THE HURRICANE MARY LEAVES FROM PUERTO RICO...
ALL THE ISLAND IS WITHOUT ELECTRICITY
Its Hurricane Maria not Mary, and yes the whole island is without electricity and from what I saw when I was driving in Carolina and San Juan there were some minor damages from what I saw but I heard on the radio that its pretty bad in some places but most of Puerto Rico will be without electricity for about 2 months just like when Hurricane George hit the island in Sep 21, 1998 or when Hurricane Hugo in 1989.
This pageant will probably be postponed to october or they will choose someone to compete this year and have this girls compete for the 2018 title.
I don't know if you'll like this idea but, why not send Stephanie Roman? Afterall she's the reigning MW Puerto Rico after Del Valle was crowned MW? The country should recover first from the tragedy. And instead of withdrawing to the pageant, send someone else who can readily take over.
I concur, so that Dayanara can have a better shot at the crown if she wins since a back to back is nearly impossible but I do not think Rockondude, Tsatsabi and co will be happy with that since the first thing they said when she was crowned was I hope she will not go to Miss World. But it will be a nice end to her pageant career if she does go.
I hope they are all staying safe.
The reality is, Alter. That it would be extremely unfair for these girls that were days away from crowning to just go home empty handed and maybe start over next year, ALSO if the rumors are true the organization has been toying with these girls for weeks now. I would want Canovanas because Roman wont get anywhere in the final on November... but something tell me they will send her
Let's start with you not addressing me as Alter but to think of it there's not much they can do. The situation in the country is dire and they cannot go ahead and hold the competition Canovanas is Miss World material but coming on the heels of Stephanie top 5 will be difficult, I agree that having someone like Roman represent you after Stephanie will be hard to swallow but the silver lining is Dayanara has a good shot at the crown next year if she wins. They will not need to start over next year they will only continue where they left of, the competition could be this year but the winner competes next year.
Hope you are safe.
I'm safe, in a constant state of anxiety but you know it is what it is.
I get what you mean but having Roman after the rather sketchy rumors its what makes it uneasy for me; I do think that at the moment they can contact all the girls they should hold a private pageant to at least choose her for next year because she will need a lot of training... but ni modo, it is what it is.
