In reply to: Pgwhizz 's message, "T&T needs to get serious...what I believe...i'm no pro!" on Sunday, July 13, 09:17:02pm

The calls for us to dump the MT&TU franchise is nonsense. The exposure for our country from a placement at the event is one of the best advertisment blitz I have every seen from T&T-trust me when I say that TIDCO supporting the MT&TU/W reps is the only real effort I have seen in my 7 years in the USA by the T&T government to advertise our country internationally.

That being said, Anya's prelim performance was good-not great. The only way she could have definitely made top 15 was by being top 9 in the prelims. I am pretty sure India got screwed just like Anya did.

Anyone look at the ridiculous scores-how the hell can the SS scores go from about 7.01 to 9.4 -this just shows how ridiculous it is to let Mr.Trump choose 5 or 6 semifinalists. Additionally, why bias the judging panel-we all know Mexico should have placed higher based on SS, EG and Q&A performance- but hey all you need is one judge giving really low scores (anyone notice they don't toss out any scores like in the past) and you have the winner you want while the oh so fragile public thinks the composite score on their screen means transparency from MUO. What a joke!

So as we have seen-we don't need a girl who is the smartest- nor someone who really cares about children-only someone who photographs well with them and is beautiful.

If you'll have such a cynical view about the MU pageant why should we continue competing then? It makes no sense to complain about Trump and the fact that he may choose 5 or 6 delegates of his liking, all the while continuing to send our reps only to get shot down in the end.

...we can no longer send top 15 material-we need to send ladies who can make top 9 or top 5 ideally in the prelims for us to safely be in the final 15. The two biggest pageants in the world have their negatives and positive but once there is at least 8-10 places based on merit available for the semis then T&T has a chance. Additionally for the amount of money spent to send a lady to these pageants, a placement in the semis/finals gives much more exposure to brand Trinidad and Tobago than what the T&T government could ever afford.

People let's move on and start supporting Gabby!
