An intense moment among the sixteen (16) contestants as the judges choose the top ten semi finalists of which 20-year-old Miss Braneka Bassett and 21-year-old Kastachia Stuart were placed.

After the evening gown segment, the contestants were narrowed down to the top five (5) which included Anastagia Pierre, Miss Janay Pyfrom, Miss Lataj Henfield, Miss Kastacia Stuart and Miss Braneka Bassett.  Each girl was then escorted to a sound proof area to await her turn at the final question… this question focused on the hardship and despair being experienced throughout the Bahamas and each girl offered her answer as if she was to become Miss Bahamas what would she want to say to the Bahamian People.  A few girls had some difficulty in answering the question but in a relaxing voice Braneka first gave a cheerful ‘Hello Bahamas’ then went on to tell the Bahamian people that there is always HOPE and Love and not to lose hope as change will come. The judges were then given a final opportunity to make their selection for the title.  When it was all done Miss Bahamas 2010 was announced as 20 Year old Braneka Bassett, First Princess – Anastagia Pierre, Miss Bahamas Intercontinental, Second Princess – Janay Pyfrom, Miss Bahamas Supranational
 
Braneka Basset will start her first voyage as Miss Bahamas on Friday May 14, 2010 as she travels to Las Vegas to be a guest at the Miss U.S.A Pageant. Following the event, she is schedule to represent the Bahamas in the up-coming Miss World and Miss Universe Pageant.
