Hansen Nichols for BENCH

Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 ex-scholar Hansen "Sen" Nichols is one of the latest additions to BENCH's family of hot-bodied endorsers.

Though Hansen is yet to reveal his gorgeous body in a BENCH ad campaign, his ads for BENCH show a lot of promise.

He has already modeled for BENCH at the Philippine Fashion Week Holiday as well as for BENCH's Black to School and Global Awareness campaigns.

For now, Bugoy has two hits under his name: Paano Na Kaya and Muli.

Laarni on one hand is yet to prove her worth in the Top 20 Philippine Albums chart, but her single 'Kung Iniibig Ka Niya' has already debuted on Pinoy MYX Countdown last weekend. The single is currently at #20.

PDA Season 2 ends with a bang, beats Season 1's finale ratings

The 2-day finale or the Grand Dream Nights of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 last September 13 and 14 posted ratings considered to be one of the best finale ratings of ABS-CBN programs in the last three years.

The Performance Night last Saturday registered 31.8% rating in Mega Manila while the Awards Night on Sunday, with Laarni Lozada as the Grand Star Dreamer, had a finale rating of 36.1%.

The numbers posted are far higher than Season 1's Grand Dream Night, which only had 25.6%.

Taking a look at both Pinoy Big Brother and PDA finale ratings since 2005, the finale ratings of PDA Season 2: Awards Night is ranked 2nd best.

1. December 10, 2005 Pinoy Big Brother Season 1 41.2%
2. September 14, 2008 Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 36.1%
3. June 30, 2007 Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 34.3%
4. June 7, 2008 Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus 33.8%
5. January 05, 2008 Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 32.3%
6. September 13, 2008 Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 31.8%
7. June 03, 2006 Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition 1 28.5%
8. April 01, 2006 Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 1 27.6%
9. December 16, 2006 Pinoy Dream Academy Season 1 25.6%

However, when it comes to total text and online votes gathered, it seems that more viewers voted in Season 1 than in the 2nd season.

1. PBB Season 2 5,187,414 total votes
2. PDA Season 1 2,956,362
3. PDA Season 2 1,850,766
4. PBB Teen Edition Plus 1,710,145
5. PBB Celebrity Edition 2 1,573,938
6. PBB Teen Edition 1 1,512,218
7. PBB Celebrity Edition 1 1,292,821
8. PBB Season 1 1,134,185

After PDA, ABS-CBN will concentrate next on Pinoy Fear Factor, another franchise from Endemol, which is set to premiere this October, 2008.

PDA Season 2 Grand Star Dreamer

In just barely eight hours, we shall have the Grand Star Dreamer of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2.

Who will it be? Will it be the farmer's son Bugoy Drilon from Camarines Sur? or the online favorite Laarni Lozada from Sultan Kudarat?

How about the bestlooking of them all Van Roxas of Cebu?

Of course, Liezel Garcia, Cris Pastor and Miguel Mendoza are also putting up a good fight and could steal the spotlight from them.

During the Gala Performance Grand Dream Night last night, the partial tally of votes has been revealed with Scholar B already has over half a million votes:

Scholar A - 404,475 votes (28.02%)
Scholar B - 509,967 votes (35.33%)
Scholar C - 186,708 votes (12.94%)
Scholar D - 220,079 votes (15.25%)
Scholar E - 30,478 votes (2.11%)
Scholar F - 91,682 votes (6.35%)

One week before, the tally was this:

Scholar A - 20.27%
Scholar B - 38.98%
Scholar C - 11.28%
Scholar D - 20.18%
Scholar E - 3.15%
Scholar F - 6.15%

Nothing much changed, except for Scholar A's considerably large increase in votes, but still far away from Scholar B.

In Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition 2, Robi Domingo was leading during the initial tally one day before, but only to finish 2nd after Ejay Falcon during the Big night. On PDA, will Scholar A overtakes Scholar B in the end?

PDA Popularity Poll: Laarni climbs to #2, poses threat to Van

After the expulsion of Hansen 'Sen' Nichols last Saturday, Laarni Losala has taken over Sen's spot and becomes the 2nd most popular scholar of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2, according to Mykiru's Popularity Poll.

Laarni, who during Mykiru's first poll update was among the least popular scholars, has climbed up and now next to Cebu's pride Van Pojas, who is consistently leading the poll since it first started.

The independent woman from Sultan Kudarat must thank her huge followings among the TFC Subscribers as she may grab the top spot anytime soon.

Except for Apple Abarquez's expulsion last August 09, Mykiru's Popularity Poll has been held true since its conception in June.

Based on the poll results as of this writing, Van is still the #1 choice to be the Grand Star Dreamer of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 with Laarni coming close behind him:

Van Louelle Pojas (414) 22.57%
Laarni Losala (406) 22.14%
Maria Liezel Garcia (341) 18.59%
Jay 'Bugoy' Bogayon (335) 18.27%
Cristina 'Cris' Pastor (229) 12.49%
Miguel Mendoza (109) 5.94%

If you've been watching the primetime episodes of PDA this week, Miguel is so confident he will grab a higher ranking during the Grand Dream Night on September 14, 2008.

Little did he know he is by far the least favored among the Top 6.

The 6 remaining scholars were also asked to rank themselves and here's the over-all results:

1. Bugoy
2. Laarni
3. Liezel
4. Van
5.5 Cris (tie)
5.5 Miguel (tie)

PDA Scholar Laarni sings with Zsa Zsa Padilla on ASAP '08

As the Star Scholar of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 last August 16, 2008, Laarni Losala of Sultan Kudarat got the rare chance of performing live on ASAP '08 on Sunday, August 24, 2008.

Laarni sang the song Hiram with its original interpreter Ms. Zsa Zsa Padilla.

Watch video of the said duet... (Hurry! before it gets deleted):

Van and Sen are under probation

Two of the most popular scholars of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 are on probation this week.

They are Van Pojas and Sen Nichols.

Maituturing ngang sila ang bestlooking scholars ng PDA Season 2 pero dahil sa kakaunti na lamang sila ngayon sa loob ng Academy, mapapansin mo nang sila nga ang may pinaka-inferior pagdating sa boses.

Kaya naman, sa last gala performance night kagabi, sina Van at Sen ang nakakuha ng pinakamamabang scores mula sa judges at teachers.

Sinamantala ng PDA ang pagkakataon at inilagay agad ang dalawa sa probation. Isa sa kanila ay matatanggal sa Sabado.

Taliwas ito sa kinaugaliang proseso ng pagpili ng probationary scholars at for sure, hindi ito ikinatuwa ng mga fans nina Van at Sen.

Sa tingin ko nangangamba ang PDA sa magiging resulta ng Grand Dream Night sa September 13 at baka masungkit ng dalawa ang top slots kaya ganito ang nangyari.

On Mykiru's Popularity Poll, Van and Sen are considered the most favored scholars of the season.

For sure, PDA will solicit a large number of votes this week.

Just a rough estimate, Van will get 52.2% while Sen will have 47.8% of the total votes. A very close fight indeed.

***

Still about PDA...

Bading nga ba si Hansen Nichols.

Nu'ng nasa SOP pa lamang siya as one of the Take 5 Boys, isa na siya sa pinaghihinalaang bading.

At ngayong nasa PDA na siya, naungkat na naman ang issue.

Dahil siguro sa pagiging soft-spoken niya.

To the rescue agad ang isang PDA Observer:

"HANSEN is NOT GAY, I'm definitely sure! Madali naman kasi mapansin yung nagpapalalaki lang at yung straight talaga. Sa mga hindi nakakaalam laking California, USA si Sen kaya nga masyado siyang "slang" magsalita and yung gesture niya is iba sa atin (formal-type kasi financially stable), iyon ang epekto ng pagkakaroon ng different background. Gets??!!"

Narinig ko na ring magsalita ang twin brother ni Hansen na si Jannsen at soft-spoken din ito kung magsalita.

PDA Expulsion Night: Bunny vs Sen

The expulsion of Cebuana lass Apple Abarquez last Saturday, August 09, 2008, was not a surprise especially as far as Mykiru's Popularity Poll is concerned.

Though the poll failed generally by favoring Apple over Miguel Mendoza, the poll was able to put Laarni Losala on top of Apple and Miguel.

On my previous post, I even made a rough estimate that Laarni will get over 50% of the text votes.

Last expulsion night, Laarni got an actual votes of 72.74%, while Miguel got 13.96% and Apple had a very close 13.30%.

It was only a tight race between Apple and Miguel and the votes they got were considered very low as compared to that of Laarni.

There were three probees and it was indeed one great achievement for Laarni to get such very high percentage of votes.

If Laarni's popularity continues, she's a strong contender for the Final Top 3 slots of the season.

This week, another set of probees are up for expulsion on Saturday, August 16, 2008.

Bunny Malunda and Sen Nichols, two of the nicest scholars of PDA Season 2, are on probation and only one of them has to stay.

Without relying on polls, it's kinda obvious that Sen will be saved by texters.

On Mykiru's poll, Sen has votes twice more than Bunny.

Just a rough estimate... Sen will possibly have 69.3% while Bunny will get 30.7%.

After that, I think Inaki Ting will be the next to go.

PDA Expulsion Night: Apple vs Laarni vs Miguel

Three scholars of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 are on probation this week and one of them will leave tomorrow night.

They are Laarni Losala, Apple Abarquez and the only guy Miguel Mendoza.

Will the next expelled scholar be a "he" or a "she"?

Inaki Ting, who is one of the remaining scholars, has predicted that Laarni will be the next to go.

According to him, Cebuano viewers will not abandon Apple while Miguel has a great advantage because of his financial status.

He also emphasized that PDA viewers would not want another male scholar to leave, especially after Christian's expulsion two weeks ago.

But Mykiru's Popularity Poll doesn't agree with Inaki.

According to the poll, which now has a total of 2,050 votes as of this writing, Laarni is the most popular among the three probationary scholars and is most likely not leaving tomorrow.

Among the three, it's Miguel who is in great danger.

Based on the poll, the rough estimate of the three's precentage of votes would run this way: Laarni 55.4%, Apple 23.47 and Miguel 21.13.

On my part, I don't mind if Miguel has to go, because he's not getting more impressive each week.

As for Apple, she claims she gave her 100% during her last performance. But it wasn't her best. If she thinks it was already her all out performance, how can we expect something better than that?

Let's admit it. Laarni is getting better each week and if she will be expelled, it will just be so easy for other scholars, who are far inferior than her, to land on the Top 3.

At this point, the Academy still needs a scholar like Laarni so viewers could expect great performances on the coming weeks.

In the first place, Laarni should be the one saved by mentors instead of Bunny.

The mentors justified that they saved Bunny because of great improvements. I'm not against Bunny, but how can the mentors say that Bunny has improved, when in fact, she was on the bottom four for two consecutive weeks already?

On ABS-CBN Forum, Laarni is also the most favored among the three, followed by Miguel, then Apple.

Here's the partial results of Mykiru's Popularity Poll, with Van Pojas still leading the pack:

Van Louelle Pojas (312) 15%
Hansen 'Sen' Nichols (256) 12%
Laarni Losala (236) 12%
Maria Liezel Garcia (231) 11%
Jay 'Bugoy' Bogayon (226) 11%
Cristina 'Cris' Pastor (166) 8%
Chivas Anton Malunda (129) 6%
Jovanni 'Bunny' Malunda (118) 6%
Apple Abarquez (100) 5%
Miguel Mendoza (90) 4%
Ranjit 'Jet' Singh (36) 2%
Rafael Ignacio 'Iñaki' Ting (35) 2%
Jun Ross Dio (33) 2%
Michelle 'Sheng' Belmonte (29) 1%
Beatriz 'Bea' Muñoz (28) 1%
Christian Alvear (25) 1%

***

It's Midterms week in the Academy and the bottom three have just been announced today. They are Inaki, Bunny and Cris. One of them will be given an automatic probation for the next expulsion night, which is on August 16, 2008.

It has not been announced yet the scholar with the highest grade, who will be given an immunity from being one of the next set of probationary scholars.

PDA Season 2 Expulsion Night: Iñaki vs Christian

Two of the least popular scholars of Pinoy Dream Academy are on probation and one of them will be expelled tonight.

Who between Christian Alvear and Inaki Ting will complete the Headmaster's List (Top 10 scholars)?

Based on Mykiru's popularity poll, it's going to be a tough fight between the two but the majority of PDA viewers wouldn't even care as to whoever leaves tonight.

The poll says, Christian will leave the Academy.

On my part, I want Inaki to stay inside the Academy, because he can still improve. As for Christian, there will be no more improvement, unless he changes voice.

****

Still on Pinoy Dream Academy...

How true is the news that Bea Muñoz and Miguel Mendoza are not really lovers?

We have witnessed how the two acted out as boyfriend and girlfriend in the academy, had some romantic moments as well as non-sense fights.

The two also revealed they don't have commitments to each other and what they only have is an "open relationship."

Did they only use each other for the sake of being part of PDA?

On The Buzz, Bea even chose Bugoy over Miguel as the season's grand star dreamer.

****

Last night, it was revealed that Catherine 'Poy' Palma of Zamboanga City will be the season's Honorary Scholar and will have the privilege of becoming an official star if she fulfills the tasks given to her by the Academy.

On PDA's site, it is stated that the Honorary Scholar’s main task is to challenge the top ten Official Scholars, by being the Star Scholar of the Week.

If she does, she will have a P50,000 reward.

Three Star Scholar of the Week titles for Poy would mean either P150,000 and leave the Academy or officially become a Scholar and the rare chance of being the Grand Star Dreamer of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2.

****

Also revealed last night were the scholars' General Point Average and leading them is Liezel Garcia.

Here's the rankings of the scholars based on their previous performances.

1. Liezel 8.86
2. Bugoy 8.10
3. Laarni 7.20
4. Apple 7.02
5. Van 7.00
6. Iñaki 6.77
7. Miguel 6.76
8. Sen 6.73
9. Bunny 6.66
9. Christian 6.66
10. Cris 6.34

PDA Popularity Poll: Who's going up?

Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 Van Pojas and Hansen Nichols (photo) maintain great popularity by leading Mykiru's Popularity Poll, but two other scholars are posing big threats in grabbing the top spots.

Bicol's Bugoy has climbed up, now in the 3rd place, tied with equally talented Liezel Garcia.

The Bicolano pride has a lot of supporters, but he should learn to make the best out of it, by focusing more on his lessons in the Academy and not by concentrating on his "matters of the heart" with Van and Sen.

Liezel, on one hand, has been consistently receiving high grades and if that continues, she's going to be a top contender for the Top 3 Grand Dreamers.

Cristina Pastor's popularity has slipped, dropping from 3rd place to 5th.

Would you believe, "breakdown" girl Laarni Losala is far more popular than four other scholars, who are still in the academy, including Miguel Mendoza?

For tomorrow's expulsion night, it is expected that voters will favor Miguel over his girlfriend Bea Muñoz.

Despite two consecutive good performances, Christian Alvear is still the least favored scholar of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 as far as Mykiru's poll is concerned.

Here's the partial results of Mykiru's Popularity Poll:

Van Louelle Pojas 16%
Hansen 'Sen' Nichols 12%
Jay 'Bugoy' Bogayon 11%
Maria Liezel Garcia 11%
Cristina 'Cris' Pastor 9%
Chivas Anton Malunda 7%
Jovanni 'Bunny' Malunda 6%
Apple Abarquez 6%
Laarni Losala 6%
Miguel Mendoza 5%
Ranjit 'Jet' Singh 3%
Jun Ross Dio 2%
Beatriz 'Bea' Muñoz 2%
Michelle 'Sheng' Belmonte 2%
Rafael Ignacio 'Iñaki' Ting 2%
Christian Alvear 2%

Van Pojas, a playful type of guy

Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 scholar Van Louelle Pojas gets playful on these pre-PDA photos:

Van Pojas leading Mykiru's Popularity Poll

Cebuano hottie Van Louelle Pojas is leading the Popularity Poll that I conducted since the start of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2.

Just like in Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus, it is one indicator that Van is going to secure an important spot in the Grand Dream Night.

Following Van are Hansen Nichols and Cris Pastor, two other best-looking scholars in the Academy.

Sheng Belmonte's expulsion last night was no surprise because in Mykiru's poll, she is one of the least popular scholar of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2. She was pitted against Jet Singh, who is more popular than her.

Despite being expelled already, Chivas Malunda is still one of the Top 5 Most Popular scholars.

After being the Star Scholar for three consecutive weeks, Liezel Garcia is gaining grounds and now ranks after Cris as most favored female scholar.

It's safe to say that Bea Muñoz, Iñaki Ting and Christian Alvear have lesser followings as compared to the other scholars, as far as popularity poll is concerned.

Here's the partial results of Mykiru's Popularity Poll:

Van Louelle Pojas (129) 15%
Hansen 'Sen' Nichols (103) 12%
Cristina 'Cris' Pastor (79) 9%
Jay 'Bugoy' Bogayon (75) 9%
Chivas Anton Malunda (72) 8%
Maria Liezel Garcia (70) 8%
Apple Abarquez (57) 7%
Jovanni 'Bunny' Malunda (54) 6%
Miguel Mendoza (43) 5%
Laarni Losala (42) 5%
Ranjit 'Jet' Singh (31) 4%
Jun Ross Dio (28) 3%
Michelle 'Shen' Belmonte (21) 2%
Beatriz 'Bea' Muñoz (19) 2%
Rafael Ignacio 'Iñaki' Ting (15) 2%
Christian Alvear (14)

Chivas Malunda, expelled from the Academy

Two days before the 1st Probation Night, nagdesisyon na ang pamunuan ng Pinoy Dream Academy na patawan ng Forced Expulsion si Chivas Anton Malunda ng Negros Oriental dahil sa isyung pangkalusugan.

Inatake na naman kasi si Chivas ng kanyang sakit sa ikatlong pagkakataaon nung Huwebes ng umaga at sa kadahilanang ito, ay nagdesisyon ang Academy na patalsikin na si Chivas bago pa man lumala ang lahat.

Bagamat pabor ito sa mga fans ng mga probationary scholars na sina Laarni Losala at Iñaki Ting, marami rin ang nadismaya sa desisyong ito ng Academy.

Ayon pa sa mga texters, bakit kung kelan dalawang araw na lang bago mag-probation night ay saka sinuspende ang botohan samantalang pwede na itong isuspende noong Linggo pa lamang, kung kelan ay nagkaroon ng pangalawang atake si Chivas sa loob ng Academy.

Pilit ng nakararami, perahan na naman ba ito?

Sana raw ay itinuloy ang botohan kung sino ang dapat manatili kina Laarni at Iñaki dahil marami-rami na rin daw ang kanilang naiboto mula pa noong Linggo.

Since 2 weeks pa lang naman ang mga scholars sa loob ng Academy, naghanap na lang daw sana ng bagong ipapalit kay Chivas.

Nakakapanghinayang si Chivas. Maganda pa naman ang kanyang naging performance noong Gala Night at isa siya sa pinaka-popular na scholars ng Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2.

Ang kanyang maybahay na si Bunny ay naiwan sa loob ng Academy upang ipagpatuloy ang kanilang nasimulang laban.

***

Still on Pinoy Dream Academy, sa puntong ito ay masasabing sina Van Louelle Pojas at Hansen Nichols ang mahigpit na magkalaban pagdating sa paramihan ng fans.

Sayang si Ranjit 'Jet' Singh. Maganda ang kanyang pagsisimula sa Academy ngunit unti-unting lumalabas ang kanyang hind kaaya-ayang pag-uugali. May "kaunting" yabang ito at hindi gentleman pagdating sa kanyang mga pananalita, especially kay Laarni. Hindi ko makalimutan 'yung sinabi niyang baka masampal niya si Laarni nang dahil lamang sa tinapay.

Sa mga babae naman ay lamang sina Cris Pastor at Apple Abarquez, ngunit dahil sa pagiging close ni Apple kay Bea Muñoz at sa kanilang pagba-backstab kay Laarni ay mukhang maapektuhan ito.

Negative kasi ngayon ang pangalan ni Bea dahil sa pagiging antipatika nito at masyadong mapapel sa loob ng Academy.

Kung may natutuwa kay Bugoy, meron din namang hindi natutuwa sa kanya at isa na ako roon. Bagamat kababayan ko siya from Camarines Sur, hindi ko nagustuhan nang itanggi niyang hindi siya bading samantalang numero uno siyang naghahasik ng kabaklaan sa loob ng Academy.

Mukhang may gusto nga siya kay Hansen at big deal sa kanya kapag hindi siya pinapansin nito.

Ayaw na ayaw ko rin ang paggamit ni Bugoy ng kanyang pinanggalingan niya bilang anak ng magsasaka sa kanyang pakikibaka sa Academy. Kagaya ni Rosita Bareng ng PDA Season 1, ginagamit niya rin ang kanyang mga kakulangan upang mapansin at makakuha ng simpatiya mula sa manonood.

Maliban kay Bugoy, ayaw ko rin sa mga scholars na sina Iñaki Ting dahil sa pagiging mayabang at si Christian Alvear dahil sa pagiging sensitibo pagdating sa kanyang height. Paano makakapamuhay nang normal si Christian kung patuloy siyang magpapaapekto sa kanyang kakulangan?

Sa pagkakaligtas naman ni Laarni from expulsion ngayong Sabado, may pagkakataon na siyang ipamukha na mas magaling siya kumpara sa iba. Makatulong kaya ang paglipat niya ng org, mula One Voice patungong Pupilars, sa kanyang mga susunod na performances?

Pakatutukan palagi ang Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 gabi-gabi sa ABS-CBN.

Shirtless Geoff Taylor

Geoffrey 'Geoff' Taylor is a model and ex-scholar of ABS-CBN's Pinoy Dream Academy. He returns in the music scene as he stages a mini-concert entitled Feel-Ahhh on March, 14, 2008 at the Pila Covered Court in Laguna, with guests Chx Alcala and Rodney Pablo.

Jay-R Siaboc admits "past experience" with a gay

Kasagsagan pa lang ng Pinoy Dream Academy noong 2006, naging usap-usapan na si Jay-R Siaboc diumano'y pa-booking sa mga bading sa kanyang bayan sa Cebu.

Tandang-tanda ko pa ito dahil ako noo'y babad sa PDA forum ng ABS-CBN at sabi pa ng ilan ay hindi na nakakapagtakang may nakaraan si Jay-R sa bading dahil na rin sa estado ng kanyang pamumuhay at kinalakhan.

Mr. Hilot kung tawagin, naging maningning ang pangalan niya sa kakaibang karisma meron siya, lalung-lalo na sa mga bading.

Nakapanood na rin ako ng kanilang mall tour noon at 'di maikakailang marunong makisama si Jay-R sa mga bading.

Magiliw ika nga, na kahit hablutin at i-harass na siya nung mga wild na wild na mga bading sa side habang kumakanta si Jay-R, okay lang sa kanya at naawat lamang nang maagap na lumapit ang mga guard.

At ngayon nga'y dumadami ang kanyang raket sa telebisyon, siya'y pinagdududahang alaga ng isang gay executive ng network.

Sunud-sunod kasi ang kanyang projects, kaya hindi malayong pag-isipan siya ng ganito.

Nabigyang kahulugan pa nga ang pagpasok ng kanyang girlfriend na si Irish Fullerton sa Princess Sarah noon at ayon sa ilan, package deal daw ang dalawa.

Napabalita ring ang kanyang sasakyan ay bigay diumano ng isang gay benefactor, na mabilis namang pinabulaanan ni Jay-R.

Marahil bago pa man lumala ang mga usaping ito, inamin ni Jay-R na may "experience" na sya sa bading.

Sa ulat ni Joe Barrameda ng Abante-Tonite, walang kagatul-gatol na inamin ng binata na siya ay may karanasan na sa bading.

Bagamat hindi binigyang diin kung ito'y noon pang nasa Cebu pa siya o ngayong nasa showbiz na, isa itong kahanga-hangang pag-amin at sana'y dumami pa ang katulad niya, ang tulad niyang pumapatol sa bading (ay mali!), este marunong magsabi ng totoo.
