This pageant appears quite fixed, I attended the pageant, and I believe there were other candidates that should have been up there. 2nd and 3rd place did amazing, but the crowded winner, was not deserving.
ReplyDeleteI agree.. Everyone is outraged and or sure this pageant won't get the support of the Indian Population next year
ReplyDeletethe crowned winner did not deserve that crown. I was there till the end, and to my disappointment, was not expecting that result...
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the above statements!
ReplyDeleteThis is a complete outrage ... I personally attended the pageant and from what I could see from the opening sequence, to the end, the contestant that is the "runner-up" should have taken it all! This is a disgrace and it is a shame that a young, beautiful and talented girl should have lost to the so called winner. The organizers should be ashamed of themselves for having a fixed pageant, we all know who the true winner is ... and this is Miss Popularity >>> THE RIGHTFUL OWNER OF THAT CROWN <<<.
Quite agree with all the comments above. I was there as well. Thought the second runner up should have taken it all. I was seated in the middle and could not even her the winner when she was playing the steel pan. This organization need to relook at the results. Very unfair!!!
ReplyDeleteI would like to know if the final tally was audited. The runners up should contest the results. THE WINNER DOES NOT DESERVE THAT CROWN.
ReplyDeleteI said in my post on another site regarding the Miss West Indian pageant 'That's great if this was a fair pageant. The last Miss West Indian pageant a drop dead gorgeous, highly intelligent, decent wonderful girl Sherina Khan was cheated. These girls would have no chance against her. This girl is sexy and beautiful in every way. We need to see fairness in these competitions for women representing their heritage and standing there proud and strong. I support any pageant that is fair, doesn't exploit a woman's body and has the right idea. Congratulations !'
ReplyDeleteIt disappointing if this was fixed as well.
One word "FIXED" The winner is not deserving of the crown. See did not do an outstanding job. The other 2 ladies did great. We know who the winner is - it's the first runner up. Shame on the organizers.
ReplyDeleteThe first runner up will always shine. Her talent was the best, the winner, you could not even hear her. What sort of competition is this if the judges don't even know how to judge. On another note, this was very disorganized. We had to sit and listen to the cv's of all the judges - who cares - they are a lot of educated, high profile, care giving people around - the crowd did not want to hear what they've done from birth. Make it short and sweet. The pageant should have started at 1pm - they did not start until after 2pm. Too long. The Miss Univerise pageant is not that long, come on people, get with the program and cut out the talking.
ReplyDeleteYou're all a disgrace for what you're saying about this pageant. You're BACKWARDS and missing the whole point of this pageant which is to empower our West Indian women and give them a platform to speak and inspire. There were 5 judges and all looked very happy with the outcome. They all said the right girl won so stop your crying and complaining. Sounds like it's only one person that is pissed and keep repeating themself here lol Go get a life! I went to both pageants and the winner deserved the crown! Her answer was way better than the other girl. The first runner was too cocky!!! Brains won over talent lol I went to the one this year and it was fantastic. Stay negative and good luck in life with that lmfao SHAME ON ALL OF YOU CRABS!!
