I remembered that some PA folk said that an Asian will never become first. How wrong they are But why isn't Miss Korea in top 3 -cry2

Zuleyka Rivera is the wrong decision for 2006...i love kurara chibana but she has made japan proud by getting 1st runner up...japan's contestants are steadily getting better...this year's MU is ok looking...at least better than zuleyka....
Miss JP standards is going up and Miss HK standarda are going down. Perhaps TVB should stop for a year
