Whammy - Push Your Luck

November 16, 2007

Dear Whammy,

Thank you so much for supplanting all those teleseryes Kapuso airs from 6-630. Now I can fall into deep slumber during these times.

As to why it wants you to exist, I don't know. Why it believes this show is riveting, I don't know.

I don't even know what your point is.

You claim to be an exciting game show, but you are as exciting as a dinner with mannequins. All you require of gamers are for them to press buttons. Incidentally, you push the wrong ones. You're technically like videogames, except they have a lot more going on than a bunch of obnoxious celebrities yelping "Money money ayoko ng whammy STOOOOOOP!". And you bet we enjoy seeing celebrities win a bunch of monoblock chairs or fishball showcase. That's very important. Your occasional attempt at "intelligence" also fails when all you require are for gamers to answer brain-dead trivia questions. Besides offering us pure joy as Vandolph gets showered with slimy goo, you have even the hosts bored. You have no grasp to what an entertainment is.

I revise my stance. Go away. I prefer watching (while criticizing) Le Robe to tolerating another minute of badly CG-ified monster laughing in that generic hoarse monster-y voice.

All the best.
