Netizens speak: Why the crown slipped from Gazini

This beauty pageant nation was a little heartbroken Monday morning when the Philippines’ Gazini Ganados failed to clinch a back-to-back win with 2018 Miss Universe Catriona Gray, much less snag a place for her finish. After all, Ganadoz’ performance in the pre-pageant activities had been more than promising — many of them going viral even — making her a crowd favorite from the start.

Ganadoz certainly looked like a winner on coronation night at the Tyler Perry Auditorium in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, but the verdict among netizens is that she seemed to lack in confidence and looked nervous through most of the competition. They further reckon that the pressure in succeeding Gray became too much for her to take the closer she got to the main event.
