Subject: I don't deny that there is a bigger purpose for the trip to Nicaragua, but unless everyone knows that the top 5 were invited and told in advance, all the mass public sees is a few pictures posted on a message board and on the MUC website. I think the PR team at the MUC Organization needs to be more on their toes making to sure to explain images like that so that there is no speculation. Do you know what I mean? Otherwise, people (from the outside looking in) feel something shady or unfair is going on.. Its all about perceptions..

During MUC this past year, all contestants were notified (in a letter) that the top 5 would be going to Nicaragua on that trip. Sahar and Genita couldn't make it (due to work committments) so two other top 10 members (who were available to go) went in their place. Sadly, no matter who wins next year there will be claims of "fixing" - there will always be some "reason". When Natalie won, there were also claims of it being fixed, but that was forgotten after she won Miss Universe. And yes, those claims were made about Alice too. I understand people being skeptical, but instead of assuming negitave thoughts surrounding things like the Nicaragua trip, please look at the other possibilities too and the sincere purpose of that trip." on 12:20:05 07/02/08 Wed [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Isabelle, I am a past pageant contestant and because this world is so small, a friend of mine actually knew by chance one of Alice's sponsors and this sponsor leaked before her crowning they Alice was promised by the organization she would win. This sponsor was bragging about his "MUC" before she even won.. and he knew this information from Alice herself. There is alot more information that I know but I wont share.. The girls that are from the Toronto area know what this pageant is about and how Denis runs his pageant. I would never recommend any girl pay an entry fee to this pageant. (NT) Doesn't matter 23:31:15 07/02/08 Wed I always enjoy how all this so-called 'proof' of corruption in BOC is always second-hand sources and friends of friends. Ana Zotovic gave Alice a real run for her money in my opinion and it could have gone either way, but ultimately I think the right decision was made by the JUDGES based on Alice's MU performance. I wish bitter former contestants would stop griping about their defeats on this message forum, it's growing rather tiresome... (NT) Sigh... 00:49:21 07/03/08 Thu No. Alice was the winner from the beginning. She's was undeniably the most beautiful contestant and deserved her win, whether it was fixed or not. No one came close to Alice. In Natalie's year, many of us thought Gretel Montgomery was more beautiful and should have won. That was a competitive year and in retrospect it turned out right. Canada produced one of the most beautiful Miss Universes ever. In Leanne's year, I was surprised by her win, because she seemed to come out of nowhere. However, she was the most beautiful that year, and my very favorite Miss Canada ever. It all seemed to fall apart after Alice. If it was fixed, they forgot to choose beautiful.
