From TOP 100, it was trimmed down to TOP 60, then from TOP 60 to TOP 30, and from TOP 30 to the Final 14 finalists. The Final Fourteen Kids Survivors underwent various workshops and trainings in order to develop their personalities, talents, and charisma. But, the twist is that every week, one of the Final 14 K may have to say goodbye until only four remain. Those who were eliminated were dubbed as "StarStruck Avengers".
