Subject: TNT Director disappointed Author: Pham [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:48:50 07/23/08 Wed Peter disappointed with Miss Universe judging By VERDEL BISHOP Miss Universe franchise holder, Peter Elias, has expressed disappointment over this year’s Miss Universe pageant judging in Vietnam. PETER SURPRISED: Peter Elias, Miss Universe franchise holder, says he is surprised by the outcome of the 2008 Miss Universe Pageant. Elias told Newsday he felt confident that this country’s representative, Anya Ayoung-Chee should have been among the top five finalists and described the judging process as subjective. “I wish Trinidad and Tobago could have seen Anya in Vietnam. After the pageant, Miss Venezeula and Miss Colombia also expressed their disappointment. They too, expected TT in the top five with them. They too, wanted to know what happened,” Elias said. Elias added that in his 15 years of involvement with the pageant, this is the first time he has written to the organisation to try to determine what went wrong, however, he is still waiting on a response. “I am disappointed because we gave our best; the entire team really worked hard. In our judgement and in the judgement and opinion of others while we were there, and based on the positive feedback, we felt confident that this country would have done well. “Anya is very intelligent, vibrant and amazing. She worked really hard and was very prepared. She deserved it and I had high expectations because of her performance,” Elias said. Elias said Ayoung-Chee will return to TT in a couple weeks, as she deserves a little time to breathe and to travel a bit. Pre-pageant favourites included Miss Trinidad and Tobago Miss Venezuela, Miss Mexico, Miss Puerto Rico and Miss South Africa. However, the big award of Miss Universe 2008 went to Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza – dubbed as the girl with modern beauty, dynamic and confident characteristics.

[> [> Subject: I agree. I think he was expecting too much. Just because he had done a great job with past Miss TNTs doesn't mean that he always expects his girls to be finalists. You don't heard Denis Davila (Canada/Nicaragua), Ines Ligron (Japan) or Magali Febles (Puerto Rico/Dom. Rep.) complaining about their non-placements in any year.

[> Subject: He should stop being a cry baby. She just was not good enough. What about that does he not understand. If he does not wish to be a part of the Miss Universe Organization, he can move on. I am sure they can replace him. ..... Author: carl (happy) [Edit] Date Posted: 17:23:39 07/23/08 Wed [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: He's wasting his energy. Miss Trinidad this year was realistically top 60. He should know this, and he should just be satisfied. Author: rico [Edit] Date Posted: 08:09:13 07/24/08 Thu [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Well Boo! Hoo! to him, what does he expect just because T& T places in the semi-finals nearly every year, then last year he can through a hussy fit and not show up to Miss Universe, then this year simply send a girl of Asian heritage and wham bam thank you T&T will automatically be in the semi-finals, “TAKE IT LIKE A MAN Peter”, what is done is done, Nobody Is guaranteed to hit the semi-final spot at Miss Universe every year, just for turning up except of course ( Cough!…Cough!! )……USA____LOL. That was just payback for not paying “The Donald” the US$20,000 T&T franchise fee last year because you did not attend. And why make your disappointment public it does not help your case.
