Magsasagupaan sana ang dating big star ng GMA na si Angel Locsin at ang bagong big star ng GMA na si Marian Rivera last Monday night kung saan celebrity contestant si Angel ng Deal or No Deal na katapat sana ng Marimar ng siyete. Pero dahil nagtapos na ang Lupin last Friday, umatras ang schedule ng Marimar kung saan ang nakatapat nito ay ang Ysabella ni Judy Ann Santos. Ang Deal or No Deal ay nagtala ng 32.8% rating last Monday night, the highest among ABS-CBN programs that day, patunay lamang na malakas pa rin ang hatak ni Angel Locsin sa televiewers. Subalit hindi ito sapat upang maging no. 1 tv program of the day dahil ang Marimar ni Marian Rivera ay nagtala ng 33.1% rating, nangunguna pa rin sa lahat ng programa for the 6th consecutive night since its premiere last August 16, 2007.

Usually, 9% to 10% ang lamang ng Marimar sa katapat nitong Deal or No Deal subalit noong Lunes kung saan si Angel Locsin ang naging contestant, nagtala ito ng 32.8% rating, an impressive 9 to 10 points increase from it’s average na 22%. At muntik pa nitong talunin ang Marimar para sa Top program of the day!

Samantala, the GMA management should congratulate Richard Gutierrez dahil hanggang matapos ang programa nitong Lupin ay nanatili itong no. 1 sa kanyang timeslot. The series ender of Lupin registered 37.6% last Friday, second to Marimar sa Top 10 shows last Friday.

As for Kokey, akala natin magpapatuloy na itong mamamayagpag ng daigin ang katapat na programang Mga Mata ni Angelita last Thursday at Friday pero last Monday ay nakabawi muli si Anghelita. ‘Mga Mata Ni Anghelita’ posted a 31.1 percent rating while Kokey got 29.8 percent.

Looks like Entertainment Live is a one hit wonder dahil nadaig lamang nito ang Startalk noong premiere telecast nito. Sa second episode nito ay dinaig na siya ng Startalk. At sa ikatlong episode nito ay timambakan na talaga siya ng Startalk with a 19.6% against 15.4% rating.

As for the showbiz talk shows last Sunday, 0.1 lang ang lamang ng The Buzz sa katapat nitong Showbiz Central. Showbiz Central got 15.5% while The Buzz got 15.4%. Both shows presented the Ylmaz-Ruffa comeback story kung saan nagsalita si Ruffa sa The Buzz at ang ina naman niyang si Annabelle Rama sa Showbiz Central.

Very promising din ang premiere ng Kap’s Amazing Stories ni Senator Bong Revilla last Sunday kung saan nagtala ito ng 27% rating, good for second best of the day. Ang Tok Tok Tok ni Paolo Bediones ang no. 1 show last Sunday with a 27.1% rating.

It’s also interesting to note that ASAP posted a rating of 20.6% rating while SOP received only 17%. Last Sunday is Angel Locsin’s grand welcome sa ASAP, another proof that “good deal” talaga ang pagkuha ng ABS-CBN sa kanya.

This is going to be more exciting next month kung saan sasabak na si Angel Locsin sa primetime. I’m really REALLY hoping na itatapat ang fantaserye nila ni Piolo Pascual sa Marimar ng siyete.
