The Miss Universe 2017 pageant was held on Sunday, November the 26th,
in Las Vegas where ninety-two women from around the world competed for
the crown.
The host for the pageant again was Steve Harvey, who made several
jokes about his 2015 mistake, when he pronounced the wrong person as
that year’s winner.
The top 5 contestants selected after the evening gown portion, were Miss
South Africa, Venezuela, Thailand, Jamaica and Colombia.
Advancing to the top 3 were Miss Jamaica, Colombia and South Africa.
After answering one question each, Jamaica’s Davina Bennett was made the
third runner up, Miss Colombia Laura Gonzalez was the second runner-up,
while Miss South Africa, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters emerged as Miss Universe
2017!
Nel-Peters was a favorite throughout the night, she described how she
survived a carjacking by fighting back against her attacker and used
that terrifying experience to help other women, and spoke out about
issues such as equal pay.
