But now, it's a more exciting time. Time to get to know our contestants. Let's start off with Yana. Yung K-pop and R&B genre medyo magkaibaya tayo, di ba? Isa medyo lumata laga. Lumang style. Isa medyo bago. Bakit man itong dalawa ang nakahiligan mong pakinggan? Kasi yung dad ko po ay very mahilig siyang makilig na mga R&B song. So, nahawa na list na ako na makinig sa mga R&B song. Pero di ba may ibang K-pop na medyo tunog R&B din? Meron po. K-Hip-Hop or K-R&B naman yung genre. Finilit ko lang. Meron na. Knowledge of God sa K-pop. Thank you so much, Yana. Si Trisha naman, isang chemeng student. So, may free time ka pa bang manuod ng mga vlogs diben sa heavy load? Yes po. I watch vlogs lang in between study rakes po.

Tuloy po rin po ang ating karunungan check. Just a brief recap. We have Trisha and the lead with 40 points. Yana and Miguel with 30 points each and Alisa with zero points as of now. So, let's get back to knowing our contestants, Miguel. Ano ba ang reason kung bakit gusto-gusto mo yung series na modern family na yan? Hindi kasi maganda po yung family dynamics na pinaportray ng mga character and para nakacomplement po yung itch pairing doon sa family and ang ganda po nang kinarabasang sa series. Meril ka bang favorite character yan? Favorite character ko po siguro yung dalawapong gay na parents na si Kampatis image. So, parang kasi kung titignan po natin yung timeline ng pagkaunang release ng episode po na yan is parang antagal na tapos yung yung pagtalakay po din sa gender na yan sa LGBTQ as parents. Parang ang progressive niya po titignan. Kaya po para na pamahal din po ako sa characters nila. May pagsuri na sa material. Okay. Si Eliza naman. Thank you, Miguel. Si Eliza naman, filangan namin malaman bakit ka nagahabul ng pusa sa kampus? Ano po kasi parang emotional support animal sila. I mean, hindi ko naman sila hinakabal aggressively. Parang pinapat ko lang sila. Otherwise baka sila ang kailangan ng emotional support animal. Pero di pa usually for building dito may mga cats talaga. May favorite cat ka ba in what building? Meron sa ASPO pero di niya ako gusto. Mi-changan ng talaga. Sa sabihin ko sana, iuwi niya na ang mga cats. Adapit na na and take care of them and run after them in your own house. I'm kidding.
