  • Miss Universe 2015 Q&A Portion

    The Miss Universe 2015 pageant was full of twists and turns this year. But before all of that drama with the announcement and crowning of the winner happened, the audience got treated to a showcase of the candidates’ wit and grace under pressure in the Miss Universe 2015 Q&A. Let’s see how the finalists fared and how I, Amiciness, answer these questions:

    The 2015 Miss Universe pageant is just a few days away, and now we, the audience and the judges, get the chance to meet and judge the candidates before one of them is crowned as the new Miss Universe.

  • Everyone’s favorite portion of the Miss Universe pageant is the Q & A. To say that pageant fans were disappointed with the candidate’s answers is an understatement. Here is a recap of how the Top 5 finalists fared, plus Amiciness has its own (sometimes comedic and sassy) answers.

    First Round: Judges’ Questions

    USA - Nia SanchezIf you were given 30 seconds to deliver a message to a global terrorist, what would you say? – world champion boxer Manny Pacquiao

    USA replied: I would just say that I know as Miss USA I can always spread a message of hope and love and peace … to them and everyone else in the world.

    Amiciness answers: I will not say anything. I will take the 30 seconds to hear them out. Sometimes, listening is all it takes to end a fight. *pauses* I thank you.
