Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus stirred the primetime race a little bit during the last few days of the ABS-CBN reality show. The two-week old My Girl, on the other hand, seems to have lost its steam immediately as its ratings dropped considerably.

Smallville is in it's seventh season, and has become even more fun to watch since 'Supergirl' entered the story. Lex Luther just found out that the new blond girl, who's Clark's 'cousin', has special powers.

PBB Teen Edition Plus placed fifth overall Tuesday (June 3) with 26.6 percent and Thursday (June 5) with 24.8 percent. On Wednesday, June 4, it managed to grab the fourth spot from perennial fourth placer 24 Oras. PBB got 28.1 percent while 24 Oras received 28 percent.

Tomorrow night, June 6, it will finally be revealed who among Beauty, Ejay, Nicole, and Robi would be the Big Winner in a live presentation at the Araneta Coliseum.

Meanwhile, after an impressive debut, My Girl dropped to No. 6 last Tuesday (23.6 percent), No. 8 Wednesday (23.2 percent), and No. 7 Thursday (20.9 percent—its lowest rating so far).

Dyesebel is still the undisputed No. 1 primetime program while also maintaining a 40-plus rating this week.

Joaquin Bordado and Babangon Ako’t Dudurugin Kita also maintained their standing as the second and third most-watched primetime shows.

Lobo, on the other hand, improved its status as it consistently held on to the No. 6 position; along with Pinoy Idol Extra at No. 9.

Gaby Spanic's Cancer & New Baby

La Usurpadora starring Gabriela Spanic was a massive hit in the Philippines, so much so it was shown a total of three times, the first time on RPN, and twice consecutively as 'Paulina' on GMA7.
Download FREE Gabriela Spanic La Usurpadora Wallpaper Gaby even visited the Philippines in 2000, performed a concert, & was flirted with by Robin Padilla. And in a grand encore, the worldwide hit TV show is being re-aired and coming back to television tomorrow.

Opening Credits - 'Paulina' La Usurpadora
Many people say that 'La Usurpadora' was the basis for the GMA7 program 'Impostora' because of it's many similarities.

'Mi Prima Ciela' is moving to 9:30 am, and the first chapter of 'La Usurpadora' will be premiering tomorrow at 5pm on Telefutura USA. It was gonna be aired at 7 am, but the network people knew how huge of a worldwide hit this novela was and decided to move 'Mi Prima Ciela' to the morning just to make room for La Usurpadora to air at the coveted early evening 5pm timeslot when they know a lot of people will be watching. Telefutura is available nationwide in the USA under Time Warner Cable, which means it basically covers the entire country since practically everyone in the United States is subscribed to Time Warner Cable, on Ch. 26, and via antenna on Ch. 46 in L.A.

I know a lot of Filipinos loved this show back home in the Philippines, and many were begging 'Telenovelas Filipinas' for the chance to watch it again, well here's your chance if you live in the US. You don't need to order any special channels, because of course, the US-based Spanish language channels Univision, Telemundo, Telefutura, and Galavision, come as part of every standard cable package in the USA, and are also available nationwide via antenna Ch. 34 Univision, Ch. 52 Telemundo, Ch. 46 Telefutura in Los Angeles. Subtitles and closed captioning available on CC1.

Isn't it amazing how some TV shows are timeless and span the test of time? You can watch it years later, and it's still just as good, and people still clamor to watch it and have memories of it years later.

Here's the schedule for Telefutura weekdays starting tomorrow:
6:00 El Derecho de Nacer starring Kate del Castillo and Saul Lisazo
7:00 Morning News
8:00 Cañaveral de Pasiones starring Angelica Aragon and Juan Soler
9:00 Infieles Anonimos (Venezuelan)
9:30 Mi Prima Ciela (Venezuelan)
10:00 Mujer de Madera starring Jaime Camil and Gabriel Soto
4pm Por Un Beso starring Victor Noriega and Natalia Esperon
5pm La Usurpadora starring Gabriela Spanic and Fernando Colunga
6pm La Marca del Deseo starring Alfonso Baptista of Pasion de Amor

Then, you can catch Gaby again at 11 am every weekday as the mother of a gay son trying to find love again in 'Tierra de Pasiones' on NBC-Telemundo with English subtitles on CC3 like all of NBC-Telemundo's programs. It's only on it's 25th chapter, so you really haven't missed anything.

NBC-Telemundo Weekday Schedule:
9am Amantes del Desierto starring Francisco Gattorno
10am El Alma Herida starring Itati Cantoral from Maria La del Barrio
11am Tierra de Pasiones starring Gabriela Spanic and Saul Lisazo

Gaby Spanic talks about her cancer diagnosis, and her new baby


Jon Avila stars in Philippine Remake of Pasion de Amor

TV Ratings April 21-24: 'El Cuerpo del Deseo'

Kamandag starring Richard Gutierrez retains #1 lead in TV ratings as the show comes to an end in it's last week. Some say that telenovelas are no longer popular in the Philippines and that Asianovelas have replaced them, but the Nielsen ratings say the complete opposite as El Cuerpo del Deseo maintains it's lead as the country's highest rating non-Filipino daytime series, as well as ABS-CBN's highest rating daytime series getting higher ratings than the asianovela Hana Kimi, which hasn't even entered the Top 10 yet, Princesa ng Banyera, Da Big Show, Sis, & Boy and Kris.
Mario Cimarro won the FAMAS Award in the US for Best Actor for his role in 'El Cuerpo del Deseo.' A lot of Philippine newspapers describe him as a 'Mexican actor', but he's actually Cuban, like Ricky Ricardo, hehe. Full TV ratings after the jump.
