She was looked as a dark horse during the Miss Venezuela 2005 pageant and wasn't looked as a winner. Despite this, Spear went on to win the national crown and represent Venezuela at Miss Universe 2005. She successfully made the top 15 after Miss Venezuela 2004 failed to make the top 15 in Miss Universe 2004 in Quito, Ecuador. She went on to place in the top 5 after the evening gown and swimsuit competition. During the interview or Final Question round, Spear failed to answer the question purposed by Miss Mexico, Laura Elizondo and therefore was named 4th runner up. Many pageant fans had stated that Spear can go on to place higher if she had answered the question. Similar cases like Spear were Miss Missouri USA, Larissa Meek who also placed as 4th runner up in the Miss USA 2001 pageant after failing to answer a question. The two cases show the importance of the interview or final question round, which can break or win a delegate's chances.
