Oprah Winfrey says Miss Philippines Shamcey Supsup deserved to win the Title of Miss Universe 2011

The host of the Miss Universe said Shamcey's answer in the Q&A portion blew her away and Oprah Winfrey have the same opinion:

Oprah Winfrey allegedly quoted via NBC News:

"I have reservations with the results. If the only basis is the Q and A portion, after having been trimmed down to 5, Ms. Philippines deserved to win. What made her different from the rest is that she had no seconds to rethink of her answer as she had no interpreter to break the ice. The rest had their interpreters and having breaks on seconds to think about their answers. Hands down, Ms. Philippines answered straight to the point."

Question:  "Would you change your religious beliefs to marry the person that you love? Why or why not?"

Answer: "If I had to change my religious beliefs, I would not marry the person that I love because the first person I love is God, who created me. I have my faith and my principles, and this is what makes me who I am. And if that person loves me, he should love my God, too."
