Ram Sagad is the second eliminado of Pinoy Fear Factor: Argentina, South America.  The ex-basketball player failed miserably in the final stunt wherein the Participantes had to hold on to the trapeze from the helicopter for as long as they can.  Ram only kept his grip on the ladder for 30 seconds, the lowest in the ranking with Elmer Felix getting 38 seconds, Jose Sarasola, 49 seconds and Jommy Teotico, 39 seconds.  Elmer cried tears of joy upon knowing that he survived another elimination round.  The biggest surprise for the boys was that Ram wasn’t able to overcome the stunt given his built and strength.

Elmer, Jommy, and Jose returned to El Campo Miedo, and the other Participantes were all shocked when they did not see Ram.  Savanah Lamsen confessed that she was actually expecting Elmer to lose since he was not feeling well a day before.  On the other hand, Manuel Chua felt a little relief because the person he felt was the biggest threat in the competition is now eliminated.  RJ Calipus cried like a baby when he saw Ram coming a few minutes later.  RJ was devastated that his best buddy will have to pack and go home to the Philippines, and he gave his friend a ring to remember him by when he goes back to Manila.  Ram tried to cheer himself up by joking about the Pump Squad’s disbandment.  Afterwards, Ram packed his stuff and bid the other Participantes farewell.

“Hindi ako makapaniwala na ganun kabilis.  Aalis na ako, babalik na ako ng Pilipinas?  Kung mauulit gagawin ko talaga ‘to (PFF).  Ngayong natanggal ako na-overcome ko ng yung fear of heights ko.  Na-enjoy ko na ‘yung stunt (helicopter).  Ang sarap ng feeling na naging part ako ng Pinoy Fear Factor.  Nakakalungkot, pero siguro may iba pang gusto si God para sa akin.  Baka gusto niya akong makatapos ng pag-aaral,” Ram said.  His parents were shocked when he suddenly showed up at their house.  Nevertheless, his whole family was happy to have him back safe. 

The most athletic Participante is now eliminated.  Does this mean that the competition evened out?  Find out in the next round of elimination as the ten remaining Participantes face new and more difficult stunts.  You can also feel the PFF excitement by watching online on TFCnow.  Also check out pinoyfearfactor.abs-cbn.com andhttp://pinoyfearfactor.multiply.com  for more updates about the show and join the discussion at the Pinoy Fear Factor Official Forum.
