Miss Venezuela Gives Awkward, Rambling Answer At Miss Universe 2012

During last night's Miss Universe Pageant finalists Q&A round, Miss Venezuela delivered an awkward, rambling answer to a question during a crucial moment of the contest.

The Venezuelan contestant, Irene Sofia Esser Quintero, was asked: "If you could make a new law, what would it be? And explain why."

Instead of answering through the provided translator, she opted to try answering in English. The results were not pretty: "I think that any leys 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!"

Ultimately, Quintero came in third place overall, losing out to Miss Philippines in second and Miss USA Olivia Culpo who took home the coveted crown.

She should have won if she only used her own dialect.

It was a very shameful moment. Everything was going so great for her until that moment.....She spilled the beans! totally messed it up. Make it or Break it moment...well, she broke it! Should she gave a better answer...not best but just a better answer and she would be wearing the crown. Honestly, after that answer I thought she would end up being the 6th runner up or something, but she got 2nd which means that they really liked her
