First and foremost I think MS Pierre is very well spoken, beautiful, goal oriented young woman. With her experience has to be one of the most prepared canidates that the Bahamas has had in a very long time, with that being said I think the committee needs to be aware of the air they have now placed amoung the average Bahamian. I thought it was very insulting to the other young ladies that participated for MS MAlcom to say on Tv that it's them as disgruntal contestants that are spreading the noise in the air about people having a problem with the Queen being a Bahamian and being able to trully represent what it means to be a Bahamian. Now I don't know those contestants so who knows if some are bitter but you can't blame the average Bahamian questioning her citizenship and loyalty to this country all on disgruntal contestants because that's just not true. Just came off Bahamas uncensored and it seems like this doesn't sit well with the average Bahamian.
Erica Anne O. Watkins-Laing Bianca......Pierre's Grand Parents came here - her mother was born here - left - grew up in the States - Pierre was born in the states - raised as an American - represented her country at all levels until she lost in the major pageant and t...hen became "Bahamian" I have a problem with that. But that's my personal feelings.....either you chose to be American - or Bahamian. Not one as far as it will take you and then the other when you fail at the first.
As for Obama - he's American - born there - grown there - chose there. If he went to Africa and decided to run for President of something - I would have the same problem as I do with Pierre.
Read what I said - I have no problem with the mixed heritage - I am mixed myself. I have a problem with the citizenship - SHE IS AN AMERICAN - BORN - RAISED AND REPRESENTED
Twotado Bahamas WHO BEEN TO PRIMARY SCHOOL WITH HER PLAYED JUMP ROPE AND HOP SCOTCH EAT SALTY AND BAGGY AND CUP FROM MISS ESSY THAT THE BAHAIMIANS OF TODAY PROBLEM THEY STAND FOR NOTHING SO THEY GETS NOTHING !!!!!!!!
Vanessa Small P.S If Ryan Pinder had to denounce his US Citizenship to run in this election then....ya'll know the next question...
Lisa Cartwright I never said she wasn't going to do well...I said how was she allowed to enter! And of course you would be for her Mr. Jacques! Are u two related in any way? Miss Bahamas...should be represented by a Bahamian!! That's all I am sayin...
The point is The average Bahamian the status issue doesn't sit well with them. There is nothing that can be done because the judges decision is final but it is very important to know, how their decision is preceived. They say statements like our pool of applicants is to small to place a rule that you have to live in the Bahamas for 6months. The more compromises you make the more people will ebgin to lose respect for what you do. and you might say who cares what do they know about pageants. but they remember when Miss Bahamas use to represent and be a symbol of what a true Bahamian woman was. Not with a group of ppl on commitee feel will get them a placement at an international pageant. That's all well in good but is that really all Miss Bahamas means to you, because that's not all she is to the average Bahamian. Like Anya said on tv that's my Miss Bahamas and i love and respect her, not I'm confuse is she really Bahamian? how if she has never lived here?. So just something to think about do you want a representative or do you want a placement both will be great but i don't think we should sacrifice one for the other
