it's because of the stuff they did different, like they always cut to commercials when a new girl is crowned but this time they wouldn't cut. Or how the runner up is meant to go backstage for a moment, or how long it took to get it fixed, how long it took for Steve to realize. an event this big is very very calculated. a mistake like this would have been fixed in seconds, not lingered for minutes like it did.
and she was saying that even the way it was recorded, the cameras should have cut to commercial if it was a real mistake because she said when she was in the contest there was something that went wrong but people at home that year never found out (something small went wrong) they automatically cut if there is something that needs fixing.
so when you have thecameras keep rolling and you have Steve mumbling for minutes, and no one is going on stage to tell the girl she is not the winner, all that is extremely suspicious
