"She definitely did better than Cindy. But overall, that series is not the best we’ve had."

@Amaze_M responded:

"She could've chosen a better role. Being a bully as Miss Universe is just distasteful. But I guess, whatever pays the bills..."

@thobjablessing replied:

"I know it's acting, but couldn't they give her better lines? These are not the words I want coming out of our Miss Universe. She's way too classy."

@MamaKaLatte shared:

"She did a good job, especially since it was her first acting gig. It felt real, like she is a real-life mean girl."
