TV Ratings: Pinoy Idol, Tasya Fantasya debut impressively

Two new shows from GMA-7 made their debuts last weekend, the reality-based singing competition Pinoy Idol and the afternoon fantaserye Tasya Fantasya. Pinoy Idol, a franchise of the international Idol competitions around the world, debuted last Saturday, April 5, at No. 3 with 26.3 percent; behind Bitoy's Funniest Videos' 32.2 percent and Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho's 30.2%. The show is hosted by Raymond Gutierrez with Ogie Alcasid, Jolina Magdangal, and Wyngard Tracy as judges. Tasya Fantasya, starring Yasmien Kurdi, had its premiere last Sunday, April 6, with 15.7. Since the rating of Invasion: The Philippines vs. The World, where Filipino boxer Gerry Peñalosa beat Thai challenger Ratanachai Sor Vorapin, is not yet unavailable, the ranking of the Top 10 daytime shows are not yet determined. After more than three months, The Buzz finally beat Showbiz Central again. The Buzz, which featured live interviews with Annabelle Rama and co-host Ruffa Gutierrez, got 11.5 percent versus Showbiz Central's 10 percent. Eat Bulaga! topped the daytime race Friday and Saturday while Joaquin Bordado maintained its No. 1 position in the primetime race last Friday.
