"Ikaw ang magde-decide kung saan papunta ang kuwento, kung ano ang mangyayari sa characters. Fresh ito for this type of programming sa PIE Channel. They (viewers) get to vote kung sino ang gusto nilang matira o kung sino ang gusto nilang matsugi. Doon magde-depend ang story, sa voters," Lee said in a press conference on Wednesday.
"Siyempre hindi namin ikakalas sa main narrative but at least mayroon tayong sinusundan na flow na manggagaling sa viewers kung ano ang gusto nila na mangyari sa characters natin," he added.
Hosted by Cantiveros, the show's chosen mentor is Hilario, while Estrada will be the show's only unevictable character.

In “Soap Opera,” Estrada is a non-player. She won’t be part of the 10 characters that are up for voting each week. Other non-players in the series are “PBB” Otso housemate Emjay Savilla and film and theater actress and host Sunshine Teodoro.
Every Saturday (8 to 10 p.m.), “The Chosen One” will air live episodes of “Soap Opera” so mentor Hilario can dissect and rate each players’ performance in the narrative. It will also reveal the current standing of the players based on the audience votes.
During the first episode of “Soap Opera” last Saturday, Charlie met the 10 aspiring entrepreneurs during the orientation day of Astra Nuevo that was led by Miss Jane. Charlie also found the lifeless body of Astra Nuevo’s security guard who was mysteriously killed at the office.
The upcoming episode (October 1) will be more exciting as “The Chosen One” reveals who among the 10 players garnered the highest number of ligtas (save) votes and who are in the bottom two.
