New Rule: Because of Kristoff?

The producers of the Pinoy Dream Academy, with a go-signal from the Endemol, changed the rules. For those who will be nominated or under probation for 5 times, s/he will be automatically expelled. Headmaster Jim Paredes announced this last night saying that they do this just to protect the Academy and to ensure its level of excellence.

They announced this after the 4th Expulsion Night. Could it be because Kristoff was saved by the texters twice?

Kung ako nga rin ang tatanungin, ini-expect ko na si Yeng ang mananalo sa text votes. Di ba number 1 na ang song niya sa mga FM stations dito? And just basing from this site, she really has more fans than Kristoff. Kristoff got 4o+% of the vote. And, I'm surmising that Yeng was the one with 30+%.

May point nga naman ng producers. Kasi kahit laging nanonominate ang isang "less superior" scholar, eh kung masisave nman siya ng texters lagi, wala ring silbi ang jurors nila.

Pero, marami nga siguro ang nag-vote kay Kristoff. Di natin masasabi. Pero, isipin din natin na maraming nag-vote sa kanya sa ibang bansa. Kung bibisitahin niyo ang Digital Martian (that's the only way TFC viewers can vote), makikita mo nga na isang entry lang 40 votes na agad.

Anyway, I agree with the change of rules. However, it should have been foreseen by the producers earlier in the season.

PDA's 5th Probation Night

The Jury of Three comprised of Vernee Varga, Leah Navarro, and Jimmy ANtiporda decided on the following students to be under probation:
  • RJ
  • Kristoff
  • Michelle
  • Iya
Based from their performances the other night, the choices were fair. However, I was also expecting Rosita to be included. Napiyok na siya, wala pa sa timing.

Oona's Out

Oona pictures pinoy dream academy siteOona, the class president of the Pinoy Dream Academy, was voted out last night. The voters once again saved Kristoff for the second time; Yeng saved by the teachers; and Davey, by their co-scholars.

I like Oona's version of Out Here On My Own, though.

Good luck to Oona.
