Responses of the Miss Universe Top 6 during the Q&A


It's the most nerve-wracking portion of pageants—for the candidates and the fans alike. Wild cheers usually meet great answers, but flubs? That makes everyone go for ice cream (or beer, whichever tickles your fancy).

At the 65th Miss Universe pageant, the audience was treated to six unique responses from six unique ladies.

Here's how the Question and Answer portion of the 65th Miss Universe pageant went down:

What is the most significant change you've seen in the last 10 years?

Miss Philippines Maxine Medina's full answer: "In the last 10 years of being here in the world, is that I saw all the people bringing in one event like this, Miss Universe. And it's something big to us that we are one, as one nation we are all together."

 

 

What are you most excited about and what concerns you when it comes to the presidency of Donald Trump?

Miss Kenya Mary Esther Were's full answer: Donald Trump having been elected as the president of the United States may not have been the choice of many people living in the United States, because of the divided support system for the outgoing Barack Obama supporting an upcoming woman president, who was supposed to be a woman president, Hillary Clinton. So many people opposed his position but I feel like once he took his position, he was able to unify the entire nation. Thank you very much.

 

 

Name a current or past world leader that you admire and why.

Miss Thailand Chalita Suansane's full answer: For me that would be the King of Thailand. His Majesty has been working tirelessly on behalf of the Thai people ever since I was born. For the all the Thai people, His Majesty has been like a father to us. Thank you very much.

Given today's worldwide refugee crisis, do countries have an obligation to accept refugees or do they have the right to close their borders?

Miss France Iris Mittenaere's full answer: So the country should have the right to open or close their borders. Throughout the world, people can choose to have their borders open or closed. In Europe we have open borders. In France we have the most globalization that we can, we want to have the biggest exchange of people that we can. Maybe someday that will change, but now we have open borders. Having open borders allows us to travel more to the world and to find out more about what's out there in the world.

 

 

On January 21st an estimated 4.8 million people marched worldwide for human rights, women's rights, and other issues. If you had been able to participate, what would you have been marching for?

Miss Haiti Raquel Pelissier's full answer: Hello everybody, one of the women I admire in the world is Eleanor Roosevelt, because she fought so much for human rights and I feel like that's what we need in the world. Just one, a hundred thousand years ago, six species of human lived in the world. Now we are just one and we all need each other and we need to respect each other.

 

 

Why do you believe that violence is so prevalent in today's society and what can we do about it?

Miss Colombia Andrea Tovar's full answer: Good evening. Well I come from a country that does have violence so this is my reference post. And although there are presidents who don't get along with each other, we work together to be able to unite. Campaigns, respect, and inclusivity to be able to have a social transformation that will educate our children.
