Some dedicated viewers of ‘Eat Bulaga’ seemed less than enthused about the debut of its latest segment, ‘That’s My Boyfriend’, which premiered on Wednesday afternoon.
Comments flooding the TVJ Facebook page’s live stream, where the noontime show is broadcasted online, expressed various sentiments about the new addition.
That’s My Boyfriend na! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/oPsjTXUzKs

Many viewers found the segment lacking in entertainment value, deeming it a waste of time for ‘EB’. Some even voiced their preference for the return of old segments like ‘That’s My Boy’ and ‘Little Miss Philippines’.
Nevertheless, amidst the mixed reactions, there were loyal Dabarkads viewers who embraced and enjoyed the new segment.

That’s My Boyfriend halatang ginaya ng Eat Bulaga ang Expecially For You ng Its Showtime
No originality at all and at the end of the day mas sikat pa rin ang segment ng its showtime!— ΛC ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ . (@hollerspice94) April 11, 2024

Could this be ‘EB’s response to ‘It’s Showtime’s trending ‘EXpecially for You’ segment? Both features see hosts seated on a sofa/couch.
‘That’s My Boy’ was teased on TV5 and ‘EB’s online platforms, leading viewers to anticipate a segment centered around talented young boys.
However, the full title, ‘That’s My Boyfriend’, was only unveiled during Wednesday’s broadcast.
While the initial assumption among viewers was that the segment would focus on showcasing the talents of young boys, it was revealed to center around girlfriends showing off their boyfriend’s unique skills.
The theme of ‘EB’s new segment differs significantly from ‘It’s Showtime’s ‘EXpecially for You’.
While the former highlights girlfriends flaunting their boyfriend’s talents, the latter focuses on finding closure in past relationships and embarking on new romantic endeavors.
