(News Provider) Miss Philippines 2010: Wrong Answer, No Crown!
I liked best the article from ABC News. According to the writer, the question to Miss Philippines was actually a difficult one that even former US President George W. Bush was also asked the same question but answered nothing.
It also said that even the smartest people find the question tough.
However, it suggests that just like in a job interview, one must always be prepared to answer a question like that. It can actually be asked not only to Venus but to everyone at any time.
I must admit, if I were in Venus' situation, I would also have a hard time pinpointing one big mistake especially when asked on the spot, thus I would just end up answering "nothing" just like what she did.
And also, the question was to cite a big mistake, and not simply a mistake, so it's kinda believable that Venus indeed never had a "big" mistake or in her own terms, "major, major problem".
But those write-ups all boil down to the fact that Miss Philippines Maria Venus Raj could have won if only she gave an impressive answer.
I believe though that even if she answered well, she'll end up as high as 2nd Runner Up only because the winner, Miss Mexico, and the 1st Runner Up, Miss Jamaica, were already the top favorites by the judges.
During the swimsuit round, Jamaica was 1st, Mexico in 2nd and Philippines was 3rd while in the evening gown, Mexico was 1st, Jamaica 2nd but the Philippines was only 5th. That means, the judges (and possible Miss Universe owner Donald Trump) were already eyeing on Mexico and Jamaica as the potential winner.
