StarStruck V's Final 14

Ian Batherson, Sef Cadayona, Rocco Nacino
From my list of 5 favorites, the one that I favored the most didn't make it to the top 14. Well, the other 4 did, so I'm happy just the same. On the guys, there's Ian Batherson, and I like him for his physique. Actually, if the network is gonna build him up as a hunky star like Aljur Abrenica, Ian's body is already prepared for it. No more tedious workout to be done.


Enzo Pineda, Steven Silva, Piero Vergara
Steven Silva and Piero Vergara are 2 of my 5 personal bets. Steven because he's singkit, and Piero because he has a Jake Cuenca angle.

The girls are fine, even if one of my two favorite girls didn't make it.


Fianca Cruz, Sarah Lahbati, Diva Montelaba
Good thing the biatch didn't get in. What's her name? Astrid? The girl she was bullying got in, though - the Dean's Lister named Rox Montealegre.


Rox Montealegre, Princess Snell
Princess Snell used to be with ABS-CBN's Star Magic.


She was known as Kristina Snell over there.

Now this 3 are the ones who got in from the worldwide 8.


Rye Burgos, Nina Kodaka, Zeryl Lim
I still can't believe Naomi King didn't get in.

PBB Double Up – There Goes Rob

Rob got the boot. Thanks God it's neither Jason, Carol, nor Rica. I wanted Rob or Patrick out just to give justice to what they did to Rica.

And Rocky said he called Rica a "sheman" because he's already so comfortable with the girls? Oh c'mon. Then why did he say that when only the boys could hear?

I don't know but this "getting comfortable" thing isn't selling. If they're really just "already comfortable" with the girls, then they would have said all those things they talked about in private in front of the girls.

But wow! Rica got a whooping 38.55% followed by Jason with 35.81%. Carol also got a high percentage of votes (15.11%) compared to Patrick with only 6.21% and the evictee, Rob, with only 4.32%.

Seems like the televiewers don't give their votes to just looks anymore. Good thing. Cuz I'm really going for either Melay or Jason =)

PBB Double Up: Goodbye Patria

Riza Mae Patria got the lowest number of text votes in last night's elimination with 7.40%. On the other hand, Carol garnered the highest percentage of 69.51%. Rob and Yuri were safe with 11.74% and 11.35% respectively.

From the PBB site:
"Patria is said to be House B’s answer to the talkative and funny Melisa Cantiveros of House A. Patria left her family and friends in Siquijor to join PBB in hopes of winning the top prize. Despite her loss, Patria left the house rich in experiences and new friends. She was fetched from the house by her best friend and was welcomed by other ex-housemates. Patria said that she will miss everything inside Kuya’s house, but she remains positive that things will still turn out for the best for her here in the outside world."

The housemates will again give points of nomination tonight. One from House B (who won in the weekly task) will be in danger of being eliminated, while three housemates from House A (who lost in the weekly task) will be included in the text polls.

It's also tonight the the said Big Storm will be revealed.

Meanwhile, House A's Melissa and Jason will be on ASAP 09 later alongside ex-housemates Tom Mott and Princess Manzon.

Rhap Salazar on Ellen

Oops! Looks like someone is following the footsteps of Charice. No other than the best friend himself, Rhap Salazar.

Reports say that Ellen Degeneres, the host who first guested Charice in her show (which eventually paved the way to the young diva's international opportunities), also showed interest in Rhap Salazar's vocal powers. Reason why Rhap is in Los Angeles right now.

Rhap recently won the major awards in the 13th World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA) in Los Angeles, California. He bagged the top titles Junior Grand Champion Performer of the World and Junior Grand Champion Solo Vocalist of the World.

With the quality and range of Rhap's voice, I'm sure he'll wow them all and the guesting will be a blast.

I just hope that they won't use another sad story of poverty to make someone from the Philippines become interesting. C'mon guys, these kids can sing. Make that their selling point.

PBB Double Up: Rocky Salumbides Enters the House

Tom Mott got the forced boot last Saturday due to some violations of the house rule. Prior to that, female housemate Yhel also received the same fate. So they're now being replaced with Rocky Salumbides (aka the current boyfriend of the award-winning actress Eula Valdez) and a certain Sam Pinto.



We know Rocky for his modeling stints abroad.

He actually won the Best Male Model of the World 2004 in Istanbul and it paved the way for international opportunities.

He was a featured Cosmo Hunk in 2008 and almost always on the catwalk of big fashion events (read: underwear shows) here in the country.

Congratulations Amanda!

Amanda Colley Van Cooll won in the second season of Survivor Philippines. She bested 15 other contestants won the hearts of the jury in the end.

The half-Pinay, half-American construction worker in Alaska but had lived in Mindoro prior to the contest had her chance to turn the cards when her friend Mika (who lasted in the competition for up to the Top 5) gave her the moment to speak her heart out. Her family's situation seemed to win over the jury's hearts.

Many fans of the show thought it would be Justine Ferrer, the transexual castaway from Caloocan. But in a contest like this, there's really no telling who would win.

Unlike the first season, Palau had no leakage as to who would win. There were rumors that Jef Gaitan would emerge as the winner, but it was only good for what it was – a rumor.

Perhaps it was also the reason why GMA-7 chose to have a Top 3 this season instead of the first season's Top 2 – to eliminate the speculations and leakage.

It was also said that no one really knew the winner until last night, when the live finale was held at the Studio 5 of GMA Network Studios.

Despite the harsh words and betrayal that happened to them in the game, the Top 3 seemed to have forgiven one another for what happened. Justine even apologized to Amanda and her family last night for the things that she said which was aired on the last few episodes of the show. She said she also couldn't believe what she did and she requested that they give her a chance to prove herself worthy of Amanda's friendship.

I guess everyone was forgiving as Justine and Amanda were in Eat Bulaga! this afternoon as a pair in one of the noontime show's contests. They even won, mind you.

The two, with Jef, were also in an interview with Butch Francisco in Star Talk. Justine was so pretty and sad to say, even with makeup on, Amanda still looks like a tomboy. But it's an easy fix, I guess. All she needs is… a good stylist.

Catch Amanda and Mika later on Pinoy Records, and Echo Caceres on Wish Ko Lang. And of course, don't forget the Survivor Reunion Special tomorrow night on GMA-7's Sunday Night Box Office (SNBO).

SP: Palau - The Final Three

Part 2 of the Tribal Council had been full of anger. The desperation among each of the four remaining ones were so evident. There was this side of Charles that came out - that angry and palaban side of him. He had always been calm, with moderate voice, even during the heat of Justine's freak-out moment back at the camp. But it was different at the Tribal Council. He was even commanding Jef to tell the truth in a not so subtle manner.

Jef told Paolo that she's going to go with the original plan. At first it could be thought of as the plan she had agreed on with Justine and Charles, but which was later to be revealed that original meant her first alliance.

Charles chose to have the 2-million-peso condo unit, and eventually gave the Immunity Necklace to Justine. But unluckily, Charles was the one who got voted out.

There was a tie at first - with Jef and Amanda going against Charles, and Charles and Justine going against Amanda. Jef and Justine were made to vote again but same thing happened. Jef voted against Charles and Justine also still voted against Amanda.

In that case, Charles and Amanda were made to battle it out in a challenge of making fire. Amanda was able to keep her fire burning long enough to make her string break and likewise, break Charles desire to be among the Top 3.

The castaways will face the jury tomorrow. The preview showed Tara bashing Jef, Echo bashing Amanda, and Mika bashing Justine.

The Friday finale is already so near. Don't fail to catch the last 2 episodes of Survivor Philippines: Palau on GMA-7, right after Rosalinda.

SP: Palau - The Desperation Arises

Amanda talked to Charles in going against Justine. She pointed out to Charles that he has no chance in winning the top prize if he's going to compete it out with Justine. Charles somehow believed Amanda that's why he promised to give her the Immunity Necklace. But Justine somehow overheard it all, especially Jef and Amanda's conversation of plotting to vote Justine out.

Justine was furious. She kept on insisting that Amanda shouldn't have told them that she's already accepted her fate and ready to go home; that Amanda shouldn't have talked to Charles and Jef anymore to get her alliance's trust. It must be too hard for Justine knowing how gullible Jef and Charles were.

Charles decided that they should already be honest to one another. And amid the shouts and angry outbursts, Charles started telling Amanda of his decision. Justine was the one who broke it, though - that she was the one Charles decided to give the Immunity Necklace to at the Tribal Council.

Due to anger, Justine broke their pot. And they only have one.

At the Tribal Council, Paolo asked Charles if he'd take the condo unit or the Immunity Necklace. Charles took the condo, and Paolo took the Immunity Necklace from him.

If last season's castaways were made to voice out what they feel one by one, it was different tonight. One of the four remaining castaways would have to go out of earshot, while Paolo talked to the other 3 castaways about the one outside.

Amanda was asked to go out first. When Paolo asked Justine of her opinion if Amanda was deserving to be the winner, Justine said that Amanda was deserving if for her strength, but not as a person.

Part 2 of the Tribal Council will be aired tomorrow, the 3rd to the last episode of the season.

Would Charles really hand over the Immunity Necklace to Justine? Would Jef let her emotions take over her decision?

SP: Palau - Charles Wins Immunity/Condo Unit

Amanda was so disappointed with what happened to Mika and after the Tribal Council, she kept her distance from the other 3 castaways. She slept on the other side of the shelter and she didn't speak at all.

Charles got the tree mail that told them of the last Immunity Challenge. It's another test of endurance as whoever could hold the string to keep a 50-pound crate high above the ground and without going beyond the designated point, wins.

Amanda's tears fell when Paolo told them they could also win a 2-million-peso condo unit if they won in the challenge. Perhaps she's thinking that Mika could have been there with her, and could have fought the challenge with her.

Jef was the first to give up. Judging from their physical forms it's not surprising that she wouldn't carry on a task that hard. Second was Justine. I'm guessing she didn't persevere enough. Perhaps because she thought she's already so safe? Amanda was crying before she gave up. It had been too hard for her at that time when she had shown great endurance skills in the previous challenges. Mika's eviction really took a great part of Amanda's spirit. She felt alone. She even said in a confessional that she was afraid to go back to camp after the last Tribal Council because her only one ally left is already gone. She even described Justine, Jef, and Charles as devils.

Charles, the last Immunity Challenge winner, couldn't have the best of both worlds. He could only have one of the rewards, that is, either immunity or the 2-million condo. If he chose the condo, the Immunity Necklace wouldn't go to waste. He had to pass it on to a fellow remaining castaway.

The problem arose when Jef told Justine and Charles that she couldn't vote against Amanda. She thought, anyway, that it wouldn't matter anymore because Justine and Charles were voting for Amanda at the next Tribal Council. But of course Justine saw the downside of it. What if Amanda also voted against the the person that Jef voted against? They would have a tie.

More problem would arise if Amanda would learn that Jef couldn't (for the sake of friendship) vote against her.

Would the next Tribal Council have another tie just like what happened to Suzuki and Justine?

Catch the 4 remaining episodes of Survivor Philippines: Palau right after Rosalinda on GMA.

SP: Palau - Mika's Fight Ends

Amanda and Mika turned to Charles when they were quite sure Jef's not with them anymore. But despite the pinky promise Charles made with Mika, he remained true to Justine and Jef. The three voted for Mika, while Amanda and Mika voted for Jef.

Tara and Echo made a high-five when Mika was announced eliminated. Tara even kept fanning herself with her hand. Such victory for them to have Mika out and join them in the jury panel.

Anyway, the tree mail bore a twist. It said that a 7-member jury will choose the winner among the three remaining castaways. So it's gonna be a Top 3 for this season. And we were wrong in predicting that they're gonna eliminate 2 castaways next week before the Live Finale.

Just one more castaway out and they're off to the Finals! Would it be Amanda? Or Charles? It would actually depend on who would win the last Immunity Necklace for the season.

Is the supposed leakage about the 2nd Sole Survivor true? It had been circulating in the blogosphere recently that Jef is the winner. How about that?

Not bad at all. But if we were to choose, we'd definitely pick Justine.

SP: Palau - Amanda Wins Immunity (Again)

There are five towers which the five remaining castaways should climb. But before that, they have to get the ladder parts locked inside the crates submerged under the sea. And since the crates are locked, they have to search for the keys that are buried under the sands first before hitting the water.

Once they have fit the planks of wood that will serve as ladders in the tower, they will then have to climb to the top in order to pull a string that would raise their flags. The first castaway with the flag up wins the Immunity Challenge.

Amanda found her key first followed by Jef, Charles, Mika, and Justine in that order. While swimming towards her crate, something happened to Jef that made her call out to Mika saying "Mikes, di ko na kaya."

Mika helped Jef and naturally, Jef felt guilty about betraying Mika with regards to their alliance. But not for long. Jef only had to talk to Amanda and know that they could only bring her up to top 3 to make change her heart.

Amanda won the challenge. She had the advantage of an early start when she luckily found the key to her crate so ahead of everyone else.

Despite helping Jef out, Mika was still able to go neck to neck with Amanda. Mika could have won, actually, if she had the prescence of mind to put the second to the last plank of wood through the hole on the other side of the tower.

Mika and Amanda talked to Jef to know if she's still with them, or is she with Justine and Charles. Jef said she's not sure. And realized in the end that everything depended on her. Amanda and Mika needed her side, as well as Justine and Charles. Whoever she'd side with in the next Tribal Council will actually win.

Things would be different, though, if she sided with Justine and Charles. She had the feeling she would have the chance to be one of the top 2 if ever she sided with them.

Who will be voted out tomorrow? Will Jef have the heart to vote against Mika? The one who helped her from drowning?

Survivor Philippines: Palau is almost at its end. Two more castaways will be eliminated next week before the live finale next Friday, November 13th.

Aga Muhlach on Charity Works and New Movies

Aga Muhlach is busy with helping kids affected by the flood in the recent typhoons. He has been working with Jollibee for the past 20 years in giving gifts to the needy kids during the holidays, but according to Aga, next year is going to be bigger because they will not only be doing outreach programs during the Christmas season but all year round.

Aside from charity, Aga will also be busy with his acting career next year. After the movie with Regine Velasquez, which they are currently shooting now, he's also going to do a movie with Lea Salonga and another with Angel Locsin.

Aga and Regine had 2 blockbusters in the past - 1998's Dahil May Isang Ikaw and 2001's Pangako Ikaw Lang. They're reunited after 8 long years in this Joyce Bernal-directed romantic film with the working title of Of All the Things.

Aga and Lea also had 2 movies in the past to back them up - 1992's Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal? and 1995's Sana Maulit Muli. Will they still have a following after more than a decade of not being together? Remains to be seen.

Angel Locsin, on the other hand, is going to be paired with Aga for the first time. The actor had been paired with Kristine Hermosa, Angelica Panganiban, and Anne Curtis in the past, and it seems like Aga is becoming any young actress's dream leading man.

Either that, or Aga is being paired with them to keep his name on top. Just my two cents, though.

But then Aga is a good actor for sure. Proof is, he's among those being considered for the role of Ninoy Aquino in the movie about the late President Corazon Aquino's life.

Langit-Lupa

If Amanda and Mika felt like 7-year-olds with the dolphins, the other 3 castaways also had so much fun playing Langit-Lupa at the camp. Jef was so happy she wished Amanda and Mika wouldn't go back just yet so they won't be stressed.

The three made a plan of telling Amanda and Mika that they had already told Charles about his fate, so Charles should act sad like he already knew he'd be voted off. They had to make Mika and Amanda feel that they still had the girls' alliance.

The Immunity Challenge had been explained and the episode showed some teasers for tomorrow. Something happened to Jef, though, while in the water-part of the challenge like she called for help and Mika narrated how Jef, panicking, asked her for help.

I really just hope that Justine's plans would work out.
