pinoy fear factor: elmer felix is the 5th participante eliminated

the last stunt in pinoy fear factor's quinta ronda de eliminacion or fifth round of elimination is named as cierre de houdini. this is an escape challenge. in this challenge, each participante will be hancuffed and put inside a plastic bag with a zipper. the key will also be hanging inside the bag. at the signal, the bag would be dropped into a pool and the participante would look for the key first and unlock the handcuffs. he would then unzip the bag, go out of the bag and swim to the fear factor logo on the side of the pool.

this is the elimination challenge. the person with the slowest time will be eliminated.

first to try the stunt is elmer. when the bag was dropped to the pool, the plastic immediately sticks to the participante's body. elmer panicked and gave the signal for the divers to help him. he did not finish the challenge and decided to quit after only 8 seconds in the water.

next up was manuel. manuel was pretty confident about the water part since he is comfortable with water. but he is a bit worried about the handcuffs. when he was dropped to the pool, he first unzip some part of the plastic so some water can get in. he then found the key and unlocked the handcuffed. he then got out of the plastic and reached the fear factor logo. he finished the stunt in and is safe.

last on the challenge is lj. with maxi wishing her luck, she is determined to finish the challenge. when she was dropped to the water, she experienced what elmer experienced. she had a hard time finding the key and she panicked. she then signalled the divers to help her get out. she did not finish the challenge.

manuel was the only participante who finished the challenge and was declared safe. it is now between elmer and lj. the time that they quit would determine who would stay. the one who stayed the longer would be safe. elmer had 8 seconds before quitting and lj had 11 seconds. it was elmer who was eliminated.

this is elmer's third time in the elimination group and his time to go. he was a member of the pump squad since he was recruited last week. he is the fifth participante to be sent home after gail, ram, phem and jose.
