Willing Willie

With the data above, Willie Revillame’s new show Willing Willie still never make it on top contrary to what the show is expected to gain due to the popularity of Mr. Willie Revillame. But in fairness the new show got not so bad ratings on it premier telecast which is still a good thing to reckon with and Willie’s magic is still working despite he change channel and all the controversies surrounding him. Good luck to him if in the next TV ratings his new show already enters the top five.

So far his new show Willing Willie is still a good watch despite of the vestiges of course of his former show Wowowee. It feels that Willing Willie is just a reformatted Wowowee with new people around except only Willie and the contestants of the shows pouring out their hearts out, as it was usually seen on Wowowee show.

His show Willing Willie is fortunately aired on its premier telecast despite of the TRO or temporary restraining order filed by ABS-CBN channel 2 to stop airing the new show before everything is already settled. Truly Mr. Wowowee Willie himself is still one of the influential celebrities in the Philippines.
