Ok, so I get it. And to be honest I have nothing against your views. The fake accent is a pet peeve of mine too. Speaking properly to alot folks= the "Corn-vunt axe-unt".

And to be honest most of these folks live in the same area you mentioned your family lives. However, I`ve never met Gabby (and I don`t think you have either, maybe I`m wrong) so I dont know if that was an act or not...so I`m not going there.

I admit I didnt like her actions, she tried abit too hard for my liking. Moving on though- with regards to the implants which you hate so much (yes...ok wonderful maybe you are au natural, no to implants, no to makeup, no to weave, no to relaxer...etc) Hey I respect that also. But the point is it comes down to choice. So if she WANTED to get her boobs done, who are you to judge her? She isn`t the first and she damn sure wont be the last.

And I guess finally I just want to know- since you have a major problem with her why do you come here then? Wont it annoy you even more to see said implants plastered all over the forum? Why waste your time?

...anyone can come on the internet and claim to be from T&T or Mars for all I care. It does not matter. No real Trinbagonian would come on here and just have 100% of negativity towards Gabby, or any T&T rep for that matter. I already have an idea of who is this "not impressed" person and in my nearly 30 years on this planet I have never seen a Trini spell dialect that way. To be bashing incessantly, is ridiculous. Yes she is short but still made it to the semis of BB and Top Model when alot of ladies failed to (shouldn't it be something to be happy about). The fake boobs-wait a minute let's talk about all the fake boobs that for decades the Lain and european ladies have had not to mention the liposuction and rib removal-this is the same beauty that Trinis like to go "GA GA" for but let one Trini lady do something that she thinks could advance her further in the competition and everyone has to pong. And for everyone saying Gabby is pushing up the breast-in most pics she is not. Her frame is very compact and tight unlike some of the latin ladies who I might add have bigger implants.

P.S. I am pretty sure my dialect is in tact because up to this year when I was in T&T people were like "you have no accent." I am sorry that you think speaking standard english is like a curse or something-trust me if Wendy spoke in dialect for the prelim interview she would have never made it to the top 10 of MU. Come on people, this is not a political meeting in T'dad where dialect could be appreciated. She is on a world stage and she has to adjust. My gosh people, I have been in the room with and given presentations to elite people (nobel prize winners, major US philanthropists, scientsists, etc) and even I was critiqued as needing to reduce the strength of the foreign accent. Gabby was in the US for a while-she wants to be an acctress-do you really noone told her to pay attention to her accent. Gosh people, fake accent my backsi#e! If she wanted to be fake she would sound American. Even my closest friends have told me I have a strong British accent when giving presentations.

...I was finally able to see the video-my question is "what fake accent?" I am happy to see that she was very animated in the video because this is meant to attract attention for the voting-even if you think she was "trying to hard" you will still remember her after seeing all the vids from the Caribbean delegates for that very same fact. Remember this is for the online voting public-I am glad to see that PE&A made her change up the professional, mature "vote for me" vids that our reps have done before- I always remember the vid of a certain other Caribbean delegate where she was literally hopping around in and extremely animated (fortunately she was able to stand to film hers and not confined to a chair like Gaaby) and I thought to myself-"give the public what it wants for these vids."
