The dancers were Mark Neumann, Chris Leonardo, Aki Blanco, Shaira Mae, Chanel Morales and Julia Quisumbing. Mark and Chanel were the topnotchers while Chris was the lowest.
Brent, Chris and Benjo were the Bottom 3. One of them will be kicked out in the first elimination night on Monday. You can still vote to save them. At the dinner that followed, Brent, Chris and Benjo all expressed surprise that they were the Bottom 3 since Brent was introduced to the press as the best singer, Chris the best dancer and Benjo said acting is his edge over the others.
“I think nakanta ko naman ng maayos,” says Brent. “But they said may shield daw na nakaharang sa’kin and I didn’t feel the song. My movements daw are too big. Okay lang. I hope ma-save ako and I’ll do better next time.”
“I really can’t understand why I scored so low but I respect their decision,” says Chris. “I did my own choreography and it was just polished by G Force Dancers. Basta I know I did my best.”
Chris is the guy from Laguna raised by his grandparents. His mom is now married to a Japanese and lives in Japan where he has a 9-year old stepsister. He doesn’t know the nationality of his dad. “Alam ko lang, his surname is Petrou.”
“I swear I really prepared for my acting monologue,” says Benjo. “I memorized it over and over again. But while delivering it, the sides of my mouth froze at lumabas ang pagka-Bisaya ko. I know I wasn’t able to give my best in the live exams. It now motivates me to do better.”
