these are very nice inputs my friend. but i think it's a common genre for variety shows these days. you can also watch eat bulaga, you can also see how they mocked and ridiculed their contestants that appeared to be a joke in disguise. some sensitive people look it the same way you perceived it. others look it otherwise and others find it amusing. try to watch the 2 shows and compare who's the bulliest of them all, willie revillame's show wowowee or tito, vic and joey's eat bulaga. what i believe though is what they are doing is within the bounds of MTCRB rules since I heard several times that the hosts are reprimanded or even suspended when they were found to be out of limits already during the airing of the show and i am certain the producers are also looking at it. they should know that most of us filipinos are ultra sensitive when it comes to morality.
im not used to seeing these shows since im at work when it's shown on tv. i can't recall how many times i've seen the 2 shows and i also noticed that behaviour. im just relying on the narrations from some people. even my wife doesn't like willie at the same time he doesn't like joey. you and wife have the same sentiments regarding willie's and joey's demeanor on tv.
I watch Eat Bulaga almost every day and I oppose what you said about EB's mockery against their contestants. Tito, Vic, Joey along with other hosts treat their contestants well enough and I can see the respect they bestow upon them. I am not biased I like wowowee because it gives poor people the chance to shine in the limelight even for just a little time. Their talents are shown and shared for the whole world to see and as a televiewer, I am amused and entertained to say the least.
