It seemed Kapuso drama adaptation Start-Up PH continues to struggle in the rating game.
While it is expected to win the timeslot race given the un-balanced TV landscape, Start-Up PH’s rating is unexpectedly low compared to its pre-program Maria Clara at Ibarra.
Based on the most recent rating report by the Nielsen Philippines NUTAM People’s survey, Start-Up PH struggling with a single-digit rating score.
On Monday, October 10, Start-Up PH scored 9.4% beating 2 Good To Be True by 5.1% at 4.3%.
On the following day, Tuesday, October 11, the Alden Richards-Bea Alonzo starrer series’ rating dropped down to 8.2%, its lowest since its pilot on September 26.
Start-Up PH failed to capitalize on the good ratings and attention its pre-program Maria Clara at Ibarra has set.
Maria Clara at Ibarra, since its pilot has sustained its double-digit good ratings at an average of 15%.
Usually, when a pre-program is strong, the next program will benefit and will pull it up also.
However, that’s not the case with Start-Up PH as it still struggled to score a double-digit rating score.
Could, Lolit Solis’s observation that Bea Alonzo is causing the lukewarm reception of the series to be true?
Following the series’ pilot, Solis made a scathing Instagram post blaming Alonzo as the reason for the underwhelming response from the televiewers.
“Sayang naman Salve ang Start Up PH. Hindi daw masyado tinanggap ang kapareha ni Alden Richards dahil mukhang mas matanda sa kanya.
“Mukhang tita Bea si Bea Alonzo kaya mas maganda pang si Yasmien Kurdi na lang sana ang nilagay sa role niya na kitang kita mo na talagang mukhang haggard na si Bea Alonzo,” said Lolit.
“Sayang iyon Start Up PH kasi ang ganda sana ng project, bagay na bagay kay Alden Richards na ang guwapo at fresh na fresh tignan. Siguro kundi si Bea Alonzo ang kasama ni Alden, baka bonggang bongga sana ang resulta ng Start Up PH. Baka mas mataas rating at lalong dadami everyday dahil maganda ang pagkakagawa.”
