Starstruck V the Strikeback premiered tonight at GMA-7. StarStruck’s host, Dingdong Dantes, narrated this season’s twists and challenges. It also featured the StarStruck Survivors who made big names in the Philippines’ showbiz industry such as Mark Herras, Jennylyn Mercado, Aljur Abrenica and Kris Bernal. StarStruck Avengers, though they didn’t win, also made it to showbiz like Sheena Halili, Paulo Avelino, Mart Escudero, Katrina Halili, Rich Asuncion, Lj Reyes, Yasmine Kurdi, Dion Ignacio, Rainier Castillo, Arci Muñoz, Charisse Solomon and Iwa Moto were featured as well.
StarStruck V also paid tribute to the departed who became part of the reality show: Khryss Adalia and Douglas Quijano who became StarStruck Councils, and to Marky Cielo, StarStruck 3 Ultimate Survivor. I got teary-eyed when they showed video clips of Marky Cielo. His untimely death is unforgettable.
Other hosts of StarStruck V will be Raymond Gutierrez and Carla Abellana.
UPDATE:
Since Family Feud’s host Richard Gomez will run for 2010 politics, he will be temporarily replaced by Dingdong Dantes. Thus, leaving StarStruck V hosting to Raymond Gutierrez, Carla Abellana, and surprise – Dennis Trillo.
Hermes Bautista of Pinoy Big Brother Season 3 Double Up Edition is a proud Kapampangan although he was born in United States. He stayed in San Agustin, City of San Fernando Pampanga during his teen-age years.
When Hermes entered Big Brother’s house, he was not quite on a spotlight. But recently, due to Carol’s obvious “thing” on him that she even accused him of being a flirt, he’s getting attention now. Although some says, he looks like a “call boy”. Ooppss, my friend will get angry by this hehe. Just a little bit of info: My friend and Hermes used to be textmates and almost courted her, but he went back to California. Ssshhhhh!! (^^ ,)
I think this is the most exciting part as of this week in Pinoy Big Brother Double Up. “Couple Pretenders” Kat and Pat are getting closer, and real husband Jimson is getting jealous more and more until his emotions burst!

Two new reality shows on two giant networks. Both will test the physical and mental capabilities of chosen Filipino contestants. Thousands of Filipinos flocked in during the audition. But who will gain the most number of viewership?
The Show
Pinoy Fear Factor is an upcoming reality show of ABS-CBN. A franchise of Endemol’s Fear Factor Extreme, the location was shot at Argentina, South America thus the show was also dubbed: Pinoy Fear Factor South America. Twelve contestants will be vying for the P2 million cash prize plus house and lot worth P2.5 million to the one who will endure the show’s challenges for more than 30 days. Every week, a contestant will be eliminated after doing three stunts. Pinoy Fear Factor is scheduled to air this September.
Survivor Philippines 
Survivor Philippines already premiered last September 15, 2008. It is the Philippine version of reality television series Survivor. The contestant who will last the longer will be hailed as the Sole Survivor and will take home P3 million in cash. Initially, the show announced 18 contestants, divided into two groups: Jarakay and Naak. Now, only 16 castaways remain as Chev and Emerson were voted off by their tribe. Aside from the challenges given by the production team, the castaways are also faced on how to survive the island without shelter and food.
The Hosts
The Philippines’ first ever Survivor edition is being aired at Channel 7 and hosted by Paolo Bediones. The site is located at Koh Tarutao, also known as “The Devil’s Island” in Thailand.
The 18 castaways are divided into two groups: Jarakay and Naak. In Thailand, Jarakay means crocodile while Naak means snake. The Jarakay team consist of: Charisse, Gigit, Patani, John, Nikki, Niña, Marlon, Jace and Veronica. While Chev, Cris, Emerson, JC, Kaye, Kiko, Rob, Vev, and Zita are on the Naak team.
This early on, I can see who has what it takes to become the Philippines’ lone survivor. Here are my bets and their profile:
