Well I cannot tell a lie, I was hoping someone would have Ashanna Arthur's name in their top 15. Well it might be a disaster waiting to happen.No one has yet to see what we found so breathtaking about out rep. (So sad!!!) I go online 'hungrily' hoping to see some thing exciting about our rep. Ok! so she was in the Top 12 for Miss sports. So what are u saying we can only run, but not look good. Please don't answer that. I might just give up on Miss World for this year. Hopeless! Hopeless case! Good Luck Ashanna! Looks like we will need it. It's a hard fight to the finish line. I'm almost at my wit's end!!!

Although many people may not realize it, beauty queens are representatives of a BRAND- the country is the company/ corporate brand) and the delegates we send are part of a brand line. There must be consistency, and when Elias took over, there was a consistently high calibre of girls being sent, with the exception of a few, that we all knew needed divine intervention to get passed the face. So T&T had attained a certain recognition for the quality of its brand of beauty. Not meaning to reduce our delegates to that of commodities or merchandise, the analogy is nonetheless befitting. The companies that have the best performing brands usually invest heavily in the quality of the 'offering' meaning, they invest heavily in research and development, creating the best product, the best packaging, the total picture...what it takes to stand out among the rest! And they become winners by relentlessly pursuing excellence. We still have a long way to go.

The Government needs an answer to this question: What benefit can beauty pageants bring to T&T. Well let me answer, because any person with even the minutest amount of business acumen will be able to see the link. For a country as small as T&T, that often fails to make the world map,increasing brand awareness is the first step. If people don't know T&T exist, how can they want to come for holidays re:Tourism, how can they want to do trade? how can they get a broader picture of what T&T is about other than the black lists and advisories warning people not to come.

Feel free to continue the dialogue

Anyone could of seen from the start that Ashanna Arthur was a big waste of time and money. One would think that the new franchise holder would of learned something from Peter Elias's time. The new franchise holder does not seem to understand what Miss World is looking for. Firstly, does Ashanna Arthur have any kind of charity work she has done or is doing?. What is her beauty with a purpose project?.

I would understand if Ashanna Arthur had the beauty and intelligence and not depending totally on a beauty with a purpose project. But, she does not have the beauty and any other girl at Miss World can match her on intelligence.

It is really very disappointing after having such a great run at Miss World under the leadership of Peter Elias. To have this new franchise holder take over and ruin it.

What the new franchise needs to do is totally change the way they select the girls. It all starts at the screening.

Not because a girl has a masters degree means she is a beauty queen. You need to find a girl who has the beauty and who can articulate herself. A girl can win with just being beautiful and able to carry an intelligent conversation. Than a girl who is just intelligent but dont have the beauty.

I do not see Ashanna Arthur doing good at Miss World. It will be a miracle if she enters the semi-finals. It will be interesting to see what the new franchise holder does after Miss World. Would he admit that they made a mistake?. I doubt it. But I do hope that next year we do not have a repeat of this same mistake.

I would sum this up as a learning experience for this Franchise holder. I really do not think he is totally responsible for this disaster.It started with the selection process,they are the ones that selected this girl I am sure their were much better looking girls that got cut.Although time was limited either of the other girls would've done a better job representing T&T.so lastly I blame those judges.
