This time around I filmed the Miss Universe pageant video live with no spoilers from social media! Instagram www.instagram.... Email: sovereignsrealm@gmail.com
I couldn’t stop smiling when she said Miss South Africa and Miss Venezuela need Jesus to beat Miss Philippines😁 thanks so much for your genuine reaction. Love lots from the Philippines 💕
@@loisemir29 in what way it is blasphemous? davonna is just saying that south africa and venezuela need a miracle to beat philippines. your spirituality is just too shallow!
Filipinos were also "partially" rooting for Vietnam. I mean Catriona would've still won, but at least she'll have some competition that didn't need Jesus. So, yeah. Vietnam was a crowd favorite among Filipinos as well.
Thats so true... Same what happened in 2016, Yes it was held here, and everyone is behind Maxine, but Filipino pageant fans were so in love with Ms. Thailand, Chalita Suansane. Filipinos love "Cinderella" stories and always root for those who have struggled and have overcome their poverty.
I watched live at Impact Arena, Bangkok. • When USA was called, she was booed .. audience hated her... audience around me were screaming “ booe-ly.. ( bully) • South Africa’s gown was punctured and as she walked it caught on her heels, she tried to kicked it as she walked. • In live -audience, the Philippines was consistently crowds fave.
@JeJeMoN ME They mocked her because of her bullying scandal, where a video was leaked in which she was mocking Miss Vietnam's accents and language proficiency
Beauty Holic : No one said anything about Australia and Colombia but when it comes to USA this is so wrong, everybody’s gonna die. We can’t forget what she did, once the deed is done this is too late but no one’s perfect and if it wasn’t recorded, anyone would have knew about that.
I’m a Grade 11 student, and during the live telecast of the Ms. Universe, our whole school actually watched it. We were in the canteen when the Top 3 was announced. I agree with your statement that only Ms. Vietnam has a chance to beat Ms. Philippines. When the Top 3 was announced and Ms. Vietnam wasn’t called, we already knew that Ms. Philippines won. Her answer in the finals solidify her spot as Ms. Universe.
Only Vietnam had a chance to beat Philippines IF ONLY she is a good speaker. But no. Even if she was called in the top 3, she would not have that chance to beat Catriona who is such a smart girl.
Understand I will always do my best to be fair and unbiased. Regardless of a contestants representative country or fan base I will judge and critique EVERYONE. Just because everyone wanted to jump on the Philippines band wagon I’ve never been a follower and I wanted all the girls to have a even starting point in my mind, You will find no favoritism here. I probably critiqued Vietnam the most and I love her. However I was never delusional in that I knew Philippines was definitely going to put up a fight going in and if you thought I was not a fan of Catriona you definitely didn’t watch the previous video or finish this one. I’m happy some of the women were able to put up a fight for Catriona though clearly it wasn’t enough lol it made for a good show.
Sis, you don't need to explain yourself. This is your channel. You are entitled to your own opinion. Just let them ultra-nationalistic fans be. They don't deserve your precious time. You were honest, fair, and unbiased throughout the video. And I appreciate that. Keep being that strong, opinionated, and gorgeous black queen that you are. Much love from PH.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 you needn’t explain...we’re all entitled to our own opinion...we should respect each other and avoid being rude...your analysis is fair and respectful...I don’t see why people should get offended, just because your opinion differ from theirs...✌🏼❤️🍫.....peace, love, and chocolates!!!
Davonna Finley I'm from Philippines and I apologize if there are some Filipinos who are being rude. I love how passionate you are about Miss Universe and I absolutely enjoyed your reaction! 😊
I know you’re not a fan of Philippines but the reason why her fans have such an emotional attachment is because they witnessed her get robbed in the Miss World 2016 pageant. She was a clear winner just as you said here but she wasn’t crowned. I’m just glad the universe had bigger plans for her.
Lineishka Pérez lol did u see puerto rico’s expression when she was announced??? She was so shocked. . She didnt expect that coz obviously Philippines and Kenya gave the best answer. Anyway its good that Catriona wasn’t crowned coz she is destined to be Ms Universe. Also during Miss World Catriona received most of the awards so thats that.
@Lineishka Perez. I feel you...but unfortunately, the world doesn't have the same sentiment...it was witnessed around the world! No sense of using bad language!
Word is, Vietnam's translator hadn't translated her answer properly. Apparently words have been omitted and sentences were cut short, if this is true, and had the translator done it properly, I feel that Vietnam would have been in the top 3. She was this year's dark horse in the competition, she and Philippines would have been duelling for the crown had that been the case. I wouldn't have any qualms if she did win this year instead of Catriona, but Philippines was just on point every single microsecond. Congratulations to all the delegates for a job well done, and of course Congratulations to the reigning Queen of the Universe.
The last Q and A would have been appropriate for Vietnam. It would have been a battle between working at the poorest area (Miss Philippines) and being a poor (Miss Vietnam).
Gerry de la Cruz the question is not about being poor. The question is what did you learn in your lifetime? And how can you apply this on your time as Miss Universe? Catriona Gray’s platform has always been about children. When Miss Vietnam introduce herself, she talk about coming from ethnic minority and getting married at a young age. I don’t think she will beat Catriona’s answer as it was on point.
I love PH but I prefer her walk in the preliminary swimsuit. She's more fierce and energetic in the prelims compared to her walk in the finals. Maybe because of the cape as a prop which is annoying.
I blame that cape or whatever it is tbh. It was bothering her. She did great in the finals but we simply could not forget about the prelims. It was just SLAYYYY at its finest.
On 2015, Pia Wurtzbach was a surprise win but this year, we all knew that Catriona is a sure win. She came prepared having 10 months of preparation under her belt. She was on hands in everything and even picked her own team to tranform all her visions into reality to represent our country. She’s really by far the best representative we ever had in Miss Universe. Thank you for your reaction! Love from the Philippines!
"The Philippines, the unstoppable force is back!" Really enjoyed this reaction video of yours! Thank you so much :) I loved Belgium's and Vietnam's hair. I found South Africa really beautiful too and absolutely a worthy opponent to Catriona, but Catriona just killed the Q&A portion and she really stood out with her volcano-inspired red dress in honor of the Mayon Volcano in her hometown Albay, Philippines :) Even her slow-mo turn is lava-inspired :) Looking forward to your next Miss Universe reaction video.
just finished the whole video! thank you for the kind words for the philippines and our new miss U. i have been a fan of miss U since i was in gradeschool and i am now in my 50s. i have never seen a ms. philippines who is so nationalistic than catriona (considering she is half filipino, half australian). she brought to the pageant our history and heritage. all the dresses she wore to miss U were beautiful textiles from our country. even in her clutch bag was accessorized with our national flower, sampaguita. the earring cuff she used on the finals was the 3 stars and the sun rays in our flag, her hand movements during the national costume represented the 3 groups of islands of the country, luzon, visayas, mindanao, even her entire costume represented that (the big lantern (made from the lantern capital of the phils, pampanga which is in luzon, her body suit with tattooes of the "pintados"from the warriors of visayas, and the beautiful headdress of t'boli women in mindanao). the gown at the preliminaries was inspired from a bird called ädarna in a filipino folklore, and lastly the red gown at the finals is inspired from an erupting volcano, mt. mayon (in albay, bicol province where she is from) with lava flowing down from the crater, and thus the red, orange and yellow colors in her gown, made by a filipino designer, mak tumang. and all the pageant analysts and commentators here in my country were saying that she is the MOST PREPARED candidate we ever sent to miss u. and all her efforts (and her team as well) and sacrifices paid off. she competed in miss world few years ago but she only bagged 1st runner up. needless to say, she is not meant for the world, but for the universe ! mabuhay ang PILIPINAS! mabuhay Miss Universe 2018! mabuhay CATRIONA GRAY!
Correction Mom/Sir, Catriona is half Filipina, & half Scottish, she was only born in Australia, w/out any blood on it, I really hope, that I made myself clear, thank you so much.
What a rude comment the guy made @32:21 "It's definitely not about looks if you're into that sort of thing". Uncalled for. Catriona is stunningly beautiful, as are South Africa and Venezuela.
@@spyware3113 Miss Vietnam thanks Filipino who trained her 4 SHARES 0 1 0 Jan Milo Severo (philstar.com) - December 20, 2018 - 3:59pm MANILA, Philippines - Miss Vietnam H’Hen Niê expressed gratitude to her Filipino trainer after finishing in the Top 5 of the prestigious competition. On her Instagram account, H’hen thanked her staff in the pageant, especially her trainer Anjo Santos who she described as her teacher. “From the bottom of my heart, Thank you very much, My Teacher Anjo Santos,” she wrote Read more at www.philstar.com/entertainment/2018/12/20/1878601/miss-vietnam-thanks-filipino-who-trained-her#TVF0KGUHTyS67Iwq.99
@Arlene de Castro: Errhh, please do some research before you post it you totally wrong miss Vietnam got her catwalk ‘cause she is fashion model runways in her real life for past few years... she also happened to be miss Vietnam 2017.
If not for Catriona representing Philippines, I would've rooted for Miss Vietnam. Miss Vietnam missed out on certain opportunities, like during the free speech, you know, where she could have used an interpreter like what Miss Belgium did. That would have changed the game and leveled up the game for her. I mean, you have an interpreter - use'em! I was really hoping for her to win but you know, I can't betray my country 😂 PH.
siriusblack06 I think she was smart to answer in English sort of to throw it back at Sarah for making fun of her, she answered fearlessly in English even though it wasn’t perfect. Translator ended up fcking her over in the end anyway
That "need Jesus" was definitely epic. It totally blew me away 🤣 We need this kind of commentators in Miss Universe backstage. Very honest, unbiased and yet so entertaining!!! 😍
Miss Philippines was pretty much a shoe in. She deserved it. I agree Vietnam was one of my faves. She’s so humble and loved her reactions when she was called. I wish she was 1st runner up.
Miss Thailand's gown is a breath of fresh air from similar-looking ones in the past recent years. I liked it on her as it featured her best assets which were her jawline, neck and shoulder. good job!
Everything is Filipino. You dad and mom are Filipinos. Your titos and titas are Filipinos. Goodness! Everyone is Filipino. Cut the crap. What's the relevance? Do we crave for validation that much?
The final question is a 2-part question (about the lesson and it's application durin the reign). Only Cat answered both question. The other 2 only answered the first one. Kudos to Cat for being so attentive to the question. Btw. I love your reaction. :))
To answer your question about translators, I think in most Asian countries they take pride is being able to deliver what they’re saying in English because it shows intelligence and bravery. It’s the same way we look at the situation in the Philippines. But in this case she really should’ve gotten a translator.
Thanks for seeing the capabilities and strengths Catriona Gray, from my country, the Philippines, holds. While all were stunning and beautiful in their own ways, "Cat" - clearly - held the most concise answer, in the second Q & A segment. For her part, Ms. Vietnam would have been great at Top Three. Better, I hoped she would've been First Runner up, for us Filipinos - imagine that: both Winner and First Runner up as Asians - Southeast Asians, to be precise (sigh.). I, too, wondered, why she didn't use a translator for her speech. But then I guess she wanted to show her boldness to the World - the Universe, rather - that she could attempt to convey her message in English. For me, though it was in broken English, I totally got her message she was trying to convey. Ms. H'Hen Nie is truly an inspiration to her country, coming from such humble beginnings, and giving to others. Congrats to her for making Top Five out of the 90. She has done Vietnam proud. But, "..... they need Jesus ...." - now THAT was the Ultimate Line of this video.
Since you said you deleted your social media apps, I don't know if you are aware of the small scandal Miss USA (she was w Ms Colombia and Australia) made on her IG acct making comments about certain countries like Vietnam and Cambodia. Maybe that is why Ms Vietnam spoke in English in her short speech?
I like her genuine reactions. She is not pandering to us Filipino fans. She has her own biases and she voices out her opinions accordingly. But damn, you are so funny! "They need Jesus." almost spat my tea.
Very true. Honestly, I feel like Catriona and Tamaryn were the front runners. They were both queen material going into the pageant. Catriona was obviously most popular but Tamaryn had the goods as well. Unlike the other contestants who had to prove they can win. It honestly boiled down to who would foil between Tamaryn and Catriona. Tamaryn killed swimsuit. Catriona slayed evening gown. Tamaryn’s final answer wasn’t as strong as Catriona’s. And that was the key moment for me. However, Catriona is amazing. No doubt. She is one of my favourites.
@@EmkaySA13 best batch(all girls are very civilized and genuine friends to each other), best year, best country host, and most of all the best Miss U winner of all time! My mom said that 2018 is a very lucky set of numbers. I guess that year all the stars in the universe aligned. I can never get tired watching this glory year of Miss U.
i agree with you on vietnam could total rock color dress. she has other amazing dresses i saw for missuniverse vietnam instagram. i dont understand why her stylist made the decision on the silver dress which is very typical on most girls. I also agree with u the only women out there has a chance to beat philippine is vietnam because of her amazing inspired up bringing story. i also heard her answer wasnt fully elaborated by the interpreter and perhaps what cost her a spot of top 3. Perhaps she could gave such a compelling answer because of her story and has a chance to beat Philippine. Vietnam still make history to make it in top 5 for the first time. I was rooting for her and perhaps it would be something so untypical beauty pageant if she could have won, But yah, philippine deserved it, she is the front runner since the beginning.
"South Africa and Venezuela needs Jesus" 😂😂😂 I love you and thank you for your fair reaction video. Ps. I really imagined Vietnam and Philippines will be holding hands in the end waiting to be crowned as Ms. Universe.
Hi Davonna, I liked this video. I'm watching these kinds of videos simply for the reaction on the reveal of Cat's dress, though yours hooked me through the entire video. And girl I could totally relate with your reactions. Looking back to my tweet commentary during telecast, she did underperform (compared to prelims) during the swimsuit. I felt that the fabric (idk what it's called) weighed Catriona down or did not help highlight her walk. But that dress was the game changer. For Miss Vietnam, I was upset that she did not wear her yellow dress. I liked her so much and I was rooting for her to and Catriona to win. Plus the interpreter totally killed her chances for good T_T
😂😂😂 can't move on about "baby jesus" and the reaction when Steve called Miss Venezuela 😂😂 I love Miss. Vietnam too.She's my 1st runner up 😍😍😍 And Congratulation to MISS. CATRIONA GRAY.You deserved the crown 😘😘❤❤ 💥💥
Miss Philippines, Catriona Gray, she did her own makeup in the Prelims and in the real thing. Nobody helped her her, though she was trained. She's really great. We Filipinos love her, and I was just laughing out loud when you said something about Philippines not winning in the swim suit competition 😂 But nah, we're chill.
All girls are beautiful but Ms Catriona was the most prepared for this contest. She planned everything- from toning her body, incorporating Filipino culture and crafts in all of her outfits, to her video presentation, current events, possible Q&A to mindset of not possible but sure winner. The entire pageant-crazy country would expect nothing less from the next Ms Philippines (2019). Very good impartial assessment. Salamat! I also love Vietnam. I think Ms Philippines, Ms S Africa and Ms Vietnam should be the top 3, if only the interpreter did her best for Ms Vietnam.
I'm Filipino but Vietnam was amazing to the point where i didn't want her in the top five but deep inside i did. Also because she will be a huge hindrance for our country to win. I feel so twofaced but i know she is the best Vietnam has ever had.
At first, I thought I heard that, too. But then I played it again. And this is what he, actually, said, "..... it's not ALL about looks." So, that has a way different meaning which is not offensive, but quite positive.
miss philippines knows how to play..her answer in top 5 is shirt but precise and on point. our girl know how to play no wonder her top 3 answer did a great job..and we know gurl miss philippines is not your bet..well thats fine..she really deserved it and she earn it..
Every People they have own Favorite Contestant and i now this Girl she Like Vietnam and Canada and i Like her reaction and one of the trainor of Miss Vietnam is from philippines same region of MS Philippines catriona gray (Bicol region) and Why MS Vietnam allowed to answer the english question and also the other Contestant? Most of contestant we need translator in every question and answer and i think ms Vietnam she have good answer in Last top 5 finalist but her translator is not enough good deliver in english answer.. Im from Philippines and i Like Vietnam too.. Congrats MS Vietnam (top5)
South Africa was leading all the way till the Evening dress vibe happened...and then Philippines came out with that gorgeous red dress...I knew that she is now leading and South Africa is playing catch up. No wonder at the end it was just the two of them.
I’ve been following a lot of pageant vloggers and I’ve watched all of their 2018 recap videos. Yours for me was the best!! Enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you 🙏
This time, Steve Harvey did not make a mistake. Great job Steve and all Filipino loves you. Congratulation, miss Queen of Universe Catriona Gray, you absolutely deserved the CROWN. You nailed it and you are AMAZING KILLER to achieve the TITLE from day one to the FINAL CROWN.
Fun fact: Catriona said that she didn't have the chance to rehearse while wearing the cape so its her first time wearing that during swimsuit competition... and venezuela took too much air time so philippines had too slow down so that she will be caught by the camera
Miss Vietnam is trained by where Catriona's Mother is from. Bicolalandia. Miss Vietnam should of been second place but her interpreter messed up. Her gown is design after filipino mythical creature "Adarna"; And it's color derives from the volcano lava colors. 🎁😘🤗 And her swimsuit walk is called"lava walk" it's all in their story as a constestants.
Miss Vietnam said it bcoz she is a village girl.... who works as a maid to finish her studies.... that is why she said that.... if i can do it, you can do it!
Miss Vietnam really worked hard knowing that bullying thing that happened. I still don't like Miss USA just because she can speak English very well she does not need to be condescending.
I'm Filipino, but I actually agree with her assessment. Catriona wasn't the best in swimsuit (she was way way stronger in the preliminaries). I think the cape watered down her walk and her turns. But she recovered in gown. Stumbled a bit in top 5 q&a. But then absolutely nailed the final question. Well deserved win.
You're fun to watch - the guy chiming in in the background now and then sounds interesting . . . hmmmm. Miss Curacao is the most classy in every way. Miss Canada's gown was designed by a Filipino designer.
I couldn’t stop smiling when she said Miss South Africa and Miss Venezuela need Jesus to beat Miss Philippines😁 thanks so much for your genuine reaction. Love lots from the Philippines 💕

Me too. What a super competitive batch.
they were just competing to be catrionas 1st runner up
Yes true, all of the candidates were drastically good. Like everyone can be the winner, the top 3 was really strong. Best Miss Universe edition!
Unbelievable how Catriona still managed to top them all.
True. And this also the year that has unique delegates. Trans in spain and the longest hair to.beat Venezuela
Ms Canada's fabulous gown was designed by Michael Cinco a Filipino designer based in Dubai

Catriona's last pose was basically Catriona, that's her signature pose so we wouldn't want that to be changed even a little, thank u
What a rude comment the guy made @32:21 "It's definitely not about looks if you're into that sort of thing". Uncalled for. Catriona is stunningly beautiful, as are South Africa and Venezuela.
"South Africa and Venezuela need Jesus right now" 😂
Hahhahahahhaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thailand is hungry? She's competing? She didn't eat? Hahahhaha😂😂
Paolo Don 😂😂
Lol😂
😂😂😂
Diet is so strict
Hahaha
The trainer of Miss Vietnam happens to be a Filipino too. He trained her not only how to walk but boost her confidence too.
Arlene de Castro Really? Cool!

YES, I KNOW IT, THANK U PHILIPPIN. VIET NAM LOVE U. MISS PHILIPPIN ,SHE DESERT, SO SMART AND BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE HER SO MUCH
Pakubaba po
@Arlene de Castro: Errhh, please do some research before you post it you totally wrong miss Vietnam got her catwalk ‘cause she is fashion model runways in her real life for past few years... she also happened to be miss Vietnam 2017.
Philippines doesn;t just come to participate ,,,they come so prepared to win !
If not for Catriona representing Philippines, I would've rooted for Miss Vietnam. Miss Vietnam missed out on certain opportunities, like during the free speech, you know, where she could have used an interpreter like what Miss Belgium did. That would have changed the game and leveled up the game for her. I mean, you have an interpreter - use'em! I was really hoping for her to win but you know, I can't betray my country 😂 PH.
Ee wag gagaya kay Reign at Ali HAHAHA charr gusto ko din si Miss Vietnam skl naman
Every country should have its own translator in the Miss U competition. MUO should have a clear policy on this.
@@k4lipogi she did use an interpreter...but unfortunately..she botched her answer..
siriusblack06 I think she was smart to answer in English sort of to throw it back at Sarah for making fun of her, she answered fearlessly in English even though it wasn’t perfect. Translator ended up fcking her over in the end anyway
@@Jprager it's all over now. So, we gotta move on. Vietnam can now take care of that missed opportunity this year.
That "need Jesus" was definitely epic. It totally blew me away 🤣 We need this kind of commentators in Miss Universe backstage. Very honest, unbiased and yet so entertaining!!! 😍
Miss Philippines was pretty much a shoe in. She deserved it. I agree Vietnam was one of my faves. She’s so humble and loved her reactions when she was called. I wish she was 1st runner up.
Also, thanks for being fair. A lot of the reviews and recaps I've watched go hard on Catriona.
really? a lot? p[ease send me the links. i want to watch them.
Hard on Catriona? Come on! I stopped watching reviews and reactions cause everyone is rooting for her, it gets boring.
Thailands evening gown is designed by the same designer with the past Miss Thailand. Canada’s gown is made by a Filipino designer - Michael Cinco.
And miss vietnamn was trained by a Filipino
Miss Thailand's gown is a breath of fresh air from similar-looking ones in the past recent years. I liked it on her as it featured her best assets which were her jawline, neck and shoulder. good job!
Miss Thailand's gown is designed by the Princess of Thailand.
Everything is Filipino. You dad and mom are Filipinos. Your titos and titas are Filipinos. Goodness! Everyone is Filipino. Cut the crap. What's the relevance? Do we crave for validation that much?
@@karldelacruz what's your problem?😏
u should be on d panel of judges
for d 2019 MU
Yeah me too, I’m sad for Vietnam didn’t make it to top 3, I’m really rooting Vietnam next to Philippines 🇵🇭
30:56 HAAHAAHHAAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHA
Nice Reaction detailed by detailed thank you, from Philippines
Canada's gown is made by michael cinco, a Filipino.
Thailand: I'm hungry
DAVONNA: She's hungry... you knew u were competing, u ddn't eat??
She knew she was competing THATS WHY SHE DID NOT EAT LOL
Exactly
Catriona was the best
The final question is a 2-part question (about the lesson and it's application durin the reign). Only Cat answered both question. The other 2 only answered the first one. Kudos to Cat for being so attentive to the question.
Btw. I love your reaction. :))
Hope that you'll support our next representative...Gazini Ganados….Mabuhay Pilipinas!!!
Jamaica is one of the youngest candidates, I feel like she just needed more training
I like how detailed and keen when you're reacting. Such genuine reaction is truly moving. Great job. Thanks for this.
Venezuela was best in swimsuit
Philippines was best in evening gown
I'm laughing my head off when I heard you say they need Jesus! 🤣🤣 So hilarious! That's a good one!😉
To answer your question about translators, I think in most Asian countries they take pride is being able to deliver what they’re saying in English because it shows intelligence and bravery. It’s the same way we look at the situation in the Philippines. But in this case she really should’ve gotten a translator.
Thanks for seeing the capabilities and strengths Catriona Gray, from my country, the Philippines, holds. While all were stunning and beautiful in their own ways, "Cat" - clearly - held the most concise answer, in the second Q & A segment. For her part, Ms. Vietnam would have been great at Top Three. Better, I hoped she would've been First Runner up, for us Filipinos - imagine that: both Winner and First Runner up as Asians - Southeast Asians, to be precise (sigh.). I, too, wondered, why she didn't use a translator for her speech. But then I guess she wanted to show her boldness to the World - the Universe, rather - that she could attempt to convey her message in English. For me, though it was in broken English, I totally got her message she was trying to convey. Ms. H'Hen Nie is truly an inspiration to her country, coming from such humble beginnings, and giving to others. Congrats to her for making Top Five out of the 90. She has done Vietnam proud. But, "..... they need Jesus ...." - now THAT was the Ultimate Line of this video.
In 1988, the winner was Asian and the Ist RU was Asian too.(🇹🇭 and 🇰🇷)
I'll never get tired of watching this video!
Catriona is still my best Miss Universe ❤
PHILIPPINES THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
Crap, you don't know how your "they need je-zuz" started my day, i already repeated it 10 times and i can't help but burst into laughter.
Since you said you deleted your social media apps, I don't know if you are aware of the small scandal Miss USA (she was w Ms Colombia and Australia) made on her IG acct making comments about certain countries like Vietnam and Cambodia. Maybe that is why Ms Vietnam spoke in English in her short speech?
She knows about it
What I like about Ms. Philippines'evening gown is that it's inspired by Mayon Volcano, which is a really famous volcano in the Philippines.
“she knows that she’s competing but she didn’t eat?” HAHAHAHA. Hilarious! 😂
I like her genuine reactions. She is not pandering to us Filipino fans. She has her own biases and she voices out her opinions accordingly.
But damn, you are so funny! "They need Jesus." almost spat my tea.
Very true. Honestly, I feel like Catriona and Tamaryn were the front runners. They were both queen material going into the pageant. Catriona was obviously most popular but Tamaryn had the goods as well. Unlike the other contestants who had to prove they can win.
It honestly boiled down to who would foil between Tamaryn and Catriona.
Tamaryn killed swimsuit. Catriona slayed evening gown.
Tamaryn’s final answer wasn’t as strong as Catriona’s. And that was the key moment for me.
However, Catriona is amazing. No doubt. She is one of my favourites.
@@EmkaySA13 can't agree more👍
@@EmkaySA13 best batch(all girls are very civilized and genuine friends to each other), best year, best country host, and most of all the best Miss U winner of all time! My mom said that 2018 is a very lucky set of numbers. I guess that year all the stars in the universe aligned. I can never get tired watching this glory year of Miss U.
2019 and im still watching
i agree with you on vietnam could total rock color dress. she has other amazing dresses i saw for missuniverse vietnam instagram. i dont understand why her stylist made the decision on the silver dress which is very typical on most girls. I also agree with u the only women out there has a chance to beat philippine is vietnam because of her amazing inspired up bringing story. i also heard her answer wasnt fully elaborated by the interpreter and perhaps what cost her a spot of top 3. Perhaps she could gave such a compelling answer because of her story and has a chance to beat Philippine. Vietnam still make history to make it in top 5 for the first time. I was rooting for her and perhaps it would be something so untypical beauty pageant if she could have won, But yah, philippine deserved it, she is the front runner since the beginning.
For the top 10 swimsuit, vietnam and south africa killed it. top 2. for evening gown, philippine and canada on the top
S H Q L yeah I agree, during the swimsuit Venezuela took her time so Catriona had to walk very slowly and pose in the middle for a while.
@@lonelyriver02 yeah I thought she did it intentionally to reduce Philippines' airtime..
Yeah she should have worn that yellow dress.
You mean Vietnam was leaning on a Sob story sympathy vote in her favor?
"South Africa and Venezuela needs Jesus" 😂😂😂
I love you and thank you for your fair reaction video.
Ps. I really imagined Vietnam and Philippines will be holding hands in the end waiting to be crowned as Ms. Universe.
Hi Davonna, I liked this video. I'm watching these kinds of videos simply for the reaction on the reveal of Cat's dress, though yours hooked me through the entire video. And girl I could totally relate with your reactions. Looking back to my tweet commentary during telecast, she did underperform (compared to prelims) during the swimsuit. I felt that the fabric (idk what it's called) weighed Catriona down or did not help highlight her walk. But that dress was the game changer.
For Miss Vietnam, I was upset that she did not wear her yellow dress. I liked her so much and I was rooting for her to and Catriona to win. Plus the interpreter totally killed her chances for good T_T
Hear hear. Vietnam should've worn that yellow dress.
I'm a Filipino but I rooted for Ms. Vietnam too. Next to Ms. Philippines of course. Catriona Gray all the way!
Miss USA: I'm very very grateful!
Davonna: Oh! I know you're grateful! 🙄
Excluding Philippines, my mom kept shouting to call Vietnam everytime! And she's was lovin' it 😂😂✊✊✊
Now i know where i'm heading next.. PHILIPPINES!!.
😂😂😂 can't move on about "baby jesus" and the reaction when Steve called Miss Venezuela 😂😂
I love Miss. Vietnam too.She's my 1st runner up 😍😍😍 And Congratulation to MISS. CATRIONA GRAY.You deserved the crown 😘😘❤❤ 💥💥
Soon it'll be auctioned and a lot would buy that coat
Miss Philippines, Catriona Gray, she did her own makeup in the Prelims and in the real thing. Nobody helped her her, though she was trained. She's really great. We Filipinos love her, and I was just laughing out loud when you said something about Philippines not winning in the swim suit competition 😂 But nah, we're chill.
All girls are beautiful but Ms Catriona was the most prepared for this contest. She planned everything- from toning her body, incorporating Filipino culture and crafts in all of her outfits, to her video presentation, current events, possible Q&A to mindset of not possible but sure winner. The entire pageant-crazy country would expect nothing less from the next Ms Philippines (2019). Very good impartial assessment. Salamat! I also love Vietnam. I think Ms Philippines, Ms S Africa and Ms Vietnam should be the top 3, if only the interpreter did her best for Ms Vietnam.
I'm Filipino but Vietnam was amazing to the point where i didn't want her in the top five but deep inside i did. Also because she will be a huge hindrance for our country to win. I feel so twofaced but i know she is the best Vietnam has ever had.
was watching your reaction videos and you've improved as a youtuber, will look forward for your videos next year
what the guy in the background said when Catriona was crowned.-“well definitely it’s not about the looks”.... offensive
That guy in the background is a Closet gay. When he said that "She's originally forecasted to win" means he's secretly following Miss Universe.
At first, I thought I heard that, too. But then I played it again. And this is what he, actually, said, "..... it's not ALL about looks." So, that has a way different meaning which is not offensive, but quite positive.
You misunderstood himr hes saying it's not all about looks because catriona is smart talker
"She didn't eat" "shes competing she didn't eat?" Hahahah i died.
miss philippines knows how to play..her answer in top 5 is shirt but precise and on point. our girl know how to play no wonder her top 3 answer did a great job..and we know gurl miss philippines is not your bet..well thats fine..she really deserved it and she earn it..
Vietnam deserves top 3
Every People they have own Favorite Contestant and i now this Girl she Like Vietnam and Canada and i Like her reaction and one of the trainor of Miss Vietnam is from philippines same region of MS Philippines catriona gray (Bicol region) and Why MS Vietnam allowed to answer the english question and also the other Contestant? Most of contestant we need translator in every question and answer and i think ms Vietnam she have good answer in Last top 5 finalist but her translator is not enough good deliver in english answer.. Im from Philippines and i Like Vietnam too.. Congrats MS Vietnam (top5)
I noticed many filipino designers were hired for many contestants here..
South Africa was leading all the way till the Evening dress vibe happened...and then Philippines came out with that gorgeous red dress...I knew that she is now leading and South Africa is playing catch up. No wonder at the end it was just the two of them.
I’ve been following a lot of pageant vloggers and I’ve watched all of their 2018 recap videos. Yours for me was the best!! Enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you 🙏
I think 1 year in 67 years where you don't have men in the judging panel is forgivable.
Its so funny when you said South Africa or Venezuela needed Jesus to win... 🤣😁🤭😜
Miss canadas gown was michael cinco's creation .. a filipino designer actually
Why did you cut your reaction to Indonesia entering the top 20? Not important enough to make it to the video? Just curious
This time, Steve Harvey did not make a mistake. Great job Steve and all Filipino loves you. Congratulation, miss Queen of Universe Catriona Gray, you absolutely deserved the CROWN. You nailed it and you are AMAZING KILLER to achieve the TITLE from day one to the FINAL CROWN.
"They need Jesus" 😂
Ohhhh. I love your reaction ma'am, even i, I love so much also Vietnam. I'm from Philippines. Thanks for supporting us 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I totally agree why would they excluded the men from being judges ?
9/19 for sovereign!
South Africa, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Great Britain, Canada, Puerto Rico, USA, Venezuela
Its 2021!!! and still watching this over and over😁
Fair reaction i love it...❤❤❤
Fun fact: Catriona said that she didn't have the chance to rehearse while wearing the cape so its her first time wearing that during swimsuit competition... and venezuela took too much air time so philippines had too slow down so that she will be caught by the camera
Miss Vietnam is trained by where Catriona's Mother is from. Bicolalandia. Miss Vietnam should of been second place but her interpreter messed up.
Her gown is design after filipino mythical creature "Adarna"; And it's color derives from the volcano lava colors. 🎁😘🤗
And her swimsuit walk is called"lava walk" it's all in their story as a constestants.
"Venezuela and South Africa need Jesus!" HAHAHAHA
I like your insights. hope you can do it again next year.
R2CA I definitely plan to 😄
Miss Vietnam said it bcoz she is a village girl.... who works as a maid to finish her studies.... that is why she said that.... if i can do it, you can do it!
April 4, 2023 (PHL time). Watching this most viewed video of Divonna, I subscribed because of this! ❤
PHILIPPINES is PHILIPPINES😊😊😊🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
How come this year doesn’t have 3rd and 4th runner up just like on the previous years? Miss Universe Vietnam deserve an award!!!!
catriona's gown was inspired from the volcanoes of the phil. a.k.a the "Lava Gown"
Miss Vietnam really worked hard knowing that bullying thing that happened. I still don't like Miss USA just because she can speak English very well she does not need to be condescending.
I'm Filipino, but I actually agree with her assessment. Catriona wasn't the best in swimsuit (she was way way stronger in the preliminaries). I think the cape watered down her walk and her turns.
But she recovered in gown. Stumbled a bit in top 5 q&a. But then absolutely nailed the final question. Well deserved win.
Rooting for Philippines, but I really really think Vietnam should have been in top 3. If Philippines had lost to Vietnam, I would have no complaints.
You're fun to watch - the guy chiming in in the background now and then sounds interesting . . . hmmmm. Miss Curacao is the most classy in every way. Miss Canada's gown was designed by a Filipino designer.
