| Boyer crowned Miss Linden Town Week |

Nineteen-year-old Ruqayayah Boyer stayed ahead of the game to win the confidence of the judges and take home the Miss Linden Town Week 2010 title and crown.

At the pageant, held on Saturday night at the Mackenzie Sports Club Ground in front of the smallest audience in a long time, Boyer, Monette Mingo, Wrenea Sydney, Shellon Milling, Rhonda Harry, Shenella Thomas and Michon Guillaume first appeared on stage in black shorts and life jackets for their opening dance sequence which was followed by their individual introduction.
The trend of loud screams and clapping continued for Boyer when she took the stage displaying her two piece swimsuit under the Diadiai line of known designer Derrick Moore. All the contestants wore the same line of swimwear.
But the highlight of the Boyer’s stage performance was her talent piece, an elocutionary version of “Colours of the Wind”, the theme song from the film Pocahontas. Her costume for this segment depicted various aspects of the rainforest.
Her ‘lady in red’ evening gown also appealed to the judges and the audience alike. However the gowns worn by all of the girls were seen as very elegant and appropriate. Boyer’s strongest competition in that segment was Sydney.
At the end of the evening wear segment it was a moment of truth for the girls since two of them would have had to be eliminated and in a backstage invited comment Boyer said she knew that her competition was very strong. Nonetheless, she was optimistic that her place in the final five was more than safe. Right she was as Milling and Thomas were the contestants eliminated.
The remaining five girls then had to pull the name of a judge from a bag and were then asked a question by the judge whose name they had pulled. At the end, Mingo was adjudged the fourth runner-up, followed by Harry as third runner-up; second runner-up was Guillaume and the first runner-up position went to Sydney leaving Boyer as the queen.
Boyer a naturalized Guyanese who was born in Suriname had said that she was confident of capturing the title of Miss Linden Town Week 2010. She migrated to Guyana with her parents after spending two years in Suriname and five years in Canada.
She aspires to become an environmental lawyer because of her passion for mother earth and its protection and a novelist as well. Additionally she is considering pursuing a degree in psychology, communications or international relations.
The pageant this year was organised by Dynasty Entertainment for the first time after it won the franchise from the Linden Town Council, the body which spearheads the activities of town week. According to Selwyn Lancaster, Moore was contracted as the trainer and his input was key in the night’s performances being dubbed the best in a very long time.
A presentation ceremony will be held in the very near future.

I agree the judges should be screened so that if these young ladies need to take this to the next level they are prepared without prejudice. Remember when Francine Haynes won in the late 80"s and she messed up on all the interviews after she got the title. We have to think outside the box my people. You need beauty with brains. |

Miss Boyer you deserve the right to be the winner, you were the favourite from the beginning, you moved with grace and confidence throughout the night, and I think you got what you deserve, so keep up the good work, god is with you and we the Lindeners are all with you.
You are truly blessed. |

These judges should be screened first, do a background check on them even if they have a good job. If they are too bias toss them aside like old newspapers. A lot of people have a one track mind. |

The judges should be looking for genuine and honest answers that are intelligent. If the winning contestant had to do press events and interviews I think they will be more careful in their selection. I hope these young ladies get their prizes. Mr. Angel still owe previous contestants their prizes from years ago. There is a God and God don't like ugly. |

The reporter was also the Hostess and made no mention of the controversy surrounding the crowning and the boos and disappointed attendees.
The queen was leading throughout the pageant, but the judges announced that the final intelligence segment (questions) will be the sole determinant of the winner – which I found strange. The Queen failed to answer her question correctly and the second runner was precise in her answer and as such should have been crowned queen by the judges.
