Chris Leonardo is the first one to be eliminated and kicked-out from TV-5's Artista Academy.
The 20-year-old “Dancing Cutie of Laguna” received the lowest grade from combined points from the live exam, the academy itself and audience text votes. Chris was part of the seven academy scholars who were brought to the principal's office to be reminded of the importance of doing well inside the academy and in the live exams.
Nicole Estrada, Akihiro Blanco, Stephanie Rowe and Jon Orlando, together with Benjo Leoncio and Brent Manzano (who joined Chris as the bottom group after the live exam night on Saturday) completed the bottom seven.
Eliminated though from the competition, Chris Leonardo will still continue to train at the Asian Academy of Television Arts to become a professional actor.
This weeks' best students are Sophie Albert, Vin Abrenica and Chanel Morales while saved from expulsion after being part of the bottom are Stephanie Rowe and Benjo Leoncio. See the rest of the Artista Academy Top 16 hopefuls here.
