      Flesh peddling is not always the criteria for winning!
      The winner was at her very best, hence the judges did the correct thing.

      That reminds me that when Kathleen Telemaque took it all in the 1970’s, she showed no unnecessary inch of flesh when she was crowned Caribbean Queen in a very contested in the same Antigua.

    Very well done miss Burton. I was in a out of sleep while my wife watched and what I saw I was impressed. You were also highly spoken of by the ABS commentators. Strangely, my American wife, who often try to slight me for always boasting about Dominica and things Dominican, agreed with me that you were excellent.

      The results are all over the Internet. That’s true, however I would prefer a comprehensive written piece rather than results that’s being shared all over the place.
