Mirror UK: The controversy surrounding the winner of the Miss Universe pageant just stepped up a gear...Miss Germany Sarah-Lorraine Riek, who came unplaced in the competition admitted afterwards that she wasn't happy with the result.
“I really couldn’t believe it, I was so upset. For me Miss France as the real winner,” she said in an interview uploaded to (a) Facebook page... “I was very happy for Miss Colombia because she really deserved it. I’m really not happy with the result and so are the other girls, I’m sorry to say it...Because no one of us voted for Philippines. I’m so sorry to say it.”

Miss Germany Corporation (Facebook): ...(W)e honestly congratulate Miss Philippines to her title Miss Universe!
Some messages came across we were not too happy to hear about. Some people blamed us for the comment Miss Universe Germany, Sara-Lorraine Riek, has given. We just want to make clear that THIS STATEMENT does NOT REFLECT OUR POINT OF VIEW - not of the event and of course not of the beautiful winner Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.
We are actually crowning Miss Germany only based and organized here in Germany. We are not sending germany´s delegate to Miss Universe pageant...Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach is actually half German whereon we are really happy about and proud of... CONGRATULATIONS, PIA!

Read 'em and weep, Steve -- oh, and here's a consolation prize: your screwup stopped Colombia from winning Miss Universe two years in a row. And may I suggest that the Miss Germany Corporation replace Ms. Reik with HER first runner-up?
