My Goodness I am surprised no-one on this thread attacked any of the guest judges of which I was one. I tried to be as fair as possibly with the girls who all have potential. However, the show needs structuring – there are many types of Amateur models – print, screen, hand. feet, leg, thigh, runway, hair, eyes, teeth etc which type of model does the show seek to develop? Each model needs to be assessed on the basis of their strengths and TOLD during the audition stage the category of modeling best suited for her. She should be given the tools to develop so that each week we see the girls in their individual forums trying to determine if this career is really for them or not. I have to honestly say that the Barbadian public loves the show because BARBADIANS love to laugh at other people – they love when people make an ass of themselves on National TV – Do any of you really think that the show would have the ratings it gets if an Industry Professional took the place of Kingsley? The answer would be NO because the public would say ” who de hell is he or she? dem feel dem is sumbody cuz dem do dis or dat??” As for Sheffian – I do not know what her claim to fame is because I have been in the pageantry & fashion industry since I was 16 years old (giving me 13 years of experience) and I have never heard of her modeling outside of Barbados or even on a Barbadian Stage. She tries too hard to imitate Kingsley, she viciously insults the girls and is very frightening to look at. It is all about ratings and I watch it to laugh bad like anybody else sorry to say. It is a stress reliever for me and many people who don’t have anything else to watch on local tv (thank god for cable) who turn down many good programs by the way – They want shows but they don’t want to pay people for their footage – they would rather you give it to them to show, turn around and pay for the airtime while they benefit without spending ONE CENT. It takes all kinds to make up the world so it is not fair to attack a person’s sexuality – however; I believe that the girls need to be spoken to and treated with dignity & respect. ……but then again having won a CARIBBEAN FASHION AWARD for best MODELING SHOW IN THE CARIBBEAN they may think that the show needs no improvement….By the way it is Kingsley Thorne who actually gives the winner & runner’s up of this competition the opportunity to participate at other Caribbean Fashion Shows through his company EBONY MODELS & is not given an ounce of credit for it.

It is about time that we stop allowing downright crap to be shown on TV. I totally understand that CBC’s viewership goes up when the Barbados Amateur Kingsley Show is on TV but is this what we want to show our children? He speaks poor English and he shows the entire world that he is uneducated.

People try to compare him to Simon from American Idol but Simon speaks the truth, it makes sense and he is an industry professional. Mr. Thorne is not a designer, he cannot design anything and is an extremely bad example.

What positives has he ever produced? Name 1 and I will be shocked. Please dont tell me Ebony models because there is not one “real” model that has been with is agency for 3 years.

lol all a wanna pun Kingsley but he aint de person I got beef wid. I think the girls like him fuh real and I do too. On the other hand and hate the bitch that does talk down to girls wid she face skin up like she smell shit. She’s the one that want throwing off de show fuh real. Can’t stand she and she can’t speak english fuh shit well none a dem can but at least Kingsley does talk he good bajan and forget bout tryna sound great. and fuh real I aint got nuh problem wid that. The big girl now although she kinda sweet had me deading one day telling de model that she ’stamping’ on de run way. but I could tek she at least she aint highfuluting like de other johnny wannabe. – I SAID IT-
