The Resume

    (September 24, 1989- )
    Born in Stuttgart, Germany
    Full name is Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach
    Has also used Pia Romero as a stage name
    Filipino actress, TV Host, and model
    Crowned Miss Universe 2015 (December 20, 2015)
    Miss Universe Philippines of 2015 (crowned March 15, 2015)
    Crowning was overshadowed by Miss Universe host, Steve Harvey, accidentally announcing runner-up Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner, only to correct his mistake minutes later

Why she might be annoying:

    She prefers to style her hair in the characteristic 'bob.'
    She gave a coy reply when asked during a radio interview if she was having an affair with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.
    Controversy had erupted during the Miss Philippine 2014 contest when she responded to a judge's question/answer in Tagalog, which some asserted cost her the title.
    Her crowning was upstaged by a fool mistake by the show's host that went viral.
    She shot down Arianna Gutierrez's suggestion that the crown be 'shared' because of Harvey's mistake, saying that 'it would be difficult.'
    By the time she was actually crowned, the show's timeslot had ended and the credits abruptly closed on a shot of her face.
    Many who criticized Gutierrez's disappointment at the shock of the announcement pointed to Wurtzbach's graciousness at the news, but just as many pointed out that its easy to be so classy when hearing news that benefits yourself.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is a professionally trained chef.
    She is fluent in English and the Filipino languages Cebuano and Tagalog, and can speak basic German ('Enough to get myself a bratwurst').
    She admitted to being a 'closet gamer' whose favorite video games include Final Fantasy and Tekken. 
    Her parents were divorced when she was four.
    At various points in her life, she was the sole wage earner for her family, with income from her work as a child actress and model.
    She worked as a stylist, makeup artist and beauty writer for Philippine Daily Inquirer's 2bU section.
    It took her three times to win the right to represent the Philippines in the Miss Universe pageant.
    During the interview portion of the contest, she said she wanted to use her platform as Miss Universe to raise awareness of the fight against HIV-AIDS.
    She was subjected to cyberbullying after winning the title, with many zeroing in on her appearance compared to the taller and more full-figured Miss Colombia.
    The confused, bewildered, and then ecstatic, expression on her face after finding out that she was the real Miss Universe winner was priceless.
    She tried to comfort Gutierrez after the crowning but was pushed aside by the other contestants flocking around her.
