Wowowee Is No More

Cristy Fermin tried to one-up the competition by announcing that Willie Revillame would be returning to the noontime show Wowowee on July 31.

Cristy was wrong but naturally she blamed it on an ABS-CBN executive who wants Willie to get on one of his yachts and sail away never to be seen again.

As is ABS-CBS's wont, the network don't completely cancel a show in trouble. Instead, they reinvent it. Case in point: Showtime. And now, Wowowee.

Wowowee will be coming back, in the form of Pilipinas Win Win Win. Creative title, ain't it? The show will be hosted by Robin Padilla, Kris Aquino, Pokwang, Marielle Rodriguez and Valerie Concepcion.

Same old faces. Same set. Same set of games, almost. Same prizes. And same dancers. Well what innovative show can you come up when you are told on Tuesday that you are going to launch a new show on Saturday?

With Wowowee out, where's Cristy's precious Willie now? Unfortch, ABS-CBN is cooking up a Saturday show for Willie. But I have the feeling Willie, not even his shadow, will be seen in ABS-CBN again. He's eyeing that network where the person who is No 1 on his Christmas list is currently working.
