Ivanna succeeds Bambi as holder of the title. Her winning number was “Mambo Italiano,” during which she “hurled tomatoes and cheese at the judges,” Isaac told Q News. When she was declared the winner, the judges threw the food back at her, appalling one of the contest organizers, but pleasing Ivanna, said Isaac. The runner-up, given the title Miss Dot Com, was Aurora Stone and Titania was named Miss Congeniality by the other contestants. Other competitors were Rae Lindsay, Mistress Sharon and Renée Ryan. The winner of the first Miss Grove Hotel contest, in 2000, was Ariel Sinclair.
