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.
