2012 Miss Hong Kong Pageant Rocked by Scandals

In the last few weeks, the revamped 2012 Miss Hong Kong Pageant underwent several elimination rounds. On July 8th, the 16 candidates traveled to Chimelong, Guangdong for a talent competition. The ladies were first separated into four groups and introduced to Guangdong’s scenery, history, and food through their scripted plays. The winning group’s members then competed with each other for the “Tourism Ambassador Award” by performing their own talents. Twenty-five-year-old Roxanne Tong (湯洛雯) was the winner of the night, who impressed the judges with her sweet performance of Sandy Lam’s (林憶蓮) song, At Least There’s Still You <至少還有你>.

Roxanne Tong Insists Award Was Not Rigged

However, Roxanne’s victory was met with much criticism. Many viewers claimed that Roxanne, who sang off-key and forgot some of the lyrics, was actually one of the worst performers of the group. Roxanne said that she originally planned for a piano performance, but she dropped that idea because the piano was inconvenient to bring along. She admitted that her nervousness caused her to forget some of the lyrics.

Yesterday, the 16 candidates went to an eye wear shop, Puyi Optical, to select their favorite sunglasses. Roxanne chose neon-rimmed glasses, and joked that she looked like a “neon Arale,” a character from the anime series, Dr. Slump. She added that she liked to wear thick-framed glasses to hide her panda eyes.

When asked if Roxanne was disappointed with claims that her “Tourism Ambassador Award” was rigged, she clarified that the winner was determined by the amount of votes casted online. Asking if she was disappointed, Roxanne said, “I will just be myself, and face the competition with a calm mindset.”

Later today, the candidates will attend a resurrection battle, to bring back contestants eliminated in previous rounds, allowing them a final chance to win the beauty pageant crown. Twenty-three-year-old Gloria Chan (陳華鑫) and twenty-six-year-old Kayley Chung (鍾麗), who were eliminated at the Miss Hong Kong in London <香港小姐競選選戰英倫> round, will also return to compete. When asked if they felt that the company was philandering with the contestants, Kayley said, “I think they’re giving me another chance. Gloria said, “This is the competition’s model. I will do my best!”

Scandalous Photos of Cynthia Tsang Leaked Online

Earlier, scandalous photos of 26-year-old Cynthia Tsang (曾明俐) were widely circulated online. Magazines published photos of Cynthia cosplaying as a cop, French maid, and other costumes with heavy sadomasochistic themes. Tabloids also claimed that Cynthia enjoyed going out at night, partying in clubs, drinking, and smoking. Intimate photos of her with boyfriend Lam Lee were also exposed. Insiders revealed that before joining the Miss Hong Kong Pageant, Cynthia loved to party.

Cynthia explained that the photos were taken 6 to 7 years ago, and said she did not know who leaked the photos. “Those photos were for Halloween parties!” She also clarified that she does not smoke or drink, and explained that the alcohol bottle she held in one of the pictures were for posing purposes. Cynthia originally denied Lam Lee to be her boyfriend, but ultimately admitted their relationship. Asking if she had anymore “erotic” photos with her boyfriend, she immediately responded, “No.”

Cynthia also said that she was not afraid that this incident would tamper her chances of winning the pageant. Her roommate, Roxanne, also gave Cynthia encouraging words of support.

Wong Jing Ridicules Poor Quality of 2012 Miss Hong Kong Contestants

Pictured above, from left to right: Carat Cheung, Roxanne Tong, and Cynthia Tsang.

Despite TVB’s grand plans in marketing the 40th Anniversary of the Miss Hong Kong Pageant this year, the 14 contestants have come under fire as being poor in quality. When the bikini photos of the contestants were unveiled earlier this week, Hong Kong tabloids criticized the contestants for their flat chests and flabby abdomens. Director Wong Jing (王晶) blasted TVB, “If there are no [hot] women, then do not organize the pageant!”

  1. Um,……….can someone post the erotic photos so we know how kinky she looks……just words are not enough.

    1. The only thing worse than a pervert, is a lazy pervert! Look it up yourself, u louse!

      1. @lol
        You must watch Yua’s movies if you know who she is.

      2. Oh I see, we’re using the “Google defense” now are we?

  2. I still find it careless that many beauty pageant entrants have taken erotic photos. Even if they don’t enter the entertainment industry, these photos would be embarrassing if they were leaked at their jobs.

    Whatever industry a woman chooses, erotic photos can damage your career!

    1. Totally agree and if you do not want erotic photos to come back and haunt you then just do not take them at all. Regardless of what your career is, it will be really damaging to your career and how others view you.

    2. Do you even know what these “erotic” photos that the HK media is claiming look like?

      Because I do.

      They are merely just photos of her dressing up in Halloween costumes. How is that erotic? Most girls in North America dresses up like that for Halloween. Only the conservatively-minded Hong Kong media would think it’s scandalous and blow things out of proportion.

      1. I was not really referring to these particular photos but was talking more in general…

  3. really gloria got eliminated? does anyone know where can i watch the Miss Hong Kong in London? thanks

    1. Saturday, July 14th. 8:30pm Hong Kong time. approx 1 hour show.

  4. “Many viewers claimed that Roxanne, who sang off-key and forgot some of the lyrics, was actually one of the worst performers of the group.” ………… It seems that Roxanne Tong had preference from TVB because of the connection of her uncle, Ken Tong.

    1. Who ever said that the recent Ms. HK pageants were truly fair? I remember that Cheng pei pei’s daughter got 2nd place in 1999 and I wonder if it is due any connections since her mom is a veteran actress?? You always wonder about any TVB’s contests/pageants these days are actually fair or meaningful. I think that if Roxanne does win, I think it would be more due to connections than anything.

  5. Roxanne is pretty but her nose is like a power socket.

    1. You still consider her pretty even with a big nose??

  6. its nt erotic photos. just sme cosplaying photos.

  7. the girl in the red polo and the one in the sailor dress if pretty. others are average. u can spot them in all over our streets. very average looking girls. different photos shows them differently. guess u have to see them real life to be judging them in the competition.
