“Eat Bulaga!” is on top of the ratings again, thanks to the unlikely AlDub love team that is making mincemeat of “It’s Showtime!”
For a long time, the popular program reigned as the king of noontime shows until Vice Ganda of “It’s Showtime!” took the showbiz world by storm.
At first, it seemed that Tito, Vic, and Joey were no match for Vice Ganda who captivated young and old viewers alike with his creative segments and modern hosting style.
Now it appears that “Eat Bulaga!” is back with a vengeance and has reclaimed its crown as the leader in noontime entertainment courtesy of AlDub.
With the pairing of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza (a.k.a Yaya Dub), fans were hooked and the Kalyeserye #KiligPaMore has become a trending topic. Videos of the two have been uploaded and played time and again by avid viewers.
The recent AGB Nielsen Mega Manila Ratings prove this. The afternoon block from July 28 to August 1, 2015 was led by “Eat Bulaga!” The show got its highest rating on August 1, 2015 with a score of 28.1%. In contrast, “It’s Showtime!” only got 11.1% despite its trending “Funny One” segment. While “Eat Bulaga!” fared a bit low on July 28, 2015 with 24.6%, its rival program was nowhere to be found in the Top 10 Afternoon Shows.
Clearly, the love team of Yaya Dub and Alden Richards was instrumental in making this happen. Since it started on July 16, 2015, the Dabarkads couldn’t resist the strong chemistry between the two. It began when Maine noticed that Alden was staring at her.
Wally Bayola who plays the role of Lola Nidora, said they learned later that Maine really likes Alden. From then on, one thing led to another and the AlDub tandem was born – something Alden didn’t expect.
