In the South Florida community you can go in your enclave and never lose your accent/language..that includes Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, Brazil etc.

well err no, she wanted to do things HER way, her definition of beauty and it backfire pan her


clearly she never watch and study past pageants to see what "kind of look" the judges would be looking for

Really? Do these people not work with Americans who don't share their ethnic background. To me it shows a lack of adaptability.

Just mixing and mingling with others would have an impact on accents, I would think.

None of the answers to the questions were impressive, except for one Latin American contestant. Saying "I don't understand...hello" while really Jamaican didn't help.

I think though it is definitely the fact that she didn't have a weave that hurt her....look from wen mi been licking out 'gainst this weave and pageant business.

You need to get out your little enclave more often. You could learn a little more about the world around you before you start to deliver your almighty, all encompassing, opinions.

Seems like the other contestants are opening up..it also puts them in the lime light.

'The girls would have preferred her to win': Miss Australia Tegan Martin opens up about Miss Universe pageant controversies and agrees Miss Jamaica should have won

By Karishma Sarkari for Daily Mail Australia


When Miss Colombia's Paulina Vega was crowned Miss Universe 2015, a plethora of fans took to social media to dispute the winner.

The hash-tags 'Miss Jamaica Was Robbed' and 'Miss Jamaica Should Have Won' began trending on Twitter and it seemed 22-year-old Kaci Fennell, was not only a crowd-pleaser but a favourite of the contestants too - many of whom hoisted her into the air right after the crowning, despite a fifth place finish in the pageant.

Miss Universe Australia, Tegan Martin, told Daily Mail Australia: 'A lot of the girls would have preferred her [Miss Jamaica] to win but no-one was trying to take that moment away from Miss Columbia at all.'

'A lot of the girls were close to Jamaica because she was the type of person who tried really hard to make an effort with everyone, even with the language barrier,' she added.

'She looked different to the stereotypical Miss Universe with the short hair and the strong features,' Tegan said of Miss Jamaica.

'So I think people were a bit excited that maybe they would change it up a bit this year...but Columbia was still a crowd favourite.'

Look like Gloria Estefan did not have a problem marrying a man who was in the USA for NUFF years and still has an accent so thick you could cut it with a knife.
