Rachel Peters is just like the rest of us. After ending her Miss Universe journey in the Top 10, the Philippine bet enjoyed a pizza party with her family and friends. Check out her IG story:
She definitely deserves the downtime after months of training and weeks of intense competition in Los Angeles, where this year's pageant was held. She definitely did a fantastic job but, along with the other 90 candidates, she lost the title to South Africa's Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, with whom she shares the same last name.
While many were saddened that Rachel didn't get to bring home the crown, many Miss Universe fans still voiced out their love and support for her.
