MISS UNIVERSE 2023: My EPIC experience at the FINAL Coronation Night | First Time at Miss Universe

Miss Universe 2023 just had its final competition and coronation night and I made a whole vlog about my experience since it was my first time at the beauty pageant.
During the Miss Universe 2023, we had many surprises and during this vlog, I'll share with you all the entire experience from the audience's perspective. Everything is here! From the Introduction and Opening number to the Swimsuit competition and evening Gown Competition. Of course, I am also sharing with you all my reactions to the Top 20, Top 10, Top 5 and Top 3 announcement + Question and answer segments. This vlog wouldn't be complete without the reaction to the Miss Universe 2023 coronation moment!
I hope you enjoy this video and that it makes you feel like you experienced the entire Miss Universe 2023 beauty pageant with me.
How do you feel about the outcome?

I love how Luis supported Michelle and Anntonia most of all ❤

[@danzohina]

She is number one fan of michelle unlike Adam very bias and plastic

[@annemae1124]

Among the last 3 standing, there's no doubt that Miss Nicaragua is the winner. But if Michelle got into top 5, that changes the game. Bias aside, I think that Michelle deserves a higher placement based on her overall performance.

[@primabarba2428]

Totally Agree… for Ms Philippines .. would have gotten it if she got hold of the mic.. could have nailed it. hence something fishy I guess…!!!

[@daddykarl3312]

I dont think so...MMD deserved only in tht Top 10... the Top 5 are more smart and Graceful than her..😇😇😇😇😇

​@@daddykarl3312did we watch the same thing? Have u heard the answers? Top 5 Q&A this year is the lamest

[@robertlouisebaker-hyde1267]

The Philippines evening gown is so immaculate, regal and iconic! It’s befitting the crown and a victor but I’m seriously baffled on how in the hell didn’t she make it to the top 5 at the least? I have so many questions! Her preliminary performance and her finals both the swimsuit and evening gown are phenominal. She killed everyone in the evening gown showdown. She aced all of the segments! Something is not right here. She’s the epitome of a transformational leader that the organization is looking for. She bagged three awards and her credentials are solid. I guess they did everything they could to prevent her from holding that mic. She would’ve demolished them all.

[@jackinthebox3474]

As a Nicaraguan I can say that I do believe she should be in the top 5 instead of Australia.. but overall am very Happy for Nicaragua bringing the crown home for the first time in Miss Universe history.. Side note I was also shook that Miss Honduras didn't make it to the top 20

[@farmgirl768]

Simple.. The judges deliberately made sure Phils won't make it to Top 5. They knew how articulate Michelle.. So their candidates might not win if Michelle would be in Top 5

[@erikdeleon]

best edition so far... the girls are high class contestants, the event production and video edits were amazing, the sequencing executed very well. MMD also surprised the Filipinos with her awesome performance, but Nicaragua really stands out since prelims. Dom Rep performance in the prelims gown competition made her weakened her edge, another El Tocuyo. I think the nation of El Salvador surpassed the 2018 edition of this pageant, world-class.. super amazing!

[@jay-nz4zw]

Not even close. Everything is fine until Q&A happened.

They cleared out Miss Philippines early to prevent her from snatching the crown in a head to head Q&A.

[@jamesdordas8569]

We need a clear statement from the Miss Universe Organisation on why there was a mistake with their affiliated Miss El Salvador social media’s Top 5 announcement. A woman who has garnered a Voice for Change Gold Award, Top Fan Vote Award & Spirit of Carnival Award in a competition should have deserved a higher placement. We have been gifted with one of the best transformative woman that ever walked across the universe to claim her fate. Her journey will be remembered 🖤

[@ronneilvaliente7135]

Congratulations 🎊👏 for being in the top 10 and for doing your best in representing the Philippines 🇵🇭, MMD! Gold Award for Voice of Change and Spirit of Carnival award are huge achievement as well. If you read between the lines of the message of Paula Shugart during the preliminary night, one can see the real reason of her resignation as the president of MUO. Probably it is one of the reasons why the stars didn't align for Michelle Dee. The credibility and transparency of MUO is deteriorating. Miss Nicaragua is deserving to be the Miss Universe 2023 and it is her destiny. My friends and I were rooting for either Miss Philippines, Miss Nicaragua, or Miss Puerto Rico to win that night. To MMD, we, the Filipino-American community, are proud of you. You are the Miss Universe in the hearts of every Filipino and other nationalities who believe in you and your advocacy. Keep it up! Good luck to Michelle and to the new Miss Universe 2023 Sheynnis Palacios!

During the EG competition, Nicaragua & Philippines made a mistake in the blocking. Instead of making a left @ the center of the stage where there is a star marker on the floor, they both walked straight to the front, made a U turn & turned right to exit.
