Miss Dominica Jacinta Fagan managed to grab the second runner-up position in the 2011 Miss Caribbean World competition held at the Sir Rupert Briercliffe Hall in the British Virgin Islands last night.

Fagan also won the Best Evening Wear and Miss Photogenic titles in the dazzling competition that left the audience in awe and was worthy of a standing ovation.

The title of Miss Caribbean World 2011 went to Sudeakka Francis of St. Kitts while the first runner-up  position went to Shellya Rogers of Anguilla, who was also titled Best Intellect.

The 2010 Miss Caribbean World title was held by Dominican Marcia Baptiste.

    yes people out of all the ladies that represented Dominica is she the first to not take that crown? Jacintha you did your best next time u will hold them. Alas even the way they gave the news makes it look like she is the first we know how to break somebody down in that country eh. How many have what it takes to even go up there and say your name.

    Congrats to Miss Fagan. But DNO, I am a bit confused wi there…. who deserves the standing ovation? Is it Miss Fagan or the competition? Also, who was ‘dazzling’ exactly? I don’t really understand that paragraph nuh, Papa. Maybe I am just slow or maybe you all really need to take a writing class.

    Admin: maybe you need to take a reading class, lol lol…..the story said, ” Fagan also won the Best Evening Wear and Miss Photogenic titles IN THE DAZZLING COMPETITION THAT left the audience in awe and worthy of a standing ovation.” (Caps for emphasis)

      So who was worthy of a standing ovation? the dazzling competition or the audience?

      Do not defend the indefensible admin!

        Funny that as I too was confused when I got to this point! Oh well I wouldn’t waste my time if I were you trying to get people to ‘put their hand up’ when they made an error, as you will be banging your on a wall.

    • Agreed
      May 23, 2011

      TO ME – the upper caps says it all. “The competition was dazzling and left the audience in awe and worthy of a standing ovation!” – REALLY?

      Admin this should be rephrased, maybe something to the extent of removing completely “THE DAZZLING COMPETITION” and focussing on Miss Fagan who obviously was the PERSON and not THING to leave the audience in awe. If it was her dress that was dazzling you can state that too

      Don’t be so norrow or even ‘ignorant’ for that matter as you well know our beautiful Dominica has so many beautiful beauties, there isn’t just room for one as there’s an abundance.

      All our women are beautiful in their own right some more than others yes but nonetheless in their own right.

      Now share the love…..

      That sounds interesting and it is a shame no body ever post segments of those pageants on ‘Youtube’ which is kind of ironic with all the technology around these days.

      Tell me something ‘Pageant tracker’, has a delegate from Dominica ever won that show in St Kits & Nevis and if so who were they.

      Thanking you kindly

      I guess you and ‘Pageant tracker’ are well up-to-date with your facts on some of the regional pageants, as you both had the identical information on the exact same day.

    May 22, 2011

    Miss Fagan did her best. At least she placed. She clearly can stand head to head to some of the queens we had over the past few years. I don’t expect too much from her in the regional pageants so placing in this one goes far beyond my expectation. Hope she can grow from strength to strength.

  23. Go do your homework
    May 22, 2011

    Please be reminded that Miss St Kitts 2009/2010 is the one who represented that country in this show. She was 1st runner-up in Ms Carival 2010, ahead of Miss Dominica 2010 and 2nd runner-up in Miss Jaycees with Miss Dominica 2010 (Marcia Francis) winning the title then. That’s just how pageants work. Congratulations Jacintha on securing a place in your very 1st regional pageant! Just remember to give it your best shot everytime. There can only be one winner.

    • Is dert!
      May 22, 2011

      I know right! But why would they not send the reigning queen of St Kitts 2010/2011?

      • Go do your homework
        May 23, 2011

        It is just not one of the scheduled shows on the reigning queen’s agenda for the year. Last year, the young lady who represented St Kitts was a former queen from a few years back. She practically got her own sponsorship to participate. There is nothing strange about that as it relates to St Kitts participation in that particular show.

      • Enchanted 1
        May 27, 2011

        Good question and I thought I had recognised her from the Miss Jaceeys last Summer when I visited with some of my friends and saw the show.

        How ironic is this and that would lead me to believe there perhaps is some sort of internal politics going on and the may not have been able to find a representative.

        Interesting………………

      That’s so true. Also the girl who represented Jamaica was the 2008 miss Jamaica world not the reigning miss Jamaica.

      Therefore in St.Vincent, St.Kitts and Antigua, Miss Dominica Jacintha will meet a new set of ladies
      who she will do battle with in all these countries.

      • Still want to learn
        May 27, 2011

        It has been said that some of the islands like Trinidad & Tobago & Jamaica, then to send girls who either placed 2nd or 3rd place in some of their pageants to the lesser pageants, just so they have a delegate.

        However, if you follow their structure meticulously you will see that when they choose one girl for ‘The Miss World Pageant’, one for ‘The Miss Universe Pageant’, one for the ‘Miss Caribes Hibiscus Pageant’ and others for the lower rated regional pageants, so the person who actually won the title in those island may not necessarily be the representative in all the pageants.

        I know how that would go down in DA, as people will be up in arms and began enough row-row. lol

  24. interesting
    May 22, 2011

    clearly in the Miss dominica pageant they did not want the intellectual and talented person to place and furthermore win. Best in evening wear and miss photogenic can only take someone so far. A revision in how the winner in the local pageant needs to be done. Best talent- Michelle Joseph, Miss Inteligence- Michelle Joseph. A pretty smile is nt all.

        • k
          May 23, 2011

          i am not a dominican but i watched the show and i have judged regional shows. beauty is important… but not that important, in the swim wear round: we look for muscle tone and fit of the swim suit not big and Cellulite filled legs. i am not saying that Miss Fagan did not deserve her crown, but for the regional shows she has to come a lot stronger because is the same girls that just beat her, she will meet again.

      • exactly
        May 23, 2011

        i agree with Anonymous..i am a proud dominican and Michelle wouldnt represent me at all…number one, her talent was not even flowing..CRAM CRAM CRAM…in pageants you have to flow..number 2, she wasnt looking attractive in the swim wear..number 3, the costume was carrying her….All of the girsl had their faults but Jacintha was the most consistent! this is what matters..no use crying over spilt milk..best wishes to her in her future shows!

      May 22, 2011

      My dear its about CONSISTENCY!!!! and maybe Michelle shined in those TWO areas but what about the rest of the competition????…..stop hating on people who do well and instead try to lift them up after all is your country they’re representing!

      I dont know about you but I’m proud of Jacintha and all the effort I’m sure she’s put into preparing for the show and I wish her nothing but the best in the pageants to come.

      • ok then
        May 23, 2011

        the two girls who beat her got the two awards that Michelle got. My Dear Michelle was CONSISTENT!!!!!!!!!!…. did anyone notice the crown was too big for her head or most of the others except one?…

        • Iye
          May 23, 2011

          okay the girl that one got the two awards that michelle got….think a little here…if michelle was our representative, then it is possible that the girl that won would have still gotten the best talent and miss intelligent award, since both would be competing for that category, leaving michelle with no awards……but jacinta got 2 awards……..all in all…we cannot assume and predict and say if and iff…..deal with the current situation

      Guess what! I’m betting my last dollar Antigua- the Miss jaycess show people will be marking her like rat and cheese.
      I don’t think they will allow Dominica to get three crowns in a row. Mara, Marcia and now jacintha.
      I think for her to get that crown which she WILL WIN by the way, she has to work FOUR TIMES HARD.

      Another thing she will get an ease up in St. Vincent for Miss carival because Marcia did not win although Mara won that title.
