Wurtzbach's journey to the most coveted crown came with a lot of failures. As many fans would know, she made three attempts before she won a beauty title at the Binibining Pilipinas pageant, which paved the way to her Miss Universe journey.
The 64th Miss Universe pageant has been a hot topic ever since the coronation night, with various media outlets labeling the event as the "the worst mistake in TV awards show history,"
While Steve Harvey has already apologized for his mistake, people are still abuzz over the tension with Colombian pageant fans and Filipino pageant fans.
