First runner up is Miss Philippines Janine Tugonon; second runner is Miss Venezuela Irene Sofia Esser Quintero; third runner up is Miss Australia Renae Ayris and the fourth runner up is Miss Brazil Gabriele Markus.
Before the announcement is made, Rancic thanks the judges for making a life-changing decision for the winner. She also thanks Donald Trump, who owns the pageant.
The national costume contest winner is Miss China. In order are Miss Mexico, Miss Netherlands, Miss Sri Lanka, Miss Brazil, Miss Nicaragua, Miss British Virgin Islands, Miss Panama, Miss Peru and Miss Indonesia.
Miss Venezuela's question is from Diego Boneta. She chooses to answer in English, even though there's an interpreter. Unfortunately, I didn't hear the question.
Miss Philippines choses Nigel Barker, who asks since Miss Universe is an international representative, should English be a prerequisite. Again, I didn't hear the answer.
Miss Australia chose Lisa Vanderpump, who asked to what she would say if she were told to lose weight. She said she feels good about herself and if she's asked to lose weight, she wouldn't because she's OK with how she looks. Good for her.
Miss USA chose Ximena Navarette, who asked if she's done anything she'd never do again. She said every experience is something she's learned from, but the thing she did was pick on her siblings while they were growing up. But she doesn't regret it.
Miss Brazil chose Kerri Walsh who said she wears a swimsuit when she competes. She asked if she feels if she's reduced to being a sexual object because of that. Miss Brazil chooses to use the interpreter and says the way they dress should not matter because it's what inside that shows their true self and character.
