Hi, everybody. Welcome. You're watching Miami TV. We are live at the moment, and

it is 8 .40 to be exact. The event started at 8 o 'clock, and this is Miss

Tropic Beauty.

It's a pageant where they're going to find and select one lady that's going to

be lucky enough to go to Las Vegas. So everybody's lined up over here doing the

meet and greet. It is a very exclusive event here in Fate Nightclub in

Gulfstream Park. And, of course, they always have an amazing event here.

This is early for us, actually. After this, we have another event going on,

I think we have another event after that. So we are going to be live here

approximately about for two hours.

If you guys stay with us the whole night, you're going to have some great

entertainment and, of course, some beautiful ladies. So don't forget, we're

in Miami TV. You can also watch us anywhere in the world through our app,

TV, okay? So you can download it at Google Play, Amazon App Store, or

Yeah.

Tropic Beauty.

Tropic Beauty.

So we're starting, guys. Let's just go ahead and talk to some of the girls that

are here tonight.

So some of them, of course, most of them are taking photos. This is a meet and

greet, like I said. So are you guys taking a photo together?

Yeah? All right. Take a photo, and then I'm going to bother you guys.

Everybody's so pretty. I think it's going to be a tough choice, but let's

what they have to say about it. How are you guys?

Doing great, how are you? What's your name?

Natalia. And your name?

Phil. What's your name?

Phil is my name. Phil, okay. So are you excited? Are you hoping to win? I'm

hoping to win, of course.

Have you been in pageantry?

Actually, I've done traffic beauty for a little while. I went to Vegas last

year, so that was a good experience. I'm hoping to go again next year.

All right, so maybe you have two times winner, huh?

Maybe so.

Where are you from?

Colombia.

What are you doing here tonight?

I'm a judge.

Very good. So what are you looking for?

Don't listen.

All the girls are so beautiful. It's hard to say. It's a special thing. I

I'll know it when I see it.

Now, it is a little difficult here to actually get them to speak. They're not

going to speak, right?

But you're doing their meet and greet, so obviously this does have something to

do with it. You're seeing their personalities because it's not all about

right? We're in the contest.

I'm doing this. I'm good.

But it's not all about beauty, right? That's right. It's not all about beauty.

The smile, their eyes, their energy, it's all critical.

So have you gotten a chance to talk to every single one of them? I'm trying to

meet as many of the girls as I can.

Do they know you're a judge?

Yes, yes.

He's one of the best, so he's already getting to know her. She has to be in

your best behavior, right?

She has to be in the... All right, well, thank you so much, and I'm sure you're

going to have a good decision.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hi.

Are you in the contest?

You're so beautiful.

Jenny, come on. You know me already.

I got other events I'm working on right now. You know that.

There's so many beautiful girls around, and I come and talk to David. I don't

know why.

Well, because, you know, I'm like a part of the beach, you know. Yeah, I'm an

icon. What do you think of the girls so far? I think they're all awesome and

gorgeous. Almost as pretty as you, but not prettier.

Well, I think they're prettier.

I'm writing a movie about you, by the way. It's called Slippage.

Oh, God.

All right, well, say hi to Miami TV.

How you doing, Miami TV?

Always fortunate to have you around.

Thank you.

Bueno, continuemos hablando con más chicas. Hi, beautiful.

Oh, that was very spontaneous, I know.

Hey, I like that because at least you have the personality, so you got it.

You're right, spot on.

Maybe you should do television.

Television, well, welcome to Club Faith. No, I'm just joking.

We are in Club Faith. So what's your name? My name is Chelsea Novak.

Chelsea Novak, where are you from?

From Miami, Florida, only five minutes away.

Are all the girls here from Miami or?

You know what, I spoke to a couple. A lot of them are from past Gainesville,

north. I don't know. I'm bad with directions, so I'll never travel that

Do you feel intimidated? There's a lot of pretty girls here.

Well, everywhere there's going to be someone prettier than you, richer than

so, you know, you have to just work with what you got. I'll fight me tall, so

it's all good.

Let me see your heels, though.

Oh, she does that really good. I am a little bit taller than you.

Yes, I feel good.

Hey,

I always say it's better to be shorter because then you can get taller, but if

you're taller, you can't shrink, you know?

come in big packages.

Very true. So are you hoping to win?

I hope so. Vegas. I went there for my 21st and I had the best time so I'm

to party and hopefully I win.

This is like a judge question, right? What do you think?

Do you think you got what it takes to win tonight to meet this pageant?

Perhaps. You'll have to find out tonight.

Man, I hope she was going to give me a long answer. That didn't work so well.

Well, thank you so much. And I'm sure you're going to do great. Thank you. I

appreciate it. Bye.

I keep

bothering them with the judges. So, how are you?

Good. How are you? I keep taking the girls away from the judge. I'm so sorry.

We're going to go that way then. What's your name?

Caitlin. Caitlin. Very pretty. What's your name?

Jackie O.

Jackie O.

I love it because you guys are being interviewed, but all of you are super

Nobody's stuck up or anything. I like that. I like this pageantry so far.

Very good. So where are you from? I live in Stewart, but I'm from New Jersey.

From New Jersey. Me too.

Way to go, girl. Where are you from? I live in Deerfield. I'm from

though. So why do you think you should win this competition?

Because... That's a question for the judge, right?

Well, yeah, you got me under pressure here. I have the judge next to me.

Well... Because, you know, I like bathing suits and Miss America and

Can you do this?

I've worked on it. It's a scoop, isn't it?

Yeah, a little bit.

She knows what she's talking about.

You've done this for a lot of years.

I have.

What do you think is the toughest thing about being in a pageantry?

A lot of pressure. You need to have the confidence to walk down there in your

bikini. What gives you the confidence?

Wild card.

Beautiful.

It's okay. You've got to leave modesty aside, you know. You're in a pageantry.

You're beautiful, so.

I'm very confident, and thank you.

All right, girls. She's my Tropic Beauty spirit guide, because I've never done

this before, and she's, like, she's helping me out. That's good. She's

me out. It's my first time, but I'm just a beauty sister.

Tropic Beauty sister.

All right. Thank you so much, girls. Thank you so much. Have a good night.

luck. Thank you. Thank you.

Bueno, muchas chicas no son de Miami en particular. Creo que tenemos otro juez.

Are you a judge?

Come over here.

How are you?

I'm doing very well. How about yourself? What's your name?

Michael. And yours? Michael. My name is Jenny.

Jenny? So, yes.

Nice to meet you, too. The girls are telling me that whoever has this is a

judge. So, yes, you're a judge.

Especially right now. I happen to be a judge. Thank you. All right. So, like I

asked, you know, the other girls. Beautiful girls. I mean, so many

girls. It's almost impossible.

to choose which one to win, as well as you. Thank you. I mean, one of them is

better than the other.

So our job is not as easy as it appears.

It's not as easy as it appears.

I think a lot of people watching right now would love to have your job.

It is a good job, but it's not as easy. Every one of them is a beautiful girl.

They're mingling out here. Have you gotten a chance to meet most of them?

had a chance to meet all the girls, most of the girls, wonderful girls.

Like we were saying before, you know, it also has a little bit to do with

personality. It's not all about flash and flares, you know. It's always a lot

fun. This event is a lot of fun. I came all the way from Chicago just to be the

judge for the evening.

Okay, Chicago's very cold there right now, right?

Chicago, Illinois.

No, but right now it's very cold there.

Yes. Colder than here. I'm just here for the night, for the show.

This, for you, is like summer.

Yes. The weather, right? Oh, my God.

The weather is hot, and the girls are even hotter.

They make the weather hotter.

Thank you, thank you. Thank you, have a good night. It was nice to meet you.

Hi,

how are you?

What's your name?

Alexandra. I like how your dress is matching your eyes. Oh, thank you.

So where are you from?

I'm originally from New York, but I live here in Melbourne, Florida.

What do you think about Miami?

Come to join the Tropic Beauty Models, hoping I win.

Everybody's hoping they win, so I think we're all doing a good job here. You

guys are doing good. You're prepping, you're talking to everybody.

You've got to make sure. This is part of the competition, too. I know.

What do you do when you see a judge?

That is a good way to buy them, you know, some kids.

Send a kiss to that camera.

I'm like, all the men here are like, there's so many women, they don't know

where to look at.

You don't have a stage to walk on. Does that make you feel a little bit more

safer that you're walking on the actual floor?

I have confidence.

I think I can do it.

You're wearing a carpet. Does it intimidate you?

No, not at all.

They're born to do this. I like this. Now, how about the girls? Do you get

with them?

I think they're all beautiful.

All of them have a good chance of winning.

No catfight behind stage?

No catfight with me.

That's how it's supposed to be. All right. Thank you so much. I hope you

Bye. Thank you.

You girls

know that when you're in a pageant, you got to be on TV.

It's all part of the gig, you know? What's your name?

Nikki. Nikki and you?

Brandy. So you girls are, are you in the pageant? Yes. So you girls are the

first brunettes that I've interviewed so far. Everybody's been blonde.

So where are you from?

Cocoa Beach.

Cocoa Beach. Ooh, very exotic place. Where are you from? Melbourne.

Melbourne. I mean, it's more quiet, right?

Yeah. Not so exotic, though.

Not so much.

You have more of a summer vibe in Cocoa Beach. All right, so are you hoping to

win, of course?

What's that? Are you hoping to win, of course?

Oh, yeah. I mean, it's definitely, we came here to have fun, but...

It'd be nice to win, but... You guys known each other before this pageant?

Yeah. So you've been in pageants for a long time?

We've done a couple, a few in there. Is it difficult?

You just don't want to fall, I guess is the main. What do you think is the most

difficult thing about being in a pageant?

You have to put yourself out there for judgment, but I also think that's a good

thing so that you build your confidence that way.

I love the girls tonight. Everybody has a good answer. You guys are spot on. So

I'm sure you got here for a reason and they picked you very well. So I hope you

guys win. Say hi to Miami TV.

Hi, Miami.

Thank you, girls. Bye -bye.

I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation here. How are you?

Good. How are you?

What's your name?

Simona. Simona. What's your name? It's Karina.

Karina. Where are you from? Ukraine originally.

Now here in Miami.

Ukraine. Many beautiful women from Ukraine are here.

and also very different. What do you think you guys have in common and what

you think you have as a difference that will make you stand out?

It's really hard to say just something in personality. We are very open,

I don't know, just keep it going.

I guess that's about it.

How about you? Our personalities are very similar. Even the way we speak is

similar, so we say a lot of things.

Are you ready to rock it in the runway?

Yes.

Do you have a nice little spin that you do, or are you just walking to keep it

safe? I have some spins, yeah, some tricks.

That brings some attitude, right?

Yes. But a nice attitude, not... Exactly.

All right, you girls are wonderful. Thank you so much, and I wish you luck.

Thank you. Thank you.

Are we missing more girls?

How many of them? There's supposed to be like 25 or 30.

25 or 30.

We got like 10. I'm missing like half of the girls. Where are they?

Hey, this time, what TV show is this? Well, we're live in Miami TV right now.

you can actually download our app, Miami TV, and you can see yourself.

Okay. Right now.

I will do it right now.

You guys, it's free. Don't forget, you can download it and watch it anywhere in

the world.

Is it going to be on YouTube?

Sure, we'll put it on YouTube. Why not? We'll put it on YouTube so we can see it

afterwards. All right, sounds good.

Hi, guys. How are you doing?

I know you're not supermodels, but still, you're part of the event, so

interviewing everybody.

Everybody's beautiful tonight. How are you? Oh, thank you.

You should be part of the event as well. You should be in the runway.

I don't think so.

Hey, there's, you know, there's people for everything, you know?

Absolutely. We're just here to have a little bit of fun.

But whatever that was, I'll take it as something good.

What's your name? Colin, how are you? Colin, what's your name?

Amanda. And you?

Frederick. Where are you guys from?

I'm from Ontario, Canada.

Did you come all the way up here?

Just for this.

I just said, did you drive? I'm sure you want to drive just for this.

You flew here just for this. Did you guys follow this pageantry?

We've been here all week just vacationing.

Is it a coincidence that you're here?

No, we were invited.

So we got an invite, so it's good.

What do you think a girl should have to win a pageant?

She should be smart, pretty.

Smart and pretty.

That's a good way to say it. I think that they should be a woman and they

be smart and, you know, loving and very intelligent. I

like her answer better.

She's doing a good job. That's why I told you you should be up there.

All right, guys. Thank you so much. And the girls are getting ready. So have

fun. Bye -bye.

Alright guys, so you guys follow the girls and I'll see you in a little bit.

Hola, ¿cómo estás?

Hace mucho tiempo que no te vemos. Sí, hace tiempo estaba en Los Ángeles

trabajando mucho.

Hay que trabajar, hay que trabajar.

Sí, exacto. Pero veo que estás de jueza.

Sí, soy jueza hoy.

¿Vas a estar estricta o liviana? Bueno, yo como estoy en la industria

cinematográfica, soy bastante estricta.

Because everyone is strict with me.

If not the two, then it's like it doesn't have value what ends up winning.

Exactly. I look at many things, not only the physique, but how it is handled,

how the gestures, everything.

The pose, of course, the body is important.

Well, have you talked to them?

No, eso iba ahora. Voy a ver si conozco un par de las chicas. ¿Si tú hablaste

con algunas?

Sí, pudimos hablar más o menos como con 10 de ellas además, pero estaban

haciendo el meet and greet.

Te tengo que decir que está difícil.

Sí, hay muchas bonitas. Muy nice.

Everybody is super bubbly and good personality.

Usually when you go to pageants it's a little bit difficult because you have

that... Kind of like, not that everybody stuck up, but a little bit, you know?

No, these girls are super humble, super cool.

Yo estuve en la del año pasado y fue muy difícil. Había unas chicas hermosas,

pero espectaculares.

Tengo que ver qué onda hoy. Ya puedes ir atrás y les haces un hello, cómo están,

y a ver cómo te reaccionan. Chequear, chequear.

Bueno, eres mujer, así que te van a dejar pasar. Sí, sí, claro, ¿no?

I'm not a lesbian, but I love it. I admire the body of the woman.

And I love to look.

And by the way, you're beautiful.

I think they're calling everybody in the front.

I thought you hated our camera.

He always goes around because he doesn't want to come out of camera.

All right, we have another judge here.

Hello. Hi there, how are you? I see you're very subtle here in the corner,

hanging out. I'm just waiting for someone.

Okay, that explains it all. What's your name? Dave.

Dave, and you're a judge tonight as well? I'm a judge, yeah.

How many judges do we have tonight?

I think 15, I'm not too sure.

Really? That's a lot of judges. Actually.

I hope it's not that many because there's like 30 girls.

I actually have no idea, but I think I heard 15 from a various rumor. I'm not

too sure. Well, that would be very exciting because, I mean, have you

before? No, I haven't. I'm a first -timer here.

You're a first -timer, okay. Do you know if you guys get together afterwards and

pick one?

I have no idea.

I mean, a lot of drinks are flowing, so I'm sure that it's going to be a lot of

10s. I don't know. I don't know.

Most of the girls are 10s, I've got to tell you. They are. They are very

Have you talked to any of them? I've talked to most of them, yes, and they

very attractive and have great...

personalities. It's typical, right? It does, it does. I know one of them, so I

don't know.

I don't know if you should have said that. Is that going to affect the

No, not at all.

We're good.

Thank you very much. I hope you have a good night. Good luck, by the way.

Alright. No, no, no.

Hello.

Okay.

Hello.

Thank you very much.

All right, girls. Or guys.

Girls and guys.

We are going to have the pageant right here. So, what statement?

The girls have, number one, they have to have class.

Very good.

All right. So, how do you look?

What do you look for that?

Well, class, smart, and beauty.

All right. But is there like a certain act that they have to do to show you

they have class?

Because remember, you're only seeing them for a little bit.

I know, but when you get with them... The way they walk, maybe?

Yes. The way they move their hands?

He knows what he's looking for in a girl. He knows what he's looking for in

girl.

Hi guys. Hi. How are you?

Good, thanks.

How are you?

Hi, I'm very good, thank you.

The light's coming over here, the light's coming over here.

So, are you guys all judges?

How many judges are there, do you know?

I don't have a clue, but... I believe it's over 20.

That is a lot of judges. I don't think I've ever seen that many judges in a

pageantry, so it must be very, very important.

It's very normal for Tropic Beauty to have that many judges.

So you guys probably know, after this, what happens? One girl goes to Vegas,

then... And they duke it out in Vegas to become the Miss Tropic Beauty for the

year. And then I shoot the calendar there.

And then, yeah. Exciting.

You must love your job. It's horrible.

But, you know. Man. Now, you're a guy and you're shooting the calendar. I'm

the girls are involved as well, right?

Calendar. Yeah.

So what do you look for in a girl?

Well, you got to have a beautiful smile.

She has to have a great personality. And, of course, she has to be beautiful.

All right. There you have it. So everybody's right on. The judges are

I like it. I'm not letting you slide, though.

How are you?

Very good. Yourself? What's your name?

Zetan. Zetan. Where are you from?

Well, I'm from Chicago.

I'm a hairstylist. I was going to say France, because that name is French to

Yeah. French?

No, I'm not French, you know.

Where are you from?

Okay, yeah, I'm from Chicago, but I'm European, you know. Yeah, background,

yeah. I knew it. I told you. Really? Because of the accent?

No, it's the name.

Oh. Jethon. You should make like a perfume after you. That's a very nice

That's my brand, you know. That's my brand, you know. Ah, okay. So he's doing

two in one here. Publicity as well.

Yeah. Jethon.

Thank you so much. Have a good day. Hey, my pleasure.

Bueno, los que tienen el trabajo más difícil de todos son justamente los que

están aquí sentados, porque hay chicas muy lindas y la verdad que la

está muy fuerte.

A ver, hablemos un poco con la gente que está aquí sentada. Vamos a

representarles a ustedes una persona también que está en el medio, así que,

¿cómo estás?

Bueno, I don't speak Spanish.

You don't speak Spanish? Oh my God, I thought I heard you. I thought I heard

speak Spanish.

Remind me your name?

Joe Rubo.

Joe Rubio, and you do VIP TV? Yes, executive producer of VIP TV.

All right, so tell everybody what VIP TV is.

VIP TV is a South Florida lifestyle TV show.

We cover all the hot red carpet events in South Florida, and we put it on

network television.

There you go. So what do you think about this event? Is this making the cut?

A lot of fun. Really good. We were here last year, and they're great. I'm

honored to be a judge today.

Another judge?

Yeah, it's a lot. What are you looking for the girls?

Just, you know, they're all really cool girls. I know a lot of them. They've

worked with us before, and, you know, it's fun. I'm glad they asked me to

Now, I'm thinking about that.

Is it okay that you know the girls? Is that going to affect your judging? I

didn't know that I knew the girls until I seen them.

I've gotten with them so much.

No, no, no.

You're going to be professional. Very professional.

You know what I mean? It's like putting a kid in a candy store.

No, it's going to be a lot of fun. I'm glad we're here.

Thank you so much. Have a good night. Thank you very much.

Hello.

Testing.

One, two, three.

I think it's working.

Well, I wanted to get Kimberly over here because she's the one that, you know,

put all the networking together.

I got to have you on my camera, baby. Come on.

You are a big part of this event, and you're the one that made it happen. So

are you, beautiful? Hi, I'm great. How are you?

Kimberly is the one doing all the networking, I would say.

Yes, I've done a lot to do with production, with Hot in the City events

promotions. We're a PR company. We do social media.

And this is our second year with Miss Tropic Beauty.

That's a lot of work, I've got to tell you. I've got to hand it to you. You did

a great job. Thank you so much. And see you with the plays. Faith is very high

class. Thank you. We're happy to have you guys here, too. Thank you so much.

Thank you. All right, well, did you have a say in choosing the judges also?

This is Erica Stowers. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Nice to meet you.

And you are a judge as well? Uh -huh, Erica Sowers. Yes, I'm a judge here.

happy to sponsor my friend, Kimberly.

So what are we looking for in the girls? I mean, you have already a winner right

here next to you.

I'm a former.

I'm a former.

You're a former winner? Former. Well, Miss Hawaiian Tropic, but now Miss

Beauty.

Miss Tropic Beauty, how long has it been in business for?

15 years, but this is the fifth year in the past for the model search.

So did you get a chance to meet the girls already?

I did. I got a chance to talk to the girls, meet the girls, find out some

personality. Very nice. Yeah, I'm very excited.

I think that the first part when they were outside talking to everybody,

part of the judging as well, right? Absolutely.

I'm judging the whole time from the second I walked in. You have to. All

well, thank you so much. Have an amazing evening. Thank you. We also have... We

talked to her. We got her already in the front. Thank you.

All right, guys, you have a tough job for tonight.

Everybody's on the phone. It's Miami.

I mean, it's the United States.

Technology just kind of takes over. I was just trying to see what time it was.

So, okay, so I guess I don't get a chance to talk to you.

Okay, yeah.

All right,

I guess they're walking over here.

I'll get a chance to talk to them later, I guess.

He's like, you still haven't talked to me.

Let's go over here.

Let's talk to some of the guys. How are you?

We're good.

What's your name?

Prospero. And you?

Dwayne. And you can be part of it as well. I don't want to kick you out.

Now we have a chocolate cookie.

You have an Oreo.

I'm sorry?

Now we have an Oreo.

You should be in the middle.

All right, so.

We're actually just discussing your wardrobe.

It's actually substantial.

I mean, it's a nice thing. It's not like a wardrobe malfunction.

It actually goes together. I thought, you know, we were missing more, but I

the way you're going with this. It's the whole fashion. Oh, you're talking about

me? No, we're always talking about you.

We're definitely talking about you.

Yeah,

well, this is our style.

So, you know, it's a matter of just saying, hey, respect everybody no matter

what.

We've done this for five years, and it's worked, so what do you think?

Watching you on TV, it's nice to see you in person.

So I look the same? You're on my Facebook as well.

Facebook nowadays.

God, you've got to be really careful with that.

Instagram, everything.

Everything's about social media these days.

So did you guys see the girls already?

Oh, yeah, all night.

It's a little bit intimidating, right? There's so many of them, so pretty.

Everybody has, like, really bubbly personalities?

Very nice personalities as well. Have you ever been to a pageant?

Oh, this is one of my first as far as here in South Dakota. Your first time as

well?

Many, many, many.

Usually in pageants, you know, you don't really get a chance to meet the girls

one -to -one like you guys did. So does that maybe change your perspective on

how pageant girls are?

Because normally you see them on TV and, you know, you're like, oh, okay, she's

pretty, but does she have the personality?

Right, right. All of them have a very nice personality.

And they agree to this as well. well.

So now you're all for pageants? All day. All day.

All day.

Since this is what happens in Miami.

Absolutely. You have more, right? I'm from Pennsylvania, so hey.

You don't have pageants there?

Not like this.

Not like this? How are they?

This is Miami.

Okay, I guess it's Miami. That makes it hotter, right? I've had it since I was

six years old.

I miss America, I miss the universe and everything.

It's a pleasure to be here.

Say hi to Miami TV.

Have fun, guys. Bye.

I

don't

speak Spanish, I'm sorry. I don't speak Spanish either.

I don't speak any Spanish, though.

I'm speaking in English now. Okay, how you doing?

I'm bilingual.

Thank you so much. I love your shirt. It's, you know, popping. I know. I'm

everybody wearing black in here. I don't understand.

Like a funeral in here.

Oh, don't say that.

Is it?

I'm the only one with color on.

Black? Friends are wearing black. I know. It's like the mob in here or

something. What do you think of the girls so far?

Beautiful girls.

Beautiful girls. Have you seen one that you might say, hey, that girl might win?

Yeah, the white angel. Yeah. She got a little cape in the back. Yeah, she's

beautiful though. I didn't get a chance to see her. All right. Say hi to Miami

TV. How you doing, Miami TV?

Hello.

Hello. Are you going to a funeral?

What? Are you going to a funeral?

No. I said that because he said it, okay? It's on my phone. It's a colorful.

Why do you say colorful? I like that, though. We're in Miami, you know?

Yeah. So what's your name?

Nick. Nick. Is this your first time in a pageant?

No. No. Okay, so you're used to it. Yes.

You're used to seeing the girls in bikinis and really nice gowns. Yes.

Since you are not new at this, what do you think really influences on the girl

when you call her a winner?

They look beautiful.

That's it? Just beautiful?

Also beautiful.

So no personality, no nothing?

Hey, at least he's honest. I got to give it to him.

Thank you for your bluntness. Thank you. Say hi to Miami TV.

VIP TV.

Miami TV. Oh, you are with VIP.

I am VIP TV.

So we just spoke to one of your guys. That's my brother, Joe.

I should have been in the interview with her. VIP TV, Miami TV, we're all

covering Miami.

All right.

Hello. Hi, how are you? So there's a few people here, and they're all guys. I'm

so surprised. No, not really. There's so many girls here, you know. Yeah, it's a

very nice night. Are you here to admire the women?

No. Yeah.

Sí. Mejor español quizás, ¿no?

Yeah. ¿De dónde eres? México.

Mexicano. ¿Y viniste solo con amigos? Con mis amigos de VIP también.

Ah, ¿están todos juntos?

Yeah, sí.

Pero muy bonita noche, muy buen evento.

Se ven talentosas también.

Como yo. Bueno, muchas gracias. Lo aprecio mucho. Salud a Miami TV.

Miami TV.

Muy buen evento. Buenas noches. Gracias.

All right, guys.

So I guess this should be about to start. It is 9 -10 right now. So we're

going to continue, I guess, interview the rest. Oh, he's pointing at you. I'm

like, that's Ramsey.

So you're always on our camera. So I guess tell us, this is the first pageant

that you host here, right? Yes, it's our first.

What do you think so far?

So far, so good. I think one.

The night takes off. It's still a little early.

It'll be a great night. I can't wait to see the contestants and see who wins it.

Miami people are nocturnal. You know that. I know. You come out like at 2 a

I'm used to it. I became like that, too.

I'm surprised. Like I said last time, you're always here, so you're making

all this works.

Absolutely. I have to. If you don't oversee your own operation, it's never

to be what you want it to be. I'm surprised you're not one of the judges.

I am.

I'm on the back.

I give my feedback through the back channels.

But I'm sure your thought is very influential on the judges. I just can't

tied down to a seat.

I think that'll be good. I think you're good at it.

I think you'd be a good judge.

You have a good eye for marketing.

I really do. I think I know already the winner, but I will tell you later.

Wait a second. That's not allowed.

It's my opinion.

glass everybody's clapping that's the way you should do you know when you

a glass don't cry clap happiness all right well thank you so much have a

No. We just got here.

You missed them. They're not coming out anymore.

I'm worried about that. I'm like, are we here on time?

So, let's say the truth. Women, we like to look at other women. Yes.

sure. Like somebody said earlier.

If they're good, they're hanging out. They're having a good time.

Hey, so you guys are women. What do you look for in a woman if she has to win a

pageant? You know, she's got to make us proud.

Swag.

How would you translate that into Spanish?

How do you translate swag in Spanish?

Caliente.

Caliente.

Caliente.

What's up, guys? How are you doing?

You're the quiet ones.

Do you guys think that's good enough? The swag is good enough? It has

personality.

I think it's all about personality.

You can be as hot as you want, but if you suck, you suck.

If you don't have swag, you don't have swag.

If you don't have personality, you don't have personality.

It's a little bit difficult because they're just walking, you know? I mean,

do you... If you can't be yourself, you can't be yourself.

That's it.

Because it's all about being yourself.

That's what sexy is.

Really? That's true. He's actually right.

You know, once you feel confident about yourself, you work it. How would you

work a runway?

I would just walk down.

Let me see you do it.

Would you walk down with me? Let's go.

You got to put some attitude, okay? Ready? You got it? Go.

You want to be my boyfriend?

Your boyfriend?

I think I got him nervous. That was pretty nice.

And then you got to walk with me like this.

And you got to walk.

We're doing, we're doing like.

Is that how we do it in Miami? And we got to like, you know, I guess.

I mean, I would do it more like.

I would do it more like, you know, like you got to.

He's booty dancing to our camera.

I think, I think one of your friends, maybe.

I think he killed it.

Somebody teach him how to walk a runway.

Who goes next?

You

can't

take it. You can't take it.

Wait, start over there.

I'm asking him, you know, how do you walk a runway?

You definitely know how to walk a runway. Very slowly and very carefully.

Very slowly and very carefully.

I don't have high heels.

I don't have high heels. Show us how a male should model.

Not me. Wrong guy.

But you got class. I can do a lot of stuff, but that won't be one of them.

I don't know.

We're live. You can't really do much about it. All right, come on.

Go.

Where are you going?

You got to show that.

He's like, look, he's like showing me.

Let's do it again. Come on.

This is our moment, okay?

I didn't want to be famous. I'm good. Are you ready?

One, two, attitude.

Go.

She's doing a good job.

I got to say, if one of the girls did that, I would definitely pick her.

That whole thing going, that means you guys... It's first night. It's first

night. What? That is my swag.

What do you mean, squat?

She does exercise?

Like, squatting exercise?

No, okay.

He wanted me to show him how to exercise.

Well, we'll leave you guys alone, then.

We're going to continue to the other side of the street. We'll talk to more

people. Do you want to walk the runway?

I'm not walking the runway.

You guys are great. Have a good night. Thank you.

I love when the person gets that look, you know, where they...

Don't want to go on camera, but they're stuck.

I can't do anything about it already.

What's your name? Michelle.

Michelle, you're very pretty. Have you been in pageants? Thank you. Long time

ago.

You're the perfect person to ask what you're looking for a girl when she's in

pageant to win.

Well, for me, it's about the look, but also personality.

And I think the personality, if you're really, really good, it shines through

without you even saying a word.

I feel like your walk says a lot about your personality. Absolutely.

I haven't seen any of the girls actually, like, you know, like, have too

fun. Everybody's just walking. But do you think that maybe if they, like...

Rocked it out to the music. It might help them out. Absolutely.

You've got to have fun with this.

It's not Miss America.

You've got to have fun. You know what I mean?

Music on. I don't know.

You've got a good crowd. What more do you want?

Are you here by yourself or are you here to judge? I'm here with a friend who's

one of the judges.

You better make good choices.

Tell them I said that. I will.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

How are you doing?

Wonderful. How are you?

I mean, you're the next one on the line, so sorry.

It's your turn. And then whoever doesn't want, you know, to be on camera,

they'll just start, like, running away. It'll happen very quick. You'll see it.

People are very fast by getting away with the camera. I just happen to not

That's what it is. No, you're good. You're good. What's your name?

Kenny Rowland.

Kenny? Kenny Rowland. Kenny Rowland. And how are you liking the girls?

I like them a lot. Very nice, yeah.

What's going on with bikinis? Is that, like, something that the guys are

for? Is that why you came here, to see the girls in bikinis?

Of course. We're always waiting for bikinis. Absolutely.

Now, we're asking everybody, what do you think a girl has to have to actually

win a pageant?

Be honest. Stage presence.

You can be as pretty as you want to be, but having a stage presence is going to

show. How would that look?

Confident, sexy, but not... Let's see it.

Oh, not me. I'm not even... I had to have my bikini on first.

If I have my bikini, I can do it.

Your bikini on, everything...

I'm okay. What? Yeah.

All right. Well, say hi to Miami TV.

Hello. How are you doing? Thank you so much. Have fun tonight.

How are you? Great.

How are you? Do you speak Spanish?

He does.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yeah. Where are you from?

Cuba. Bueno. And where are you from?

I'm from here, down in Florida.

From here? That sounds so exciting.

No, because normally in Miami, everybody's Spanish.

I think that we're taking over.

I have a Spanish friend.

I know. He's in a supermarket and everything is in Spanish.

You should be mad.

I am.

He'll teach you. I think you'll do a good job. No, it's not working.

So, Tropic Beauty, how do you think it's going? Good?

Yeah, it's a good time.

You know, we know a lot of girls in here.

Why not? I had some dreams, a lot of hot chicks. I'm happy.

The bikini part is coming up.

Are you excited to see that? Would you actually pick a girl just from seeing

walk, or do you have to see her in a bikini?

You girls can hide a lot on us.

That is true. I saw some of them wearing longer dresses.

They should have the same dress for everybody, you know?

I agree with that. They usually have the same suits, don't they?

Yeah,

they do.

And dresses usually, too. I think we should have a different dress so they

show their style.

That's what you should do. It comes down to your personality, right? Exactly.

I like where you're going. He has a notion of this, at least.

When you have a swimsuit, it can be the same, but with the dress, at least, it

shows something different.

Well, and I think you want a Cuban to win, right?

Of course.

What does a Cuban girl have that all the rest of the girls don't? Everything

that the other ones are trying to buy.

What? Everything that the other ones are trying to buy.

Wait, what?

A Cuban girl has everything that all the other ones are trying to buy.

Oh. Okay, okay.

Sorry, it's loud in here.

Ay, ay, ay. Well, Matt, what do you like better, natural or fake?

Natural is always great, but sometimes you've got to perk it up.

You agree? I don't discriminate.

Whatever comes around.

Él no discrimina. Él dice, las cubanas tienen lo que las demás quieren comprar.

All right, guys.

Have a good night, and you're awesome. Thank you.

Pleasure. Thank you. Sorry.

Bueno, continuamos por aquí.

Vamos a hablar con la gente que está por aquí para... Hi, guys.

Hi. It looks like you're in love.

Oh, yeah, maybe.

A couple years.

But if you're here, you know, talking mellow, hanging out, and you have that

spark in your eyes.

A lot of what?

We're spectating. Spectating? What do you think of the girls so far?

I think they're really impressive. Everybody looks very good.

Yep. Do you have a favorite one, or... Well, we're here to support number one.

That's your friend.

Is it number one or number two? No, it's just...

Yeah, Chelsea.

Should we show you around for the right one? Yeah, there we go. Chelsea.

It might get confusing after a while. There's so many of them. I know. There

a little more than I expected, but everybody does really well, I feel.

What do you think really has to stand out in a pageant?

Well, in this particular pageant, I would say your body.

What? Are we not getting enough of their personality? I mean, come on.

I'm learning a lot about their favorite cocktails, so that's weird. Yeah, that's

true. And their food.

Yep. That's what they do.

Usually it's those three things that they ask.

What do you do?

I work in sales.

Would you dare to go up in a pageant?

I would, but not... I would one night. I think you should. I think you got it.

Thanks. All right, well, thank you so much. Take care of her.

Thank you very much.

Have fun, guys. Bye.

So the girls are bikinis. We're all excited.

Is that bikini time now? It's bikini time. That's what I've been waiting for.

It's bikini time.

He's so awesome.

How are you?

How are you?

What's your name?

Rachel. Rachel. So like we were saying to Ramsey, it is bikini time.

It is bikini time. That's the best time, right? I would say this is, like, the

most difficult time.

Or is it where we draw the line?

No.

Very good.

Because I'm like, I ask everybody, I'm like, do you have to see a lady in a

bikini for them to actually win? Some people said yes.

You know, and I guess in this kind of pageant, yes.

But in life, no.

You have to really look at how they show themselves.

That's right.

I agree.

That's where everything is, you know.

I met one of them, and I just liked her for her personality.

You liked her? Yeah.

Which number?

I'm not telling.

What? I'm not telling. Why? Is she winning? I don't know.

All right.

Everybody has a favorite one already. All right. Thank you so much. You're

welcome. Have a good night.

Hello.

Hi. How are you? He's so serious. This is like the second time we run into him,

and he's like, you're running away from my camera.

Well, I can't help it. I'm too shy.

Yeah, right. I don't think you're shy.

Yeah, of course I'm shy.

So, what's your name?

Alan. You can say a fake one.

Alan? No, no, Alan.

What do you think of the girl so far? I need to know my real name.

Alan, very nice to meet you.

I'm shy. I'm intimidated by you.

What? I'm shy because I'm intimidated by you. Oh, no.

Don't be. Not at all.

I am a very simple person.

All right, so what do you think of the girl so far?

Lovely, beautiful young women.

Yeah. You think we're getting enough of their personalities?

That's all right. Do you think we're getting to know them enough, or would

like to have them, like, talk, or I don't know?

I would like them to talk a little bit. You know, our personality is very

important, you know? I appreciate beauty as much as the next guy, but something

about personality, you know? You want to hear them speak their mind.

I definitely have too much.

Because then it'll ruin it?

Well, you know, it depends.

I'm kidding. You guys are doing great, by the way. All right, say hi to Miami

TV. Hello, Miami TV.

I do agree with them. I think that they should, you know, let them maybe speak

for like, you know, five seconds.

I'm working here.

Exactly. Five seconds, I can.

Five seconds, you know, say something and that's it.

How are you guys?

I'm enjoying myself immensely.

Everybody is, right? It's a wonderful night. Especially men.

Men seem to be enjoying themselves more than women. I don't know why that is. I

wonder why. I would think the women would be just as hot, enjoying

I see a lot of smiles on the women, so I think they're entirely enjoying

themselves. Actually, most of the women, you know, like I spoke to some of them,

and they said, women like to look at women, you know, and it's very true.

We admire beautiful bodies.

Absolutely, and we all do.

What do you think a girl has to have to win a pageant?

I think the total package.

I think physique, personality, a good attitude, and a

stage presence.

The stage presence, if you have the presence out there, it sends off a good

vibe. Very good. How about you? Same thing? I think a beautiful smile and a

personality and, of course, a body to suit.

I guess that's the whole package, right? Sure.

Would you guys maybe like them to speak a little, or is that enough, just seeing

them walk the runway?

Just to see them walk the runway, the vibe in the club, everybody's having a

good time.

Yes, absolutely.

All right, guys, have fun. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thank you.

I

called

you Rico Suave because you have, like, this look, you know, like, getting out

the bar.

You have a sensual look.

Thank you.

What's your name?

Juan. Juan, habla español, ¿no?

Poquito, mucho.

Juan, tienes una mirada demasiado intrigante. Sí.

Estás pensando algo y no quieres que la gente sepa. Bueno,

¿estás aquí solo?

Sí, claro.

¿Viniste para las chicas o viniste porque pasaste por aquí y querías tomar

Por las dos.

Por las dos.

Oh, okay. ¿Tienes alguna chica en particular que te guste?

Me parecen todas hermosas.

¿Y qué es lo que buscas en una chica?

Pero más hermosa que tú no hay.

No hay, no hay.

Oh my God, thank God. Pineapple juice, cheers.

I'm like, my mouth was already drying.

Es que me tenían trabajando aquí como una mona, a ver.

No vale.

No, mentira.

I love what I do. I wouldn't be anywhere else.

Well, I guess

now we gotta wait for the girls to go in bikinis and

that would be about it for now. We have some people hanging out over here.

Hello. Hello.

Yes, it's a bright light that came to haunt you.

How are you? What's your name? Very good. Natalia.

Natalia, where are you from?

I'm from Czech Republic.

Czech Republic.

There's somebody in the bathroom.

So now we know. Are you screaming your heart out for her so she wins? I'm

to be quiet, but my heart is going crazy.

If she wins, she's going to Las Vegas without you.

Are you going along?

You want to get in the trip?

You're not going to miss her? You're going to miss her.

Yeah, definitely.

You think she's doing a good job?

Yeah. Very pretty, your daughter. Congratulations.

Thank you. All right, have a good night. Thank you.

Well, her daughter is also here enjoying, so well.

We're going to give them a break, right?

No, actually, I just got here at home. Let's see. You just got here. So you

no idea what the girls look like. You haven't talked to them yet.

So what are you looking for in a girl?

I'm just looking to see it and have fun and enjoy it.

Looking at the body?

For the girls in the pageant? No, the whole package.

That's what I wanted to hear. You got to look at the whole package.

All right.

Thank you. Have fun. Bye.

Thank you.

Ay, Dios mio.

Bueno, ya estamos por...

Her friend ran away.

Thank you.

Y es como le dije a la otra mamá, se va para La Vega la niña sola.

¿Qué vas a hacer? No, va conmigo.

¿Qué tal atrás?

Atrás.

Muchas gracias.

Gracias, mi amor. Muy linda. Gracias. Gracias.

There's two moms here, and I'm like, so you're just going to let your daughters

go to Las Vegas? They're like, no, no, no. I'm going with her. So she's not

going to her. All right, guys. We're going to take a short break, and then

come back with you guys.

We're going to come back to you guys later.

You know, we pretty much, I think, interviewed everybody in here, so stay

and let's just wait for the girls to come out in bikinis. We'll see you in a

little while. I hope you're having fun, at least.

I think we've interviewed most of the people, but if anyone else shows up,

interview them. Anyway, we'll leave it here until the girls come in bikinis,

okay? Bye -bye.

Chelsea's 5 '0". She likes rock climbing and working out.

She has a very nice body.

They're going, oh my God, so that must be good.

This is going to be a fun table to talk to.

Everybody's focusing their eyes on the butt.

It's so funny.

Well, we're not looking at the face anymore?

No.

They're like, no.

I'm asking him, we're not looking at each other's faces anymore, right? He

no, we're not looking at each other's faces anymore.

I gotta say, I love the confidence on the girls. It's great.

a little bit more excited than they're supposed to.

Let's see if we get it right this time They're adorable

I'm sitting here for a while. Hope you guys are really enjoying this.

I love that everybody has a different opinion on the girls. I love that

everybody has a different opinion on the girls.

What else do you remember?

So she is Tessie, the lover, and entertaining.

That is number 8, Tessie.

Tessie, Tessie, Tessie is going to be in third place.

And at number 9 is Jessie O, from General Beach, and she is 5 '5".

Five initials, inspiring and hilarious.

Some of the judges are just like, they look at them once and it's like, okay,

I'll give you an eight, I'll give you a seven, I'll give you a ten. Very fast.

That's what I call classy.

You can tell, right, by the walk?

A lot of people were looking for Clasta. I think that girl is the one who had

the most Clasta, at least while walking.

That's the loud table we interviewed earlier.

She

knows

how to walk, too.

Very essential and very classy.

What did it say in the back?

All right, so I guess everybody's getting numbers, and maybe at the end

add in the math.

I mean, none of the judges really knew how to do it, so I'm guessing since

everybody's getting numbers, they're just going to add them up and see who

the higher ranking.

I think at the end of the day, what they're going to do is add all the

and see who has the most points, because most of the judges didn't know how they

were going to do it at the end. So that's my idea, since all the girls are

giving them a number, right?

Her

mom's

very proud of her.

What is the number?

The number says she is cute.

Classy and cute.

And the number one woman.

We're going to give a seat there, Vicki Carroll.

From Coal Beach.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

the wonk on the first one.

What are you guys doing? Are you adding the numbers up and then whoever gets the

highest score?

Yes, we're adding the numbers up. Whoever gets the highest score wins.

Did you just make that up like totally?

No, it's not. No,

it's not a beauty contest. It's about a couple different things. You know what I

mean? Sure.

Alright, so we are adding the points up and I guess whoever gets the highest

point at the end wins.

Finally, somebody gave us some answers.

But it seems that they are going to add the points and in the end they are going

to see who wins.

So she won last year, so she's hoping to win again this year. She won last year

and she's hoping to win again this year.

Puerto Rican.

I like her. She's bubbly.

She starts a song that's motivated out of the womb and an electric.

That's number 19, Any Booze.

She has a very pretty face and a fit body

I

like her

So somebody asked me the other day, you know, how tall do you have to be to be

in pageants or modeling?

Most of these girls are five -something, so they have like six -inch heels.

So see, you can see that when it comes to pageants, you know, you can be any

height as long as you have the personality and the look.

At least somebody did something fun, right?

She's bubbly too. I like bubbly girls.

Oh, he's looking a little shy.

Oh, my God.

Thank you.

All right, so that's pretty much up there for pictures. I'm guessing this is

last phase, and then, you know, they're going to go ahead and pick a winner. So

the judges pretty much, you know, if you're, like, breaking it down to two,

is, I guess, the time where you want to switch around the numbers and see who

you like better than the other one. I'm not really sure.

But I guess there's a lot of, you know, there's a big competition and a lot of

pretty girls, you know.

But like we always say, you know, it's not all about beauty.

Now they're coming to

you.

I like 1, 9, and 11.

I like 1,

9,

and 11.

Now you're picking a favorite number.

Like,

now we're coming down to calling people as a number.

Pick your favorite number.

1, 2, 23!

And he's just going around in a circle.

I'm not the only one.

Until one actually decides to lead the way.

All right.

So this is the last time for the judges to make a call?

Go get her.

All right, well,

what's your name? Nicole. Nicole?

Yes. Where are you from?

Minnesota, but I live in Fort Lauderdale.

Fort Lauderdale. And apparently you are now the face for gold.

Yeah. What is it?

Okay, so.

Hey, it's spontaneous, all right?

Cut and continue.

VIP TV and Miami TV.

You should say it. No, no, she's got it. Gold 500. I'll interview you after.

Okay, gold 500.

Hey.

Okay, now we're fighting. Okay, so Gold 500, VIP TV.

Gold 500, VIP TV, and Miami TV.

She did it. High five.

You're all in.

All right, now go over there and get them out so they don't fight.

I want to talk to you.

That was delightful, by the way.

No problem.

What's your name?

Maritza Bedoya.

I've seen you dancing before at events. You're so outgoing.

You're a people person.

But now you're judging.

And like you said, you're the only lesbian woman judging.

So is it difficult?

No, not at all.

Why not? I think what's most important is personality, and you can see it

through. Do you think the walk has a lot to do with it? I'm sorry? Do you think

their walk has a lot to do with it?

Absolutely. When you are secure, you show it all the time.

So how many girls would you say that you gave a 10 to?

I can't hear you. How many girls would you say that you gave a 10 to?

Two. Just two?

Oh, wow, you're very picky.

That's good, though.

I hope that one of those two win. I know women.

You know one of them?

No, I know women in general very well.

I'm sure you do.

All right, thank you so much. It's a pleasure.

I'm still in them before you take them, okay?

All right, girls.

Hi, hi.

Okay, you take those two, and I'll take this one, okay?

So you guys are going to be like, everybody's going to be all over you

the cameras and everything. So, yeah, I'm going to get you.

So what's your name? My name's Brandy. All right, so do you think you did a

job? Oh,

one of the judges. Do you think she did a good job?

Oh, yeah, she did an awesome job.

She did an awesome job? What number did you give her? Every girl did amazing.

It's all being part of it, and that's all that matters, you know?

And to me, it's like, you know, winning doesn't define that you're the best or

the worst.

Being part of it is everything, what it's all about.

Well, thank you. You're welcome.

Now I'm going to talk to you.

Thank you. I guess he wanted to take a picture, and yeah, he took our spot.

wasn't nice.

So, would you do something different, or no?

I forgot my favorite lip gloss, so I would have brought the other one.

Are you a lucky lip gloss?

I like it. I've had it for years, so yeah.

What do you think of the crowd? Were they supportive, or would you have

like, more cheering? I don't know. It was very quiet and mellow. It was nice.

That way you weren't kind of, like, thrown off, you know.

If somebody yells at you, you're like, oh.

Yeah, a lot of people were trying to get you to, like, say something on their

camera or something.

Don't do that, you guys. That's not very nice.

She caught taking a picture with your mouse, like.

Nobody did that, so you guys did good. You stayed professional.

All right, say hi to Miami TV.

Hi, Miami TV.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Bueno, así que, como siempre.

Sorry about that.

Where are you going?

Right here. Okay.

They're all just running around, so we're trying to catch them, snatch them

they go. What's your name?

My name is Ivana. I love it because I'm getting the girls that we didn't

interview earlier, so this is right on. Where are you from?

I'm originally from Serbia, Eastern Europe.

Serbia? Yes. I was going to say you were Cuban or something.

Yeah, everybody thinks I'm Latin, so that's why in Miami it works perfectly

me. I can play any role.

You got the, like, Latin curves.

Well, thank you.

You know how to salsa?

Yes, I do. I dance. I choreograph.

I can do everything.

Now, you're very bubbly. I think we saw that on the runway.

Would you have done something different?

No.

I like my bubbliness. I like being cute.

I'm very natural. I'm very comfortable.

I designed my own bikinis.

I love animals.

Give me a little turn.

All right, well, I think you did great. Thank you so much. And you were one of

my favorites, by the way. Thank you. Thank you so much. Bye, Miami TV.

Bye. Thank you, guys.

All righty. So, hi. Hi, how are you? Good, how are you? I'm good. So, you

are going crazy because everybody's trying to, like, take you away, right?

Here, come over here.

I got her. She's mine, okay?

What's your name again?

Kristen. Kristen, where are you from?

Cocoa Beach, Palm Bay area.

Cocoa Beach? You're the second girl from Cocoa Beach, no?

Are you? There's a lot of us from there. Cocoa Beach, Palm Bay, Melbourne. We

have quite a few girls. Is there a lot of pageantries there?

No, none. So we always travel to like Tampa, Miami.

So a lot of them get ready together and travel over here. Sometimes we carpool,

yeah. Is there any catfights, you know, back there? We're all actually like

really good friends. Like I love coming to these events because it's...

A great way to meet a lot of people. Family, right? Yeah. So when somebody

are you like, eh, or does it go well? I'm not going to lie. I'm very

competitive. I'm a tomboy, and I get angry. I've gotten third every single

So is that something that you would have done different, maybe?

It's all, like, preference. Like, people, like, it's what the judges want

day. So some days. And everybody has mood swings, you know? Yep, exactly.

All right, well, thank you so much. Thank you.

Bueno, vamos a jalar con esa chica que está por aquí también.

I think you did awesome.

Yeah, thank you.

Except for the beginning where you kept going.

Oh, listen.

I've never done this before, so I'm not sure how it went. I remember you told

me. Yeah, so, but did I milk it for a first timer though? A little bit? A

bit? All right. You made us laugh. The first time, not so good, but the second

time's always good, right? At least you didn't go over the rope.

At least I didn't trip.

At least I didn't trip.

That's, yeah.

Well, I got to say, for the first time, you did really good. Oh, thank you. And

also, then again, it's not really your responsibility. I mean, they should have

had you, like, prepare before, you know, walk it once, right?

I guess so, but as long as I nailed it the second time, I'm happy. I didn't

trip, so thank you, God. I appreciate that.

And the good thing is that you didn't freak out. Yeah. No, no. You just, like,

laughed about it and kept going. Did everybody know that I messed up?

But then again, it's because it was announced loudly over the speakers.

Yes. Oh, wow.

Don't worry.

Sorry. Sorry, Tropic Beauty.

We are in Miami, and this was very spontaneous.

So nobody was like, no problem. You did great. You look great.

Give us a little turn. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Thank you. Give us a little turn before you go.

Thank you so much. You're wonderful. Thank you.

It's time to count.

It is 10 till 11, and I guess somebody just goes ahead and says who wins or who

doesn't. How are you girls?

Hi.

Hi.

Out of the blue, right?

Out of the blue. You caught me off guard.

That's the whole idea.

Right. to really catch you when you're not on stage. Right.

So what's your name? I'm Ashley. Ashley, what's your name?

Yael. Yael?

Yael. You're Peruvian, right?

Peruvian. Peruvian, where are you from?

I'm from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Oh, you're not that far.

You know how the vibe is here. How did you feel tonight?

I felt like it was a lot of fun.

I actually, this is my second time doing a Tropic Beauty contest, and it was my

favorite one so far. So hopefully there's more to come.

I can tell that you were a second timer because your walk was very confident.

Oh, yay.

I can tell the difference in a woman. You know, sometimes they walk a little

fast. Sometimes they walk really central.

And I think that's great, at least for you guys when you're looking.

So, Peru, you're in Miami. How do you feel?

I live in Miami, but I'm from Lima, Peru.

Okay, so, but you're representing, so, you know. I'm representing Peru all the

way. There's not too many Latin girls. Most of you guys are American. I was

surprised, you know. I'm half Latin.

I can see that.

I can't tell.

Well, you got the hips.

That's right. And you got the curve. That's the only way you can tell.

Everybody's very nice. You guys

get along really well. I'm surprised.

We get along perfectly. Like inside, we're getting to know each other.

We have no choice. We have the smallest dressing room in the world. No, I'm just

kidding. Do you get along or bad luck?

I mean, to me, it's pointless to not get along.

You have a very big bra, by the way.

I usually will just turn them on.

All right, well, are you hoping to win, of course?

Thank you. Yes, well, we're basically all thinking about who's going to win.

And whoever wins, you know what? Awesome. Because we're all a team.

Are you allowed to take somebody to L .A. with you or no?

No.

if you could take someone?

I would take somebody.

No, but special?

It would have to be probably either my sister or my mom.

All right, that's very good.

A family woman.

And how about you?

Definitely my best friend, which is my sister.

Very good. All right, girls, thank you so much. Have a great night and good

luck. Thank you.

You were very bad.

He kept telling the girls to stay gold 500.

Not very nice.

Yeah. Hey, they want to interview you at the front, but VIP TV wants to

interview you. Okay, all right. So do you want to take over my job now? No.

What am I supposed to do then?

I can't just, like, stop.

All right, guys, we're going to do a shortcut, and I guess we'll continue

you in a little bit. Vamos a darles un pequeño corte y nos vemos en un ratito,

okay?

Thank you.

I found it.

All right, guys. So we're going to continue. I guess that's where we start.

The girls are having fun, drinking some champagne and hanging out.

So most of the people that are here actually have already interviewed. So I

don't want to go ahead and continue to bother them. But why not? How are you

doing? Again. How are you doing? Again.

So how many favorite now?

Say what? Do you have a favorite now?

Yeah. The blonde had one.

There's a lot of blondes.

I think it's number 10.

They had a Christine, by the way.

Number 10?

Number 10, yeah.

How are you?

I'm good, how are you?

Who did I not interview? Like, none of you, actually, no?

I interviewed you? Yes.

You're very bubbly on stage, on camera.

Are you stuck in on ice?

Okay.

So, what do you, do you guys think you did good?

I'm hoping I did good.

But it's just like crossing the fingers that you don't trip, right? That's like

the worst?

Bring it on, bring it on.

I think you guys had okay bathing suits.

I mean, they were very American.

Only a few of you actually wore Brazilian bikinis.

I didn't see any thongs, though. What happened?

We're not allowed.

We keep it classy.

This is Miami.

You're not allowed to wear a thong.

All right, well, you guys all have amazing bodies. Stay ahead of the

Hi.

Hello. Good luck.

So we haven't interviewed you.

Yeah, we did, actually.

There's so many of you. I just don't know, you know, you're just mixing up.

All right, so are you hoping to win?

I hope so.

Do you want to change anything?

No, I haven't. No. Are you happy you didn't trip?

I'm very happy I didn't trip. That's like the worst nightmare for anybody,

right? Yeah, very macho.

All right, have a good night tonight.

Bye. Bueno, vamos a continuar y los... Uy, justo estábamos detrás de la cámara.

Look, baby.

You know, my wish is for this beautiful girl.

She's my best.

Lovely. You too?

Wow. Nice.

I don't know why I don't wear my bikini tonight.

Do you speak French?

No. You want to learn?

Speak in French.

Oh.

Bonsoir. Comment ça va?

Ici le Québec.

Je suis en amour avec ma...

I agree.

All right. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

How do you say how nice in French?

Oh, no.

How nice?

I love you.

Have a nice evening.

Okay, that was too long. I'm not going to.

Thank you.

Welcome. I love people. They're so bubbly. It's crazy. All right, guys.

So we're about to wrap it up. Oh, I did an interview with this beautiful lady

over here. How are you? I'm good. How are you doing today?

So I did an interview earlier, so I don't want to, you know, have anybody be

left out.

Do not take off my sticker.

I'm like, almost fell back. That's not going to happen. All right. So what's

your name?

My name is Ebony.

I'm sorry?

My name is Ebony.

All right. And where are you from?

Fort St. Lucie, Florida.

Fort St. Lucie, Florida. That place is growing really fast.

Yeah, it is, definitely.

Do you guys have nightlife at least now?

No, no nightlife.

Borderline dry county.

But that's good at least. You're maintaining yourself calm, family

everything. Definitely, definitely, definitely. Miami is the total opposite.

Yeah, definitely. It's huge.

It's amazing.

You've been to Miami before, no?

Not for nightlife.

All right, well, I hope you win, and, well, I hope you guys are all getting

along and having fun.

Definitely. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

All right, guys.

So, let's talk to Howard.

Hi, Howard.

Sorry, how are you? What is your number?

What? My number is infinity.

You look great.

So remember the last time you interviewed us?

When you proposed.

Proposed?

Married. Not yet.

Oh, you had the engagement party.

Damn. Oh, look at that. Is that your birthstone?

Is that your birthstone?

I love that. When you guys get birthstones, it's so pretty.

So are you happy?

I'm very happy.

When's the big wedding?

Maybe February.

That's pretty fast.

Are you in a rush for a reason?

We're not sure. February.

You're not in a rush for any reason, are you? Those questions.

You're not pregnant, are you?

I couldn't imagine you're pregnant. You're so beautiful and petite, you

But I think you will always keep your figure, though.

Yeah, I don't imagine myself pregnant either.

Okay, so were you a judge tonight?

Were you judging tonight? I'm giving away a Miss Photogenic photo shoot.

From one of the girls?

I picked one girl to do a photo shoot of.

Is it a coincidence maybe that that girl wins?

Will that girl win?

Will that girl win?

She will win a photo shoot.

Oh, the girl that wins wins a photo shoot. That's separate from the contest.

That's just to take a photograph of her.

Sorry, it's very loud, so I'm trying to, like, come up with what you're saying

because it's very loud in here.

All right, well, thank you so much, and I hope you have an amazing photo shoot.

You're a very good photographer, so I'm sure you'll kick ass.

Good to see you again, sweetie.

Bye, honey.

Bye. Bye.

What?

I'm losing my voice also. It's so loud in here.

All right, guys. Let's go.

We're trying to squeeze in here. How are you? Good. How are you? Where are you

from? From Darden. I'm originally from New York.

New York.

You look Latin. Do you have a Latin in you?

Somewhat. Queen eating.

I don't know if everybody looks Latin to me, or maybe. I tell everybody that

they look Latin.

I don't know why. Well, I think you did a very good job as well.

There's a lot of you. It's a tough competition.

Do you think you'll be in the top?

I don't know. We'll see. It's my first time doing Tropic Beauty, and I love it.

Everybody's fun. It's a blast. We have fun. We laugh in the back, and we'll see

what happens.

Now, coming from New York, is the vibe the same, or?

I'm here part -time until the summer, and then I go back to New York.

I love New York. That's my city.

Everything's better, but during the summer, it's warmer here than New York.

During the summer? Isn't it super hot over there that you can't even walk?

during the winter, it's better here.

That's true. Is it snowing over there?

Probably. I don't know.

Definitely can't be wearing this there.

All right, well, I hope you win.

Say hi to Miami TV.

Bye. Thank you so much. Bye. Bye.

God, there's so many pretty girls everywhere.

Dizzy.

How are you?

I'm good. How are you? So, do you think you did a good job?

I think I did a good job. Yeah? Yeah. You happy you didn't trip?

I'm happy I didn't trip.

So, these carpets are tricky, you know? I know. Like, couple little wrinkles

here and there.

That's very bad. Make sure there's no wrinkles on the floor.

All right. So, what do you think about the other girls?

There's a lot of potential girls.

I think these choices are very hard right now. Honestly, I think it was more

difficult than last year.

I didn't do a slow shot. I went to Vegas, and in Vegas, there was 115

that was so hard because there were girls from all over the world, like

Brazilian, Portuguese, like everywhere.

I was representing Colombia, so it was a really hard one.

So what happens after, like, a pageantry? If you lose, do you get

you like, okay, you know, let's just work harder?

Or do you change things?

Do you work out more? I mean, I don't know. I think there's always room for

improvement. I think that you realize how you did wrong and the things that

need to improve for the next time.

I think it's a good stepping stone.

I don't think you should be sad about it. You should be proud that you did it

and that you accomplished something nobody else was able to do.

Very nice.

Well, you're very determined. I love that. You know what you're doing. I know

what I'm doing.

Well, thank you so much. I love a professional. Thank you.

Bye.

Get your ass up and let's get it.

But let's get into it.

Bueno amigos, gracias por estar con nosotros. Espero que les haya gustado.

Y así concluimos la noche de hoy en Miami.

En una noche un poco fría de Miami, pero caliente por todas las chicas. Así

concluimos Miss Tropic Fury 2014.

Un beso milagro y nos vemos en la próxima.
