this is the elimination challenge. the person with the slowest time will be eliminated.

first to try the stunt is elmer. when the bag was dropped to the pool, the plastic immediately sticks to the participante's body. elmer panicked and gave the signal for the divers to help him. he did not finish the challenge and decided to quit after only 8 seconds in the water.

next up was manuel. manuel was pretty confident about the water part since he is comfortable with water. but he is a bit worried about the handcuffs. when he was dropped to the pool, he first unzip some part of the plastic so some water can get in. he then found the key and unlocked the handcuffed. he then got out of the plastic and reached the fear factor logo. he finished the stunt in and is safe.

last on the challenge is lj. with maxi wishing her luck, she is determined to finish the challenge. when she was dropped to the water, she experienced what elmer experienced. she had a hard time finding the key and she panicked. she then signalled the divers to help her get out. she did not finish the challenge.

manuel was the only participante who finished the challenge and was declared safe. it is now between elmer and lj. the time that they quit would determine who would stay. the one who stayed the longer would be safe. elmer had 8 seconds before quitting and lj had 11 seconds. it was elmer who was eliminated.

this is elmer's third time in the elimination group and his time to go. he was a member of the pump squad since he was recruited last week. he is the fifth participante to be sent home after gail, ram, phem and jose.

first up was manuel. manuel did not reflect any kind of discomfort while performing the stunt. he did it quickly but dropped one apple, that did not count. in the end, manuel transferred 19 apples with a time of a little more than 2 minutes.

next up was elmer. elmer did it slower as compared to manuel. he had a hard time seeing the apples since water is coming into his goggles. he failed to transfer all apples to the other container. just like manuel, elmer also dropped one apple to the ground. in the end of the time limit of 5 minutes, he transferred 16 apples to the 2nd container.

third in this challenge was lj. since lj was smaller as compared to the guys, she had a hard time reaching for the apples. she also had difficulty with the water going into the goggles, just like elmer. she also failed to complete the task and was only apple to transfer 4 apples to the 2nd basin after 5 minutes.

the last one to do the stunt was marion. marion was fast in executing this stunt and was able to transfer all 20 apples. he did it in over 3 minutes. since he is the only one that completed the challenge, he was declared safe by ryan and was told to go back to camp.

manuel was the first one to try the challenge. having been one of the strongest in the contest, the pump squad has been aiming to beat him. but manuel was unaffected by the threat. he still finished the stunt the fastest at a time of 1minute and 50 seconds.

of the men,. manuel, elmer, jommy and rj finished the stunt. marion almost made it. he reached up to halfway of the third level but eventually fell off due to the strong winds. the winds also affected jose's performance. he fell of after only 1.50m in the first beam.

of the chicas, only janna was able to finish the stunt but he did it over 10 minutes, which is the time limit of the challenge. lj reached up to about 3/4 of the second level. savanah fell after about 3 meters at the first level.

the most unsuccessful participante in this challenge was jose.

after announcing that manuel was the winner, ryan informed him that he can give one of the chicas immunity and he will play in the second challenge or he can keep immunity and be safe in this round. manuel thought long and hard on his decision and eventually ended up keeping the immunity for himself.

back at camp, the pump squad was looking for another member. during the last stunt, rj already said that he is eyeing someone to become a member of the pump squad and they will talk to him. the one they are targeting is no one else but elmer. elmer agreed to become a pump squad member.

pinoy fear factor: ram sagad is the second participante eliminated

this week's third el;imination challenge is entitled acrobacias en helicoptero. in this challenge, the participantes will hold on to a trapeze attached to a helicopter. their aim is to hold as long as possible on the trapeze while the helicopter is moving over the waters. time stops when both hands are off the trapeze. this is a test of upper body strength and endurance.

first up was elmer. elmer had the right idea on what to do. he keeps his head over the trapeze and keeps himself closer to the helicopter. he keeps pulling himself up but eventually had a hard time when the helicopter star moving laterally, tossing him from one side to the other. he stayed up for 38 seconds and he had a hard fall on the water, complining of pain on the abdominal area but subsided after some time.

up next was jose who did the same strategy as that of elmer. but he stayed up longer than elmer and stayed on the trapeze for 49 seconds. up next was jommy. jommy planned to hold on the trapeze with a closed fist but ryan reminded him that he should face where the helicopter is facing. so he changd his plan. hold on the trapeze and curled like a ball. it was effective at first but he also had difficulty when he started swaying from side to side. he finished with a timne of 39 seconds, 1 second longer than elmer.

now it is only between ram and elmer. ram had a bit of disadvantage since he was taller than the rest of the 3 participantes. ram used the same strategy as jommy used, curling like a ball while holding the trapeze. but when he started swaying from one side to another, he had a hard time keeping the position. he fell onto the water only after 30 seconds.

since he had the shortest time, ram sagad is the second participante to be eliminated. elmer cried when ryan announced that he was safe. during the elimination challenge last week, he said that he never wants to be on the elimination challenge again. but due to the conditions and his sickness the night before, he still was included in the ones up for elimination. as ryan said, he can be considered as a beterano, having performed all 6 challenges in pinoy fear factor.

next up was jommy. jommy was concerned on eating the brain because it contains fats and he des not eat fats. he will eat 1 whole brain and 2 eyes. he really had a hard time finishing the brain but eventually finished after more than 5 minutes. elmer also picked up the same meal as that f jommy. he also had a hard time finishing the meal, especially the eyes. he finished slower than all of the other participantes.

janna was up next. she finished after a little over 4 minutes. last on the table was ram. he was tasked to eat only half of a sheep's brain, the same as savanna's. but surprisingly, he had a hard time keeping it down. he finished after almost 5 minutes, way over savana's time.
