Our Front-row VIP seat experience of Miss Universe in 10 Minutes | Catriona Gray | Team MacBee

We enjoy beauty pageants especially Miss Universe, but not a long-time hardcore fan. But when Miss Universe was held in Bangkok last 2018, and hubbee got a chance to get a free front-row seat ticket to watch the show live, we grabbed the opportunity even if we had to wake up 3 in the morning (because they have to follow the US time zone for the live telecast). Being there was truly different. And the whole experience was unforgettable. To describe it, it was simply hard to breathe as it felt like everything happened so fast. We can't believe that on our first live show experience, a candidate from our country won (Catriona Gray), so it made the whole experience much more meaningful.

Aaggghhhh time flies sooo fast. This will be my favorite edition forever , any of the top 5 can be a winner only if they didnt competed on the same year plus Thailand had a great job from the activities, lights and production , and choice of music.

[@TeamMacBee]

not being biased because we watched it live, but it is our favorite edition too. the caliber of the contestants, the production, the presentation, etc. We were so lucky to be able to witness it live. Hoping to see great editions in the future. the past few years were a bit disappointment.

[@sherryelladora6030]

spot on! as in the girls were amazing! lahat tlg sa top15 crown material, pero tlgang halimaw lng tlg si Cat! any of the semi finalists pwdeng maging Ms U 2014🫣 yung pinaka weak nman sa tingin ko kasi nagkalat lahat sa final q and a ang top5! swerte din nila wla ng top3 question eh.

[@khentmangoba]

Years will past by and we will remember 2018 as the golden and iconic year in pageantry. Wala kang katulad, Catriona!

[@TeamMacBee]

totally iconic! Hard to beat!

[@borrisdillan9783]

I beg to disagree! 2015 will always be forever iconic and a legend! Pia is still for me the best Pinay MU triumphant win for the Phils in MU! Shes unparalleled.. Nobody expects her to win in that manner... Catriona's win is already expected.. Her performance was seamlessly perfect and she was just performing on the stage.. Everybody knows Catriona is the winner Pia's MU edition was a tough year coz Ariadna Gutierez frm Colombia was also very strong on her performance.. Pia was just ahead in the final q and a portion..

[@johnosam4681]

Catriona Gray did not entertain failure, that's why she rose all the way to the top. I wish Dindi Pajares did the same for her Miss Supranational 2021 journey. She should have received more help with her styling, pasarela and her choice of swimsuit and evening gowns. Dindi's evening gowns at Miss Supranational looked more economical than fashion forward and crown-worthy. I lament that she did not receive the same quality of support that Catriona Gray did. Nevertheless, her effort landed her in the Top 12. But had her glam team done more for her, she could have gone farther to the Top 5 of Miss Supranational 2021.
