If you thought that “joke” was funny then you have a very poor sense of humor, plus that is like a 3 year old reference at this point.

Congrats rochelle and the other contestants especially crystal lyn. you might not have won but if the competition was judged on looks,you would have most definetly won. i hope you are allowed to try out again next year

Joke was wack though. Clearly some personal feelings behind that message lol

And Rochelle isn’t any of that?? Cuzzzzzz SHE definitely wouldn’t be fighting…

By: Fij

LOL! Why do I know who this is haha This is it…there’s NO reason to be negative if your contestant didn’t win (or place top 5). At the end of the day let’s support our Miss Bermuda because she is representing us! And I agree, she will do amazing this year, with Jana’s advise and her island behind her; ANYONE going to Miss World has already done well with representing their country in such a pageant

By: Fij

Fij — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 16:19:32 +0000

SMH…No pressure is right. Rochelle is beautiful enough AND MORE to represent Bermuda well! All the girls did amazing. Where’s the support? Always somebody hating! And no it wasn’t based solely on popularity either. Maybe some of you should attend one of these and find out because clearly you DON’T know what you’re talking about

By: OMG!!!

OMG!!! — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 15:53:41 +0000

People always say Bermuda is another world and the people are so nice . . . WRONG!!!!!!!! People say the nastiest things on here!!!!! Maybe all of you should get off the rock for a while and discover other cultures . . . n I don’t mean on a shopping trip either!!!!!!!!!!

A beauty pageant is about beauty, poise, the ability to walk and talk in an eloquent manner . . . in other words its a whole package from the time they enter to the time they take their lasst walk across the stage!!!!!!!!!!!

Please please learn something before making stupid and unnecessary comments!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to the winner . . . a job well done, represent our country well dear!!!!! To the ladies who came runner ups, also job well done. And to the ladies who did not place, I give you all the props in the world for entering, its takes confidence and courage to do so . . . WELL DONE

Why didn’t they get in the competition then? Probably because they’re just good to look at and the moment their mouths open we taking an L. If not I’m sure they would have just gotten washed by the Top 5 that made it anyway so they figured they’d just chill. Whatever it is Roe’s our Miss World so let’s get it!!

Congratulations Rochelle!!! Well done!
Good luck to you at Miss World.

And to all the negative commenters, its so easy to be so negative when you are hiding behind fake names. You know Rochelle was a great choice.
The top 3 were all worthy but only one could win.

To WIN Miss Bermuda so many young females need to stop and think that a pretty face isn’t worth much if you cant Speak Well or Hold Yourself Well at all times. Not because you have a competition on Sunday, how about last week? Bermudians need young Positive Women to Hold Up High for our young females to admire. Stop fighting out nights, stop hanging with the ganstas etc.

Chelsea great job for such a young girl……You should be proud.

Bernews – Sophie Cannonier wasn’t Miss Bermuda…she was Miss Bermuda Islands. In 1988 there were two different competitions – Miss Bermuda was won by Kim Lightbourne and Miss Bermuda Islands by Sophie Cannonier.

Rochelle will do a lot better at Miss World than Jana did in 2011 for any number of reasons. Jana was 76th I believe.

She won’t place? Please don’t be ugly talking like that. And you guys have to understand someone not even top 5 wasn’t taking us anywhere. If you don’t make the playoffs you can’t win the Super Bowl. But hey your people didn’t win so be bitter. But Roe like we told you from the day you entered “you winning”. WE OUTTA HERE

Congratulations to Rochelle – how delightful to see such an impressive representative for Bermuda in 2012-13. It shows that beauty and brains can go together, and the result when the judges make the decisions. A very positive role model and she will represent herself and Bermuda well on the world stage. Congrats also to the runners up.
On the flipside, the format of the pageant hasn’t changed from last year which is unfortunate and probably has a negative effect on more entries, and why in the picture showing her seated and crowned isn’t the 1st and 2nd runner up contestants next to her?

At least your mind must be a little sharper as you are not trapped on ‘the rock’. Good luck with your future profession.

What is really wrong with you BERMUDIANS??? Why are you always so quick to judge someone and/or put them down? You need to take a look at your life before you make all the unnecessary comments! That’s why they don’t go anywhere in life. So friggin closed minded they are. Why can’t a simple CONGRATULATIONS be said? Stop hating!!!! Jealousy is a B!t@h!!!

By: Camden

Camden — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 08:06:16 +0000

Kanye really picked someone not even top 5 to win… Everyone with eyes and ears knew Rochelle was winning the day she jumped in the competition but glad she stayed humble throughout it and won it with grace. Now onto Miss World

Rochelle was my second choice. I’m quite pleased with the decision. She’s pretty and has unusual, distinctive features-she kind of reminds me of a cat. Plus…have you seen her body? Definitely the best in the competition.

I think the judges made a good choice for once. I’m still flabbergasted that Rachel Sawden didn’t win last year…I’m not sure if it was the same judges, but they should have their eyesight checked!!!

Best wishes to you all. It takes a strong individual to committ to something like this. All the training, lectures, rehearsals, photo / video shoots, public appearances are hard enough. But Im sure that is nothing compared to the negative comments made by many of the haters!

I hope that you all remember the positive experiences and I trust that you will all be stronger women after today and I hope that the public encourage you all by posting positive only comments.
