Final 6 ‘struck’ with intrigues

The six remaining avengers of “StarStruck V” were grilled on “Startalk” about issues surrounding them.

Steven Silva seemed to have changed his mind about Diva Montelaba, whom he said he wanted to date on Valentine’s Day.

“Talagang close kami [ni Diva]. Pero after the Valentine’s date with the avengers, hindi ako sure now,” he said anxiously.

Unlike the chinito avenger, the gutsy Diva is very certain that her closest friend on the show, Nina Kodaka, will understand that she’s going for the gold (victory) more than their friendship.

“Nina is mature enough to understand that I really want this,” she asserted.

The petite Japanese gal affirmed such understanding, saying “Pagkatapos ng competition, nandun pa rin iyong friendship. Hindi naman po iyon mawawala.”

While shy to admit it, Nina said she has had the biggest improvement among the remaining girls in the competition.

“Lamang po ako sa pagbabago. Magaling na sila [Sarah and Diva] sa umpisa pa lang,” she said.

Enzo Pineda was Sarah Lahbati’s first choice as onscreen partner, but she admitted that they had “awkward moments” and “misunderstandings.”

“Nagkaron po kami ng ilangan times…mga misunderstandings [sa] mga simpleng bagay lang po. Pero okay na po [kami],” she related.

Meanwhile, Enzo gave his reaction on juror Gina Alajar’s upfront remarks that he doesn’t know pain because he was born with a silver spoon.

“Of course it’s a negative opinion but I respect it. Wala po akong sama ng loob ngayon dahil proud po ako sa achievements ng parents ko,” he said.

He might not know what literal hunger means, but he turned the critique around.

“Ito ‘yung gutom na nararamdaman ko ngayon—hungry ako ngayon sa competition.”

The guy who is said to be “bullying” him, Rocco Nacino, explained his naughty attitude.

“Parang sobra naman po iyong word na bully. Sa totoo lang po mahilig lang po akong mang-trip… mang-joke,” he said. Enzo, for his part, agreed that all is well between them.
