The winner’s list this year is quite a surprise. Contestants #3 Yvette Chan (陳聖瑜) and #4 Fabienne Kwan(關楓馨), Eddie Kwan’s daughter, were hot favorites to rank in the top 3. Yvette Chan was always favorited to take home the champion crown, but failed to make it to the top 5.
Sabrina Mendes can be considered this year’s dark horse. She wasn’t covered so much by the media in the beginning until she got popular during the Q&A session in the semi-finals, which earned her high praise from the judges. Sabrina Mendes was immediately painted by the media to be a favorite and a frontrunner to win the crown. She is three quarters Chinese and one quarter Portuguese descent.She graduated from the University of Toronto this year with double majors in Biochemistry and Human Biology and dreams of becoming a doctor.
I didn’t watch any of the show, but did look when they first announced the contestants. I remember thinking one of the contestants was very beautiful, similar to Gigi Lai. What happened to her? Did she not perform well? I thought there were a good batch of beautiful girls this year, but none of them placed it seems.
Seems like Hong Kongers really favor mixed/foreign looking people over their own.
Are you saying this because last year’s winner was also mixed?
That combined with several other things…
