The 2012 Miss Hong Kong Pageant’s overseas candidates were unveiled on May 31st. The women came from Vancouver, Toronto, New York, Australia, and Great Britain. The overseas candidates appeared to be robust and flashed their brilliant smiles before the press. Although 8 candidates were scheduled to appear, one candidate fell sick and was unable to attend the event. The overseas candidates will be merged with the local Hong Kong applicants to form a pool of 28 women, who will undergo image makeovers and training. When the candidates formally meet with the press in June, 8 to 10 candidates will be eliminated upon their poor performance. The remaining applicants will have a chance to fly to London for filming on location. Adopting elements of reality TV in the 2012 Miss Hong Kong Pageant, the candidates will continue to be tested and eliminated, leaving only the strongest to compete in the August finals.
