Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillipps Was My Choice To Win Miss Universe 2010

As my paternal side of the family hails from Kingston, I was partial…no I was actually rooting for Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillipps to win the crown of Miss Universe 2010. Aaah…I was seeing it in my mind. The white rum flowing, the smell of congratulatory ganja permeating the air, and the curry goat making my mouth water.

Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillipps would have to settle for an admirable showing as first runner up. Of course, if for any reason the winner can’t do her job and fulfill her duties, Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillipps would then get the title. But that’s so anti-climatic.

Miss Jamaica 2010, Yendi Phillipps, was named first runner-up at the Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas on Monday night. Yendi surprised judges and spectators as she out-performed the competition and made it all the way to the final decision.

Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillipps describes herself as an adrenaline junkie and says she enjoys cliff diving and swimming with sharks.

The Jamaican stunner’s go-for-it attitude got her into the finals, but some have speculated that she may have been too headstrong for organizers. In a question-and-answer portion in the competition, Yendi took a strong stand against the death penalty.

“We have no right to control the destiny of another person,” she said. “Only one person can do that, and that’s God.” The response, which was one of the few hard-and-fast answers given during the competition, drew scattered boos from around the audience.

Well…she was my choice until she opened her mouth. Damn liberal.
