Miss Venezuela's Bizarre Interview Becomes Internet Sensation -- Watch

Oh, dear. Miss Venezuela has become an internet sensation for all the wrong reasons, due to her bizarre bumbling at the Miss Universe competition.

On Dec. 19, Olivia Culpo brought home the crown at the Miss Universe pageant, winning the title for USA for the first time in over a decade. But, alas, her success is being overshadowed by another contestant: Irene Sofia Esser Quintero - also known as Miss Venezuela – who’s bizarre ramblings have made her an internet sensation!

Miss Venezuela’s Pageant Interview: Her Strange Answer

Now, my pageant knowledge stems mostly from films such as Miss Congeniality and Drop Dead Gorgeous, but it’s safe to assume there is lots of backstage bitching, backstabbing and various attempts of sabotage. But Irene took sabotage to a whole new level. Instead of doing something cliche like trying to trip up her opponents, or poison them, or tamper with her gown or any type of typical high jinx one would see in a movie, Miss Venezuela got creative.

What did she do? She out-shined her competitors by bizarrely rambling like Charlie Sheen during his “winning” phase — except with a big smile and less craziness. Irene was asked, “If you could change one law, what would it be and why?” by the handsome Pretty Little Liars actor, Diego Boneta, and her answer was nonsensical!

Irene, who’s first language is Spanish, replied with, “I think that any leys (laws) there are in Constitution or in life, are already made. I think that we should have, uh, a straight way to go in our similar, or, eh, in our lives as is this. For example, I’m a surfer, and I think that the best wave that I can take is the wave that I wait for it. So please do our only, eh, law that we can do. Thank you, Vegas!”

Well, at least she is polite!

Users took to Twitter to slam and tease Irene, but they are fools I say — fools! They think she is confused and sweet, but it’s obvious what’s going on here: she is trying to steal Olivia’s thunder. Irene knew she had lost the crown, so what better way to grab the limelight then look sweet and innocent while answering a boring question. Olivia must be positively raging right now.

Irene eventually came in third place, but I think she was robbed, especially after her beautiful metaphor about catching a wave.

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think Irene should have won for being so comical?

Obviously she doesn’t speak English very well. I’d like to see all of you answer a question in Spanish!

Lovely, She just doesn’t speak english well.

she just ramble about nothing made no sense at all

i think Miss Venezuela should’ve used a translater

translator

que estupidez

Lol! What does that metaphor even have to do with laws?
I agree! I think she knew she lost and was upset about it so she decided to have her namd live on. Somehow, someway. And that is what she came up with. HAHA

this is so dumb. English is not her first languange, she should have used the translator, that was her only mistake. And she was way prettier that miss USA. I would like to see Miss USA or any american try to answer a question in spanish.

I think she got nervous and confused trying to do two things at the same time: constructing the sentence correctly to impress with her English, and thinking of a smart answer, which at the end backfired.

But she was not the prettiest, neither Olivia or Philippines. Everything in Miss Universe point us to politics. Venezuela just became myth that they are all the time the prettiest. They were amazing beautiful women that were 10 times prettier than Philippines, for example, but it seems that the organization is trying to pick one per continent to be fairer.

In general, Oriental women have flat behinds, small eyes, no eyebrows, and very short eyelashes, etc. Remove all makeup and show me your real beauty, then let’s talk abut beauty.

Politics, Politics, and more Politics.

Flantella — “Oriental” women? I thought that term to got shelved during the McCarthy era? And when you say “oriental”, which ethnicity are you referring to? Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Tibetan, Malaysian, Indonesian, Filipino, Vietnamese, Burmese, Khmer, Lao, Timorese, Brunei, Ainu, Han, etc. Obviously, by your physiological description of what you think an “oriental” looks like, you obviously are one of those people who think they all look alike. LOL!
