X Factor Philippines (ABS-CBN)

It was an emotional night for team Charice as her both finalist gathered the least number of votes, thus became part of the bottom two. Through majority votes, X Factor Philippines' Swag Princess Allen Sta. Maria was sent home, and made KZ Tandingan the 3rd Grand Finalist of the much awaited Grand Finals of The X Factor Philippines on October 6 & 7, 2012 together with Gab Maturan and Daddy's Home.


Artista Academy (TV5)

After the face-off last Saturday between the danger 4 and the Tropang Kick-out, the two remaining slots were finally occupied by Mark Neumann, and Shaira Mae. Both student chose to dance as their performance piece and both got positive feedback from the critics. The rest of the students (danger 4 and tko) were also given a chance to choose which one will they perform, some of them sang, and others danced as well, but all of them performed their acting piece for a limited time and limited dialogue and divided into 3 emotions, sorrow/sadness, fear and anger. Even though some students also got positive feedback from the critics, the above 2 students were declared part of the AA's Honor list as the results of combined text votes, live exam grades and academy grades were determined.


Protege (The Battle for the Big Artista Break) (GMA7)

Protege switch, that was the theme for last night's gala. After the results of the combined text votes and judges' scores, Bryan Benedict's battle ended, even though he got positive feedback from the judges regarding his performance.
