Although she did not make it into the final fourteen of StarStruck season four, Chariz Solomon is still grateful for her experience in the reality-based
artista search.

For her, the journey put her through a whirlwind of emotions and taught her several lessons that she applies until today.
“Talagang nakaka-stress kasi competition talaga siya eh. Walang friendship friendship [at first]… Ang pinakamalaking natutunan ko doon is pakikisama… Lahat naman [na nag-a-advance doon ay] deserving eh. But sa huli, siyempre 'yung pipiliin nila [ay] kung sino professional sa work and sino 'yung magaling makisama,” she shared.
According to her, 'StarStruck' is more than a competition; it’s a training ground and a venue for character building.
“I think kaya ako nandito [sa industriya ay] hindi lang dahil sa kung ano 'yung meron ako skill-wise at talent-wise but also 'yung character and 'yung attitude [ko] towards work,” she added.
Because of the tools she gained and inspiration she gathered, she was able to score any comedian’s dream – to be part of Bubble Gang.
“Noong bata pa lang ako, pinapanood ko na 'yung Bubble Gang. Halos kasabay ko na 'yang lumaki. Sinasabi ko ‘siguro ang saya saya nila sa trabaho nila’ [tapos ngayon part na ko ng show]. It’s an honor talaga at ang dami kong natututunan sa [mga kasama ko]… Feel ko sobrang family kami doon,” she shared.
She partly attributes the fulfillment of her dream to her unforgettable albeit brief StarStruck stint.
“Of course [kasama ang StarStruck sa journey ko as an artista]… 'Yung StarStruck, malaking bahagi siya ng pagkatao ko ngayon dahil doon ako nag-crash course. Doon [ko] lahat [na-experience],” she said.
