Piero’s elimination shocked the hell out of everyone. With him topping that week’s Artista Tests, not to mention, not a single vote from any survivor contender which sums to 40%. Allegedly, his rival Enzo Pineda’s family had their supporters voting for PIERO OUT as that week was a VOTE to ELIMINATE week for Starstruck fans.

Along with Piero Vergara, crowd favorite Princess Snell was also voted out – but that one was an obvious boot. The elimination of Piero lead to revolts from the audience citing how bad Enzo Pineda is and how his stay in Starstruck was already long over due.

Starstruck Council was also thrown allegations of favoritism, which is kind of apparent (Lolit Solis), while Iza Calzado and Floy Quintos seemed to be alright.

Still, Starstruck Wildcard is a possibility with Factors 4 and 5 still in. However, the momentum of the game suddenly flunked out when Piero and Princess got booted off.
