Jackie seen as Ultimate Survivor in 'SS3'

AND then there were four.
We were at Broadway Centrum last Sunday for the selection of the Final 4 in StarStruck Nationwide Invasion and the telecast got so delayed due to the crisis among the Marines in Fort Bonifacio, which turned out to be much ado about anothing.
The four survivors are Jackie Rice of Olongapo, Marky Cielo of Mountain Province, Iwa Moto of Las Piñas and Gian Carlos of Iloilo.
The inclusion of Iwa was a big surprise as she turned off a lot of people during their show in Davao when she called everyone "plastic" and said she'd quit the show. Even the judges (parti-cularly director Louie Ignacio and Lorna Tolentino) were very vocal that they're scared of Iwa getting into showbiz as she sounds so self-centered and arrogant. But the final judging comes from text votes and Iwa made it, ousting Jana Roxas who understandably cried torrents.
Also a surprise is Gian Carlos besting out Chuck Allie of Davao who seemed to be a better choice as he has more star quality on screen. But again, it's the texters who won and they say the entire province of Ilo-ilo supported Gian.
Most writers who attended the affair believe both Marky and Gian are not movie-star handsome and they're just following in the footsteps of CJ Muere. As writer Nitz Miralles said: "Ano ba 'yung mga pumipili? Ang daming ibang guwapo sa Pilipinas, ah."
Maybe text votes should no longer given that much importance. Look at what happened even to ABS-CBN's Star Circle Quest. Most of those who won are no longer visible, especially Batch 2 where the likes of Erich, Aaron, DM, etc., show very little promise.
At any rate, the StarStruck Final Judgment is slated on March 12 at the new Marikina Sports Park. This will be shown after Daddy Di Do Du. Admission is free but you have to get tickets from GMA 7.
The two Ultimate Survivors (in all probability, they'll be Jackie Rice and Marky Cielo) will win a P2-million exclusive GMA management contract and P1 million cast.
But the StarStruck Sole Survivor (we hope it's Jackie as she seems to be the only one who has real star potential) will win a whopping package worth P10 million, the biggest jackpot to be given in any local contest.
