The evening's events began at 6:00 pm on the rooftop where everyone gathered for photos, chitchat and beverages compliments of one of the evening's sponsors, Nuvo. FLOW Trinidad, another sponsor, set up a large projected screen in the Jetsam room of the hotel where everyone later congregated to watch the show.

Cheers, jeers and laughter coud be heard during the show as Anya's biggest supporters shared her special PR moments. During the first commercial break Anya addressed her guests, welcoming them and thanking them for their support. She also took that time to share her feelings about her experiences on Project Runway and compared it with her time at the Miss Universe pageant. She announced that her fan favourite winnings, a total of US $10,000.00 would be used to develop a micro-financing fund to help creative young people achieve their dreams. This of course, she would do if she does win. Her chances of winning depend on the number of votes she has at the end of the season.
