Definitely expect the unexpected in the country’s number one talent-reality show “Pilipinas Got Talent” as tension and surprises filled its first results night for the season. After the overnight voting, breakdancing group Freestylers led nationwide votes that automatically gave them the first grand finalist slot.
Judges, on the other hand, must choose whom between Rico the Magician and the Madrigal Siblings, who ranked 2nd and 3rd place in text votes, will also make it to the grand finals. Kris Aquino and Ai Ai Delas Alas obviously succumbed to the pressure brought about by the tough choice they have to make as both judges suddenly burst in tears upon giving their comments. In the end, the Madrigal Siblings made the cut. The two acts will now advance on the grand final alongside other grand finalists to be named in the coming weeks. PGT continues to be the country’s number one reality-talent show. Last Saturday, PGT scored a national TV rating of 27.5% versus rival shows “Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho” (16.5%) and “Talentadong Pinoy” (6.2%). It also ruled last Sunday when the show rated at 22.4% nationally versus “Show Me Da Manny” (10.2%), according to Kantar Media/TNS.
