Steve Harvey's flop at miss universe 2015


Good day folks, I hope you are enjoying the beginning of your week, today I was bored so I started reading some old news from Yahoo entertainment, suddenly I saw an article which made me laugh, , the title of the article was “The president of Philippines does not want Steve Harvey anywhere near the miss universe pageant.”. From this quote, you would probably remember the incident that happened in 2015 when Steve Harvey made a mistake by calling Miss Colombia as the winner instead of Miss Philippines. That sequence was played all around the World and Mr Harvey had to apologize countless times.Link 1

The all purpose of this blog is to analyse situations with a public relations opinion, social media played a huge impact regarding this event let us see how:

  • Steve Harvey became a public clown:

With the interactive nature of the web 2.0, the public had the opportunity to react to the scandal. Through memes, complaints and insults, people were able to express their anger and astonishment, because of that unfortunate mistake and the social media effect, the Miss universe 2015 became memorable. Steve Harvey was not mad about it and decided to make fun of himself by uploading a picture on Facebook with the caption merry Easter but it was Christmas. Link 2


  • Viral marketing: A mistake transformed into promotion

Before this outrageous event I did not know anything about miss universe and I may assume that there are a lot of people like me, therefore the show received more streams and views than ever before, at the end of the day it was good publicity for the contest, since then I have been watching miss universe every year, Do you think that Steve Harvey’s mistake brought something valuable to the show? Link 3. Let us look at the stats regarding the streams the show received in 2015 in comparison to the previous years.

2013 : 3.4 million
 2014: 6.1 million
 2015: 20.1 million already! 

In other words the event was a complete success, let us take a look at a poster that I created for the occasion.

  • The humiliation of Ariadna María Gutiérrez: Link 4 

One of the drawbacks of this mistake and the impact of social media is that miss Colombia Ariadna María Gutiérrez went through hell. She was either mocked or pitied by millions of people around the world and it tamed her reputation and the one of her country: Colombia


RECOMMENDATION: Link 5 




Mistakes can happen, we are all humans. Steve Harvey assumed his mistake and corrected it immediately. The way people reacted was simply mean and immature personally I felt bad for him and I think he learned greatly from his error. The only advice that I could give is that people should be more tolerant, otherwise, organizers handled the situation appropriately. What are your thoughts about all of this? Comment below. For me and you, we are done for today. Peace .  Link 6

  5. Everyone knows Steve Harvey is a comedian therefore he shouldn't have taken advantage of that thinking that people will just let him go.He really embarassed Ariadna María Gutiérrez in front of the whole world which ruined his event which was suppossed to be an event of the year.

    2. steve Harvey is indeed a comedian and that stunt was probably pulled to get viewers talking about the show and for publicity reasons however it clearly backfired ... well written post as well

  7. As much as it was an honest mistake most people concluded that it was a deliberate joke since he's a well known commedian. Nevertheless i really feel he never meant to humiliate Miss colombiana
