Vancouver's KAYI CHEUNG Wins Miss HK 2007 Winner Kayi Cheung (middle), First runner-up Grace Wong (left) and Second runner-up Loretta Chow (right) Miss HK 2007 finals were last night. Winner was 23 year old #3 Kayi Cheung Ga-Yi from Vancouver, Canada. She had also won the Miss Vitality Ambassador award. 1st RU #9 Grace Wong hails from New York, USA & won the Miss Photogenic & Miss International Goodwill, while 2nd RU #7 Lorretta Chow won Most Attractive Legs award. Unfortunately, hot door #2 Lily Ho failed to place in the top 8. The finals were held at Hong Kong Coliseum. MC’s were Eric Tsang Ji-Wai, Nat Chan Bak-Cheung & Sammy Leung (Sam Mei). The show had a Fashion Show theme. Past Miss HK winners/finalists also appeared on stage for a bit. They include Miss HK 99 Sonija Kwok, Miss HK 98 Anne Heung, Miss HK 01 Shirley Yeung, Miss HK 03 Mandy Cho, Miss HK 05 Tracy Ip, Miss HK 06 Aimee Chan. Miss HK 04 Kate Tsuei was a guest performer alongside TVB actor Raymond Lam. The delegates were dressed in beautiful couture like costumes throughout the show. Contestants had to go through several rounds of competition. Scores were revealed in some. Hot favourites #2 Lily Ho & #12 Nicole Lee did not advance in the top 8. #2 Lily's downfall was in swimsuit while #12 Nicole, although eliminated, performed quite well during the swimsuit competition. In the end, the finalists were #3 Kayi Cheung, #4 Mandy Wong, #7 Lorretta Chow, #9 Grace Wong, #14 Candice Chiu. #3 Kayi eventually won the title, though her performance wasn't completely outstanding & didn't always score the highest points in certain segments. During the Miss Photogenic presentation, Eric Tsang embarrassed the recipient of the award #9 Grace a bit by saying "Miss Photogenic...means she's not pretty in person but absolutely photogenic in photos!" Winner #3 Kayi is 5'4.5" & is a University student in Vancouver, BC. Her hobbies are traveling & skiing & ambition in life is to promote a healthy lifestyle & food safety & would also like to become a TV Host. Kayi was considered a cold door, as a result she was instantly booed when announced as the winner. But because of her excitement she did not hear the booing. "I didn't pay attention to any noises, I only wanted to thank my family & people who've surpported me" (Which segment did you score high in?) "Maybe the interview was good" (Any Sadness?) "No, receiving an award means I received general consensus" Like Lorretta's family, Kayi's also traveled a fair distance to watch her perform. They had planned a trip after the pageant was over. But since her win, it looks like it will have to be postphoned as TVB will be giving her work soon. 1st RU #9 Grace took home 3 awards & was not disappointed she'd lost. She told the press she never thought of winning first place but did want the Miss International Goodwill award. #7 Lorretta wasn't disappointed with third place either as she dreamt of placing in the top 3. Dreams do come true! Lorretta complimented Kayi & said she's a beautiful girl, has a nice figure & sweet eyes. #2 Lily thought #3 Kayi had the winner's look as well. As for her own performance, Lily believes she could've performed even better. (Where did you lose out? Was it the "Luxury butt"?) Lily expressed the judges judged based on performance. By the way for Mike He fans he was a special judge for Miss photogenic that evening as well. You can hear the scream of fans on the back ground when he's mentioned.

I just finished watching it also. Even though I had no idea why Kayi won, I though she should of been like 3rd instead but it's my opinion =_= If you noticed you should of seen her blinking continuously during the questioning part and the final ceremony. And does anyone know what happened to the talent potion of the competition? Even though Loretta might have struggled with the questions, her singing is awesome! but too bad she couldn't perform it.
