Last night, Miss Mexico, Jimene Navarrete, was crowned 2010 Miss Universe. One of the favorites coming into the pageant, however, barely pulled off a 5th place finish. Venus Raj, Miss Philippines, a beautiful 22 year old woman who came into the pageant expecting to do extremely well, fumbled an important question which clearly led to her demise.

The question was, “What was the one big mistake that you did in your life? And what did you do to make it right?” The answer that Raj gave is as follows, “You know what sir in my 22 years of existence I can say there is nothing major major, I mean problem that I have done in my life because I am very confident with my family with the love that they are giving to me. So thank you so much that I am here!”

Clearly the judges would have liked to see honesty and some sort of ease in admitting her flaws, however Miss Philippines answered in a way that most viewers would not have predicted, which was pretty much a non-answer. Whether it was a case of nerves, or simply not wanting to get into the details about something that could show herself in a negative light, the answer costs her perhaps the title of Miss Universe. Either way Miss Philippines is a beautiful young girl with a bright future ahead of her.
