Supporters of Philippines’ Beatrice Luigi Gomez roared the loudest among the crowd of the Miss Universe 2021 pageant after the Filipina beauty made it to the top 16 finalists.
In the official clip released online on December 13, Gomez’s supporters were featured exuberantly cheering for her.
It could also be heard how their loud screams overpowered the audience at the venue in Eilat, Israel.
Host Steve Harvey noticed this and was clearly stunned.
He later quipped: “We’re supposed to be in Israel. We’re in Israel. This is Israel. Hey! This is Israel.”
It was only then he turned to Gomez and congratulated her.
“Congratulations!” Harvey told her.
