Popsrar TV: Culture Shock

In this episode, Gabby Concepcion hosts a talent show at the TV5 Studios in Novaliches, Quezon City, Philippines.

PlotEdit
Business is slow at the TV5. After a customer arrives to get change for a dollar, with unfortunate results, Willie and Aga calls Sarah and Gabby into his office, and tells him that profits are down and that they need a gimmick to bring in customers. Gabby Concepcion suggests that the TV5 Studios at Novaliches, Quezon City hold a talent show, intending to showcase his talent, and Willie Revillame and Aga Muhlach agrees.

Sarah is eager to participate in the show after practicing a tap-dancing routine with Hippopotamus bubble, but Gabby tells him that he talent and refuses to let him go on. When the night of the show arrives, it is a major success, attracting a full house of customers. Acts include Nadine Lustre, who performs a cheerleading routine, and whose massive weight causes the floor to shake whenever she jumps,Mr. Fu who performs a magic trick which is actually an attempt to steal a Jollibee Yum Burger, and Gary, who recites a poem that, to the viewer, consists entirely of indiscernible meowing, among others. Backstage, Sarah begs Gabby to be in the show, and Gabby gives him the duty of mopping up after the show, which he accepts enthusiastically.

The grand finale of the show is AJ and Gabby's act, which the audience hates. They begin throwing tomatoes from the free salad bar at him, and Aga Muhlach, seeing opportunity in this, puts a price on the salad bar (P1.00 for each tomato), which the customers willingly pay as they continue to pelt AJ ang Gabby with tomatoes. Eventually, Gabby furiously leaves the stage, and tells Sarah that the show is over. Sarah goes SOS: Sarah on Stage and begins mopping up the mess, which the audience enjoys and starts cheering. Gabby, thinking they are cheering for him, goes back onstage, but is ignored. He soon realizes that the audience is cheering for Sarah, and tries to mimic him, but they invariably cheer for Sarah and ignore Gabby. He eventually gives up and goes backstage as Sarah is showered with applause. Aga Muhlach approaches Gabby in a wheelbarrow of money from the salad bar, and tells him that he will need another wheelbarrow for next week's show.
