AMIDST cheers of approval, student Deanna Robbins was crowned Miss Jamaica World 50 inside the ballroom of the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in St Andrew on Saturday night.

A crowd favourite throughout the evening's presentation, the 21-year-old seemed shocked when her name was called as the new queen edging out 19 other beauties. Robbins will be representing Jamaica at Miss World in Inner Mongolia, China, on August 18.

In her first media interview as Miss Jamaica World 50, Robbins, still sitting on the coronation throne, struggled to find the words to describe the moment.

"I'm speechless," she told the Jamaica Observer, still shaking from the mix of nervousness and joy.

"This has been such a great journey and I can see so much growth in myself... I am truly proud of this win," she continued.

Robbins said she is looking forward to representing Jamaica at Miss World and hopes to add to the Jamaica 50 celebrations.

Earlier in the evening, it was a tight race to the finish as all the contestants took to the stage with poise during the swimwear and evening wear segments. They all held their own during the dreaded interview segment.

At the end of the night, second place went to the immensely-popular 24-year-old registered nurse Trishauna Clarke, while the statuesque Rashida Beckford took the third spot. Shona Bewley was fourth and Lauren McKay completed the top 5.

The Top 10 finalists were completed by Adrianna Bryan, Kelly-Ann Diedrick, Chevell Powell, Claudiann Berry and Lauren McClure.

The winner of the fast-track mini competitions, which guaranteed them a placing in the Top 10 were: Trishauna Clarke — beach beauty and sports; Adianna Bryan — model and talent; and Rashida Beckford — beauty with a purpose.

The four sectional prizes went to Deanna Robbins — Best Smile; Adrianna Bryan — Best Skin Tone; Trishauna Clarke — Best Legs; and Rashida Beckford —Most Aware. Robbins would also take the top spot in the Planning Institute of Jamaica's essay competition.

This year's presentation showed thought and planning, with a smooth-running production, for the most part. The one area in which it was found wanting was in the choice of hosts. Broadcasters Regina Beavers and Michael Anthony Cuffe Jr proved almost to be the undoing of the show. They lacked the chemistry required of effective hosts and this led to their delivery being flat and disconnected.

The organisers were clearly going for young, fresh faces, and this is understandable. However, the pair lacked the authority required to pull the proceedings together.

This year's coronation show paid tribute to Jamaica 50 as well as the past queens who have done the country proud at Miss World.

As a result three past queens were honoured during the show. They are Dr Allison Barnett-Cross — Miss Jamaica 1985; Imani Duncan-Pryce — Miss Jamaica 1995; and, Dr Tonoya Toyloy-Williams, the 2004 queen.

Hopes to bring home 'Miss World' title for Jamaica 50

On a night when the final announcements went by at almost bullet speed, it was Deanna Robins who shot past favourite Trishauna Clarke to be crowned Miss Jamaica World at Saturday's staging of the competition that was held at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston.

Skipping a top-five announcement and even another round of tougher questions as is customary, the chair for the prospective winner was placed on the stage. The top-10 finalists were then called to the stage: Trishauna Clarke, Adrianna Bryan, Deanna Robins, Rashida Beckford, Lauren McKay, Shona Bewley, Kelly-ann Diedrick, Claudiann Berry, Lauren McClure, and Chevell Powell.

In a somewhat hasty manner, it was announced that Lauren McKay was fifth, Shona Bewley in fourth, and Rashida Beckford third. The surprise came when Trishauna Clarke, who was a clear favourite throughout the night and leading up to the competition, was announced as the first runner-up behind Deanna Robins.

While many of the patrons in the room remained silent, a group of people cheered for Robins as she was being serenaded by Singing Melody.

When the noise abated, with the crown secured on her head, an elated Robins finally spoke.

"I'm speechless! I am so happy! I am so overwhelmed! It's been such an amazing journey' and I am so thankful I pulled out with the crown. Nobody really expects to win Miss Jamaica. There are 20 other beautiful girls who are all wonderful, so I am really honoured to have this crown on my head right now," she told The Gleaner.

High hopes

As for the Miss World pageant that takes place in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China, in August, Robins hopes to be successful.

"I hope I do well. I really want to bring back the crown for Jamaica 50. It would be a great birthday present," she said.

Earlier in the evening, the contestants did their opening piece and also paraded in bikinis. Singing Melody followed with Collide. Footage of the Miss ATI competition was also shown, with Chevell Powell being crowned the winner of that contest. During the commercial breaks for the show, which was being aired live, patrons were treated to bloopers by the contestants.

Then, upon their return to the stage, the 20 finalists paraded in evening wear while Alaine sang and played the piano. As Robins touched the stage, the horns were near deafening. Lauren McKay also got a good response, but the crowd was not half as loud as they were when Trishauna took the stage in a body-hugging silk red dress.

Later, Robins copped the Best Smile award, Bryan won Best Skin Tone, Clarke won Best Legs, and Beckford was awarded Most Aware. Robins was also the winner of an essay competition.

For the fast-track competitions that determined some of the top-10 finalists, Clarke was first in the beach beauty and sports categories. Also with two wins was Bryan, who was placed first in the modelling and talent sections. Yet she was not among the top-five finalists. With only one of the fast-track wins, Rashida Beckford got the 'Beauty with a Purpose' title.

Although the audience was not privy to the contestants answering tough questions on this occasion, they got to hear contestants answering simple questions about themselves.

After a raunchy performance by iCandy, who wore a very short dress that turned heads, presentations were made to former Miss Jamaica World winners Dr Allison Barnett-Cross, Imani Duncan-Price, and Tonoya Toyloy-Williams.
