Willie Revillame Stops His Show Due To A Cheating Lady Contestant In Wowowin. Cheating is the receiving of a reward for ability or finding on the easy way out of an unpleasant situation by dishonest means. On game shows, cheaters never win. However, they can come pretty close sometimes. The production of a game show is a well-oiled machine. Built into the process are multiple safeguards and security measures to ensure that cheating doesn't occur.
(Why would cheating be so bad? Because with the legitimacy of the show in question, audiences stop watching, and advertisers drop out.) Still, despite preventive measures like searching contestants for notes and isolating the host from the contestants, a few crafty individuals have found a way to beat (or cheat) the system and win big.
Recently, Willie Revillame, a television host, actor and comedian found out that a female contestant tried to cheat on ‘Wowowin,’ a Philippine afternoon variety show presented by him and broadcast by GMA Network. He got disappointed with one of his contestants who seemed to have cheated, either intentionally or unintentionally, during the 1,2,3 Go segment on “Wowowin.”
Willie Revillame was born Wilfredo Buendia Revillame, January 27, 1961, is a Filipino television host, singer-musician, songwriter, businessman, actor, and comedian. Revillame started out as the host of GMA Network's noontime variety program Lunch Date in the early 1980s together with Randy Santiago.
After his hosting stint, he started appearing on different movies playing sidekick to big-named stars. In 1998 he started co-hosting the ABS-CBN noontime show "'Sang Linggo nAPO Sila". After the show was canceled to make way for his big break in Magandang Tanghali Bayan, he also started appearing in Richard Loves Lucy.
Other shows he hosted within the network were "Willingly Yours", Masayang Tanghali Bayan, and Wowowee, as well as TV5 variety programs like Willing Willie, Wil Time Bigtime, and Wowowillie. On March 2015, Revillame marked his homecoming in GMA Network (his original home network),
his long-awaited return to Philippine showbiz and to Philippine television via his newest weekly-variety program Wowowin, airing on GMA Network every Sunday afternoon since May 10, 2015 until it became a weekday-variety program in February 2016 due to the huge popularity of the show.
According to the video shared and posted on the YouTube channel GMA network, a segment from the game show was stopped by Revillame because of the cheating that had happened. Revillame is indeed famous because he was one of those people who got the biggest heart to help those who are in needs and is really generous. And one of the episodes of the show, a rare case happened to which during the segment “1, 2, 3, Go”, no one got the correct answer. So, he just decided to give out prizes to the audience instead. He was supposed to give prizes but upon picking the very first person, he found out that the person has already played in their game earlier.
He asked the staff, “Naglaro na siya, siya na naman?” Then, a staff was quick to respond to his query and answered, “Doon po sa audience sa tent, sinasabi namin na kailangan isa lang po yung fill-up-an. Kasi, kapag nalaman na nagdalawa, madi-disqualify talaga tayo. Maliwanag po yun.” Because of this, Revillame decided to stop the show.
“Itong show na ‘to, binibigay ito sa mahihirap. Iniisip ko ‘to kung papaano kayo sasaya. Iniisip ko ‘to kung papaano kayo magbabagong buhay,” the host has stated.
However, he added, “Ganito na lang gagawin natin, bibigyan ko na lang lahat kayo ng pamasahe.”
Then further explained, “Mawawalan na kayo ng gana, e, na maglaro ngayon kasi may dayaan na. Dayaan ‘yan! Parang pagbumoto ba ako ngayon, boboto ba ako ulit mamaya? Hindi po natin itutuloy kasi ho hindi ko na puwedeng bunutin ‘yan. Baka mayroon pang ibang pangalan diyan [na na-doble], unfair sa inyo. Anyway, hindi po ito para sa amin. Para po sa inyo ito dahil kayo po ang pumipila rito, kayo po ang nagpapa-reserve. Kayo po ang may-ari ng show, dapat proteksiyunan namin kayo.
Kayo ang nag-e-enjoy dito, hindi naman kami, e. Ibig kong sabihin, nag-e-enjoy kami kapag nakikita naming masaya kayo. Yun ang pinaka-premyo para sa amin. Tandaan ninyo, hindi po ako papayag na may maaagrabyado, lalung-lalo na yung mahihirap. Kawawa naman po sila.”
