I’ll be honest, this might be the fairest time a host country won. Brooke’s answer was AHEAD of her time

And it wasn't even just Brooke Lee's answer, it was her attentiveness to the question, her look at the audience, her sparkle in her eyes, the delivery, it was all so natural and then there was her answer! She rocked!!!

Miss USA delivered one of the most relatable answers in history! Her answer was on point, hilarious, spontaneous!!!! She beautifully dealt with the question!!!

Brook’s answer was the best way to conclude the whole drama about weight of a Miss Universe.

Back in the day when questions were so casual so simple

Brook probably has the best answer in MU history! Because it’s food! 😂😂😂😂

brook lee has the most famous hilarious and most relatable answer

I like how genuine Brook Lee is, and she's so humble, helping Trinidad-Tobago's evening gown inside the cage.

How USA assisted Trinidad & Tobago, held her hand, guided her in the booth, and fixed her gown....that says a lot about her. She is authentic and a kind spirit. This is actually a time when former Ms Universe Alicia Machado had weight issue and Trump wantes to fire her. Amazing how Brooke injected that kick in the topic

Brook Lee gave one of the most honest and sincere answer ever 😂😂😂

Brook Lee is one of my most favorite MU winners. My other favorites are Lara Dutta (India), Denise Quinones (Puerto Rico), and Catriona Gray (Philippines).

USA gave the most hilarious answer! I laugh at it twice!😅

1:45 Brook was so humble!

Brooke was a clear winner that year.. Even after she won Miss USA 1997 you already know that she will be a big treat for the crown.

Brook lee simply amazing, how she talk and so humble with other, look when she care to miss trinidad gown love her 💜

The great thing is even started when she listened to the question. The sparkle in her eyes is so precious and she exactly knew the answer at that moment. Very honest and relatable.

Damn! That answer from the US contestant gave her the crown. I mean, she didn't think it for a second, it was so sincere, not thought out, just pure gut honesty, and anyone can relate to that answer.

Look at how Brook’s eyes gleamed when she heard the word “outrageous.” 👀

i love when Brooke said "i would eat everything twice!" 😂 a very well deserved winner!

When Pia won, she reminded me so much about Brook Lee. Unconventionally beautiful, had facial features that weren't considered by most as pretty, in a blue gown, looks ethnically ambiguous and very spontaneous. They also were not afraid to speak their minds.

When Brook said “I would eat” , that’s where she WON.. literally… you can feel the vibes..

Miss Venezuela looks nervous af. She's so beautiful but her expressions made her looks so nervous. even when she was called as top3 she didn't showed like she's extremely happy i think she was bored lol. But i love her. Im just telling my opinion. Brook has the most hilarious but relatable answer in the history of MU. As a beauty queen they can't eat everything cuz they have to maintain their body in a specific way so she was honest. Also love Trinidad & Tobago. She so gorgeous too. *Have a great time & stay safe♥*

1997's pageant is very nostalgic to me. As a kid, we had it recorded on VHS, and it took place in my hometown of Miami, which is awesome. Lots of memories

Miss usa deserved the title! She was energetic and cordial (she even helped ms trinidad and tobago with the hem of her dress when they went to the booth)

Honestly, though I thought she was a lovely woman, I did not even have Brooke listed in my top 10. But after hearing the controversy over the previous winner's weight gain, and hearing Brooke's answers I said ¡BAM MISS UNIVERSE! The most intelligent Miss Universe ever!

I really like her answer,direct to the point and true to her self.

Sense of humor can literally multiply a person's beauty!!!

That answer was indeed OUTRAGEOUS. She deserved the win! ♥️

Miss USA won coz her answer was so relatable and not typical pageant answer.

Venezuela so beautiful but that answer was terrible.

U S A she is definitely the one to watch for that night She is intelligent but at the same time she is humble

Miss USA is so charming. She also seems a very warm person.

Love USA From Thailand🇹🇭

Besides Brook's answer, did ya'll see her attempting to help Miss T&T with her dress?!?! 🤩🤩 So humble amd beautiful!!! ❤

I think Trinidad’s answer was great, but she explained too much her answer. She didn’t need to explain the very obvious function of clothes. She could have been 1st runner up. But I gotta say, she’s very beautiful. Although not sure about the curtain she carried throughout the competition. Venezuela’s answer was not outrageous enough, and kinda boring. The question sought specifically an outrageous answer. (Also, Venezuela looked sleepy to me.) Now USA-no doubt gave the best, funniest, most outrageous answer: to eat everything in the world twice. She delivered her answer quite well with charming facial expressions and fun body gestures. USA truly deserved that crown. And she was so humble too. She even tried to help put in the dangling curtain gown of Trinidad inside the soundproof booth.

Her smile is so contagious ❤️✨

Still the best answer ever. And easily one of the best winners of all-time.

Here’s the scores for her according to her answers Crown USA 1st runner Venezuela 2nd runner Trinado Because I also love to eat everything twice 😂

Brooke was awesome!!! Her answer was personable, relatable and was real. I believe this was the year, when the previous winner Alicia Machado of Venezuela gained weight, so Brooke's answer about eating was on point!! Love Brooke Lee!! #BrookeLee

Brooke’s response was meant as a rebel response to the pressure the pageant was putting on Alicia because of her weight gain.

Marena is so classy. Brooke is so genuine, Margaux is so elegant ^^

Yey, brook lee! She really is authentic.

MU USA 1st runner up Trinidad & Tobago 2nd runner up Venezuela

OMG Brook Lee! Watched her answer on repeat!! So honest!

I love the answer of Miss USA so authentic and she has a sense of humor

I have watched this so many times. She is so adorable!

Brooke's answer is genuine, straight-forward and witty! Miss Universe indeed.. ❤

Ahh that classic 90’s music in the background ❤️ good ol times

My favorite Ms. Universe answer of all time from the beauty in and out Ms. Brooke!

USA IS VERY INTERESTING

Curacao & Italy should have been in the top 3! USA was confident, witty, charismatic & hilarious! I think T&T should have been 1st ru though.. but can’t deny Marena Bencomo of Venezuela’s beauty. She could have easily given Venezuela it’s first back-to-back if she had been more confident & more humorous with her answer.

Waaaoooo...que espontaneidad la de esta mujer..eso la hizo más bella aún.. así debe ser..una respuesta con chispa,natural ,para una mujer normal

Hai Mrs Lee love from Indonesia..TERIMA KASIH 😘😘😘

My favorite miss universe of all time.

Miss USA gave the best Top 3 answer in Miss Universe's history.

That was a slap on Trump's face after bullying the reigning MU Alicia Machado for gaining weight! Witty and clever answer by Brook.

The best part of brook final answer is her spontanious expression

Miss USA answered the Miss USA pageant before she joined Miss Universe is beyond brilliant.

MISS USA is so PRETTY

Miss Universe 💐 1997 and Miss World 💐 1997 facial features resembles and their smile too.

Brooke Really Deserved To Be Miss Universe !!!

The most iconic Miss USA and one and only Miss Hawaii that conquered Miss Universe ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Best answer ever! USA was amazing

USA has the best answer in the history of Miss Universe, period!

Y luego preguntan porque Brook le ganó a Venezuela desde mi punto de vista miss Usa se veía más segura y encantadora 😊😊😊

Omg the way miss Trinidad and tobago walks in, it's really elegant 3:25

MISS USA is funny, nice and very SWEET

Im a Filipino but for me Miss USA is ❤

I love this top 3… so diverse.

It's was one of the fairest Miss Universe of all time!!!!!

If Brooke lee would’ve not answered like this Trinidad & Tobago deserved to win.

Same colors as miss universes 2015 top 3✨

The best Miss Universe answer of all time. 😊😊😊

La mejor respuesta que se vio en el miss universo, no hay otra que ko sea de brook lee

And without skipping a beat… that Hawaiian gave the most memorable response in possibly this pageant’s history. IMUA!!!

Brook Lee gave superb answers from top 6 to top 3! this year was so exciting! I want to see 1994 though...

Legend ♥️🦋

Miss USA iconic answer!!!!

Venezuela's answer was too serious! It's like she's defending a law in congress or something

Ow pls! Im nervous!. Pls if 1994 turn, pls make it in 720p pls... pls. Pls.. im praying!😚😙🙏🙏🙏

i hope this concept of MU will be back.

20 years since then and my answer to the question hasn’t changed

Watcing her interview with heyadamg, her answer is a total political response. An icon!

Miss USA is LOVE.

Trinidad and Tobago is gorgeous 😍😍✨

Miss usa pretty and beautiful

Miss Universe USA Brooke Lee is extremely smart. I remember watching this on my TV years ago. Most intelligent way of answering the question.

WOW, Venezuela Same Dream Of Mine, Love to Travel Around The World and First To Israel( Where Our Lord Jesus Christ Walk).

I love 🇺🇸

Brooke Lee her answer is epic

When she said TWICE Me : deym I LOVE THIS GIRL 😍😍😍

miss usa answer... is amazing... very natural..

Love the way miss USA touch her Tummy 😂

Brook was sooo cute!

I love Brook’s face when she was told she could be outrages. Her answer was very real. The “twice” really punched it at the end. I have watched so many Pageants’s Q&A. Brook’s answer here is what I remember most.

Please do upload 1997 Miss Universe Opening Number ☺️☺️☺️

Humorous answer and true to herself

All these three did great job! But I love how free-spirited ms. USA is. One of the best batch in MU history my opinion.

Gutsy jud si miss usa amd miss universe, yehey..so bright!

Miss USA has such a beautiful smile.
