Jose Sarasola eliminated in ABS-CBN's "Pinoy Fear Factor"

"I'm embarrassed because I'm supposed to stay being the leader of the ‘Pump Squad,'" says Jose Sarasola about losing his chance to become the first "El Ultimo Participante" of Pinoy Fear Factor.

Fil-Spanish Jose Sarasola lost his chance to be the first "El Ultimo Participante" of Pinoy Fear Factor: Argentina, South America after being beaten by co-"participantes" Jommy Teotico and LJ Moreno on the last stunt of "cuarta ronde de eliminacion" last Monday, December 8.

The 22-year-old member of the "Pump Squad" of Pinoy Fear Factor is out of contention for the P2 million cash prize and house and lot, as he became the fourth "eliminado" following TV host Phoemela Barranda, basketball hunk Ram Sagad, and Bikini Summit winner Gail Nicolas.

The aspiring chef from Parañaque landed the farthest from the Pinoy Fear Factor logo after being dragged by a speeding vehicle along a "line of fire." He miscalculated and let go from the vehicle too late, causing him to go way past the target.

Jose was disappointed with his fate in Pinoy Fear Factor. He said, "I'm embarrassed because I'm supposed to stay being the leader of the ‘pump squad.'"

Despite this, Jose was given a consolation prize by letting him stay for another day to celebrate his birthday with the group

Surprisingly, LJ defeated the two guys of the "Pump Squad" by landing only 1 meter and 5 centimeters away from the logo; while Jommy and Jose landed 1 meter 50 centimeters, and 4 meters 30 centimeters, respectively.

The 27-year-old actress felt redeemed after always being edged out by boys in her favorite extreme sports. "Wow, I beat them, and it wasn't even an easy stunt!" rejoiced LJ.

Meanwhile, the "quinta ronda de eliminacion" will begin tomorrow, December 9. Pinoy Fear Factor promises to bring bigger challenges to the "participantes" with the return of Paolini, the name given to the crane used for stunts done involving heights; the snakes including the one that bit Jose; and the freezing and treacherous Argentine waters.

Catch all these in Pinoy Fear Factor: Argentina, South America airs on weekdays on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida. Also, watch for the Pinoy Fear Factor: Special Edition on Studio 23 every Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
