With the amount of young women having children this pageant may find itself in a diffucult position attracting young women not withstanding that most “Bermudian” women are attractive.

I think Ms. Hypolite has a GREAT chance of winning!!!

Beauty will not be a factor when you stand before the judges!

Good Luck Ladies

What exactly are you a “supporter” of? You sound like the same person who comes on here everytime there is a pageant related story talking the same negative mess. We only have 9 parishes and there will be only one winner so does it really matter that eight contestants have made it thru? I personally know many women who would have liked to participate but couldn’t because they kids or had other conflicting obligations.
Clearly you must have personal issues with the organizers of the pageant because no logical person could fault the Department of Tourism for supporting a positve community event such as this. It makes perfect sense that would help send the next Miss Bermuda to Miss World, after all she will be representing our country overseas. You obviously aren’t aware that the current Miss Bermuda (Jana Outerbridge) has made appearences at international travel market events to promote the island as well as the highly successful Bermuda Day in Grand Central station in New york, which did in fact bring many visitors to the island who may not have othewise come.
Last year people were complaining when the DOT didn’t support Miss Bermuda but now that they are contributing it’s a problem? I guess it’s true what they say, you can’t please all the people all the time…..
