Simula pa lang ng programa, tinanong na nina Dennis Trillo at Carla Abellana ang council kung sa tingin ba nila ay gagamitin na nila ang Factor 2 sa wakas. All three Council members said no, pero they changed their minds later on nang makita si Sarah Lahbati at Rocco Nacino sa bottom group. Text and Photos by Jason John Lim.
Sa season na ito ng StarStruck, may limang factors na puwedeng magpabago ng takbo ng competition. Three of the factors have been introduced, and as of January 17, two of them have come into play na.
Factor 3 gave the audience the power to vote out two contestants; at ito ang naging dahilan sa pagkaka-eliminate kina Princess Snell at Piero Vergara. Pero Factor 2 is the power to save—more specifically, it's the power of the StarStruck Council, composed of Lolit Solis, Iza Calzado and Direk Floy Quintos, para ihinto ang elimination night kung sa tingin nila ay hindi deserving ang mga nasa bottom group para ma-eliminate.
And that's exactly what they did nang makita sina Sarah Lahbati at Rocco Nacino sa bottom two.
"Super thankful kami," Sarah says after the live episode. Dagdag niya, she felt blessed din na ginamit ng Council ang Factor 2 to save her and Rocco. "Hindi ko akalain."
Inamin ng dalaga na naging sobrang emotional sila sa stage earlier in the night, "kasi one of us, may chance na matanggal. Siyempre, nakakakaba."
Pero, at the same time, Rocco tells us na this will serve as a wake-up call para sa kanilang dalawa.
"Nakakatuwa na sinabi [ng Council] ‘yun na nakakahinayang," he begins, kaya naman ngayon ay mas pagbubutihan pa nila ni Sarah ang kanilang pakikipaglaban para sa Ultimate Survivor titles. "Ang dami pa naming kailangan gawin, [and] 'yung ginagawa namin ay kulang pa."
He adds, hindi na raw sila puwedeng magpaka-laidback ngayon.
This week, Sarah says magiging mas seryoso sila sa kanilang challenges at sa kanilang workshops. Something Rocco agrees to, dahil come Sunday, kailangan raw nilang dalawa na ma-impress hindi lang ang live audience at ang Council, kundi pati na ang mga fan base nila na nanunuod lang sa kani-kanilang mga bahay.
At sa paggamit ng Council sa kanilang one-time only power to stop the elimination, Rocco says wala naman daw lalaki ang ulo sa kanila ni Sarah. Now, more than ever, mas pressured sila to meet the Council's expectations.
He says, "doble na 'yung effort namin ngayon. Hindi namin hahayaan magsisi 'yung Council sa paggamit nila ng Factor 2."
Sa susunod na elimination night, dalawang contenders na ang puwedeng tamaan ng Factor 1. Factor 1 states na sa ikatlong pagkakasama ng isang contestant sa bottom group, it would mean an automatic elimination for them. And right now, both Ian Batherson and Nina Kodaka have been part of the bottom group twice.

I really don't like what happened last night at starstruck V elimination night. Very obvious na may favouritism ang mga council. And of course, I know naman kung sino ang favourite nila, OO, nga maganda nga, mukha naman bungalin.
