One celebrity and his/her partner
will get another chance to compete in ABC-5's Shall We Dance: The Celebrity
Dance Challenge. Tonight, October 28, the judges will reveal their chosen
wildcard pair. This lucky pair will compete in the finals night on November 4
against batch 4a champ Paolo Ballesteros and partner Donna Bidua and against batch 4b
winner Uma Khouny and partner Victoria Huyatid.
The wildcard pair is chosen by
the three resident judges Regine Tolentino, Audie Gemora, and Edna Ledesma from
the two batches of contestants who competed for the last two Sundays in Shall
We Dance. Who among Kat Alano, Bentong, Chx Alcala, and Mikee Lee will make
it to the finals on November 4? Find out tonight when SWD airs on ABC-5 at 9 p.m.
Also this Sunday, we'll take a
sneak peek into the finals night—how the three celebrity
finalists are preparing for the big night and what the judges have to say about
each of them.
Between Paolo and Uma, Paolo has the edge, based on his last performance. The judges were so impressed with his very smooth swing number, they couldn't find a single negative comment on his performance. Paolo memorized the dance routines by heart and he looked like a pro in ballroom dancing.
Uma, on the other hand, also got
good reviews from the judges but judge Regine and Edna emphasized that they
expected more from him. The judges somehow knew that Uma was not executing his routine with gusto, and so the dance seemed half-baked. But he promised
them he would give his all in the finals; he even asked if he could do
belly dancing instead of ballroom so that he could show off his dancing prowess.
We'll see if Uma's request will be granted.
The wildcard pair should be
ready to face their two strong competitors. What better way than
to be really competent and focused on the game? If the judges saw them fit for the finals, the still unknown duo must have shown them moves that are out of the ordinary.
Another revelation this Sunday has to do with the text-voting component of the show. Text voting starts a week prior to the finals but the October 28 episode has a different system. SWD host Lucy Torres-Gomez will announce what will happen, so make sure you don't miss a beat in Shall We Dance, Sunday night at 9 p.m. on ABC-5.
