The Big Four is finally known. With the forced eviction of heartthrob Jon Avila (who admitted that he “instigated” the nomination scam), the remaining house mates made up of Gaby Dela Merced, Riza Santos, Will Devaughn, and Ruben Gonzaga is automatically nominated as the Big Four of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2.

With a day away from the Big Night, who’s your choice for Big Winner?

In my own opinion, I think it’s a toss between Will and Gaby. Though Riza definitely has a large fan base. If I were to choose in the sense of “who needs it the most”, I’ll go for Ruben. But my personal bet to win though is Gaby.

Ara Mina with an interview @ kapamilya buzz, she said she’s a freelancer and she can show up on both GMA7 and ABS-CBN shows. Last night, I still saw her on Michael V’s Bubble gang. I checked the show out after someone tipped me regarding her “Prinsesa ng Banyera” stint at ABS-CBN is confirmed. Playing out a role as the “totoong prinsesa” as she puts it, this might be the twist the afternoon teledrama was waiting for, for Angelica dela Cruz’ clean exit.

Rumor says Angelica dela Cruz was offered by GMA7 tons of project deal to make her sign-up for the said network.

Going back, Ara Mina came along with the Wowowee crew and management on their Wowowee US tour. Giving a ‘hint-hint’ to GMA7 that they should give Ara a line-up of shows for her or else. ABS-CBN also got a ‘go-go’ signal from Ara’s manager Boy Abunda that she can make guestings and sideshows with ABS-CBN for extra income and continous exposure.

Although Ara Mina has no other shows under GMA other than Bubblegang which she reported that she’s still under contract with until February 2008.

This afternoon, while watching the said show, I’ve noticed how cold the studio audience were while participating on the games and the daily Boom-tarat/ Iyugyog mo routine.
At the end, Willie exclaimed “Alam nyo ba sa sobrang sikat ng show na ito, pati sa Youtube napapanood na tayo! Ilagay nyo ako sa Youtube (pertaining to the Latest Youtube Wowowee Scandal Video), natutuwa ako dyan (ehem*cue*sarcasm*)! Sabi nga nila masmagandang ikaw ang sinasaktan kaysa ikaw ang mananakit! Ipalabas nyo yan sa Youtube dahil ang katotohanan ang numero uno para sa amin ay ang sambayanang Pilipino!” (something like that, hey I’m not a stenographer, LOLZ).

Anyway, the “wowowee leaked video” was really disturbing. You just cant set aside how the Show Wowowee could pick out who they want to win. The Wilyonaryo Wheel Gadget is way too disturbing, this now makes me want to check out the props they use on their games.

On January 2008, Willie Revillame and Wowowee is bringing back the ever famous noon-time game Pera o Bayong. This to replace the ever-boring err what-dya call that game? Exhange or no-exchange arrrrgh whatever.

Perhaps the rest of the PINOY GAME SHOWS should be checked by Senator Mar Roxas and the Department of Trade and Industry. Wowowee is just one of them, Eat Bulaga, Kapamilya deal or no deal should be also dealt with the same “check and balance” routine. These shows may make false hopes and skewed perception for our less-fortunate countrymen who looks up to them and sacrifice a great deal of time and effort hoping they’ll get rich by patronizing and joining these shows.

ABS-CBN files contempt case versus AGB Nielsen.

AGB Nielsen is yet again facing another batch of legal complaints from ABS-CBN after they’ve published a new set of TV Ratings despite the orders from the court, to cease temporarily for 20 days to make way for an investigation.

As ABS-CBN chair Gabby Lopez puts it. The TV ratings is like a bible for advertisers and TV show producers, it’s their gauge to what’s hot or not for Pinoy TV viewers.
