Miss HK Carat Cheung gets attacked by Netizens, heavy support for Tracy Chu

This year's Miss Hong Kong 2012 "one vote per person" system turned into a laughing stock as it ended with a server crash. HK citizens were not only unable to vote for the winner in their heart, Tracy Chu, but even the 'voting prize' (Mini Cooper) disappeared and became a mystery. The entire city is angered! To expressed their dissatisfaction, yesterday there were 527 complaints, and today another 229 complaints were added to that number, yielding a total of 756 complaints within two days. This broke the previous record of 343 complaints set by Joyce Cheng kissing Ron Ng during their performance at the Children Song Awards back in 2005.

In addition to Netizens voicing out their dissatisfaction, there is also someone taking revenge on Miss HK winner Carat Cheung because they believed she doesn't deserve the title. The person did a major background check on Carat's personal life and defamed her as much as possible. Yesterday a reader exposed Carat is a "Stamp Collector Miss HK" and Netizens uploaded a photo they claimed to be Carat and her 'boyfriend'. They heavily bashed the 'boyfriend' that he looks like Mainland gossip king Zude Song. However, based on the research done by reporters, the 'stamp collecting evidence' given by the reader were just normal photos Carat took with other artists. In reality, Carat used to host a television show in Vancouver, and interviewed several artists such as Eason Chan and Steven Ma. So, it's normal she took photos with artists. As for the 'boyfriend', his real identity is Carat's younger male cousin. As for first runner-up, Jacqueline Wong, she also got miserably denounced by Netizens. Supporters of second runner-up, Tracy Chu shouted: "Give Us Back the Cooper!"

In regards to Netizens' defamation, Carat was not upset at all, but laughed: "This proves audience pays attention to Miss HK. Netizens does not represent all of HK. (Are you afraid there will be a HK wide poll and you may get less votes?) I was satisfied with my performance that night." As for Carat's great uncle, he said she's "not that pretty", Cara calmly said: "That proves that I'm not relying on relationships." As for Tracy Chu, she's just very grateful to have Netizens' support.

Last night, the Miss Hong Kong 2012 final was held at TVB City. As this is the 40th anniversary, TVB decided to make it big and attempted to boost the ratings. This is the first time 20 Siu Sang and FaDans got to interview the contestants, the audience get to take part in voting for the winner and contestants were voted out through a cruel reality show.

When the top three finalists were about to be announced, there was technical difficulty for the first time in Miss HK history. This year, the selling point is TVB and the audience each get to cast a vote for who they think should be the winner, but unfortunately the Miss HK App and website crashed before the guests and live studio audience could cast their votes. Myolie Wu frowned: "It doesn't work!" MC Eric Tsang then announced because of the heavy traffic, the system crashed. In the end, TVB ended up making the final decision on who the winners were. The audience immediately started booing, and many Netizens complained suspecting that this was all decided internally. TVB really made a fool out of themselves. After the event ended, TVB made a public apology and expressed they are still unsure if it was a hacker, investigation is in the process.

Carina Lau was one of the judges, she expressed Carat Cheung was her choice as well. She praised she is highly educated and appeared calm. When asked if she thinks TVB failed majorly on the new voting system? She said: "There will bound be problems with computers. Each year, the judges are selected too. I hope next year it will be better. (It was rumored your pregnant?) No! I'm still shooting a new film and gained a little weight."

As for Miss HK winner Carat Cheung, she said excitedly: "I'm very happy! Never thought I'll win!" Asked if the results were affected by the crash of the system? She said: "I'm not going to think too much."
