Returning GMA shows like Celebrity Duets and Tok! Tok! Tok! failed to be no. 1 on primetime last weekend although they beat their rivals. Instead, Pinoy Dream Academy grabbed the top spot in the primetime race last Sunday while ASAP, featuring the guesting of KC and Richard, got the lead in the daytime race.

In the battle of showbiz talk shows, Star Talk maintained its edge over Entertainment Live! last Saturday but it’s a different story on Sunday afternoon as The Buzz trumped GMA’s Showbiz Central.

After Dalja’s Spring, GMA premiered another Asianovela Monday night with My Husband’s Woman. It was beaten by Pinoy Dream Academy.
