Brandi from Miami, Florida, winner in the Misses category enjoyed the contest immensely, but admitted that it was no easy feat. 'I am honoured to be chosen as the overall winner and look forward to working closely with the entire S.O.H's team. I appreciated the generosity of the Bahamian people and the new friendships that were forged because of this contest."

Brooke, from Temecula California, winner in the Full-Figured model category will wear lingerie from the Intimate Attitudes Line. She was totally ecstatic about the entire experience, though the reality of her win is still settling in. 'I can't put it into words,' she gushed while being interviewed at Peter Nygard's Resort just one day after her fantastic win. "Baby Dollz Lingerie Store entered me into the contest and I would really like to thank them for doing so. I am also grateful to S.O.H for flying the finalists to The Bahamas. The camaraderie behind the stage and throughout the entire time that I was here was indescribable especially from my roommate Brandi Miller," she said.Terez Hepburn provided the entertainment for the evening.

Eric Schlobohm, whose grandfather founded the company, said this contest began with a nation-wide model search with The Bachelor Guy assisting in narrowing the many contestants down to twenty models by providing the online voting. "Promoters, Roy Hahn and Curt Holstein convinced us to bring the promotion to The Bahamas," he said.

The activities began with a meet and greet on Wednesday night. All of the models, photographers, and S.O.H's executives got to know each other a little better.

 At a press conference on Friday morning, the contestants were presented to the public - all of them sporting S.O.H attire. Tyran Richard, cover girl, Eric Rogel, The Bachelor Guy, and Rene Braga from Telemundo TV hosted the contest that was also held later that evening.
