'Green Rose', 'The Price Is Right' & 'Happy Yipee Yehey!' pilot episodes fail to shake up ratings in Mega Manila

'Green Rose' and 'The Price is Right' were the two ABS-CBN shows which aired its pilot episodes last night, but both failed to impress in Mega Manila ratings.

'Green Rose', which is a Philippine remake of a Koreanovela and stars Jericho Rosales and Anne Curtis, scored a pilot rating of 7.1% while 'The Price Is Right', hosted by Kris Aquino, marked 4.5% debut rating, according to the figures released by AGB Nielsen via Pep.ph.

Both pilot ratings unfortunately failed to beat competitions and didn't even rank in the Top 10 Highest-Rated Primetime Programs last night.

Meanwhile, GMA's "Nita Negrita" with Barbie Forteza in the title role also premiered on the afternoon the same day with a high 7.8% rating, ranking 4th in the Top 10 Daytime Programs.

Willie Revillame, who hosts "Willing Willie" on TV5, is probably the happiest to hear that the ABS-CBN's new noontime show "Happy Yipee Yehey" didn't score high ratings on its first Saturday and Monday episodes.

Willie reportedly predicted that the show, which is hosted by his friends John Estrada and Randy Santiago, will have low ratings.

Last Saturday, Happy Yipee Yehey had a debut ratings of 5.1% as against Eat Bulaga's 12%. But it's already the 4th highest rating among daytime programs.

And for its first Monday episode, the new show had a terrible 3.8% rating which didn't even place in the Top 10. It ranked 11th.

But Willie shouldn't be rejoicing if the said ABS-CBN show didn't soar high in the ratings 'coz his own show isn't doing well lately during weekdays.

Last Friday, it ranked at the bottom, at #14. Then just last Monday, it's again out of the Top 10, ranking 12th, which was not the case during its first few weeks of airing.TOP 10 HIGHEST-RATED PROGRAMS

"Happy, Yipee, Yehey!" premieres February 12 on ABS-CBN

"Happy, Yipee, Yehey!" is the title of ABS-CBN's newest noontime show, which premieres next Saturday, February 12, 2011.Do you like the
title "Happy, Yipee, Yehey!" or not?Whoever thought of "Happy, Yipee, Yehey!" probably just
celebrated his birthday or any joyous celebration. Or he probably drew
inspiration from Wowowee's "Hep Hep Hooray!"

But it's just a title, and the viewers are still after the "content"
of the show.

ABS-CBN's 5-month noontime show "Pilipinas Win Na Win" had a nice-sounding title, but it wasn't successful. So maybe, "Happy,
Yipee, Yehey" which is most suited as a title for a children show could spell success for ABS-CBN.

I'm actually feeling positive that it will be a hit to the viewers, especially with the exciting line-up of hosts.

"Happy, Yipee, Yehey!" will be hosted by Randy Santiago, John Estrada, Mariel Rodriguez and Toni Gonzaga plus Melai Cantiveros, Bianca
Manalo, Bentong and Youtube sensation Kuya Jobert (Banana Split, Usapang Lalake).

[Oh sad! I thought Sam Milby will be part of this show.]

This marks the return to noontime hosting of Randy, John, Mariel and Toni while it's a first for Melai and Bianca.

Bentong, I think, should be crowned "King of Noontime Show" 'coz he's always been part of an ABS-CBN noontime. He was also in Magandang Tanghali Bayan, Masayang Tanghali Bayan, Wowowee
and Pilipinas Win Na Win.

John Estrada snubs Willie Revillame's 50th birthday party | Rico J. Puno to host John's supposed noontime show on TV5?

John Estrada did not attend Willie Revillame's 50th Birthday Celebration held at the Makati Shangri-la last Saturday.

It's a proof that John Estrada and Willie Revillame are really not in good terms after John signed up with ABS-CBN to host a new noontime show with Randy Santiago, Toni Gonzaga and Mariel Rodriguez.

Even Randy Santiago, who's also Willie's longtime friend, was also missing at the birthday bash.

John, Randy, Toni and Mariel already had a meeting for the new noontime show last Saturday night, co-inciding with Willie's golden birthday celebration.

John and Randy accepting ABS-CBN's offer made Willie really upset because the latter was already negotiating with TV5 a new noontime show to be hosted by the two.

Willie even had an emotional outburst about it on his show last Tuesday. (Watch video: Willie Revillame's outburst on Willing Willie against John Estrada and Randy Santiago)

There's now a big possibility that Willie won't attend John and Priscilla Meirelles' wedding where Willie is supposed to be John's Best Man.

Moving on, Willie reportedly now wants his ever loyal friend Rico J. Puno to host the TV5 noontime show which will be co-produced by Willie's Wil Productions.

Rico was present at the birthday party and he reportedly did mention there about the said new show given to him by Willie.

PMPC President Roldan Castro tweeted about it on Twitter the same night: "Sey ni Rico J. Puno: 'Inaway mo si John, binigyan mo ako ng noontime show. Prodyus ng Will Productions'. True ba ito o biro lang?"

Then the following day, Pep.ph also reported about it and Rico doesn't sound like he's joking. "Mahilig kang mang-away, inaway mo si John. Pero dahil mahilig kang mang-away, nagkaroon tuloy ako ng show sa Wil Productions."

Rico J. Puno along with other "hitmakers" recently hosted ABS-CBN's noontime show Pilipinas Win Na Win but it went off air before the New Year due to poor ratings.

Willie Revillame outburst on "Willing Willie" this time against John Estrada and Randy Santiago

Willie Revillame is going controversial again too early this 2011 with a recent outburst on his TV5 show "Willing Willie".

On his show's January 26, 2011 episode, Willie Revillame aired on national TV his disappointment over longtime friends John Estrada and Randy Santiago for accepting ABS-CBN's offer to host a new show.

He is referring to a new noontime show airing soon on ABS-CBN and will be hosted, reportedly, by John and Randy plus Mariel Rodriguez and Toni Gonzaga.

Willie was really mad because he even told John to look for a replacement of him as Best Man on John's wedding to Priscilla Meirelles this February.

Watch a video of the said "Willing Willie" episode...

As seen on the video, Willie was talking on the phone with John while his show was on air.

If in case the video above isn't working, here's what Willie was telling John:

"Bakit? May noontime show na kayo dito, inaayos ko na saka aalis kayo. ang hirap sa inyo iiwanan nyo naman ako. Iniwan nyo na ko dati. Tandaan mo 'to, hindi magri-rate yan. Tandaan mo yan. Ako nagsasabi sa 'yo."

"O ayan, sige bahala kayo! Hindi, ipaplug ko dito Eat Bulaga araw-araw. O bakit? Ito si John Estrada (telling the audience) nag-uusap na raw sila. Ano? Nandito sa studio. Sandali. Ano?

"Kasi dapat may noontime show sila rito eh. Tapos bigla na namang lilipat na lang sa Channel ano na naman. Inaayos ko na tapos eto. Nakakasama kayo ng loob. Inaayos ko na lahat tapos bigla nyo naman akong iiwan na naman."

"Ano? Hindi na 'ko pupunta sa kasal mo. Maghanap ka ng ibang Best Man. Kahit manood ka ng TV, Channel 5, baka naglipat ka na naman. Basta maghanap ka na ng ibang Best Man. Eh ikaw bahala ka. Basta ako, iniwan nyo na ko dati. Hindi na, iniwan nyo na ko dati. Pinagkaisahan nyo ko, bumalik ako sa MTB, hinanap ko pa rin kayo. Kayo pa rin ang binalik ko, alam nyo yan. Pero kung iiwan nyo ko ngayon, okay na yan. Magsulian na tayo ng kandila."

"Okay lang yan. Kung mas mahal nyo yan, na gumanyan sa 'tin, tinanggal tayo. Pag 'di kayo nag-rate, tatanggalin din kayo niyan. Maniwala kayo sa 'kin. Tama? (asking the audience)"

The audience shouted back "TAMAAAAA".

"Sinalo na tayo ng Channel 5. Eto na sumali sa 'tin eh, tatalikod pa tayo sa kanila. Tama? (asking the audience again)"

"O basta bahala ka na. Basta ako, minahal kita bilang kaibigan. Pag nag-Channel 2, nag-noontime show ka pa dyan, wala kang kaibigan na Willie. Masakit yang gagawin nyo sa 'kin dahil inayos ko na, nag-meeting na ko kagabi tungkol sa noontime show dito. Yun lang. Masama talaga loob ko. Masama ang loob ko dahil inayos ko na to kay Mr. MVP, kay Mr. Rey. Pero kung dyan kayo masaya sa nanakit sa 'kin, sa nanakit sa 'tin dati, dyan na lang kayo."

"O sige lang. Tatrabaho muna ko. Oo, okay na 'yun".

Now talking to the audience....

"Ganon lang kasimple ang buhay, dapat totoo ka.... Guest natin sila, kelan ba guest natin si John? Sabado? Di na pupunta yan. Pipigilan na yan kasi Friday yata sila magsisimula dun eh. Di ba?"

Someone from the audience shouted, "Okay lang 'yan! Dito na lang kami!"

Willie responded, "Oo kayo importante sa buhay ko".

"Di ba? Alam nyo nag-meeting na kami eh. May noontime show dapat dito, Randy, John. Sasabihin ko sana 'yung iba pang babae pero, tapos, masakit sa loob ko dahil inaayos ko na maayos sila rito. Tapos bigla silang inofferan ng Channel 2, nandun na naman sila sa Channel 2. Hay naku!"

"Eat Bulaga tayo! Eat Bulaga tayo!"

***

It happened a day before Willie's 50th birthday.

On a positive note, Willie is reportedly donating P100,000 each to the families of 5 people who were killed at the EDSA Bus Blast last January 25, according to @jiritajackson (Cecile van Straten of Chuvaness) on Twitter.

[The casualties at the said EDSA Bus Bombing were Johansson Reyes (a Culinary Arts student) and his girlfriend Shirley Kristel Andes, Johnlie Daquioag (a call center agent), Mariano Salustino (an FX driver) and Irish Teniola (another call center agent). Irish was the last casualty. She was rushed to the hospital alive but died hours later.]

So generous of Willie! But hopefully, he'll go full blast by also giving help to the Eton Residences workers who died yesterday, January 27. The accident unfortunately happened on the same day of Willie's golden birthday.
