The long wait is over! SHOWTIME fans (including me) have witnessed the first ever grand winner of SHOWTIME, XB GenSan (Xtreme Boyz GenSan). XB GenSan is, apparently, from General Santos City, Philippines. They are the only Mindanao finalists to enter in SHOWTIME: The Finals, which was held in the Ynares Center, Antipolo City, Rizal. Though they are only Wildcards, they eventually beat the other 10 finalists. They still won PHP 1 Million, which I think is too small a prize, yet the amount is still incomparable to the performance they gave with all their "heart." Vice Ganda even commented that their astounding performance was enough not only to cause headache, but also to cause chest pain due to his/her judging difficulties.
The crowd favorite, Philippine Islands Assassin, was initially presumed to win the contest. However, the audience cheered increasingly as the preceding contestants showcased their talents, enough to impress the judges as well as to give high scores. XB GenSan was the show's finale. Their performance made them emotional after, consequently affecting Anne Curtis, one of the main hosts, to cry with them.
A total of 40 judges, including the unevictable and resident judge Vice Ganda, scored the 11 finalists.
Among them were unevicted hurado Jhong Hilario and "burado" judges like Gladys Reyes, Andrew E, Assunta De Rossi, Jon Avila, Jet Pangan of The Dawn, Dennis Padilla, Robert Seña, Kean Cipriano of Calla Lily, Marc Abaya of Kjwan, Bianca Manalo, Alessandra De Rossi, Precious Lara Quigaman, Priscilla Meirelles, Karla Henry, Ayannah of Kitty Girls, Joy Viado, Jay Justiani of Cueshe and a lot more.
Special jurors such as Manny Castañeda, Alfie Lorenzo, "Angge" Lee and Jobert Sucaldito, who were judges during the Showtime Kids Edition, were also part of the judges lineup.
The final results:
1st - Group 11. XB GenSan (General Santos City) [wildcard] 9.875
2nd - Group 7. Philippine Islands Assassin (Marikina City) 9.7
3rd - Group 10. Boyz Unlimited (Pangasinan) [wildcard] 9.625
4th - Group 8. Enlighten Black Theatre Group (San Juan, Metro Manila) 9.425
5th - Group 3. Mortal Combat and the Showgays (Brgy. Holy Spirit, Quezon City) 9.3
6th - Group 6. Savannah Kids Ballroom Dancers (Antipolo City) 8.775
7th - Group 2. Perlas ng Silangan (Olongapo City) 8.575

10th - Group 1. Kasibulan (Muntinlupa City) 7.375
11th - Group 4. Beat Guys (Fairview, Quezon City) 7.325
