Ram Sagad says adios on "Pinoy Fear Factor"

Sunday, November 23, 2008

Ram Sagad is the second participante to be eliminated from ABS-CBN’s reality show Pinoy Fear Factor (PFF): Argentina, South America.

The former basketball player failed miserably in the final stunt where the participantes had to hold on to the trapeze for as long as they could while being violently whirled by a helicopter. The participante to lose his grip at the shortest time would be eliminated. 

Sagad fell into the water after 30 seconds, saving other participantes from being eliminated. Elmer Felix’s time was 38 seconds; Jose Sarasola, 49; and Jommy Teotico, 39.

“Hindi ako makapaniwala na ganoon kabilis.  Aalis na ako, babalik na ako ng Pilipinas?  Kung mauulit gagawin ko talaga ‘to (PFF).  Ngayong natanggal ako, na-overcome ko ‘yong fear of heights ko.  Na-enjoy ko na ‘yong stunt (helicopter).  Ang sarap ng feeling na naging part ako ng Pinoy Fear Factor.  Nakakalungkot, pero siguro may iba pang gusto si God para sa akin.  Baka gusto niya akong makatapos ng pag-aaral,” Sagad said.

Sagad’s elimination came as a surprise to other participantes given that he was considered to be the most athletic among the group.

Savanah Lamsen admitted that she was expecting Felix to lose in the elimination round because he complained of feeling sick a day before the challenge.

On the other hand, Manuel Chua said he felt relieved because he considered Sagad as the biggest threat in the competition.

With Sagad’s elimination, the number is now down to 10 participantes who would endure daunting challenges in order to grab the grand prize of P2 million and a house and lot worth P2.5 million.
