Sadly
Fiji returns to Miss Universe after 43 years with SCANDAL
PRESS RELEASE :
A controversial decision by judges on the night incorrectly awarded the wrong winner at the Gala Top Ten finalists Event held at the Pearl Resort last night, that has led heartbreak and tears for two contestants.
The actual winner of the top 10 was Nadine Roberts, but she was announced as the Runner Up on the night, after a rushed announcement and error.
Unfortunately for Miss Roberts, this has happened to her twice now, after the pageant wrongly announced another winner Manshika Prasad.
It’s not the first time this has happened in the beauty pageant world, but could have been easily avoided, if the contracted organiser had followed correct procedures in the event.
The 8 votes had led to a tie, meaning the licensee holder must then decide on the winner, not the contracted organiser, who wanted a Fiji Indian winner to leverage potential Global Business deals. A failure to count the licensee vote, to ensure only the Fiji Indian contestant would win by the judges, against a local Fiji non Indian contestant winning.
7 judges plus one vote by licensee holder, left the two girls with 4 votes each, an internal review revealed, after concerns were raised by the local licensee representative on the night , sent to ensure transparency in voting calculations.
The contracted organiser failed to count the licensee vote, and failed to then consult in the event of a tie, who has the determining vote to decide who is best to represent MUF at the finals in Mexico, in November later this year.
Despite concerns raised on the night by the local licensee representative that was in attendance, that the Licensee vote must be counted, and then consulted in the event of a tie, to then decide on the winner, the contracted organiser rushed to announce their favourite candidate as the winner on the night, creating unnecessary confusion and controversy.
The MUF licensee representative said it’s upsetting when such errors occur that taint what has been a very successful event, and with amazing contestants and a top ten that Fiji can be proud of.
The close competition however means that such an event will only get bigger and stronger in the years ahead, and we congratulate Nadine Roberts on being chosen as MUF 2024, and thank all the contestants for their contribution and efforts.
The Miss Universe brought together Fiji’s elite in hospitality, business, and fashion. Hosted at the luxurious The Pearl Resort & Spa, the event marked the country’s long-awaited return to the Miss Universe global stage, 43 years after its last participation
