Subject: I agree with the speech Author: Evaluator [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Friday, October 17, 07:10:35am Author Host/IP: c-76-101-51-85.hsd1.fl.comcast.net/76.101.51.85 In reply to: smurfgyrl 's message, "no no no no" on Friday, October 17, 03:01:59am i agree with you smurgyrl, her speech is kind of annoying too. She really needs to change her tone of voice I think. In regards to her look. if she gets that body into shape, lose a few pounds. She can do good. But, like this. I dont see her representing T&T any time soon. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: June totally deserved her top 4 spot at 2008 edition of Mag7... Author: Trini77 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, October 18, 10:44:48am Author Host/IP: cpe-66-65-16-174.nyc.res.rr.com/66.65.16.174 ...but as I said before, we could do better. Even Cennette (I hope that's her name-the girl who I said had the Maggie vibe) is better, even though I agree that her face is her weak-point. For me, it is apparent that MT&TW/U09 will both be crowned next year so I hope we get someone with some pageant experience-the only available possibility is Makeda because since Sept. Valene disappeared off the radar so I assume she is at college. I know PE&A will have to over-hall her entire look and definitely add hair extensions and I am pretty sure the body and look will be on-point for MU (if she did become MU09) but Makeda's MAJOR PROBLEM at the 2008 edition of Mag 7 was that she was like a dear staring at the headlights in the black of night. She is very intelligent but has horrendous stage fright in my opinion when it comes to on-stage interviews. It is interesting that I had said she was another "Danielle Jones" when she was selected as a top 7 finalist-because as it turned out her failure to advance any further was hampered by her answer onstage (which was Dani's downfall at MU2004). I know alot of people view poor answer as a lack of intelligence but I think we can all agree that Danielle Jones had "plenty brains" and yet she gave the most assinine answer by a MT&T that I have yet to see paralleled on an international stage. If Dani had nailed it I thought she would have been MU or at the very least top 3. I guess the big question that will be answered next year is whether Peter Elias and Associates have already identified a strong contender already for MT&TU that no one knows about. Valene was the last invitee that we know about and she was phenomenal. I did not get the impression this time around that any of the 7 ladies who made the finals of MT&T08 had been encouraged/invited to screen by anyone on the MT&T committee. This is a very dangerous positionn to take in my opinion but then at the same time I have to admit that there has always been at least one very strong delegate at every MT&TU edition since 1995. 1995-Arlene & Michelle 1996-no pageant-Michelle from previous year rep. us. 1997-Margot 1998-the best slate of candidates for MT&TU/W up to that point ever-Wendy, both Miss Photogenics and the lady who placed 3rd overall. Wendy and the two Miss Photogenics were all top 10 MU material and that was the best delegate for East Indian descent to ever grace a MT&T stage. 1999-what a disaster in terms of beauty-a bunch of petty faces but no-one competitive enough-only Amanda Jardine was worthy but the 2 miss photogenics from 1998 were way better. 2000-Heidi (one of the most beautiful MT&Ts ever-if she was top 10 I am pretty sure she would have easily made top 5) 2001-Alexia 2002-Rhian Vialva-everyone else should have been sent home-what the heck were the judges thinking with that top 3? 2003-Faye, Maggie, Leah From 2004 to the present PE&A have gotten the winners more or less right in my opinion.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Danielle didnt deserve that spot, I think Author: smurfgyrl [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, October 18, 03:18:02pm Author Host/IP: EATcf-677p201.ppp15.odn.ne.jp/220.212.33.201 danielle jones in my view- even though im trini- did not deserve that spot. I just dont think she was strong, and there is no way even with the most amazing answer, would she have won. Margot, Heidi, Faye, Wendy, Arlene were the best of the best. Rhian, at that time, was not ready, because she was very shy, was lacking that strong confidence and her speech was abit poor. Cennette and June are just OK. Not standouts, im sure Peter will meet someone walking down the street who is stronger than both of them. There are so many models I see at Carnival time who can do well at MU/MW so hopefully he can scout a couple of them, dont worry. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Well... Author: Trini77 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sunday, October 19, 07:16:39am Author Host/IP: cpe-66-65-16-174.nyc.res.rr.com/66.65.16.174 ...we disagree on Dani. To be quite honest, 2004 was one of the very few times that I had USA as my fav for the title-only 2008 comes to my mind in for USA ladies worthy of the MU title since 1995. Anyways, rumors are already circulating that PR will be the 2010 MU host. Peter Elias and Associates are going to have to "come good" this time with a tall, stunning delegate who can give the judges what they want in the interview-really, from the last few years I don't think intelligence is important as it used to be in the 1990s.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: ok Author: Evaluator [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sunday, October 19, 08:14:09am Author Host/IP: c-76-101-51-85.hsd1.fl.comcast.net/76.101.51.85 I agree with Trini77, I think Dani deserved her spot and could of done better if she had a better answer to her question. I also liked USA that year and had her as one of my favorites to win. There was a rumor that croatia was going to host the pageant. I am very excitted to see who T&T is going to send.

Author: Trini77 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sunday, October 19, 12:46:37pm Author Host/IP: cpe-66-65-16-174.nyc.res.rr.com/66.65.16.174 ...I have only read about PR being a strong possiblity for 2010 and so people expect PR to place very high or win in 2009. Like yourself, I can't wait to see who are MT&TU09 and MT&TW09. I HOPE GABBY IS MISS WORLD 2008. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I thought you were talking about next year for Puerto Rico. I missed where you said 2010. If they are hosting in 2010 then they might do good at MU next year. Who is going to be MT&TU09!
