When Beauties Fumble

I super love pageants!

I lurve the thrill of choosing a bet, the cheering and the jeering that come with it, and the elation when your "definition of beauty" conquers the (coronation) night.

But admit it, we lurve it more when beauties fumble, 'coz it only makes them as ordinary as us, ayt?

Here are some classic Q&A moments in local and international pageants.


Janina San Miguel at the Bb. Pilipinas 2008 Pageant


Who could ever forget Janina San Miguel who won the Binibining Pilipinas-World title despite her boo-boo? She made the headlines in all local news and became a celebrity even after she was dethroned, I mean replaced, by Danielle CastaƱo as rep to Ms. World 2008.

But our dear Janina was not the original Fumble Queen. Before her was this girl...


Jeannie Anderson at the Bb. Pilipinas 2001 (?) Pageant



And another gorgeous lady who lost a crown for her answer...


Marie Ann Umali at the Binibining Pilipinas 2007 Pageant


She was a frontrunner then, expected to run away with the Bb. Pilipinas-Universe title with her undeniable beauty of face and body but poof! She returned to the Bb. stage this year and finally snatched the Bb. Pilipinas World title.

But you see, it could have been the language that did it for the girls. Let's accept it hon, English is not our native tongue. But how would you account this one for?


Miss South Carolina Caitlin Upton at the Miss Teen USA 2007 Pageant


Haha! Did you get confucious, I mean confused? Wait till you watch this.


Giosue Cozzarelli at the Miss Panama 2009 Pageant
