Say Goodbye to the Small Boy Wonder

The people have spoken, and they chose Iñaki to fill in the final spot of the Headmaster’s list of top ten scholars. It was definitely a close fight, and unfortunately, Christian was on the losing end, with only 43.99 percent of the total votes. His emotion towards his expulsion was apparent as he sang his final song on the Performance Hall stage.

Though Christian’s exit brought melancholy, all in all, the entire show was a blast. The three jurors, namely Louie Ocampo, Verni Varga and Gerard Salonga, couldn’t be happier with the Acadremians’ trio performances. They were indeed impressed that the scholars are finally doing their best on stage. The judges couldn’t help but exclaim how pleased they were to finally find themselves enjoying while watching all of the scholars perform.

With too much amusement, the jurors just couldn’t stop giving out high grades all through out the night. Sen, Van and Bugoy’s group was one of the lucky trios who had received a generous grade from the jurors for their a capella version of the song Yesterday. Their rendition seemed to be too good to be true that it left Gerard Salonga in awe and speechless. Their superb performance also earned them the title Best Performance of the Night.

In line with announcements, the Scholars were also informed that there will be no probationary scholars for this week, thus there will be no expulsion taking place next Saturday. Instead of losing a co-scholar, surprisingly, they will be gaining another one—an honorary scholar tasked to challenge the Headmaster’s Top 10. The said addition to the Academy was one of the wait-listed Dreamers in the final casting—Poy from Zamboanga. The honorary scholar’s job is to grab the top spot from the scholars in three consecutive performance nights. In doing so, she will win P50,000 a night or a total of P150,000 which will be deducted from the three Star Dreamers’ pot money of P1.8 million. Poy will also have the chance to choose to return the money the money and become and official scholar instead.

Will Poy be able to accomplish her tasks as an honorary scholar? How will the original scholars take the news? Don’t miss the exciting happenings in the Academy and the Little Dreamers gala night tomorrow right after Goin’ Bulilit.
