Get ready because we're going now into round two. Dito sa pagbabalik ng K-check. Syempre tuloy pa rin ang ating karunungan check. At this point, we have Stella with 60 points, Maria Kyle and Sophia with 20 points each and Marvin with 10. Okay, so bago tayo mag-proceed sa next shout natin, tutulin natin ang ating cikahan with our contestants. Kaya naman, si Sophia. Si Sophia ay isang competitive dancer. Okay, so paano ba pinagahandaan at anong disciplina ang required kapag ikaw ay sumasabak sa dance port? At isang pang question, ikaw rin ba yung nag-de-design ng mga sinusot mo? Okay, for the first question po, siguro it would depend. It would depend on the kind of competition. So pagdating sa UIAT, since it's a ballroom formation competition, mas challenging actually yung preparation for that since each team is comprised of say 8 to 10 pairs of dancers. So kailangan lahat kayo present all the time kung hindi mag-ubu-ubu yung routine. But when it comes to competitions na one couple lang kayo, siyempre mas madaling mag-adjust pagdating sa schedule. But kailangan parang very disciplined all the time and very committed sa training. And for my ano naman, outfits, may times na nag-de-design ako and actually right now, I'm also preparing for a fashion show for my batch's graduation fashion show. Oh, ball around. With free-plugging on K-check. Yes, yes. So I guess ano na sasamam mo yung inspiration mo na 1950s fashion dun sumatamed. And ballroom as well. Yung collection ko rin po actually for the graduation fashion show is inspired by my dance-port journey. Invite mo kami dyan na. All right. Mas sa siguran ang pupunta ka, pa-invita. But anyway, tanongan naman natin si Stella ano naman ang paborito mong lugar na napuntahan na and ang dream destination mo and why? All right. So I think yung pinakapaborito kung destination is La Union or LU as we call it. I think ito yung dream ko noon papasok ng college pa lang. I wanted to visit LU. So thankfully I was able to visit with my friends and my family. So na really love it kasi the food's great. The beach is great. The apartments are great. And also actually showcases the beauty of the Philippines as well. But I think my dream destination would probably be London, UK. I don't know. I've always been a fan of One Direction. So ever since, I've always loved London. I've always wanted to go and also visit the different places there. From LU to London. From sun to the cold weather. The cloudy London. But anyway, di ba? It's always nice to talk for contestants, no? But it's now time for round two. Contestants get ready to buzz in but make sure you strategize at laging tandaan, wait to be called before your answer. Otherwise your answer will probably be not considered. Correct answers are worth 20 points each but you will lose 10 points if you answer incorrectly. Let's begin. Question number one.
