Subject Author Date Miss World Bahamas Someone Who knows Monday, July 04, 09:43:21pm Angola is without a doubt the best Black girl & she has been the favourite to win Miss Universe. Hopefully she will not be the only Black girl to place. (NT) Observer Monday, July 04, 11:17:57pm THATS BY LOOKS!...Yal need to realize LOOKS ALONE wont carry you no where FAR. No Offense to the Braneka faithfuls but she was counted as last year BEST BLACK CONTESTANT but her personality was a factor. Ghana has personality and beauty and so does Bahamas. -- Truth, Tuesday, July 05, 07:31:02am Donald Trump could not care less about persoanlity he cares about looks & body. They don't even Interview the Top 15. I am sure the do in the Preliminaries but it's not like in the olden days when Personality & charm was a bigger thing. (NT) -- Observer, Tuesday, July 05, 08:37:11am When I stated personality I meant a UNIQUE AND INTERESTING QUALITY which makes a person stand out! Trump dont care about Interviews which is true but he wants somebody who has PERSONALITY. Girls sitting next to the walls playing cute wont SUCCEED but pretty girls who has the AGGRESSIVE quality tend to do way better. Miss PR Universe 2010, Yendi Phillips and Venus Raj worked INSIDE OUT to place so high last year. There can easily be 25 OUTSTANDING beauties in Miss Universe but what can you do to DIFFERENTIATE YOU FROM THE REST? Answer: Personality! Whether you use personality to bring out your skills on the run way, whether its thru interviews etc. -- Truth, Tuesday, July 05, 12:27:21pm Lots of girls worked it & were unique, They also stood out Including our own Braneka Basset although some may not agree but in the end the sad unfortunate reality is that there can only be 15 semi-finalists. (NT) -- Observer, Tuesday, July 05, 02:08:19pm Your right, I'm just hope we finally get one of those spots for once. (NT) -- !!, Tuesday, July 05, 04:28:47pm We are forgetting the main thing about pageants. They are a COMPETITION! Anybody could be unique but the goal is to be MEMORABLE! I'm so sorry but Braneka faded at Miss Universe simply because she wasnt ready! Down to this very day people are talking about La Toya Woods of Trinidad, now her case is different. She had THE SPARK and didnt place, Im so sorry I cant say the same for Braneka at Miss Universe. I can say Braneka did extremely well at MISS WORLD THOUGH! We cut ourselves too SHORT... PLACEMENT? No we need to focus on that CROWN! (NT) -- Truth, Tuesday, July 05, 05:14:14pm I disagree 100 per cent Braneka was very memorable & in the begining Global Beauties had her no 4 on there favourites list. No Miss Bahamas has every done that before. International observers & fans loved Braneka. She definatly did not fade. She sparkled all the way & made her mark. (NT) -- Observer, Tuesday, July 05, 07:14:26pm Well its harder to see things when you favor something so bad. Regardless Braneka did an outstanding job but pre-predictions or a few days after the real contest starts GOES SOLELY ON LOOKS. The main thing Looks can carry you somewhere but if you dont bring what the organization is offering then you will fade. Braneka is a Miss World type of girl! (NT) -- Truth, Tuesday, July 05, 08:54:06pm I don't know were you get this Idea Braneka faded beacuse belive you me from start to finnish her presence was noted. She set the trend for future Queens at both Miss Universe & Miss World. (NT) -- Observer, Tuesday, July 05, 10:53:37pm If you read Global Beauties most beautiful Miss Universe winners section they are currently at #15. Our Miss Bahamas Queens have been setting the trends & being noticed since way back in 60's & 70's. In 1963 it nots that Miss Bahamas Sandra Louise Young was a favourite & expected to make the semi-finals. In 1972 its says Miss Bahamas Deborah Taylor was a favourite & expected to made the semi-finals. At the end of the day there can only be 15 semi-finalists & its all up to the Judges & the MU org. So stop this foolishness about a Queens not pushing herself enough saying she faded. No wonder our Queens don't do well. We need to support our Queens & encourage them. Braneka was an outstanding Miss Bahamas & helped pave the way for future Queens. (NT) -- Observer, Wednesday, July 06, 08:16:00am Cant take CRITICISM I see... Every person from every country would think that there delegates are deserving BLA BLA RAY RAY. Braneka did an outstanding job but WAS RUSHED. YOU KNOW IT, I KNOW IT EVERYBODY DOES! When yal learn to listen and take in NOTES then maybe yal would do BETTER. Look at Anastagia for example, Anastagia in 2008 is no COMPARISON to anastagia 2010-011. Braneka is the best looking Miss Bahamas has ever had in DECADES but the problem was she was RUSHED and FADED. I see people on boards talking about LATOYA shouldve placing, or Ingrid Rivera fading at Miss Universe in 2008 or down to Miss USA 2009 when a few people thought Anastagia shouldve place. -- Truth, Wednesday, July 06, 09:20:25am Rushed & faded I don't think so. Personaly I think Braneka is way better looking than Anastagia. Not to say that Anastagia is not pretty. Thats just my opinion. (NT) -- Observer, Wednesday, July 06, 03:37:37pm I hundred percent agree with you Braneka is way better looking than Anastagia. BUT ANASTAGIA has THE SPARK with personality! -- Pageant Enthusiast, Wednesday, July 06, 10:45:28pm Miss World -- one who know, Wednesday, July 06, 07:14:27pm A friend told me Anastagia is posting on Facebook asking for suggestions on her Evening Gown & National Costume for Miss Universe. Now I know yall are going to me I am an Anastagia hater but I am nit. But should the Queen have this much control over her wardrobe. I thought MBO had hired professionals like Grace?, Now Costume well that's a little different but again the Committee should assist in that choice. Last year they had a contest & the winning design a Flamingo was chosen. I think that's what killed Miss Bahamas Universe 2008 Sasha Scott she had to much control over her MU wardrobe & her costume was the worst in history. (NT) -- Observer, Wednesday, July 06, 07:38:01pm Anastagia is no SASHA lol...BUt I understand where you coming from. I think your RIGHT but let the queen decide what STYLE/COLOR etc they want to wear and make MBO have the final say. -- Pageant Enthusiast, Thursday, July 07, 12:50:37pm
