Sonam Choden Retty is the new Miss Bhutan. And, her winning the title of Miss Bhutan has exposed one of the biggest scams in Bhutan.
The Indian trainer hired to train the Miss Bhutan 2010 contestants has revealed that the beauty pageant had been fixed by Karma Tshering.
Karma Tshering is the organizer of the Miss Bhutan 2010 pageant.
The Indian trainer was well aware that Sonam Choden Retty was already fixed as the winner of Miss Bhutan and did not like it at all.
"She does not deserve it. She does not even know who Magic Johnson is, nor can she answer simple knowledge questions on pop culture. I had to do something. So, I openly stated 5 other contestants who I felt had the best chance at the title."
But, doing this made the poor Indian trainer run into a laundry list of problems. He was discriminated against, treated unfairly and wrongly blamed for few other things which are a complete joke.
"The pageant finals are slated for September 25th but 5 contestants out of the 18 have already been selected as the winners of the pageant" says the Indian trainer in an exclusive interview to us.
He added "I tried to inform the remaining contestants about this cheating but Karma Thsering, Sonam Choden Retty, Pema Choden, the coordinators and these 4 contestants started to realize what I was doing so I had to play it safe."
We asked the Indian trainer to reveal the names of the 5 contestants already selected as likely winners of the Miss Bhutan pageant in 2010.
He told us that the 5 names are Sonam Choden Retty, Dechen Tshomo, Karma Loday Lhamo, Tenzin Norden and Sangay Dema.
There is a complaint letter posted to us on August 30th and a complaint filed online on this website on September 19th of 2010. We delayed in posting the complaint till last week since we had to go down to Bhutan and get some of these facts right.
The Indian trainer felt that there were other contestants more deserving but when he voiced his opinion during one of his lectures he was openly insulted and ridiculed by these 5 contestants particularly Sonam Choden Retty. Now, we all know why.
The finals of the 2010 pageant were held earlier today and Sonam Choden Retty was given the title on a platter. On close study of her performance we discovered that the answers to her questions and statements made on stage were made by heart.
It's indeed a shame to see that a national beauty pageant can be openly fixed.
Shame on you Miss Bhutan 2010...
A lot needs to be done to get rid of such corrupt people in Bhutan.
Company Business Name: Miss Bhutan 2010
Country of complaint: Bhutan
We cannot understand why the organizer and the fixed winner are lashing out at the wrong person.
We have a job to do here finding out the truth and that's exactly what we did.
But, the way the organizers speak back on this forum under fake IDs (by the way all such IDs can be easily traced by members) is ridiculous.
There are lies about you on various issues so this is not the only one.
You keep putting India and the residents of India down which we find really sad considering you and some of your team members have completed vital parts of their education in India.
You lied about Shilpa Shetty being the judge this year. There are 2 newspaper articles to prove you said that she would be hired as the judge for the 2010 pageant in 2 Bhutanese papers.
You lied that you are the assistant director of the Bollywood movie Badhai ho Badhai but your name is nowhere in the credits. The director Satish Kaushik is very angry that you are lying about this.
You allowed your own employee Tenzin Norden into the pageant. Pageant laws state that employees of the organizers are not allowed to participate.
You lied to the sponsors about the total expenses for the pageant. The rental building expenses and many other expenses have been forged by you.
We have sufficient reasons to believe that you do not know how to speak to people in a higher position with respect. You have misused the names of respectable people in Bhutan for your sole benefit.
Your upbringing and character along with the wrongful ethics you follow can be clearly seen in the way you treat people and hy your comments on this post.
There are countless number of people who live both in and outside Bhutan who have supported our reporters in this matter.
So, instead of showing how cheap you can really be, take a break and redo the pageant all over again.
It is quite clear that the winner was not deserving and the resource persons were right about it.
If someone doesn't get what she deserves, it's a shame and if she gets what she does not deserve, its a shame too...

When one is not at all aware of "Magic Johnson"- The famous American Basketball legend, either the person should be one living in a cocoon devoid of any communcation or one who never laid the hands on internet and least interested to browse Television channels.
Becoming the heartthrob and a nation's best girl, it is not beauty all that is associated to win the title, the most deserving candidtae are the ones who are versatile and well-versed in many of ways and one who is "Jack of all trades".
I don't think beauty without brians are worth for the game of title, as the adage says, fool and his money is soon departed.
Logically, Bhutan has to act transparently and give out vivid reasons. Bhutan must understand the polling of public and the majority as public is the biggest judge.
The First Miss Bhutan has proved beyond boundaries that she deserves the title as she hast the taste of every modern ethics. Seducing people with nudity and forcing people to claim themselves as hot is real absurd.
So Bhutan, do you think you should really nod in rapport to accept her as Miss Bhutan or should you be claiming back the title? Judge must be unbiased to select the right candidate and so qualified to do so...
It is so sad how people of Bhutan write critics, they make it a personal issue eventually. Ain't all of us stabilizing the Miss Bhutan issue? We are writing about it not a game of Verbatim.
What is there to use profanities?
If you want to give your critics, make it formal, readeable, worthy of words and tell what change you can bring, I mean suggest.
You don't need to write, "trust me people". People writing here are not here to trust you, they are here to read what fellow contrymen has written and finally they too want to contradict you or accept your words.
Don't make it personal here please, let it be compaintboard not a battle field.
Is this true or some loser trying to pull her...any ways she became history and she deserve to fly like any other miss
