Alam mo, these shows are not really game shows but more of entertainment shows. Like Eat Bulaga they were set up to stir the interest of the viewers, hence easy and zany contests. Rigged? maybe and maybe not. Can it be proven? Is it criminally prosecutable or just a story to follow, And if it is would it be worth pursuing?
Or will this lead to what? 2 to 3 weeks of public outcry that will soon be forgotten. And with a little bit of spin be back in business again.
The bigger and more clearcut crime for me seems to be the event at Ultra.
Two things will make Wowowee a terminal case (i) criminal and/or civil convictions and/or (ii) the loss of money from the advertisers.
i wish they’d go after abs-cbn and that they finally fire willie. first of all, I believe gameshows are really scripted and planned otherwise, they’ll have no control over their budget. second, they could have easily solved it if willie did have genuine talent in not making in pretty obvious to the viewers.
Simply put, this was a poor (VERY POOR) attempt by willie to spin the blame. some accused wife beaters are known to do that….
