I like the new format – similar to international pageants where elimination takes place onthe night of the pageant. What purpose does Mr. André George serve on the judges panel? What is his background/area of expertise in this regard?
Dear Heavenly Father,
If my government had difficulty providing for 8 girls in the last there pageants, please tell me where is the money coming for 20. Mr Southwell talks a good talk and we know that he likes lavish productions like the one the call Vonkelt. But Lord this is ridiculous. Money for 20 costumes, swimsuits interview outfits evening gowns?…
Please send me an answer Lord. Amen.
I dont think all 20 will be going through all the sections.. There will be an elimination process..
Aren’t the sponsors responible to provide costumes, swimwear etc. for the contestaņts?
Keep Trinidad and Tobago influence far away this time around plz.
