Scholars expel Geoff Taylor from PDA

Geoff Taylor will be moving out of the Pinoy Dream Academy after being expelled for receiving only five votes from fellow scholars against Chai Fonacier’s 11 during the reality show's third expulsion night Saturday.

"Maraming, maraming salamat po sa mga happiness na ibinigay ninyo sa akin, mga advices. Maraming salamat," Taylor said.
Headmaster Jim Paredes commented that Taylor had improved his movements and the clarity in singing.

"You’ve gone a long, long way," Paredes said.

Taylor will not leave the academy empty-handed as he has won P200,000 worth of franchise from Belgian Waffle Mall Cart.

Earlier, Yvan Lambatan was saved by viewers, including subscribers of The Filipino Channel, from being expelled by garnering 29.47 percent of text votes, the highest among the four scholars placed under probation this week.

A very tense moment followed Lambatan’s rescue after the faculty opted to choose Rosita Bareng to remain inside the academy, leaving Taylor and Fonacier’s fate at the hands of fellow scholars.

"Let me say, overall, everybody improved so much. You improved in all aspects of performance," Paredes said.

The scholars, some of whom were asked to explain their vote, decided to keep Fonacier in the end.

PDA fans had a fun-filled night watching and cheering their favorite teams while they perform on stage.

Also lending support to the star dreamers during the expulsion night were PDA faculty members Maribeth Bichara, Moy Ortiz and Malou de Guzman.

Gary Granada, Leah Navarro and Kitchie Molina composed the jury that gave constructive feedback to the performers. The jurors will pick the next batch of scholars to be placed under probation for the coming week.
