Prelude: Maite Delgado did not win Miss Venezuela 1986 (where she lost to eventual Miss Universe 1986 Barbara Palacios-Teyde which she hosted Miss Venezuela in 1990-1996) yet she will become a long time main host of Miss Venezuela pageant from 1997 to 2010 and 2013.
It seemed that Mayanne Mak get the same fate as Maite when she became the main host of Miss Hong Kong pageant since 2017. Before that she competed at Miss Hong Kong 2011 where she finished 3rd Runner Up at the pageant. Her promotion as host of the finals came to light as TVB made changes after their long time host Eric Tsang's (hosted and appeared at Miss HK for more than 20 years) relationship went cold. After her stint at Miss Hong Kong 2017 and other appearance she won TVB Anniversary Award for Most Improved Female Artiste the following year. Now she is paired up by veteran host Carol Cheng at Miss Hong Kong from 2018-2020.
