Prior to SOP Gigsters cancellation, its competitor ASAP Fanatic was also cancelled a month earlier. Hosts Richard and Raymond Gutierrez were absorbed in SOPs roster of co-hosts while the other members of Gigsters such as Mark Herras, Ryza Cenon, Mike Tan, Marky Cielo and Dion Ignacio were able to secure prime spots in SOP as featured performers.
