We’ve all heard the old sayings. Couldn’t organise a piss-up in a brewery. Couldn’t organise a f**k in a brothel. Couldn’t organise a bunfight in a bakery. Couldn’t run a bath. But a new standard of breathtaking incompetence has been set in Fiji with the failure of the local Miss Universe people to properly organise a beauty pageant.
Where else in the world would there be two “winners” announced by rival factions in a competition? They’re trying to say it happens all the time. Yeah, sure. Yet only in Fiji would there be a nasty racial element in which one faction is said to have preferred an “Indian” winning because it was better for international promotion.
Poor Manshika Prasad, who has just definitively been confirmed as the winner in this unseemly sh*tfight. She is always going to suffer the embarrassment of at least the perception of having only been chosen because of her ethnicity. And the sniping from chauvinist iTaukei about her not being representative of the country is undoubtedly still to come.
Beauty with the ugliest of tinges. And one more reason to conclude that the place is terminally hopeless.
From today’s Fiji Sun…
And today’s Fiji Times…
A novel idea to end the fiasco.
What do I think? Not a lot.
I’m surprised our porn queen Tabuya didnt show up and demand to be crowned Miss Universe Fiji.
Perhaps she was busy doing a show on OnlyFans?
GD they have made this a race based issue whereas the truth is something else. In 2014, the winner of the Miss Earth competition in Australia Dayana Grageda was controversially stripped off the title and the title was given to this same Nadine Robert’s, the third runner up. Controversy arose when it was questioned why the 1st place runner up or 2nd place runner up were not considered for the title.
The Licensee holder for the Miss Universe Fiji pageant is a Lux Property Bali which also served as the judge. Funny enough, the owner of Lux Property Bali is Jamie McIntyre who is “drumroll” the husband of Nadine Robert’s!!!. They have made this a Race based issue.
Gosh. What a fetid pile of pus. I was in two minds whether to post anything on this but thanks for throwing new light on the story. How extraordinary.
We can still expect the buiniga crowd to make a fuss because neither of these two look iTaukei. And unless you’re iTaukei, so it goes, you can’t represent Fiji. Imagine the fuss if a “vulagi” were to be Miss Universe? That would never do, would it.
Yes bro, if one visits Nadines FB Profile she disclosed McIntyre was her fiance back in 2020. Jamie lives in Australia and runs various political agendas and truth forums and she forgot to delete that post
They are serial scammers and have been for years!
Chaos thriving and spinning, ongoing questionable appointments and judicial and budget decisions, drugs even by police, death penalty pushed last week, then last weekend this Ms Universe thing, let alone the Sigatoka boxing ring. This week and weekend? Wake up please, Political Leaders! Our children and youth are watching.
There is a massive conflict of interest here. Robert’s husband is the license holder for this pageant in Fiji.
That is what happens when race and ethnic background becomes a factor in any decision.
Maybe they should put up Lynda Tabuya up as Miss Universe. She is pretty representative of Fiji. She is a shining light and an example of what and how things should be. Just ask her and the rest of the imbeciles in Fiji.
Some are known to be also questioning her indigenous-ness! Which, if true, will disqualify her from the “race”.
Well the kuini of tarti is Maori isn’t she. Ask her. And kadavu is niusiladi lailai. Light a bong and lets do the twist! Ha ha
At least we have young women, who are so beautiful that there are two winners. I recall a beauty contest held somewhere in your country there were no winners.
It’s a reflection of the confusion that’s existent in the current government. Head not right? Don’t expect the body to function. Bunch of clowns!!!
There’s problems here
1. The licensee Lux Bali Property is one of the 7 panel of judges and Legend FM revealed Nadine Roberts is the wife of the licensee
2. The organiser denies saying a Fiji Indian was preferred, the allegations are made by the licensee
3. If Nadine is married, it’s a Mrs Universe not Miss
Another good point re 3.
Lets not let full disclosure get in the way of who the winner is!!!! Lets not let prejudice and transparency get in the way of expediency!
It will be like when the Ministry of iTaukei Affairs gives out interest free loans to the iTaukei, full disclosure and transparency will be put by the wayside. This is iTaukei land so we are entitled to do whatever we want and however we want. All vulagis should know their proper place. We love democracy as long as it is iTaukei style democracy with a lot of arrogance, after which we all will go to church to praise he lord. Hallelujah!
And in that light, what can one say about the Hibiscus contestants this year!
Absolutely scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
What makes it worse is the FM96 wannabe crew interviewing these women in their broken and kaicolo English. The only word repeated is “like.”
Pathetic.
Obese women, no confidence, broken English, can’t even pronounce Fijian words correctly, no real life experience, lots of fluff.
I just can’t anymore! The standards are too low in this country now.
Judges are supposed to be independent and needs to provide opinion/ make decision objectively. @GD please explain how can a husband make a unbiased decision when judging his wife, I am certain that I wouldn’t, would you?
Yes, I would instinctively vote against her. 🙂
LMFAO
Former Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Lee James Burney has been appointed as Puisne Judge of the High Court.
Racism being reversed??
One swallow doth not a summer make.
Under this government, eveyone makes the rules and the laws as they go. Just look at the judiciary, bank employees are the same, civil servants are the same, politicians are the same, the chiefs are the same, everywhere you go, people make their own rules as they go. I have and I am sure thousands of others have experienced it themselves.
“Fish rots from the head” and it is certainly true under this government, led by a complete f*ckwit and rapist of democracy from 37 years ago, ably assisted by Baimaan the betrayer.
And the people are really happy or they are complete f*ckwits themselves. Guess how many are there in Fiji. And then they all wonder why they are where they are.
While we are at it, they couldn’t even organize a kiddy ride without the thing capsizing and kids falling and out and crying.
Fiji has no business doing carnival rides.
The whole place is a shit show.
Australian media reports…..The Runner up and the Winner but not yet the winner until the courts directions hearing….is seeking legal advise on the matter from a Raygun and her husband
The plot thickens…..
“The former owner banned from business
The swipe was at Gold Coast identity Jamie McIntyre, a banned businessman previously known for hosting lavish parties in Surfers Paradise.
In 2016, a Federal Court judge banned Mr McIntyre from managing corporations for 10 years, after he was found to have run five unlawful managed investment schemes, which cost 152 investors $7 million.
Mr McIntyre has been tied to the sunken superyacht, but strongly denies that he is its current owner.”
So now he runs businesses in Bali and sponsors beauty pageants for his wife? Hmmmm
Jamie mcintyre and his wife Nadine Roberts have been scamming around Australia for years and when their run down super yacht sunk at Yeppoon a few years back, they denied it was their’s. The yacht sunk like legit a few days before their wedding, photos and videos of all of this have since been deleted. She also deleted most of their photos together a few month back. They also had a few air bnbs that they tried renting out for exorbitant money. Once everyone in Queensland knew them and people got cranky with there dodgy stuff, they disappeared to Bali. He now does the same property scam in Bali, he got done for in Australia. With the money he would have bought the licence for this miss fiji event. Stay away from Jamie Mcintyre, he keeps creating new businesses, new accounts, he is fake from top to bottom and if you call him out he will release “official statements”, make up fake newsletter articles and so on, it’s quite entertaining actually, if it wasn’t other people’s money he spends.
