TV5’s unwavering effort to penetrate the ratings game finally pays off. Reality show Talentadong Pinoy, hosted by Kapamilya star Ryan Agoncillo, once again overtook all ABS-CBN and GMA7 shows as it reached the top of the most watched list last weekend, based on the figures released by AGB-Nielsen Media Research. Talentadong Pinoy registered 30.3%, a remarkable number in TV5 standards, putting the network back on the map of top-rating networks.

Talentadong Pinoy murdered two giant TV programs — Maalaala Mo Kaya and Bitoy’s Funiest Videos, which posted 15.2% and 21.4% respectively.

Other highlights last Saturday include:

• Agimat: Ang Mga Alamat Ni Ramon Revilla – Tiagong Akyat (ABS-CBN) posted a very modest rating, 17.9%, a bit behind Pinoy Records (GMA-7)  with 18.6% and Are You The Next Big Star? (GMA-7) with 18.1%;
• Banana Split scored one more time. The gag show which is now on its fourth season garnered 15.2%;
• Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (GMA-7) killed all the luster off of Vilma: A Woman For All Seasons (ABS-CBN). The magazine show posted 19.2% defeating the documentary special which only managed to hit 16.2%;

The Sunday list tells a different story albeit less action-packed. The Kapuso network almost swept the evening lineup with ABS-CBN’s Sunday’s Best getting in the way.

Rewind to Friday, Tayong Dalawa finally bends to GMA7. Tayong Dalawa scored 26.3%, way below its average rating in Mega Manila. Rivals Adik Sa ‘Yo and Rosalinda posted 28.8% and 30.1% respectively.
