Despite all the positive words of the production team for gaining more attention for the Station’s Project (SP), loyal viewers are still wondering why a drastic change had to happen in the cast line-up. During earlier seasons, the cast of SP proved a hit with the audience, as indicated by the rising ratings and high views in various websites. Even social media was enlivened by trends and comments for the cast and SP. The mix of the lineup was perfect in gaining various types of viewers.
Then, viewers were surprised when a Cast Member (CM) was announced to have chosen not to join SP anymore. The void CM left was soon filled up with Phenomenal Star (PS), who seems to have adjusted to the spontaneity required by SP. While most viewers have accepted the cast, speculations on the reason that caused CM to opt out reverberate in social media.
Being part of a panel is not easy, as one has to be natural, quick, tact, and nurturing. Then, one has to make sure his/her statements would not be offending to contestants because viewers tend to be more sensitive and defend their bets by maligning the judge. However, when statements could not be sugarcoated, chances are someone will be affected. Compared with someone who is very articulate, CM opted to keep quiet and not engage any of her fellow panelists in discussions over talents. When one is offended, expressing disagreement calmly and in front of the camera is difficult. Although seeing CM become offended would have been interesting, such is not her image and she might ruin herself to her fans had she chosen to engage in discussion.
Adding to being offended at times, the lack of any of her bets ending in the last round disappointed her as well. Some may easily pinpoint the lack of votes as the culprit and blame the insufficient support of her fan base for the poor showing. Nonetheless, everything is now under the bridge and as far as CM is concerned, she would rather focus on other matters, such as nurturing love and threshing out her life’s direction. Finally asserting that one is an adult is indeed hard.
However, the entry of PS posted problems that needed to be addressed quickly. Given that the popularity of CM cuts across generations, PS has yet to expand her popularity as she has been away from the limelight for quite a time. Whereas mostly only the guardians of the contestants have faith in the reputation of PS, most contestants are at a loss as to the capability and mentorship potential of PS. Nonetheless, the presence of PS has been adding luster to the show, and sooner or later, she might gain the familiarity of the younger generation.
