What's the deeper meaning of 配跑?
It was &quot;陪跑&quot; = &quot;also-run&quot; (to accompany the one who will win in a competition,  with little chance of winning herself)
It came from a Chinese saying 陪太子讀書 (to accompany the prince in studying) meaning 'you are just there to take part, not expecting to win - your role is to make the prince (winner) look good'
The question: &quot;Besides yourself, which contestant do you consider come here to be your also-ran?&quot;. The host wanted to ask if she considers herself should win, who will be the runners-up? but &quot;陪跑&quot; might not be a very accurate term to describe the runners-up. If someone ends up being the runner-up, she did have a chance of winning

also-ran: a contestant that does not win

The comment was &quot;佢明唔明咩意思?&quot; (does she understand what it means?) When saying 明唔明/ming4 m4 ming4/ too quickly the /m4/ sound might merge with the beginning of the second /ming4/ and the phrase would sound like /ming(mm)ing(4)/
