After watching the very first studio performance episode of ‘Pinoy Idol’ (PI), I commented out on someone’s blog about the neon logo thing on the front side of the judges’ table. We, the blog author and I, agreed that the thing was annoying. It was very bright on the TV screen that you can hardly see the Pinoy Idol logo. What makes me smile, after a week, the neon logo thing was replaced by an LCD screen showing the title card (the animated logo) of the show.
Maybe the staff and producers of the show also noticed that glitch or their researchers are great that they found out blogs like the ones where I posted my comment. Okay, I don’t want to comment more about their studio. All I can say, sana naman nilubos na nila ang pang-pa-pirate ng show from Philippine Idol.
I thought ‘Pinoy Dream Academy’ (PDA) is very late but now I think the two shows will have their own finale at the same time, haha, or a week after one had. I was wondering also, did they really carried over the stage design of ‘Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus: The Big Night’ and they (the management) liked it or they just want the viewers a peek of the stage design of the PDA Concert Hall that’s why they made the PBB Big Night stage that way? Whatever the reason, PDA Concert Hall, is far better than PI’s performance theater. I remember when we were wandering around SM Mall of Asia last time, we encountered PI there so I may conclude that the performances shown at prime time is not live compared to PDA and American Idol. Ok, I don’t want to post more about my unlikeness to PI , but I still watch both shows since their time slots are not in conflict.
Another reason I posted this topic because GMA has now acquired a franchise of Survivor and renamed here as ‘Survivor Philippines’ hosted by no other than, guess who, Paolo Bediones.
If ABS-CBN has Kris Aquino as their game show host, GMA has Paolo Bediones.

Surprisingly after Survivor Philippines’ teaser has been shown to the public, they were rumors that ABS-CBN also acquired another reality show from Endemol, ‘Fear Factor’ (FF). Well, it is confirmed and starting last month, ABS-CBN has been showing their own teaser for FF dubbed as ‘Pinoy Fear Factor in South America’ (PFFSA). I encountered in most forums that they prefer ‘The Amazing Race’ than FF.
Anyway, I am wondering because I think ABS-CBN’s format of Fear Factor has the same concept as Survivor. PFFSA’s teaser says that the players will stay somewhere in a foreign land, which is in South America, for a month, which is some how like Survivor for 39 days (not sure of this since I don’t watch Survivor).
We’ll just wait for the premier of there shows.
