Survivor Philippines Premiere Soars to Number 4 and Comments from "Paolo Bediones"

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

Two new shows went head to head last night, September 15: GMA-7's reality series Survivor Philippines and ABS-CBN's drama series Kahit Isang Saglit.

Survivor Philippines, hosted by Paolo Bediones, premiered with an impressive 31.8 percent to grab the fourth spot in the primetime race. Kahit Isang Saglit, starring Jericho Rosales and Malaysian actress Carmen Soo, debuted with a modest 22 percent; but it missed the Top 10 by placing 11th behind My Husband's Woman's 22.7 percent.

Aside from Survivor Philippines and My Husband's Woman, four other Kapuso shows made it to the Top 10: Dyesebel (No. 1), Codename: Asero (No. 2), Ako Si Kim Samsoon (No. 3), and 24 Oras (No. 5).

The rest of the Top were occupied by ABS-CBN shows: I Love Betty La Fea, TV Patrol World, Iisa Pa Lamang, and Dyosa.

By the way, so - called Paolo Bediones left this comment:

"hey everyone this is the first and last time i will be leaving a comment on this site. i just want to hank all those who watched the show from beginning to the end and i appreciate all the pertinent comments and suggestions. as i mentioned in PEX everything that we have done and will do has been approved by the owner of survivor worldwide - castaway productions. all of the twists - and there will be many - as well as the adapted challenges have gone through the very strict process that made survivor a success worldwide. with regards to the annoation during challenges m sorry guys but you have to get used to my voice. it's a franchise and worldwide thats what the host does since we serve as producer calling the moment like it is either objectively or subjectively. jeff does it and so do all the other hosts around the world to stay true to the essence of a franchise.

Anyway on a lighter note, the comparison to extra challenge is expected but trust me this is way bigger than extra challenge. i am sure that those people who are truly observant will notice a difference in disposition and demeanor in the way i conduct myself in survivor philippines. i have a section in the official website survivorphilippines.tv called ask paolo where you can field any question regarding any aspect of the show for those that are really curious about whats going on. again to those pertinent comments and suggestions rest assured they will all be taken to heart. after twelve years in the business i have learned to filter what is of value and what is garbage and i also learned that i cannot please everybody. i guess i have been doing something right all this time to be blessed with the kind of longevity i have in this business. God Bless you all and see you in DOT TV.
