Miss Philippines 2010: Did Venus Raj’s answer cost her the Miss Universe crown? (photos,videos)

Miss Philippines 2010 Venus Raj seemed to be a top favorite at the Miss Universe pageant. Once she was asked her question in the final round of the competition, however, it seemed things took a quick downward spiral for the beautiful Miss Universe contestant. Miss Philippines looked gorgeous in a silver shimmering evening gown as she stepped up to the microphone to answer the question submitted to her by panel judge William Baldwin.

You may see photos of Miss Philippines in the slideshow below, as well as view a video where William Baldwin asked her the question. If you missed the Miss Universe pageant you may watch it in its full entirety below as well.

William Baldwin asked, “What is one big mistake that you’ve made in your life and what did you do to make it right?” The question seems harmless and didn’t contain the magnitude of political divisiveness as did the question asked by Perez Hilton of Carrie PreJean about gay marriage. Could Miss Philippines share her biggest mistake with the public?

Maybe Miss Philippines was caught off guard, maybe she didn’t want to taint her image or reputation by going public with her failings. Or maybe Miss Philippines is perfect and the world has missed the greatest opportunity to be represented by the one woman who has lived her life in pure perfection. Whatever the reason, Miss Philippines totally ignored the question and failed to answer.

“Thank you sir for that wonderful question,” she answered. “Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening Las Vegas!” Venus Raj continued with a giggle in her voice. Then it appears Venus Raj sealed her fate and would not be crowned the next Miss Universe 2010, “You know what sir, in my 22-years of existence there is nothing major, major, no problem that I have done in my life, because I am very confident with my family. Because of all the love that they are giving to me, so thank you so much that I am here. Thank you, Thank you so much.”

William Baldwin looked a bit amused and there were no juicy scandals revealed, no tales of prior mistakes that could have sidetracked Miss Philippines from attaining her goals. Instead, Venus Raj smiled, blew a kiss held her evening gown and sashayed off the stage.

What do you think? Did her answer cost her the crown?
