I love Deborah (especially her nice personality) BUT to be honest Miss Spain Teresa Sanchez should have won. I remember to this day when there was a picture in my local newspaper of Yvonne Ryding crowning Deborah stating "Yvonne Ryding looks from her back much more beautiful than her successor. The new MU looks like 13 in a dozen".
Those Miss Universe Pageant were just well organized and glamour and elegance!!! Pure beautiful women. These days everything is low and badly organized.
Puerto Rico, Spain and Zaire were my favorites. I loved Deborah Carthy-Deu. There was something about her smile. Although Spain was stunning, I think the judges made the right decision.
Spain was acting like a giddy little girl while Zaire looked like a teen contestant. They picked Deborah in the end because she exuded a poise and maturity over the other four finalists.
Miss Puerto rico no debio llegar al top 5 , miss canada y miss chile eran bellísimas y con mucha clase , debieron ser top 5 y quitaria a puerto rico y Uruguay 😊
Puerto Rico won in a fair way. But she didn´t blow the rest of the contestants. If Spain would have worn a better evening gown she could have won the title.
The sarcasm at interviewing Miss Zaire was uncalled for... you can easily see how she was treated compared to other contestants in the 1st interview. Appalling!
You missed the boat entirely. Barker was actually poking fun at himself, due to Miss Zaire being very well spoken (in French). I detect a bit of racism in your comment, but no racism was effected by Barker. Everyone enjoyed her interview, including the judges who gave her a very high score. Back then, in 1985, the race card wasn't being thrown up constantly the way it is now.
What's appalling is that you completely missed that it was merely jest and a bit of fun. All these ladiea had spent time with the host in the previous week and were friendly with each other.
I'm sorry but Deborah didn't deserve the win & I liked her but Zaire was stunning and the standout of all the girls & should've been the 2nd black winner of the pageant
It's a good thing that what you say...isn't written Deborah deserved it And if you see something... she was the BEST and safest on the night of the contest... 
. Miss Chile muy bella fue sexta y casi queda quinta en traje de baño, el traje de noche la bajo al final quedó séptima Le faltó manejar el ingles Hubiera sido perfectamente top 3 con España y Zaire
Miss Puerto Rico didn’t deserve it at all. No beauty, no charisma… Spain was much better and she had the highest score of the Top5. The newspapers at that time criticized the decision as well. Terrible. Miss Norway deserved the Top 5 and did not get there.
If you replay the moments just before the crowning and after, then look at some of the contestants in the background, and then look at their reactions afterwords - its more than apparent that they were hoping for Miss Spain. Many of them were not only shocked, but their clapping was very slow and almost as if they had to clap. It was a horrible decision, and many of the contestants knew it was a horrible decision
viéndolo bien la corona hubiera quedado bien en zaire ya desde hay se veía el favoritismo a los mismos países que sin ser las más bellas siempre ganaban siempre fue un negocio miss universo
Yo no entiendo cómo ganó Puerto Rico si quedó quinta en la entrevista personal y la mayoría aquí dice que lo que le hizo ganar a Deborah fue su personalidad y estilo. En traje de baño la puertorriqueña se ubica en la cuarta posición. Sin embargo, Deborah se ubica primera en traje de noche. La más hermosa no era, no tenía la mejor personalidad, y tampoco tenía el mejor cuerpo. Lo que la favoreció para ganar fue el horrible vestido de Miss España, el habet obtenido el más alto puntaje en traje de noche y el haber respondido mejor en la pregunta final. Entonces no digan que ganó por tener la mejor personalidad. Y la más bella tampoco era. Ganó porque esa fue su noche y la suerte la favoreció. Bueno por ella. Felicitaciones Miss Puerto Rico.
Por este triunfo, tan mala decision empezó el declive del concurso Miss Universo. Cada año fue bajando en calidad, belleza de chicas, desinteres del publico y sobretodo desacredito.
siempre se dijo que la ganadora no merecía la corona pero era la mejorcita del grupo y inteligente pues la española tenía unos ojos raros como apagados la venezolana de las más regulares de todos los tiempos en ese top falto colombia quien de verdad si era bella en general de las 10 las 2 que merecían la corona Uruguay o brasil de resto se veían como señoras irlanda no se que hacía hay y ivon la mu saliente Serbia ya una señora muy mayor y un vestido de reina de castillo la verdad que desmejoro en un año
People who complain that Spain should have won are ignoring the Evening Gown competition and the Final Interview. Spain's dress was a DISASTER. It showed a complete lack of taste. And her answer to the final question was a non-answer--no substance at all. The judges would have been negligent to give Spain the crown at this point.
Deborah, like Dayanara 8 years later, was slow and steady during the competition, and made the judges noticed her when it counted. The fact that Spain, the front runner, ended up 6th place in the evening gown competition showed that the opinions of the judges had started to change. Her immature behavior and her answer to the final question opened the door for Deborah to get some judges to vote for her. I wouldn't be surprised if Spain actually got the most #1 votes but several ranked her lower like 3rd or 4th while but Deborah got enough #2s to edge her out with a lower cumulative ranking.
I watched this in 1985 and can't wait to put it on tonight and relive the memory. Thanks.

The only one who answered the question correctly was Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Definitivamente amigo
Those Miss Universe Pageant were just well organized and glamour and elegance!!! Pure beautiful women. These days everything is low and badly organized.
Back when Miss Universe pageant was worth watching. Now it's a circus.
At least it's still better than Miss World
I really like Zaire, after Spain. They were beautiful!!!!
same. i wonder why PR won instead

Gorgeous PUERTO RICO!!!!!
👑🇵🇷 Beautiful classy Deborah caty deu
Glamorous and Stylish PUERTO RICO!!🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
That dress put Miss Puerto Rico right on the top 5
Completely agree. A classy and elegant dress
Te recordamos y te amamos siempre Deborah por llevar nuestra bandera muy en alto,VIVA PUERTO RICO!!!!!!
Miss Puerto Rico was a standout since the beginning of the show. She was on the center of the stage in the opening dance.
Miss Puerto Rico, intelligent and secure of herself 💐
I cannot imagine if the contestants today in their massive national costumes could sing and dance like that.
Miss Puerto rico no debio llegar al top 5 , miss canada y miss chile eran bellísimas y con mucha clase , debieron ser top 5 y quitaria a puerto rico y Uruguay 😊
There were far better beauties than the winner. One of the worst decisions ever. To mention a few Brazil, Canada, Israel, Norway, Zaire and the USA.
Totalmente de acuerdo.
Our beautiful MISS UNIVERSE 1985
Miss PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷
DEBORAH CARTHY DEU
😍👑🇵🇷🎉
The best 👑
Puerto Rico won in a fair way. But she didn´t blow the rest of the contestants. If Spain would have worn a better evening gown she could have won the title.
Definitely...bad gown for Spain cost her the title..
..
Deborah is my favorite Miss Universe, not only because I'm also Puerto Rican but because she reminds me of my mom ❤
Omg john denver
La miss Colombia siempre tan querida.. Que ovación cuando la enseñan en el video de traje de baño!
Miss Spain was the best. How did Puerto Rico win?? How???
Because the judge's vote for puerto Rico I wondering why
Spain- bad gown. PR- great in gown.

A pesar de ellos quedo 3o lugar
Puerto Rico 🫶🏻❤️
I'm sorry but Deborah didn't deserve the win & I liked her but Zaire was stunning and the standout of all the girls & should've been the 2nd black winner of the pageant
Spain is the most beautiful upon the Top 5 Finalist she should have won.
I liked Spain, also Miss Uruguay. I was so surprised when Puerto Rico won.
Totalmente de acuerdo
It's a good thing that what you say...isn't written Deborah deserved it And if you see something... she was the BEST and safest on the night of the contest...

@@paolosantiago3163Spain there is confuse and stranger....and her gown is ugly lol
. Miss Chile muy bella fue sexta y casi queda quinta en traje de baño, el traje de noche la bajo al final quedó séptima
Le faltó manejar el ingles
Hubiera sido perfectamente top 3 con España y Zaire
Era sem dúvidas Espanha
Ah brasileiro....passa vergonha nao..
A melhor do concurso foi PR ...

Perdedor inconformado 😂
The one from Puerto Rico was the most charismatic from them all
@@isacf2598 Perdón, pero no se dice "inconformado" sino "inconforme." Gracias.
Miss Norway should have been in top 10.
Muy linda y tierna
Emocionante el opening. Rostros.
Ella no merecía haber ganado no se que paso
Ni lo sabras NUNCA !
Zaire and Spain were my top 2 , spain giving the better answer
Where??? Obvious answer 😂😂😂😂

Some of the girls was laughing of miss Spain because miss Spain think she was the winner
For me, Miss Spain is should be the Miss Universe of 1985
Se sabe que fue un triunfo arreglado
Colombia was clearly robbed! As Spain & Holland also, too. Uruguay reminded me of Goldie Hawn. Venezuela, Chile, Brazil I was shocked by.
1 Spain, 2 Zaire, 3 Uruguay, 4 PR, 5 Venezuela
Teresa sanchez miss España perdio mucho puntos con ese vestido horrible . Pero ella era la ganadora esa noche
La verdad que la uruguaya estuvo muy bien y era muy bella, pero la respuesta final la mato.
Porque este hombre dejo de conducir el mis universo?. Era excelente. Los demás no me gustaron para nada después de el.
viéndolo bien la corona hubiera quedado bien en zaire ya desde hay se veía el favoritismo a los mismos países que sin ser las más bellas siempre ganaban siempre fue un negocio miss universo
Pra perdedores...a desculpa é essa
La de Zaire bonita pero estaba perdida en el espacio
07:25 Okay Hair 😍💗🇵🇷
Esa miss universo ...pues bonita si, Pero nada que ver para haber ganado. Es solo una chica bonita.
Venceu porque foi a melhor

Miss Venezuela bellísima debió ganar
Con su peinado de " me exploto el calentador del agua "
Spain or Brazil the best
PORQUE NO GANO ZAIRE?
Yo quiero que las hijas de mis hermanas sean Miss Universo paz bendiciones
Por este triunfo, tan mala decision empezó el declive del concurso Miss Universo. Cada año fue bajando en calidad, belleza de chicas, desinteres del publico y sobretodo desacredito.
A mais bela desse ano sem dúvidas era a Miss Brasil.
siempre se dijo que la ganadora no merecía la corona pero era la mejorcita del grupo y inteligente pues la española tenía unos ojos raros como apagados la venezolana de las más regulares de todos los tiempos en ese top falto colombia quien de verdad si era bella en general de las 10 las 2 que merecían la corona Uruguay o brasil de resto se veían como señoras irlanda no se que hacía hay y ivon la mu saliente Serbia ya una señora muy mayor y un vestido de reina de castillo la verdad que desmejoro en un año
🇵🇷👑👑
Another case of stage presence over physical beauty that prevailed.
Miss Spain should have won the crown!
Never lol
Que gente mas ridícula, los fanáticos de estos concursillos ...se piensan que se van a comer el mundo y hasta el Universo.
Cómo iba a ganar España si la respuesta fue X

El vestido de puerco rico horrible
Back then when they should have named this Ms. Latinas and Americas Pageant 🙄
Y Zaire? Irlanda? España?
Inspite of their young age they all look older.
Miss España tampoco era la mejor, nada bonita de cara. Parecia señora madura
La vi como una señora come chorizo.
Para mi la corona era para Zaire o Uruguay
Pero que no
La de Uruguay era bonita pero no muy inteligente
Estoy de acuerdo
Canadá era muy bella y Uruguay Zaire tercera merecía más España debió ganar todas menos la Colombiana era la más fea
Las respuestas de España, Uruguay y Zaire muy flojas. El traje de la de España feísimo
