Oprah Comment about Miss Universe Result.
“‘I have reservations with the results. If the only basis is the Q and A portion, after having been trimmed down to 5, Ms. Philippines deserved to win. What made her different from the rest is that she had no seconds to rethink of her answer as she had no interpreter to break the ice. The rest had their interpreters and having breaks on seconds to think about their answers. Hands down, Ms. Philippines answered straight to the point.” - via NBC News

Senator Miriam wants to contest Shamcey Supsup's 4th place finish
Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago on Tuesday said she is prepared to contest the 4th place finish of Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup in the recently-concluded Miss Universe 2011 pageant in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
"I'm going to file a protest if possible... if there's a legal remedy I don't think that it might be taken as lacking in sportsmanship," Santiago told reporters in an interview on Tuesday.
Supsup was the third runner-up in the pageant while Leila Lopes of Angola was crowned the 60th Miss Universe on Tuesday.
Santiago, however, said she thought the contest would be between Miss Ukraine and Miss Philippines.
"As it turns out neither one made the top two positons which shows that I'm better as a senator than as a beauty consultant I imagine... but I thought that she did very well," she said.
Not sour-graping
Santiago said her comment about Supsup's fourth place finish may sound like she is sour-graping or saying negative things about something one cannot have.
However, Santiago insists that she is not sour-graping because she thinks the decision "may have been partly political."
She said the judges might have wanted "somebody from Portugal or thereabouts in that region" to win because Asians have supposedly been winining beauty contests for a while.
"Sometimes you can't discount these possibilities. They all deserve to win, except that I'm very disappointed because I thought that our contestant was an ideal candidate that represented the best of the Filipina," she said.
