Winner: Grace Wong & Ham Yu Hao Ming
Second Place: Chen Lu & Timmy Hung
Third Place: Nancy Wu & Nathan Lee
Fourth Place: Niu Meng Meng & Kenneth Ma
Carol (Dodo) Cheng was the host.
Lui Fong was the guest judge.
Personal Note: Aww, too bad Nancy and Nathan did not win because she was the hot favourite to win. She was the only girl to score a perfect score of ten from the judges. Fans said that she injured herself doing the jive with Nathan. The Hunan side does not give Grace enough credit. They only care about Yu Hao Ming because they are promoting him heavily. On the other hand, if this competition were hosted by TVB, they would do the same thing, too. I was quite shocked to find out that Chen Lu and Timmy placed second. Chen Lu was always flying out of Hunan and did not have much time to practice with Timmy. Their scores were never high when they danced together.
I am so happy that Ma Ming made it so far. He and Nancy are so cute in their VCRs. Haha....

Baby Bernice
Bernice Jan Liu
After my guest appearance in "Golden Faith", I took on the role as 'Princess' in the situation comedy "Virtues of Harmony". Even until today, many people still call me 'Princess'. Back then, I thought the dialogue in VOH was hard, but I just finished filming "The Legend of a Hero" 《盛世人傑》 with Kent Gor and Kam Jie, and the dialogue in there is very ancient and very difficult. Thanks to my dad and other cast members for always helping me out with the Chinese pinyin.
Other than my family and friends like Tavia Yeung, Timmy Hung, and Patrick Tang, my dogs, Mac and Bailey, are very important to me. They are like my children. In fact, my status has risen to become a grandmother now. Haha...."
Representative Works: "Virtues of Harmony", "Survivor's Law", "Love Bond", "Into Thin Air", and "Steps".
Personal Note: Doesn't Bernice look like a boy in the first picture? LOL! Many people criticize Bernice for her lack of fluency in Cantonese, but what many people don't know is that she actually speaks Taishanese back home. Her elementary teachers encouraged her parents to communicate to their children in English rather than Cantonese or Taishanese. My friend's sister grew up with Bernice in Vancouver and her mother-in-law is Bernice's godmother. Also, Bernice's mother tells her closest friends and family that Bernice's rumours with Moses are fake.

After the females' solo, Niu Meng Meng and Myolie Wu were in the "bottom" two. Myolie Wu and Kevin Cheng were the first pair to be eliminated from the competition. Yang Ruo Xi and Zhang Jun Ning were the second pair to be eliminated from the competition.
Meng Meng and Kenneth danced Cha Cha and Jive.
At the airport, Myolie said that Kenneth would make it into the final four.
Grace and Ham (Yu Hao Ming) danced Paso Doble.
Nathan, Meng Meng, and Jun Ning were also at the blessing ceremony.
Nancy and Nathan received a perfect score from the judges for their Argentine Tango.
Personal Note: Yay! Ma Ming made it; he is in the final four! Your fans are very proud of you! Haha...
Nancy Wu and Nathan Lee have to win because she has been the favourite since the beginning of the competition. They are the most technical pair and, so far, they are the only couple with the perfect score of 10 from the judges. I have confidence in them that they will win. Just like what Nancy and Nathan say to each other all the time, "I trust you!"
端午節 @ "Strictly Come Dancing II"
Personal Note: Super funny! Love Ma Ming, Nancy, Nathan, and Grace!!!

"Strictly Come Dancing II" Ninth Round News
The recording of the ninth round will be on Friday the 6th.
The remaining six couples will send out one person to dance a solo to represent the couple. After that, they will also dance a routine with their partner.
Nancy Wu confirmed that she will be doing a Chinese dance routine by herself and will also dance a tango routine with Nathan Lee. Will they be doing the doughnut?
My guess is that there will be 3 guys and 3 girls doing their solos.
MengMa Team - Niu Meng Meng
I'm guessing Niu Meng Meng will be doing the solo because Ma Ming says that she is a better dancer and that she is smarter than he is. It would make sense if she dances because she does have a dance background.
TinLu Team - Chen Lu
Chen Lu will definitely be representing TinLu because she is an Olympic medallist and will get more votes from the audience.
Little Star - Yu Hao Ming
Yu Hao Ming is the most '人氣' (popular), so he will be doing the solo. However, if he does do the solo, he will just do hip-hop because that is the only dance he knows how to dance. Grace Wong can do other dances even though she is most familiar with hip-hop.
Blooming - Kevin Cheng
It is most likely that Kevin Cheng will be doing the solo instead of Myolie. He gives me the impression that he actually dances more than Myolie. Myolie's limbs are too long, so it looks very awkward when she has her arms out for cha cha or when she is kicking in jive.
Being of One Mind - Zhang Jun Ning
In this pair, they can send either Zhang or Yang Ruo Xi because neither of them stand out. Yang started off as a dancer, but she is always injured and complains constantly. Her audience points are rather low compared to the other girls. As for Zhang, he is actually being promoted by Hunan TV (as is Yu Hao Ming), so if they want people to be more familiar with him, he will be dancing the solo.

一定承功 (Team Success) @ "Strictly Come Dancing II"
Nathan Lee Loves Nancy Wu 李承鉉愛上胡定欣
Nathan: Yes, yes. (Everybody screams and claps in the background.)
TVB.com Man: You really like her? (He points at Nancy and goes over to Nancy.) Nancy, he really likes you. What do you think?
Nancy: He doesn't know what you are saying. (TVB.com Man and Nancy walked over to Nathan. As they were walking, TVB.com Man trips Nancy.)
TVB.com Man: I'm sorry, I tripped her.
Nancy: (She sits down beside Nathan.) You really like me?
Nathan: Yes, yes.
(Nancy pretends to slap Nathan.)
TVB.com Man: Do you know what you are saying (addressing to Nathan)?
Nancy: Do you know what you are saying (addressing to Nathan)?
Nathan: Ah.... (Everybody: I know, I know!! He copies them.) I know! I know!
TVB.com Man: I believe you need to explain what is going on here.
Nancy: (speaks loudly) You are useless, a complete mess!
Nathan: I know, I know.
TVB.com Man: I think you don't know. (Nancy: Yes!) Nancy, how about you use English and explain it to him?
Nancy: Ah.... Say what?
TVB.com Man: Don't lie. During this period when he was taking advantage of you, did you feel his love affection towards you?
Nancy: You can't really say that because taking advantage (TVB.com Man: You really enjoy it?) and liking are two different matters.
TVB.com Man: That's true. 咸濕還咸濕, 中意還中意.
Nancy: Yes.... Right? (asking everybody in the background)
TVB.com Man: Okay, let's not talk about him....
Nathan: Like, like, like.
Nancy: Crazy!
TVB.com Man: Ah, I'm afraid of you two. You two should kiss if you like each other.
(Nathan and Nancy pretend to kiss.)
TVB.com Man: Nancy, do you like Nathan?
Nancy: I obviously do like my partner!
TVB.com Man: No, not on the dance floor. I'm talking about personally.
Nancy: He already has someone. (They both ask Nathan: Right?)
Nathan: Yes. (Nancy laughs loudly.)
TVB.com Man: You don't even know what we're talking about.
Nathan: (quickly retracts his previous answer) No, no!!!
Nancy: Yes!
Nathan: No!
Nancy: Yes!
Nathan: No!
TVB.com Man: I'm going to leave you two alone. Look (points to his watch), I've got another mission, as you guys can see (his watch is flashing). I have to go and interview the next person. I'm leaving you two.
Nancy: Bye bye.
(TVB.com Man leaves.)
Nancy: Do you know what the question was?
(Nathan shakes his head.)
Nancy: He asked you: do you like me?
Nathan: Yes!
(Nancy turns her head.)
(TVB.com Man returns.)
TVB.com Man: Remember to watch TVB.com.
Nathan: TVB.com.
TVB.com Man: Yeah!
Nathan: Yeah!
TVB.com Man: Bye bye! (He leaves.)
Nathan: Wow!
Nancy: Ah, what a complete mess! (She shakes her head and leaves.)

《王老虎搶親》 "Wong Lo Fu Snatches Wife" Costume Fitting
CREDIT IF REPOSTED
Temporary Chinese title: 《王老虎搶親》
Pinyin title: Wong Lo Fu Cheung Chan
Temporary English title: "Wong Lo Fu Snatches Wife"
Producer: Poon Ka Tak
Attending Cast: Chin Ka Lok, Louisa So, Sammul Chan, Nancy Wu, Lee Kwok Lun, Rain Lau, Nicky Law, Natalie Wong, KK Cheung, Gigi Wong, Mimi Chu, Bak Yan, Catherine Chau, Chun Wong, So Yan Chi, Poon Fong Fong, Fanny Ip, Karen Lee, and Irene Wang.
Chin Ka Lok as Wong Tin Pau aka Wong Lo Fu (Nancy's brother).
Sammul as Chow Man Ban.
Nancy as Wong Sau Ying (Chin's sister).
This is not Chin Ka Lok's first leading role because, in 1999, he filmed Amy Wong Sam Wai's "A Matter of Business" with Ada Choi.
In the series, Louisa is a great fighter; even Chin Ka Lok is not her match.
Sammul has to pose as a woman in one the scenes in order to seduce Chin Ka Lok. Sammul also laughed and said that, out of all the siu sangs, his female look is the most realistic.
Nancy said that she will study Yam Bak's version of Tong Bak Fu and also Stephen Chow's "Flirting Scholar" as homework for the new series. She also added that she is bad at holding back her laughs, so she is afraid of NGs.
Rumoured Script: Sammul was dressed as a girl because Chin Ka Lok's family objects to Sammul going out with Nancy. Thus, Sammul and his friend, 'Juk Chi San', will trick Chin Ka Lok. Sammul dresses up as a girl to seduce Chin Ka Lok. Chin Ka Lik "snatches" girl-Sammul back to his house, and lock girl-Sammul in Nancy's room. The night goes by and, in the morning, they find out that Sammul was only posing a girl. Thus, Chin Ka Lok's family had to allow Sammul and Nancy to get married. Therefore, Sammul is the 'bride'. Ha ha...
FYI: The official English title of this series is "A Bride for a Ride".
FYI: Marco Ngai played Chow Man Ban in "The Legendary Four Aces".

A Blast from the Past: Olympic Six Stars
(Sammul Chan, Kenneth Ma, Raymond Lam, Lai Lok Yi, Ron Ng, and Bosco Wong)
Olympic Six Stars
"Athens Olympics, TVB Number One!" was TVB's slogan for 2004 Athens Olympic Games.
Olympic Six Stars MV
Olympic Six Stars @ Miss HK 2004
Opening Ceremony
In the blink of an eye, four years have passed and soon the Beijing summer games will begin.
At the time, Ron and Sammul were filming "The Academy", Raymond and Bosco were filming "Lethal Weapons of Love and Passion", Ma Ming was filming "Scavengers' Paradise", and Lai Lok Yi was about to film "Ten Brothers".
Raymond was not present at most of the Olympic functions because he was in Mainland filming LWOLAP; however, Bosco didn't have to film in all of the Mainland scenes. When he did go to Mainland, he and others went clubbing and was hit on the forehead with a beer bottle by some guys. When Bosco returned to HK, TVB held a press conference to explain the whole situation.
In the "Olympic Six Stars @ Miss HK 2004" clip, you can kind of see Bosco's scar on his forehead. Ron danced with Kate Tsui.
In the "Opening Ceremony" clip, Bosco stepped on Ma Ming.
In the "Olympic Six Stars MV" clip, Lai Lok Yi did fencing and high jump, Bosco did boxing, Raymond did basketball and javelin, Ron did discus and volleyball, and Ma Ming did shot put and soccer. Also, when the six of them were running, Ma Ming was the fastest followed by Ron, Sammul, Lai Lok Yi, and Raymond, while Bosco was the slowest.
