Joining Phoemela Barranda, LJ Moreno are 10 others contestants or “participantes” in ABS-CBN’s Pinoy Fear Factor. 3 out of these 10 newcomers were revealed today.
These include former basketball player Ram Sagad, stand-up comedienne Jamie Ann “Janna” Dominguez, and balikbayan Marion Angelo dela Cruz.
One look and you’ll know that these contestants aren’t ordinary paritipants, there are either good looking or simply, artista-type. Something that raises this question: is Pinoy Fear Factor a true reality show or another talent search?
Direk Laurenti Dyogi who heads Pinoy Fear Factor said that they actually sent out invitations to talent scouts and managers. That explains why these contestants are the very same type you’ll see joining showbiz talent searches.
Janna, 18, is a former host in Wowowee and is a supporting cast in the gag-show Banana Split.
Ram, 23 played for NCCA’s San Sebastian College-Recolletos de Manila Golden Stag team in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. He is also 2007’s Century Tuna Superbod.
Marion is a soccer player (soon to be TV personality) from Vienna, Austria.
Pinoy Fear Factor will search for the “El Ultimo Participante” which literally means ultimate participant. The show will start airing on November 10.

No offense meant to my friends and enemies who are still in ABS-CBN, but I applaud Department of Trade and Industry for finding the obvious.
It took more than a year for the government to finally release the result of its investigation on the “Wilyonaryo” segment of Wowowee. It can be remembered that the show along with the staff and host Willie Revillame and the station was accused of cheating when the production of the show made a “mistake” (or something to that effect) in the implementation of the segment last August 20, 2007.

The scene that brought questions to the credibility of Wowowee.
Quoting Pep: during the “Wilyonaryo” jackpot segment of Wowowee. One of the wheels (violet) used in the game contained both the numbers “0″ and “2.” These numbers represented the prize money a contestant could possibly take home, either zero or two million.
According to GMA News, DTI found that “Wilyonaryo” segment of Wowowee violated the Republic Act 7394 or the Consumers Act of the Philippines. I say they were just caught running naked (if you know what I mean).
Part of the decision read: “A reasonable assessment of the existing game mechanics and procedures implemented at the time of the subject 20 August 2007 ‘Wilyonaryo’ episode reveals that the game show segment allowed a reasonable likelihood of error and provided the host and organizers significant latitude in controlling the outcome of the contest.”
ABS-CBN was ordered to pay the P290,000 fine. Of course that’s nothing compared to how much the contestant could have won.
