La miss usa con esa respuesta tan espontanea y original se puso ya en ese preciso momento la corona de miss universo...la belleza fisica puede resultar y es subjetiva y ella tenia una tipo de belleza distinto y particular pero fue su agudeza mental y su gran personalidad lo que le valio coronarse esa noche como miss universo...siendo una justa ganadora
Soy Venezolano y Marena Bencomo merecia ganar por lo elegante, bella e inteligente pero . . . Miss USA se la comió con esa acertada respuesta, ha sido una de mis favoritas, la felicito y bien ganado ese titulo.
@caravaggio31 Being beautiful isn't enough. These women have to represent the Miss Universe pageant and meet with politicians, royalty, celebrities, and give speeches all over the world, while championing causes that will better the world. You can't do all of those things just by being pretty; you have to be smart too, and like it or not, that's the main reason there's a section in the pageant to ask questions. Face it, USA gave a brilliant answer. The best ever in Miss Universe history, really.
Tan relativa y subjetiva la belleza. De las 3, físicamente más bella Venezuela, sin embargo su respuesta fue la menos original, digo viajar no rompe las reglas. Comer lo que quieras y más siendo una reina de belleza, si lo es, por eso se ganó al jurado, la USA, al final. En fin no quiero hablar mal de ningún país, yo simplemente creo que nunca gana la más bella. Hay muchos otros factores como la seguridad, la proyección, la simpatía, la suerte de dar una respuesta inesperada, etc... ya sin hablar de la "mercadotecnia". Saludos desde México.
LUIS AVILA COMO NO VA A DAR LA MEJOR RESPUESTA LA NORTEAMERICA SI TENIA LA PREGUNTA CON ANTELACION?.... DESPUES SE COMPROBO ESO. LA MISMA MARENA BENCOMO LO CONFIRMO. PARA MI DEBIO GANAR VENEZUELA, PRIMERA TRINIDAD Y TOBAGO, USA DE SEGUNDA...SALUDOS,,,
Fue la respuesta mas sencilla, acertada, divertida, espontánea y directa. No fue la más bonita pero si la más astuta. A pesar que la venezolana era más bonita físicamente, la respuesta fue muy tonta y predecible.
No he defendido a Marena, pero por favor, eso de "plástica" ya quedó hace mucho en el pasado, para quienes no se han dado cuenta en este concurso se aceptan las cirugías desde la década de los 70's jeje. Realmente la locura mas grande fué la de Trinidad & Tobago, esa si sería una locura. La hawaiana se escuchó graciosa. Por fa, no nos critiquen a las venezolanas, y miren que en agosto vamos por la SEPTIMA.
This answer is still one of the best winning answers in the pageant's history because of how candid and honest it was. The only other answer that compares is Gloria Diaz' answer in 1969, when the Q&A portion was first introduced.
A Venezuela no le robaron ninguna corona. Soy Venezelona y para ser sincero Merana, aunque muy bella, perdio por pendeja. Que respuesta tan increiblemente mala, y aparte la dio sin nada de ganas. Yo no entiendo porque Venezuela mando a una mujer tan increiblemente Gocha. La America respondio no solo inteligentemente pero con una gran chispa.
Great answer. No need for any long, drawn out answers. Loved it... Miss Universe 2002 (Oxana Federova) is another example; it's good to know when to give a simple answer.
Just listen to the crowds and the hosts response after she delivers her answer. The crowd is chanting USA. Clearly...she was the crowd favorite and had the most applause. I'm a proud native of Hawaii and support Brooke Lee. This doesn't mean, I'm biased but despite the seriousness of the pageant, her answer was quick, honest and it was relatable. She's beautiful, elegant, a Goddess and obviously much more quick witted than the other two contestants.
Miss USAs answer was particularly relevant because Miss Universe from the year before was getting alot of flack in the press over her weight. Her answer was short, intelligent, and hilarious. I think this is one of the best answers from any of the Miss Universe competitions.
Karthi Tingu in the previous year when Alicia Machado won Miss Universe, she gained a lot weight and it was a very scandalous issue because of weight gain. So Miss USA utilizes it...lol
I love how friendly, sweet, and considerate Brooke Lee is. Look at how she held Miss T&T's hand when they walked over to the soundproof booth and how she even squatted to make sure the latter's draperies don't get trapped between the doors.
Question: "If you could do anything in the world for one day without rules, what would you do?" Miss USA: "I would eat everything in the world. You do not understand! I would eat everything twice." (if you remember the reigning miss universe at the time had controversy because she gained a lot of weight. so Miss USA was cleverly poking fun at what it's like to maintain an image)
The way Miss USA answered was very perfect. Sometimes we need to be simple and answer smart. That is what she has done. Wonderful. Even in 2018 I watch this video only to hear her answer. She is really a genuine person and ofcourse genius too. Love from India...🇮🇳
marena bencomo no merecia estar ahi... su respuesta fue sinceramente ESTUPIDA, Ese lugar lo merecía Verna Vasquez de Curacao o Denny Mendez de Italia. Lo que pasa es que Carolina Herrera se dio gusto haciendo que el puntaje de las demas competidoras bajara para beneficiar a Miss Venezuela....
I wonder how someone can "magically travel from place to place to place?" That really does not make sense??? At least with Brook's answer was intelligent!
I remembered when Brook won. I love this girl. Her mixed combinations are also what adds up to her exotic and unique personality and as far as look goes, shes got the package!
Such stupid answers... If I could do anything I wanted in a single day, no rules, I would free all farm animals and animals in captivity and destroy slaughterhouses. Gosh, life should have a purpose other than looking beautiful and saying stupid things.
La.chica de venezuela tenia un tipo de belleza acorde alos canones establecidos en estos concursos pero no proyectaba nada era una muñeca de papel...se le veia tan insegura fragil y temerosa hasta tonta...muy distinta la usa que se proyectaba la imagen de una mujer real con personalidad aptitud y aplomo ...era una de las pocas veces que los jurados le daban un poco de aire nuevo a estos concursos...
Brooke Lee is beautiful!!! Her answer only solidified her win!! Miss Venezuela's answer was not realistic. Miss Trinidad and Tobago's answer was x-rated! Brooke Lee ....beautiful, smart, witty....the complete package!
I agree...she is a genius...but she's also beautiful inside and out! The years have been kind to her as well. She's still gorgeous and witty and smart!
USA contestant answer simple and relevant! Fantastic!!! Hopefully, other contestants can do the same thing, just give a simple answer shld be alrite! No need to think so much bcos judges looking for simple and spontaneous answer.
I thought Miss Trinidad and Tobago answered the question fully (The question was .... What is the most outrageous thing you would do if there were no rules) she answered she won't wear clothes.. which is the most realistic of all three answers. Miss USA even though Im from America.. was kinda of cute but dumb how could you ever everything in the world and do it Twice! And Miss Venezuela was just plain dreaming.. a magic carpet to travel from place to place... seriously. I guess Intelligent answers were not needed at that time. Miss Trinidad and Tobago should have won as her answer was the most realistic and actually not wearing clothes in public is a bit outrageous which is what the question was for. The judges were blind or deaf.. they gave a question that got a really good answer and they went with the funny girl instead. Oh well.
Christoph London disagreed. brooke lee gave a genius answer. eat everything in the world, thats outrageous. like what she said that we might not understand her, so do you. eating everything twice, thats already sooooo outrageous... GENIUS ANSWER!!!! getting naked... not that very outrageous. travelling and magically return to venezuela for a day not realistic
Christopher London obviously was the blind and deaf one. Even the audience response to her answer ... everyone were all dumbfounded. She was the only one laughing at her boring and not outrageous answer. Miss USA was smart and her answer was relevant to what was a controversy with the reigning miss Universe that year.
I still remember Miss USA's answer to that question vividly. When she said "You do not understand!" the first thing that came to my mind was "It must be real hard being a pageant contestant!" Great answer :-)
USA deserves to win. She gave the most intelligent answer to the question. It was a very witty one because, their predecessor had problem with the organization regarding weight issues that Miss Universe 1996, Alicia Machado almost lost the crown due to weight gain. Venezuela's answer failed because she was not told that she will be given any magic/power to do so...
Own Perspective Brooke Lee is a genius giving a genius answer. if you analyze it, eating everything in the world is already outrageous. we many not understand her.... because of that outrageous act. eating them twice is even more outrageous. this is perfect... this is genius. very realistic
Y para los que no me creen: comparen a Marena con Alicia Machado. Sea como sea, escandalo o no, Alicia se merecia su corona y cuando comparas a Marena con Alicia es muy obvio la diferencia. Alicia si tenia personalidad e intelligencia, algo que a Marena le falto demasiado.
y eso que critican alas colombianas y esta para mi es la peor respuesta de toda la historia ,hasta ahora se que viajar es una locura que desatino no merecía que la dejaran parada al lado de Brooke lee su respuesta descomplicada le dio la corona
I think Brook Lee(USA) was just born genuine and genius. Her speaking skills are definitely out of the league bc the communicational instinct like hers can never be cultivated through effort or practice. I am watching Brook Lee’s every single pageant videoclip and truly fascinated by her speeches and bright smiles. What a special person.
Miss Trinidad and Tobago saying..."I would want to be free and I'm sure everybody else would"....free to be naked???? Everybody???? I don't think so. Stupid answer.
Brook answered from her belly. She was starving from trying to look like what was expected in a beauty pageant. Her answer is unforgettable and so is her gown. Genius!
Creo que igual y Marena llegó lejos, Venezuela defendia ese año también y fué la primera vez que quedabamos en segundo lugar cuando defendiamos. Este año ni siquiera estuvimos en en top jejeje. La respuestas de Marena no fueron malas, fueron buenas, pero no proyectó seguridas, igual, llegó lejos.
Marena Bencomo o era fea.. pero a mi criterio le faltaba chispa..!! como fue la mis USA.. soy de Venezuela.. y pienso que a Brooke Lee si mereció la corona pues su respuesta fue muy fresca y con mucha chispa..!! en fin.. Venezuela tiene 6 coronas y vamos por mas... XD
I watched first Miss USA, and then now Miss Universe: a few little things I notice is Brooke Lee has good manners: she said thank you to the man who held the door in the Miss USA Final 3, and now after she entered the glass room, seeing Ms. Trinidad's gown was outside, she bowed down to fix it for her. She is perhaps not the most beautiful one in the group, but she has good manners, and she is very funny. Her answers are relatable, short, to the point. She knows how to use her quick wits to her advantage. This is what I like about the good old American beauty pageant: they are not afraid to ask sensitive question.
Este concurso es belleza pero tambien se califican otras cualidades que van de la mano. Y quizas Miss USA no era la mas bella, pero tenia esa chispa y espontaneidad que la caracterizo esa noche. Muy buena respuesta a la pregunta final. Espontanea!!!!
venezuela perdio por esa respuesta tan estupida!!!! y acuerdense que todo se decide con la respuesta final!!!!...... pero la verdad la corona era para marena B. que rubia mas bella
Pasa es lo siguiente la verdad no se como Marena llego de Primera Finalista por que la de USA y Trinidad por que la respuesta de Marena fue muy pobre mas no como la Trinitaria que respondio mejor que ella y Brook supero todas las espectativas al decir que "se pasaria el Dia comiendo y ademas de ser dificil hacer dieta y comeria todo el doble" esta respuesta fue crucial tomando en cuenta lo ocurrido con Alicia Machado y los 21 Kilos de Sobrepeso que engordo durante su año como Miss Universo
George's laugh was wonderful..loved it and her answer! The crowd chanting USA..over and over! Rotf..and George pumping up the crowd haha! Sorry mr trump! They got ya
Miss Venezuela had a v unrealistic ans. Miss Trinidad and Tobago v wrong perception. Miss USA had a answer which might not be v bombastic but v authentic v v v original and cimes from her heart. Brook lee deservef it and won it. Gr8 ans
Digo, yo no considero que Brook sea una belleza, pero si te digo que venezuela estuvo en ese lugar gracias a la parcialidad de Carolina Herrera que le dio 8 a todas las participantes menos a la de su pais... QUE POCO OBJETIVA LA VIEJA.
La Venezolana se veia mas asustada que cuando sales de una Montana rusa en un parque de diversiones, la Miss TT no se que hacia alli y la Miss Usa totalmente espontanea y bella y su respuesta tan natural, le salio del alma
101enri la venezolana no se repone de la estupidez que dijo la respuesta de usa fue una cachetada a la Machado que esta hecha una cerda fue complot confabulado con trump para terminar de humillar a Alicia jajajaja de ahí su reacción al coronar a la gringa
físicamente la gringa no es despampanantemente bonita pero su inteligencia y lo que proyecta la hizo ganar, la venezolana se perdió tremenda oportunidad si hubiese contestado eso mismo ya que Alicia Machado estaba siendo atacada en la prensa por su sobrepeso
I love how Brooke helps Miss Trinidad and Tobago with her dress when they enter the booth. Brooke Lee is such a classy lady! Totally deserved her crown (and I'm not even American).
:( its 14 years ago but it's still hurt that Verna Vasquez Miss Curacao didnt win. she had the crown. but NIW i love the answer from USA its so honest , funny hahahahaha
No importa... a veces ser hermosa no lo es todo... vale mas una hawaiana normal e inteligente, que una catira bonita y bruta... Y eso que a mi me gustaba Marena...
