Survivor Philippines Celebrity Edition has been consistently on top of the ratings chart. That is, until Willing Willie aired. While Survivor Philippines is still in the lead, Willing Willie is fast catching up with GMA7 show.
Interestingly, both shows jack up their ratings with the use of dramatic moments. Willing Willie employs the usual sob stories of ordinary Filipinos. Survivor Philippines, on the other hand, goes for the separation and reunion of the contestants with their loved ones.
While tears for Willing Willie come from stories of abject poverty, Survivor Philippines has the right blend of sadness and joy to move the viewers to tears. Willing Willie undoubtedly caters to the masses while Survivore Philippines caters to the middle and upper classes. The ratings game between the two shows is actually a match between social classes. Admittedly, Willing Willie pulled in big numbers as far as viewership is concerned in its first telecast. But in the long run, I think Survivor Philippines will maintain its lead. Survivor Philippines has its exciting challenges and unpredictability of outcome that make viewers addicted to the show. I love Survivor Philippines.
