24 Oras, Survivor lead primetime shows

It seems that televiewers—well, at least, the Kapuso viewers—are now more interested in news and reality shows rather than fantaseryes and soap operas. The newscast 24 Oras topped the primetime race last night, November 3, and tied with Survivor Philippines at No. 2 Friday night, October 31.

Generating a 34.6 percent rating last night, 24 Oras led all primetime shows. It toppled former No. 1 Gagambino, Dennis Trillo's fantaserye, which dropped to second place with 34.2 percent.

Survivor Philippines, despite starting at the late hour of 9:45 to 10 p.m., posted amazing figures. Its 33.8 percent rating last night pulled the Paolo Bediones-hosted reality show up to third place.

Coming in fourth and fifth place are Richard Gutierrez's Codename: Asero (32.5 percent) and Rhian Ramos's La Lola (32.3 percent), respectively.

The rest of the 10 were occupied by Iisa Pa Lamang (No. 6), top-billed by Claudine Barretto; Dyosa starring Anne Curtis and I Love Betty La Fea featuring Bea Alonzo (No. 7); ABS-CBN newscast TV Patrol World (No. 8); Family Feud hosted by Richard Gomez (No. 9); and the GMA-7 Koreanovela My Husband's Woman (No. 10)

Overall, seven Kapuso shows made it into the Top 10 while four came from the Kapamilya network.

This was also the case last Friday when seven GMA-7 shows took the first six slots while the rest of the Top 10 were occupied by ABS-CBN programs.

Leading the pack was Gagambino with 33 percent. As mentioned earlier, 24 Oras and Survivor Philippines tied for second place with identical 32.8 percent rating.

Kapuso shows Codename: Asero, La Lola, Bubble Gang, and Family Feud grabbed No. 3 to No. 6. Now on its 13th year, GMA-7's Bubble Gang is now the longest-running gag show.

Taking the 7th to 10th spots are Kapamilya shows I Love Betty La Fea, Iisa Pa Lamang, TV Patrol World, and Dyosa.
