OK, we all know about the term fashionably late and have been victims of it from 19 o long'. We're also familiar with Jamaican timing "The Event Will Start At 7pm", translation "We Will Actually Start at 8:30pm". Could be for a number of reasons, you know setting a time earlier than scheduled so that everybody will be there when the show starts. Maybe that was the intention of the MJU organizers, giving that 8pm, 9pm, 10pm and 11pm according to patrons only a hand full of persons were present, but with a price range of $3500 to $5000 to see a group of women who have not been getting a lot of ratings, i can understand why, but those seats were filled Eventually. And then the show started...3hours and 22 minutes later...
But the late start wasnt the only complaint of the attendees. It seemed that the $3500 and $5000 ticket purchase gave you an all inclusive experience, giving you the chance to see all that is done to pull off a show of this caliber.
First you have the organizers discussing what to do
Then you get to see the set up.
And there was no backdrop. Delightful.
The show started at 11:22 and if the 3 hour wait wasn't enough, the patrons nerves were then fondled again as 38 minutes later there was an intermission.
There were rumours of people demanding a refund and some walking out. Surprisingly no one called for justice, or did they?
There was suspicion of headliner Ludacris not attending but he was then spotted at Wyndham Hotel at 12am, fashionably late?
The Contestants were gorgeous, dresses? Stunning, bodies? some weren't to fit. One of them was asked about 3 things they want for Jamaica, she mentioned World Peace, lets give her the benefit of the doubt, it was 2 in the morning, she must have been tired. My favorite Chantal Zaky messed up on her question about dual citizenship and that cost her the crown placing her at 2nd runner up.
Kaydan Salmon was 1st runner up and Shakeria Martin was crowned!
Yendi did Jamaica Proud at Miss Universe last year, i Hope Shakeria does the same. CONGRATS!

Shakira was asked to describe three things she loves about Jamaica and her answer was awesome! She said world peace at the end as a joke, but her answer was already complete. She's def a crowd pleaser
I like her. I think she was the safest pick from the bunch. She'll do well.
