I cant get ahold of anyone in the organization either, Im guessing everyone is in transit home tho. I know who won the Miss, Teen and Mrs Divisions but not how the rest of the girls placed. (Miss Canada, Miss Teen Jamaica and Mrs. Pakistan, who is Canadian too yay). (NT) Christi 16:26:51 11/15/10 Mon I was trying to find a photo of our Canadian winner and found a link to the pageant director, Leon Failz (Leon Epic Failz) (btw, I think he has a hacker on his page who changed his name and update status, lol). Have a look at what people have been writing on his facebook wall before he has a chance to erase the posts. Sounds like a big time scam artist! -- IPG (Island Pageant Girl), 23:18:22 11/15/10 Mon From what I understand, Leon was hired by Miss United Nation as the international director to organize the event in Jamaica. I dont believe anything he did reflects on the international pageant. As far as I understand they were taken too, but we also have to give opportunity to let the dust settle, remember there is always fall out after a pageant. Hoping for details from those who were there soon. Will keep you all posted :) I found one photo of all the winners at some point last night. I will try to find it again and post it. (NT) -- Christi, 17:01:06 11/16/10 Tue So what exactly happened? What is all thedrama about? Did some guy named Leon Williams run away with all the money?? There are alot of people talking about what a crappy guy this is, and how he didn't pay the hotel or something along those lines, but what EXACTLY happened? And who is this Cathy person they keep talking about?? Its all so confusing b/c no one comes right out and says what happened! (NT) -- Karen, 16:02:57 11/17/10 Wed Its very confusing. Leon was the national host, Cathy owns the pageant. I 'believe' Leon bought the franchise rights to hold the event in Jamaica, was supposed to arrange hotel, food, events, either by sponsorship or to pay for himself with delegates entry fees. Naturally some of the fees would go to the head office as they supply the crowns and sashes but from what I understand he didnt pay the hotel bill and it is questionable if the delegates were fed. From what it sounds like he vanished halfway through & the delegates, and others pulled teh show together in spite of his actions. Im not sure how much of a role Cathy, the owner played in making sure the event came off successfully either but it seems as though one of the delegates really wants to blame her as well. I worked very closely with the girls to help them get there since thier 'director' dropped out of sight instead of coming through as promised. I will get info as I get it from the horses mouth, not rumours or innuendo :) (NT) -- Christi, 19:58:27 11/17/10 Wed Yea, when you get the details from the Canadian contestants, let us know! Very bizarre situation! (NT) -- Karen, 12:55:03 11/18/10 Thu From the delegates that I worked with. -- Christi, 13:34:04 11/19/10 Fri Questionable? -- PageantFan, 20:13:47 11/19/10 Fri As I said, from the delegates I worked with, which would be the other girl in the photograph, and the 3 she mentions in the article. As I said, they had a wonderful experience, but the host/director who was responsible for the event in Jamaica really dropped the ball. I have no doubt that the pageant owners were unaware of his lack of organization but it was in fact less than what they would have expected for thier brand.
