Who Is Bermuda’s Most Fascinating Person?
The “10 Most Fascinating People in Bermuda” series is set to return for another season, with the public being given the opportunity to help determine who will make the cut for 2016′s list.
The special series, produced and hosted by Lisa Pickering and filmed by Crimson Multimedia, is set to air on Bernews starting in January.
The individual features will be shown in no particular order every Monday and Wednesday, with the final interview revealing the “Most Fascinating Person of 2016.”
This unique series is being brought to you by title sponsor One, allows you to tune in to learn about each member of the list and choose your favourites ahead of the big reveal.
Ms Pickering has over fifteen years of media experience in both long and short programming, live and scripted, entertainment, news and corporate videos. In the video above, Ms. Pickering is wearing a “Playa Playsuit” in Forever Fronds print by HAMEC.
She has worked as a journalist and reporter in Bermuda covering the 2012 election for CITV, and currently hosts ‘In The Know’ for the station.
To submit your picks for the ‘Most Fascinating People in Bermuda,’ please email bermybios@gmail.com.
Letting the public know the criteria for nominating a candidate would be helpful.
I think it’s whoever you feel is worth the accolade, that’s made headlines of one form or another, in 2016. So it could be an entertainer, athlete, businessperson, person in the community, no restriction (except being either Bermudian or living in Bermuda).
“Whoever you feel is worth the accolade” – Then I nominate myself?! Good intentions poorly thought through if that is indeed the criteria for nomination. Just read below how silly the nominations are going to get with NO criteria set.
Could be worse, look at the National Heroes fracas where it’s turned into politicians selecting former politicians for the title.
Here, although the suggestions in the Bernews thread (and whatever gets submitted by email) may be considered ludicrous by some, it stands to reason that Ms. Pickering and the staff that works with her will use a fine toothed comb to separate the wheat from the chaff.
I think the criteria is who you find most fascinating.
Well for starters the criteria should exlude ALL polititians.
Duffy hands down.
Well we already know who are the biggest a**es.
All 36 of them.
I nominate SCIENTIST! #mostfascinating
Dude it’ll be soo funny if he won it! lets start the movement – I just sent in my e-mail nominating him. I can’t wait to see him give his acceptance speech with a can of 211 in his hand…
Not just Scientist, SHAOLIN SCIENTIST.
The hunger strike lady that gained weight!
ROFFL!
I predict Jimmy “Spittle” Spithill will win.
Scientist…
So I had a beer and cleaned the house and washed what was needed to be.
I had second thoughts re the topic.
The little girl and boy who learned to help their family and neighbors.
The people that taught them this
The people that still do.
Sorry to have gone over “10″.
Shalom.
Hmmmmm, for good reasons or for other reasons? The facinating people for good reasons usually go about their lives in a quiet unassuming way.
The others are always looking for an open mike or a pulpit to gain attention from.
Fair argument on pulpits, et al, and one that can be used to disqualify any politician or other ‘news-maker’- so why not a small business owner who’s done well (e.g. Yo Cherry or Ashley’s Lemonade), or an unheralded athlete or entertainer who may inspire others, for example?
Mark Anderson!

#LegalizeTweed
As much as it pains me to say this the most fascinating person in Bermuda is Rev Tweed. How an expat can rally the masses to march against the very bill that would have legitimized him in this Country only to have the same people clamor for it’s legalization when he loses his permit is truly, truly indeed fascinating.
There are no other words for it…… well there are but lets leave it as ‘fascinating’.
Its call being unbiased. Not many people can think or be on that level. the ability to look beyond oneself.
no one
