Survivor blah!

Kahapon nagstart ang Survivor Philippines which I personally think was a bad idea since I am a fan of Survivor and I don't think they could pull it off like the original Survivor series. Pero dahil curious ako I gave them the benefit of a doubt and watched it. OMG!!! Mangagaya na nga lang hindi pa gawing maayos. Terrible is an understatement. Una, kelangan ba talaga kahit ang style ni Jeff Probst sa damit e kelangang gayahin? Pati ang location nila ginaya rin. The opening scene of Survivor which is usually exciting and grand took forever. At kelangan talaga mega detail si Paolo sa pageexplain ng nangyayari sa mga castaways with matching side comments na hindi naman talaga necessary dahil uhmmm obvious na naman yung nangyayari diba. At anung nangyari sa gagamitin lang nila yung mga damit nila na suot nila e binigyan rin sila ng raincoats at appropriate shoes!! Survivor nga ba ito?? Pero di lang yon kelangan talagang ipakita ang puzzle na kelangan nilang gawin e kaya nga tinawag na puzzle eh para ittry nilang ifigure out yun. At supposedly e neutral lang si Paolo e tinuruan niya kaya yung guys team dun sa rewards challenge. Talk about fairness. At ang pinakamasamang ginawa nila sa format ng Survivor e hindi pala ito 1 hour show once a week kung hindi EVERYDAY!!! Anu pang excitement dun?? E yun yung rason why I'm looking forward to the next episode because for sure something unexpected happened pero ang isang buong linggo ng crappy episodes!!! Dapat talaga iban na ang paggaya ng mga international shows kung hindi rin naman nila maeexecute ng maayos!!!

(Medyo naghihimutok lang dahil binaboy nila ang Survivor series e fan pa naman ako nun hmph)

I love Survivor as well so I thought of giving the local show a chance (but it slipped my mind that the premiere was shown yesterday).

Anyway, Filipinos are not yet ready for "weekly" shows. Our networks thrive on the daily hits. Masyado na kasing nasanay sa mga soap opera type na me inaabangan araw araw.

Just a few days ago, I was wondering kung kailan kaya makakagawa ang mga Filipinos ng mga show na tipong Charmed (or any series for that matter) na once a week lang talaga AT stand alone ang mga story per episode.

Hay... mga Pinoy talaga.

@makmak: truetrue i think one reason why Filipinos couldn't do a once a week series is that we don't have enough creative juices because if it is going to be a once a week format of series then networks need to create a bunch of different shows with a different concept for their network for a certain number of months. Ngayon nga wala na silang magawa kundi mag Filipino version nalang ng international hits eh...

@ JM: tutoong me bet akong isa o dalawa dun pero their bodies are not reasons enough to make me submit myself to torture...
