TV Ratings (Nov. 20-22): "Whammy!" and "PBB Celebrity Edition" improve their ratings

"Kamandag and Prinsesa ng Banyera make their presence felt."

Whammy! Push Your Luck escaped Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal's gallant stand last Tuesday, November 20. Carrying a slim margin, Paolo Bediones and Rufa Mae Quinto's game show on GMA-7 posted a 23.5 percent rating against Kris Aquino's ABS-CBN game show, 22.4 percent, to claim the top spot anew in the daytime column.Despite falling short once again, Deal or No Deal's Tuesday performance was strong enough to outmuscle Eat Bulaga, Daisy Siete, and Pasan Ko ang Daigdig—all perennial topnotchers in the group.

In the primetime race, Marimar remained rock solid at the No. 1 spot, with Kamandag looming steadily at second place. Collecting a 43.4 percent rating last Tuesday, Marimar still got the better of Richard Gutierrez's new fantaserye, which registered a 40.9 percent rating.Unpredictable Lastikman pulled a 24.2 percent rating to shoot its way back to the Top 10. Lastikman was followed by Princess Sarah's 23.7 percent grade.

Wednesday, November 21, still belonged to Whammy! although following it this time was Eat Bulaga. Settling at second best, Eat Bulaga! tallied a 22.4 percent rating to beat Daisy Siete's 21.8 percent. Filling in the bottom part were Pilipinas, Game KNB? (17.8 percent) and Pinoy Movie Hits (17.4 percent).Marimar once again topped the primetime block, while four other Kapuso shows made it into the Top 5—Kamandag (No. 2, 40.1 percent), Zaido (No. 3, 36.8 percent), 24 Oras (No. 4, 33.3 percent), and La Vendetta (No. 5, 31.8 percent). Another GMA-7 show, Hwang Jini, tied with Lastikman in No. 10 with identical 21.5 percent rating.Meanwhile, the sixth to ninth spots were occupied by ABS-CBN programs: TV Patrol World (28.1 percent), Princess Sarah (27.2 percent), Pangarap na Bituin (26.1 percent), and Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition (24.2 percent).

November 22, Thursday, was more interesting as daytime shows were locked in fierce competition, resulting in deadlocks.Eat Bulaga! and Daisy Siete both got 22.5 percent rating to share the top spot while Wowowee, Pasan Ko ang Daigdig, and Deal or No Deal each collected a rating of 19.3 to crowd the No.3 position.The logjam enabled other programs usually outside the Top 10 to barge in like Prinsesa ng Banyera, which accumulated a rating of 13 percent, good for ninth spot, followed by SiS's 10.5 percent.Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition, meanwhile, improved its ranking thanks to the voluntary exit of two of its housemates, Mcoy Fundales and Ethel Booba. PBB moved a few steps higher to nail the No.6 position with its 28.4 percent rating.

But it's business as usual in the Top 10 positions as the top five slots were occupied by five Kapuso shows while the bottom half were occupied by Kapamilya shows.Here are the Top 10 shows for daytime and primetime programming from November 20 to 22 according to the overnight ratings conducted by AGB Nielsen Philippines among Mega Manila households:
