From what I read, here's what I think what happened:
>Namef@g starts pageant for Miss /co/ 2019
>The winner was to be chosen by voting somewhere
>/co/ gets bombarded by threads of their respective choices
>Normal threads get derailed
>On the day the winner is to be chosen the namef@g gets banned for some reason
>Somehow affects the votes
>Anons just decide to have the winner be decided by dubs
>Channel wins
I probably got a whole lot of stuff wrong but that's what I got from the post vote threads.

This is not just meme magic… this is Memus Ex Machina.
