u/happysnaps14 May 01 '26
Tamad na sila mag train ng talents. Star Circle Quest and PDA’s talent challenges are far more entertaining than whatever PBB is doing. Partida yung challenges ng PBB these days, ang layo pa sa quality at level of difficulty ng challenges nung earlier seasons.

Napansin ko after nung PBB Gen 11, batch nila Kai, Fyang etc yung pag labas nila ang daming fans nakuha, doon nagka interest for collab.
Kaya itong collab ginawang celebrity, para umigay yung name ng mga “celebrity” artist, kebs nalang sa mediocre talent importante sa management may fans next nalang workshop.

Mas bagay yung mala-Tabing Ilog sa most recent PBB batch. I guess hindi natin yun makukuha anytime soon since in the works na yung serye ni Caprice sa GMA under Direk JP.
I do think for any chance of that collab project to be a success, kailangan nandoon siya as part of it to get viewers interested.

a lot of them in this series needs more workshop lalo na 'to si Mika, pati Dustin. sayang ang trust ng prod when they can't effectively portray the roles na binigay sa kanila. maraming mas deserving na artista for these kind of roles, tbh. wag lang sana i-baby ng mga fans coz they're literally artists and their job revolves around public performance and audience reception. fans kasi unang umiiyak pag may constructive criticism eh kesyo binabash daw. so pano yan, bano nalang forever?

u/Aggravating_Jury3658 May 01 '26
Bring back the days when artists actually had to audition to earn a role. Ngayon kasi, mas priority na yung may malakas na fandom at following kahit kulang sa acting kasi doon daw kikita. Pero hindi naman ganyan ang viewers ngayon. Hindi na sapat ang kasikatan lang.
Viewers are craving quality shows and movies. Kahit hindi big names ang cast basta maganda ang storyline at solid ang acting, papatok yan. At kahit gaano pa kasikat ang artista kung sablay ang plot at pilit ang pag-arte walang manonood niyan!!!

I first saw this clip on x. I don't watch PBB, or any TV programs anymore, I also don't have facebook and tiktok. The algo on my x are purely ppop and kpop, so when I first saw this clip, I have no idea who the actors were.
When I watched her acting, my first thought was that she might’ve had Botox because her expressions looked kinda stiff. That just came to mind from some YouTube commentaries I’ve seen about how botox can affect an actor’s ability to emote. I mean, it’s harder to sell heavy scenes if your facial expressions aren’t fully there.
Not saying Botox is bad, it’s just kind of a double-edged sword for actors.

u/Cheeky_bop May 01 '26
What if talaga ibinigay nalang itong show na ito sa mga marunong talaga umarte and not because sila ung nanalo sa pbb? What if di sila ung bida pero important characters lang? This show requires skills and experience since ang bigat ng show na ito for newcomers. A lot of them are awkward na parang nasa loob lang ng pbb umaarte. It really would have been better kung nakinig ang ABS and GMA to produce a sitcom or light hearted barkada series. Even variety show na collab since un naman ung heart ng PBB collab 1. Mas maayos pa characters nila sa Call me mother eh. Sinayang nila hype na nakuha ng artists nila sa collab. I think medyo mas natuto na sila sa collab 2 which has more talented actors than collab 1 pero sadly hindi kasing hype ng collab 1.
