irene Esser in 2012. Oh well, either you answer well or you don’t.
I love the filipina look of my kabayang Miriam but the answer of Ms. Bostwana is winner. She deserves to win the crown. And one of the best Ms. U year because it was a fair competition.
One of the best 3 finalist. Very good judging.
SPAIN: Has a point but not elaborated by the translator.
PHILIPPINES: Strong answer but she didn't justified and clear things out.
BOTSWANA: What we wanna hear.
Spain actually answered just fine, but translator made it worst.
spain did not say well, she said “I believe so, I wouldn’t have any problem, her head would still keep staying there, even if she is pregnant to bring into the world, always in a while don’t make it difficult to her faculties to travel, but in that case, I don’t find solution”.
The interpreter definitely had a hard time translating it cuz of her accent.
For me the miss universe winner if she pregnant she not able to continue her reign as miss universe,because she needs to care about the baby,life is most important than reign,and i thank u 😊😊😊
I'm a Filipino but Botswana deserve the crown. Ganto dapat mga judges to be fair Lang jusko Ngayon Ewan ko Lang ahhaha
No one cares about your nationality
I still admire Miriam though she didn't won. We can't blame her. It's hard to win Miss Universe.
Bostawana won because she was the best candidate...by far!!🤩
@@minion0777 i do agree.. beautiful at all.levels in mind, Heart, and physically unbeatable. She can walk with heels !
The year i started to like pageants, i remember the famous fall of Miriam Quiambao and that elegant comeback. I was 11 , and i liked it eversince. But this year MU20 was a bit disappointing.
u gotta read and listen the answers andrea has made in the media, u will see why she was crowned miss universe
@@cristobalsalcedomariscal8209 well i am not referring to the winner though. I watched the whole show, prelim vids to the finals and it is lacking the essence of the pageant i am used to see
Philippines 🇵🇭 fights till the end bravo Philippines 🇵🇭 were so proud of you
I love the reaction of Miss Botswana
Yeah I agree Botswana nailed it
She is the best for me Botswana
They should just have two rounds of finalists in the next pageant. Twelve and Two finalists, then the announcement of winners. 🙋🏻♂️❤️
Both right ! But botswana answer is straight to the point ! Congrats to her but of course I was rooting for Miriam ❤️
Judges confuse of them,
Because they are all preety and good,
Damn.. Miriam was so close to taking it all! The nerves got the better of her..
Go, Philippines. We heart Miriam Quiambao.
Botswana stole the show and ran away with the crown with her brilliant answer....Miss Spain gave an incomplete answer and Philippines was nervous and choked big time.
They all look simple women but have strong personality and leadership
