Ellen Adarna Admits She's Sore At Maria Isabel Lopez Up To Now After 'Survivor Philippines'

Ellen Adarna
ELLEN ADARNA says she’s surprised as to why some writers seem to want to see Sam Pinto and her fighting over who’s the more popular FHM cover between them. “Tinext nga ako ni Sam,” she says. “Sabi niya, nag-aaway ba tayo? I said, huwag na lang pansinin.” Read, Sam Pinto Says She Shouldn't Be Compared With Ellen Adarna.

Is it true she drew more fans during her autograph-signing session? “I don’t know, hindi ko naman nakita yung fans na luminya kay Sam.” But it’s the FHM people who say this. “Kung totoo, di sige.” Would she really like to be No. 1 this year, replacing Sam? “I’d be a hypocrite naman if I’d say no. Sino bang may ayaw maging sexiest Pinay? Lahat siguro, gusto. Pero wala sa isip ko na kailangan, ako maging number one. But kung ibibigay, di sige, salamat.”

How does she feel when she’s compared to Sam? “Very proud. Siya yung current number 1, di ba?” Who’s sexier between them? “I think siya. She’s tall, 5’1” lang ako, e.” What’s her vital stats? “34-26-33. Hindi ko alam yung sa kanya.”

She comes from a rich family in Cebu that owns a chain of motels and a construction company. Her parents are against her joining showbiz. “Noon, ayaw nila, but now, tanggap na nila.” How about her siblings? “Okay lang sa kanila, but lahat sila, hindi mahilig sa showbiz, e. So they don’t watch me in ‘Bubble Gang’ or ‘Survivor’ or even in my new show na ‘Alice Bungisngis and Her Wonder Walis’.”

It’s obvious she and her BF Filo left “Survivor Philippines” because of their aversion to Maria Isabel Lopez. “Ayoko umalis, but then, kung si Filo lang ang aalis at maiiwan akong mag-isa, tiyak malulungkot lang ako, so I left na rin. But no regrets.” See article, Maria Isabel Lopez: The Most Hated Castaway In Survivor Philippines.

Has she and Maribel talked since then? “No, wala naman kaming dapat pag-usapan, e. But we’re supposed to be doing an indie film soon for Direk Topel Lee.” So what would she do then? “Trabaho naman yun, e di trabaho lang. Magkikita rin kami lahat sa final night ng ‘Survivor’ on February 10.”

Who does she think should win? “Maey or Betong kasi magkakasama kami in one tribe kaya naging close kami. Kung sa other tribe, I want KC Montero to win kasi hindi siya dirty maglaro.”
