Ms.
Bikini Universe
Once
again we got to see how the Interview Round can change the outcome. After
the Sportswear and Swimsuit Round Scores were combined we saw Tina and
Sylvia Tremblay in 1st and 2nd place respectively. Next was Jessica Hatch
in 3rd, followed by Shima & Lori in 5th. It may be only 20% in the
Interview Round but when things are close like they were between 3rd-5th
place, it makes all the difference in the world!
That
one last grasp to hear a girl's personality, speaking ability and sincerity
on stage and how composed she is during this round can make or break you,
so practice, practice, practice speaking in front of others - not to say
you should Memorize answers, anything too well rehearsed doesn't come
across as being very sincere sometimes, but just a little "food for
thought".
Tina
won the interview round and it kept her at the #1 spot, but Lori Colognesi
and Sylvia tied for 2nd with Shima Carter only a .2 of a point behind
them andJessica took 5th in this round. The results were flipped around
a bit from after the 2 previous rounds and you'll see at the bottom of
this section the Results. I just thought it was interesting in both fitness
and bikini shows that the Interview played a big role in the final placement
of competitors. It just goes to show how important this portion of the
contest can be.
If
you were a competitor, I do have most all of the scores copied down in
my notebook so email me with your name and competitor number if you'd
like your scores.
Special thanks to Eric Freimanis for the photos accompanying this
report.
