As the finale of Miss Universe 2015 came to an end, it looked like as if it might be a back to back win for Colombia. Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo from Colombia was already wearing the crown and waving at the audiences as this year's Miss Universe winner, when the host Steve Harvey returned to apologize. "OK folks ... I have to apologize.”, these were Steve’s words, as a confused Vegas audience looked at him. He continued and said it was his mistake and that he would take responsibility for not correctly reading the card, which said that contestant Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach was this year's winner and Colombia was actually the first runner-up. "Nobody feels worse about this than me," he concluded.

While a confused and surprised Pia walked towards the stage, a shocked and disheartened Ariadna stood their looking all confused. It was a conflicting emotion for both the girls. Colombia was then forced to give up her crown and look at it as it went to Miss Philippines. This confused and conflicting ending, left the viewers on the edge of their seats. Pia said, since she is now the voice of Miss Universe, she apologises for what happened on behalf of the organization. She says the mistake wasn't done purposely and "it was an honest mistake."

Harvey also apologized on Twitter and wrote, "I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake," he wrote. "I feel terrible." "It was humiliating for the women. It was humiliating for him," he told reporters after the pageant.
