[4][5] The first series was won by Jommy Teotico who took home P2 Million (around US$50,000), a house and lot, and was given the title of "El Ultimo Participante" (The Ultimate Participant).

[1] It uses the tagline Ang buhay sa likod ng katapangan or "Life behind bravery."

The theme song of the show, which is entitled Tagumpay (Triumph), is performed by Chivas Malunda (a contestant of Pinoy Dream Academy season 2).

[6] Sister channel Studio 23 airs a condensed one-hour Saturday edition, covering the episodes shown within the week.

The episodes, narrated by ABS-CBN's comedic news reporter Marc Logan, showed a recap of scenes from the six previous rounds, as well as new interviews from the Participantes and never-before-seen clips within and outside of the competition.

Every Participante will face the Ronda de Eliminación to determine who will stay and who will be sent back to the Philippines.

Since the show takes place in a Spanish-speaking country, many terms and stunt names are in Spanish, an official language of the Philippines[7] from the 19th to the late 20th centuries.

While none of the Participantes completed the entire stunt, Phem's performance was rated the best, picking up two flaglets before falling into the water.

Gail, Marion, and Elmer meanwhile each transferred the five cows' eyes and registered the worst times, putting them in the third stunt.

Marion and Elmer finished their third stunt, but Gail wasn't able to release the doll before surfacing, which made her eliminated.

Phem was also exempted from the rest of the round, having traversed four ropes in a minute and a half, the most among the remaining women.

Among the men, RJ ate half a brain and three eyeballs in two minutes, putting him between the girls and making them the top three performers.

Manuel performed the first stunt in just 44 seconds, not only setting the best time for the stunt, but also broke the world Slippery Car record; the previous record was three minutes and seven seconds, held by a contestant of A Rettegés Foka, the Hungarian version of the franchise.

Jose, on the other hand, stopped over four meters from the logo, thus becoming the fourth person to head for the Philippines.

Among the women, LJ had the worst performance, holding on a square from the 4th line from the top of the net, thus exempting Savannah and Janna from further competition.

Before the beginning of the second stunt, Manuel answered allegations of unfair trash-talking off-camera and other accusations made by Jose and Elmer against him, which he mostly denied.

Manuel, LJ, and Janna joined Savannah for the third stunt; Janna consumed 20 maggots in 4:14, LJ ate 20 cockroaches in 3:22, and Manuel feasted on a "Fear Factor Special" of a skinned rat, two scorpions, five cockroaches, five maggots, and several earthworms for 3:18.

RJ reached the third yellow line on the net in 17 seconds; Marion fell straight into the water upon beginning the stunt.

Among the women, Janna advanced to the second stunt despite experiencing injury after her right foot got caught in the net traversing the fourth yellow line and had to be rescued and rushed to the hospital; Savannah was able to reach the third yellow line slower than RJ did before falling and was therefore out in the running for the rest of the round.

Due to her fear of rats, Savannah was able to transfer 12 frogs in three minutes (she actually collected 13, but one landed outside the fish tank).

RJ was able to transfer 15 frogs in 39 seconds, but one landed out of the fish tank and another ended up in another compartment of the box, thus putting the official count at 13.

Leading to the third stunt, a test explosion related to it attracted the attention of local police, and per their instructions, all production was suspended to the next day in another location.

Savannah looped 2.97m of the wire, while RJ crossed only 2.6m, making him the seventh person to fly home.

In the first stunt, Manuel held on the tow rope the longest at 1:01, to the point that the horse tired out first before the line slipped off his hands, thus saving him from certain elimination.

Manuel chose Jommy to compete in the third stunt, based on his assessment that Janna caught more strawberries that didn't reach the box, thus discounting them.

Janna, who had her head buried in sand and had to be rescued needlessly by the Argentine safety crew, was able to finish the stunt in 7:43.
