Niketa Barker, Miss Guyana’s representative at the Miss Universe pageant, failed to make it to the semi-finals of the competition held at the Florida International University Arena, Miami IU Arena, Miami, on Sunday.
The competition, the 63rd edition of the pageant, was won by Miss Colombia Paulina Vega.
Miss Jamaica Kaci Fennell was the lone representative from the Caribbean to make it to the final five and was an early crowd favourite. She placed fourth runner-up in the competition, much to the displeasure of the audience who booed at the announcement.
By yesterday morning, fans of Fennell took to their social media accounts to voice their disgust over the results, saying that Fennell was robbed.
#jamaicashouldhavewon was the trending hashtag for most of yesterday. Some believe that Fennell lost out on the crown because she failed to answer one of the interview questions appropriately.
