As well as your St. Davids Fan Club.

on a global stage you represented Bermuda well. I was proud to see you and you have inspired a whole generation of women to become active and live out there dreams, I read with interest the Feminist point of view, and quite clearly she has not seen how pagents have evolved. When watching the work that some of the contestants were doing in their respective home countries, was touching and the two countries that were highlighted on the show just showed what can be done when we use, feminine grace, money, a will to change, and a project and plan: what can be done.

This forum, (Bernews) always is hijacked by people with issues and agendas, and it is getting old and somewhat depressing.

I was one of those who were frustrated with cablevision, but the big picture is, this was a time to uplift Jena.

just so you know, in our small community, family, freinds co-workers read this, and we want this to be positive for her and her world. There is a forum to b!tch, about cablevsion and Femininst ideologies, but can we just have this proud moment please?

As you know we do not get many of them…… also if you can let me know of anytime in the last 10 years the word Bermuda was mentioned to over 1billion people at the same time, let me know!

that in and of itself is an accomplishment.

let us enjoy it.

It is obvious to me that certain people that comment on blogs such as this never really read the comments posted before their own. My previous post clearly indicates that opinions are fine, just not appropriate under this specific heading (WHICH IN FACT, WAS SIMPLY MY OPINION, ironic, don’t you think?!)

Not once did I indicate that speaking one’s mind is wrong or not unacceptable – I stated that I felt (opinion again) that the focus of this thread should be about the wonderful showing of Ms. Bermuda in Ms World – not about the issues with Cablevision. Additionally, I did not indicate that while watching the telecast, I did have problems with channel 55 – ALL CABLEVISION SUBCRIBERS DID. I, however, received information about another channel which proved to have a better signal – this was solely due to being deeply involved with watching the program. I made it a point that I was going to support Jana and I would watch the telecast WITHOUT FAIL.

In fact, I watched the 1st few minutes on my computer as there were issues with channel 55.

I say all that to simply indicate, IN MY OPINION, that this thread was about Ms Bermuda – her accomplishments, her success – not about the failure of Cablevision – the emphasis on the positive versus the negative – as per my previous,opinionated statement.

CLEARLY you are misinformed. Not only that, but it is obvious that you did not watch nor research the Miss World pageant. The title of the pageant is Miss World, Beauty with a Purpose and this factor is the most heavily rated aspect of the judging process. I understand you are a feminist but there are must more meaningful causes you can be protesting about, Miss World is not one of them and if you feel that Jana shouldn’t have participated then that is something you should keep to yourself. The fact is that she did participate and we as Bermudians need to support one another, especially when someone goes to represent our country in such a largely recognized event. Therefore, dear Feminist, I hope you will be more mindful about your comments in the future and to Jana CONGRATULATIONS you did an awesome job please keep up your hard work. We are proud of you!!

“AO, (shadank dank dank) AO…”

You made me so PROUD TO BE BERMUDIAN

All of your suggestions are sound. The concept of complaining about the service that a person pays for is all fine and dandy, but under a post about celebrating the accomplishments of Ms Bermuda, I believe, is inappropriate.

A pet peeve on mine in regards to how Bermudians can’t see the good in anything – we always look for the worst in everything. We are better than that and we know it.

Jana did an amazing job representing Bermuda on a grand stand!! And applause ton the Bermudian supporters in the audience who kept the focus on Bermuda – wonderful to sit and behold!

The Gombey outfit was a wonderful touch and Jana, with her boundless energy, created energy for each soloists by shouting, calling, and supporting each and everyone of them!! That’s the Bermudian spirit for you!!

Again, I am proud to be a Bermudian and I am extremely proud of my representative at Ms World, Jana Outerbridge – she is utterly amazing!M
