Twenty-four Touristars finally entered Gate 2 or the “The Bump-Off” round of ABS-CBN’s original singing competition for 100% non-Filipinos who love OPM music, “I Love OPM,” last weekend.
In this stage, the remaining Touristars will be grouped into four and will compete with each other to determine who among them will make the cut. The two with the highest average score from the Himigration officers will advance to Gate 3, while the two get ‘bumped-off.’
Last Sunday (Mar 6), “I Love OPM” said goodbye to Touristars Sumner Mahaffey from the U.S.A. and Reece Rostedt from Australia after getting the lowest average scores of 91.67 and 86.67 respectively.
The two lost to fellow touristars Naisa Lasalosi (Australia), who won the hearts of the audience with his rendition of Sarah Geronimo’s “Ikot-Ikot,” and Fathin Amira (Singapore), who brought the house down, hitting the high notes of Dulce’s “Paano.”
Before they competed on stage, Sumner, Reece, Naisa, and Fathin went to Davao first with Eric Nicolas for the so-called “Soundtrip” where they get to spend some quality time and get to know more about the country’s culture.
Watch out as 20 more Touristars battle it out in the coming weeks that include Addy Raj (India), Anna Rabstun (Russia), Daniel Herrington (USA), DBD (Australia, Korea, Nigeria), Harris Dio Smith (Pakistan), In Seon Jung (South Korea), J-Morning (Japan), Jeena Dimaandal (USA), Jeff James (USA), Jerome McCuin (USA), Jonathan Wagner (France), Marina Lim (Canada), Matthew May (UK), Moses Akoh (Nigeria), Montri Bootnak (Thailand), Nelson Leusam (Samoa), Ryan Gallagher (USA), Sonata Stevenson (India), UchuSentai Noiz (Japan), and Yohan Hwang (South Korea).
