[2012.08.27] CARAT CHEUNG WINS MISS HONG KONG

The musical number stumps many candidates

Kay Tse asks Roxanne Tong who her favorite singer is but  as she is about to kiss up to Kay, Kay asks her to sing a few lines of her song.  Tong despite saying that she is not familiar with the lyrics still sings.

Melanie McAndrew's Chinese proficiency shows when Edmond So asks her how many times  has she dated and she answers 3 months.  When the hosts jokingly asks if she changes boyfriend every 3 months she actually answers yes.  She realizes from the roaring audience that she is in trouble and asks Edmond So to ask the question again, but Edmond So does not relent and asks it again in Chinese.  Host Amigo Choi has to translate before she answers she has never dated.

The 2012 Miss Hong Kong pageant took place last night at the Tseung Kwan O Television City. Originally this pageant marked the one vote per person process as viewer voting determined the top three, finally due to a server crash no one got to vote. The democracy became fake democracy as the city erupted in anger. Finally the jury selected favorite Carat Cheung Ming Nga to be the new Miss Hong Kong as well as Miss International Goodwill. The first runner up is "dark horse" Jacqueline Wong Sum Wing and the second runner up is Tracy Chu Chin Suet. Miss Photogenic is Jennifer Shum Hung Yin.
