Although last Sunday's episode of The Buzz was highly anticipated because of Cristy Fermin's explosive response to Nadia Montenegro's accusations, it was still beaten by rival talk show "Showbiz Central." In fact, the GMA showbiz talk show topped the ratings in the daytime race.

The new series “My Only Hope” featuring Gerald Anderson and Kim Chiu debuted with 15.5% beating “Dear Friend” featuring Dennis Trillo and Heart Evangelista.
