It is very unfair to have 2 candidates competing from the same family, let alone 2 sisters. This is unheard of in any serious pageant. How come both sisters ranked 1st and 2nd. I find it highly suspicious, to say the least.

everything is suspicious in Lebanon...we have to doubt everything...go doubt those you are voting for, at least for ounce in your existence

I think she is a pretty girl, wondering why her face reaction upon being elected was not full of smile, happiness and joy!!!!! whoever is training these girls how to walk, to talk, also should teach how to keep a BIG CHEESE on their face - otherwise, she will get no where in other Major Events in which she will participate.

she wasn't that happy because they warned in advance all the candidates, she knew about it before the announcements - I know one of the contestants personally.

Overall the Celebration was beautiful and organized. This is the first time i watch a Miss Lebanon pageant where most of the contestants are beautiful, and where the judges ask moderate questions. Thumbs up to Roula Saad for organizing a spectacular show and congrats to Rina who with her beauty and intelligence proved that she deserves the title of Miss Lebanon. Finally, as Lebanese people, in the midst of all the chaos and tension we're going through, we need a beautiful face to show to the rest of the world the beautiful and civilized face of Lebanon.

The Miss is beautiful and has an amazing body... All contestants looked good because they had a good makeup, which was nor "vulgaire" nor too light. They just picked the best for each girl

I think her sister Romy is more beautiful
