32 men attended the selection, including many muscley men, who tried to catch the attention of the judges and the press by wearing deep-V jumpers to show off their chests or giving martial arts demonstrations in the corridor. Among the men was Dickson, boyfriend of Miss Hong Kong runner-up Koni Lui. One flirty contestant even blew kisses to the waiting press, leaving them in fits of laughter.
TVB executive and production manager Ho Lai Chuen revealed that the two contestants entering from overseas who did not make it back for this set of auditions will be given a final chance today. After this, nine finalists will be selected to join the three men selected earlier in overseas panels and the twelve will then be split into the "Youth" and "Mature" groups to start training. They will be meeting the press officially on 25 June.
Asked about one of this year's contestants having tattoos and nose piercings, Mr Ho said that they asked for the reason for doing this and the contestant explained that this was done when he was younger and bore sentimental value to him. As a result, this did not affect his chances in entering the competition, provided he did not wear any such jewellery during the competition.
