GMA 7 on the Losing End According to the Latest AGB Ratings

Heads are surely rolling on Kamuning as GMA 7 continues to lose its grip over Mega Manila with the latest ratings according to AGB. They should consider looking into the quality of their shows this time than on doing the rounds of giving away groceries, like what they were alleged before. But seriously, something has to be done fast before ABC 5 could reign over the number two spot that would leave GMA on number 3.

Here's the March 4 AGB ratings for Mega Manila according to PEP.

Daytime:

Diz Iz It! (GMA-7) 7.6%; Showtime (ABS-CBN) 18%
Eat Bulaga! (GMA-7) 16.4%; Daisy Siete: Bebe & Me (GMA-7) 11.3%; Wowowee (ABS-CBN) 18.4%
Gumapang Ka Sa Lusak (GMA-7) 11.8%; Magkano ang Iyong Dangal? (ABS-CBN) 11.4%
Ina, Kasusuklaman Ba Kita? (GMA-7) 13.7%; Maria de Jesus: Anghel Sa Lansangan (ABS-CBN) 9.1%; Banana Split Daily Servings (ABS-CBN) 7.7%

Diva (GMA-7) 25.6%; Habang May Buhay (ABS-CBN) 28.5%
Queen Seon Deok (GMA-7) 21.7%; Rubi (ABS-CBN) 25.3%
SRO Cinemaserye Presents Meet the Fathers (GMA-7) 11.5%; SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon (ABS-CBN) 13.7%

GMA 7 should really think hard before getting artists from the other network. They should also look into their own artists and make sure that they won't ever let go again of someone like Toni Gonzaga and Angel Locsin. As for their current lineup of artists, the only looker who has what it takes to succeed is Jake Vargas. Forget about the regular lookers that won on the recently concluded Star Struck. They should be able to pull up something as good as Pilipinas Got Talent to draw in real talents to their ward. The formula actually lies on the judges. If ever they will do such, they must make sure that the judges are credible. As for the yet to be shown Party Pilipinas, they must start with something fresh and out of the box in order to shine, even if this would mean that they have to drop the four original has-been hosts of SOP.

Celebrity Tweets

So Twitter is the best source of inside stories about celebs and other network insiders. Here are some of the latest tsismis from the Tweet-landia.

Kris Aquino on Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo & the Kimerald:

Taping KTM- leaving to immigrate. Then time lapse. Then- baby James will be taping na. I'm so excited. 1st scene nya he'll be moonwalking like Michael Jackson- sana NO TOPAK that day. -@itsmekrisaquino, March 3

Sweet talaga si Kim and Gerald! Kim made libre my new favorite siomai and putopao. Then before midnight, Gerald naman treated all of us to Starbucks. I really have so much affection for the 2 of them. So easy to work with. So professional! -@itsmekrisaquino, March 1

(I can't wait to see Baby James on TV. Finally, excitement is on the air for KTM after 10,000 years of dragging back story.)

The Ezra Band Made an Impression on Pilipinas Got Talent Audition

Just when I thought that I could lessen the time that I spend watching TV, I caught this band's performance on their audition for Pilipinas Got Talent. I was already in awe when the pianist began playing, but the awe was even higher when the vocalist, who surprisingly is a girl, began singing. Aaw... These are the kinds of talents that GMA-7 must look for to revive SOP or whatever they wish to replace it with. They are called the Ezra Band, and I have high hopes that we'll see more of them or hear their songs soon.
