She's so strong that she became so unstoppable from the moment she was crowned as Miss Universe Philippines 2018. She's so strong that the haters always try to justify that the contest was already fixed because they knew their bets are not on Catriona's level to oppose with. She's so strong that the haters are pushing her imperfections and highlighted her mistakes just to gain sympathy from others who got full of jealousy. She's so strong that we already expected her to win the crown. And yes, she's the stongest candidate ever sent in Miss Universe. And I don't care if someone would try to oppose my opinion. But she's the only candidate we knew who prepared so well that even her gown was a result of her own colorful mind. Does anybody know other candidates who got involve in the making of their own gowns and national costume? None, only Catriona. So there.
Delaney Feuger And do u think those professional model walk naturally and not forced? of course they need to force their body to sway and flow because it's hard to do a catwalk, and what are u trying to find? a natural ramp walk? the only natural walk is when you're walking somewhere just like kendall, they walk normally in the street not catwalking. Dumb af. They will look stupid when they catwalk at the middle of the street.
Maureen Perez Yes but the way she said "forced" is nonsense. Like wtf? every pageantry walk is force and you dont walk their like you're trying to go to the bathroom. Contestants their usually control their tummy's to move like a wave so basically it's forcing your body and it's very different with walking naturally because the pageant will become boring.
What made her powerful, even through watching her from the screen, is that she doesn't wish for the crown. She enjoys and gives her best for each portion she gets into. No stress, just content with whatever is given, but at the same time feeling it, giving your best to it. That's the beauty of not always being the winner in life. It humbles you. It gives you content and the confidence that even if you lose, you won't regret a thing because it has happened to you a lot in life and that you've learned to anticipate it with such genuine positivity. So she wasn't scared of not being the winner, she made every moment memorable to her, savouring it, as if it's her last, enjoying every walk, every smile, every eye contact, every answer, everything. Plus, that passion for children, her creativity, is what added so much spice to her that no one. NO ONE can ever compare. Actually, she wasn't trying to be Miss Universe, Miss Universe was trying to be her. She is just amazing in many ways.
I totally agree with everything you write. She is amazing ❤️ I’m from Ecuador, so far from the Philippines, but I connected with her performance and her answers because she was just enjoying the moment. In fact, she is the only Miss Universe I keep following on social media cause I really admire her and what she is doing
Wow. I am always surprised by filipino. Your "miss universe", mixed abandoned children of white old tourist. Your "miss universe's boyfriend", are also mixed abandoned children of white old tourist. So, why are your poor native filipino so excited about two mixed abandoned children of foreigner tourist? Is there any business about your poor short native filipino? Do you have any true miss universe with native filipino father and native filipino grandfather?
No one can surpass her in Miss Universe History. Why? 1. Her heart is genuine and pure. 2. Authenticity. 3. She is prepared since the beginning. 4. Her strength. 5. She’s so Smart. 6. Talented. 7. Her confidence. 8. She is fierce. 9. She spread equality. 10. She is born to be MISS UNIVERSE. - Legendary ❤️💕🇵🇭👑

Yes, just tell your kids: My true native filipino can't be good looking so we can never be miss universe. We can only chase honorable white old guy to get mixed baby with honorable white european appearance to get a fake miss universe.
LOL. Being half white is what made them winners. Gray, Wurtzbach, Young, Fourniol, etc, etc, etc,... When it comes to representing 'Filipino beauty', the less Filipino blood, the better. Pinoy Pride via white worship. Sad.
The most iconic MU for me will always be Catriona Gray. I got goosebumps seeing her walk, talk and just expressing herself, her speech is just so spot on and so full of feels and sincerity that it reaches out to ur heart and honestly I doubt we could find another MU that could top her.
Seriously though. Everything from her beauty, her confidence, her intelligence, her red gown, her unique ear accessory screams main character. It was meant for her.
What stood out is her poise. She did not get rattled. Whoever prepped her for this did an excellent job. My God, that walk. She owned the room the minute she stepped out.
To be honest, she is the only delegate that i never got nervous all the way to the end...i had so much confidence with her that she could win this. And she did!!!!!
Got the same feeling but you can't predict what's gonna happen so I had nerves in my throat while they were cutting down the finalists especially the Legalization of Marijuana question. It was a trap actually.
One of the judges was heard to say that when Miss Philippines stood on stage among the rest of the contestants, her famous fiery red dress stood out that she instantly became the star and the rest of the contestants were relegated to back up dancers.
Miss Catriona set the standard of Miss Universe soooo highhhhhhh lmao nobody can top her performance she was so confident, elegant, witty, and prepared during the competition
Communication is the key 🥰 She knows how to communicate herself well from the start to end. Even whenever sho do the walk its like communicating with the audience without any word.
She was like a LEGEND in the history of Ms. Universe by far. Never seen that burning aura in any beauty queens out there. We cant deny the fact that She's a natural born queen, destined to conquer the world, the universe rather! 😁
Even Steven harvey he really listening to her answers like a melody you..I mean we loved to heared..while she's taking..all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!OMG!!! Bummmpp!!!
it's weird but catriona gray is the reason why i stopped slouching. she really helped me improve my posture. back then i always felt exhausted trying to straighten up but things changed after she won lol

I was competing in Campus Journalism at that time, with no access to gadgets, so I peeked at a random strangers phone, and watched how the Philippines once again, won the crown, Catriona's confidence giving me the strength and desire to win.
The most prepared candidate ever. After her winning as Miss Philippines, she traveled the three parts of the Philippines which are Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao to understand the symbolisms of her outfits and not just simply wear it. She even presented a PowerPoint presentation to her team from earrings to dress and so on.
@Cam montreuil engines She may not be fully Filipino blooded but what she felt in her heart is the blood of a true Filipina. Too funny how you call her fake! Why don’t you just support your candidate in your own country that never wins. Oops!
@Cam montreuil engines Comprehension left the group. I never even assumed for once that you’re a Filipino. Read and comprehend the whole context of my statement, dude. Dumb!
@Cam montreuil engines I can't believe I will actually see an individual bearing limited brain cells, with an astonishingly ignorant statement at that. Congrats! See, your comment lacks 2 things: research and common sense. You're the reason God created the middle finger.
@Cam montreuil engines holy shit calm ur tits. This is a national pageant that happened THREE YEARS AGO. I have no idea why you're bullshiting over the fact that she's only half-Filipina or a half-breed as if that alone makes her have an advantage, it doesn't make her any less of a Filipino who lived and breathed most of her life in the Philippines. She isn't FAKE and you're just fucking salty that she won.
It's 2023 and I still go back to rewatch these highlights. Catriona is unmatched in all aspects. She set the bar so high. Proud to raise our flag! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
The way she said Catriona in the "CATRIONA MAGNAYON GRAY, PHILIPPINES!" and the "hundred and four million filipinos" part is so cute, the accent is so Filipino🤣
The way she raises her chin, it exudes confidence yet at the same time, it looks elegant and humble. Ladylike yet bold. Her talent far exceeds from just a pretty face. She moves her body naturally as if she was merely walking through her own home. Catriona, is indeed a born queen.
That year was the year when I was happy with all the top 5 contestants. Honestly the best MU year ever. Amazing stage, crowd and contestants. Obviously, the best MU ever.
SubServers - Growtopia And More! but she chose to represent the PH. Porque po ba half foreigner instantly matalino agad? Filipinos have their own charm. :))
everyone's talking about her dress and her walk but honestly her answer was the most fire. It was perfect, they must have an idea of some of the questions that will be asked beforehand?!
I’m not even from Philippines, I’m actually from Colombia, but she is a stunning, intelligent, well prepared and amazing young lady. Congrats Cat. Well deserved.
the way she answer all the questions, the way she walk, the way she pose, the way she talk about herself, the way she smile, the way she feel confidence about herself. I love it!!! I'm happy that she's our Miss Universe 2018. She's the best queen💕. Press 👍 into blue if you think that she's the best
She is iconic. BTW Thailand is so far the best host country, the stage, delegates that year, the music, the audiences and absolutely Catriona Gray. Everything was perfect that year. I hope Thailand will be the host country again.
Wow. I am always surprised by filipino. Your "miss universe", mixed abandoned children of white old tourist. Your "miss universe's boyfriend", are also mixed abandoned children of white old tourist.

"Your" miss universe even have no a filipino father because her father is white guy.
It is too much pressure for the next representative of the Philippines for Miss Universe after Catriona. She has established a very high standard and I feel pity for the next represenatative, all eyes will be on her. And I guess, the rest of the world including the latinas will follow the strategy of Catriona in terms of preparedness. It's hard to pull off a back a to back win.
Xion Fournier ...why pity for the next rep?we will just put on to our mind that every person is a unique individual & every individual has its own quality...so we don't need to compare or to make the next rep to be like Catriona because Catriona is Catriona...if ever the next rep will copy Catriona's style so it would be a copycat... no originality...so let the next rep be on her own style...let her win in her own way...char LNG...
Not even a Filipino, but as Asian I'm so duper proud of her.. She is a clear winner from the beginning. Not just a Beautiful face, she has the intelligence, charisma and elegance that most contestants don't possess. And yet, she is so natural ! This complete package probably comes one in a decade.
Her win is Asia's win, not just our country's. See the format? She belongs to South Africa, Asia and the Pacific region. So whoever won, in case it was South Africa, it's still our pride coz we are all in one region as the Miss Universe organization grouped the continents.
THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT CATRIONA THAT'S TOOOO... TOOO POWERFUL. SHE DEF SET STANDARDS TOO FREAKIN HIGH THAT NO MATTER HOW PEOPLE TRYNA IMPERSONATE HER, NO ONE COULD BE LIKE HER. I DON'T THINK SOMEONE WHO COULD SURPASS HER IS ALREADY BORN. IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS BUT STILL, I CAN'T GET OVER THIS.
@@christinejoy8469 actually,they all shine in their own ways. sadyang iba lang talaga yung impact ni Catriona. Yun bang habang pinapanood mo sa umpisa palang u can already sense who will win aaa
Her performance was so strong from start to finish. Her win was already so obvious even before the top 5. Had it not been with the excellent program, production and overall show, it would have been a boring fight. But not to say that other candidates were weak - the batch is the strongest in years! This is why 2018 is arguably the most unforgettable year in MU history. Not to mention it was the end of an era before COVID took over the world and changed everything.
She has the most sincere answer, the most prepared, the most lovable, the phenomenal candidate in miss universe history...she is hot as lava!!! Catriona Elisa Magnayon Gray👸
I'm here again, rewatching Catriona's MU highlights. I still remember watching this live on our classroom, with my classmates even our teachers were late because we are all immersed with watching MU. Queen Cat really set the bars high for MU👏
This season was all about Catriona grey. Her dressess her style her walk her poses are unique. Never seen a woman like her in MU. She was Much prepared!
Soy venezolano y en este año apoyaba a nuestra Stefany Gutiérrez que es una mujer fuera de serie y hermosa , pero debo reconocer que esa corona se veía bien en ella..
Catriona's victory will forever remain pageantry's gold standard. Catriona is just a cut above the rest. I see no one who could ever top her performance, ever. Basically, she's a pageant god.
Pak na pak tlga si Cat. She went and slayed everyone with ease, intelligence, confidence and charisma that is second to none. Her performance for me was one of the best if not the best ever. Just perfection. THE STANDARD. THE BEYONCÉ OF MISS U.
It’s a joy to watch her. She just seemed to enjoy every moment of the competition. Effortlessly showing her best and her true self. She’s truly a queen!
You can’t help but compare other Ms. Universe candidates from her. Her walk is power with finesse, sharp, & on point. I love the arm swing whenever she does her strides. And you can’t seem to see that to any candidates today. Her stage presence is there from the start of the pageant to the very end.
Her answers were also amazing! You could tell that she was very sincere in every answer she said, and also her evening gown though!! The iconic lava dress was so beautiful especially when you know the meaning of it.
Yes, just tell your kids: My true native filipino can't be good looking so we can never be miss universe. We can only chase honorable white old guy to get mixed baby with honorable white european appearance to get a fake miss universe.
I can't still move on with her! Can we extend another year for her as our Miss Universe?! She's just so perfect for the title! Huhu! I'm so proud to be a Filipino!🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I thought the camera used a slo-mo app on that twirl in swimsuit competition and I was really amazed that they called it a "lava walk" and they matched it with volcano inspired gown lol amazing concept indeed. You rock Philippines! Asian pride!!!
Miss Universe 2018 will forever be memorable for me. Catriona is such an inspiration. I passed our board exam the same year she won the most coveted title.
tôi yêu cô gái này, cô ấy vừa xinh đẹp vừa dễ thương tôi rất thích cô ấy, tôi là người việt nam i love this girl, she is both beautiful and cute i like her very much, i'm vietnamese
Yes, just tell your kids: My true native vietnamese/filipino can't be good looking so we can never be miss universe. We can only chase honorable white old guy to get mixed baby with honorable white european appearance to get a fake miss universe.
