Angela Ponce, representing Spain, becomes the first transgender woman to compete in the Miss Universe pageant in Bangkok. While Ponce views her participation as a move toward ending disinformation, skeptics predict she may reach the top five for interview purposes but will likely not win the title.

Angela Ponce won the Miss Universe Spain title, becoming the first transgender woman to compete in the international pageant. The hosts recall their previous predictions that such a milestone would occur. The discussion briefly touches on the changing standards of international beauty competitions.

The hosts make lighthearted predictions for the Miss Universe pageant, suggesting Miss Russia or Miss Spain might win due to geopolitical factors. They also discuss a new law in Paris that bans excessively thin fashion models, requiring them to provide medical certificates proving a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) to work.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak discuss the Miss Universe 2013 pageant held in Moscow, Russia. Dvorak notes that Donald Trump was in the front row and that Miss Venezuela, Gabriela Isler, won the competition over Miss Spain. The hosts tease a deeper analysis of the event's production and political undertones later in the broadcast.

The hosts review the "insane" questions asked during the Miss Universe finals, which touched on women's rights in Saudi Arabia and global youth unemployment. They highlight Miss Spain's convoluted answer regarding electing women to political office, which emphasized "discipline" and "good qualities." Dvorak argues that the audience is oblivious to the absurdity of asking political questions to women in bikinis.
