‘Wil To Win’ host Willie Revillame publicly expressed his frustration with the show’s staff during a live broadcast, just days after its premiere.
He lamented that he often has to step in to ensure tasks are completed correctly.
On Thursday, July 18, Revillame addressed several mistakes during the live show. These included a disc jockey error in the opening segment, a floor director walking in front of the camera, and delays in providing materials for a segment.
“Naiintindihan niyo ba ako kung bakit ako nagagalit? ‘Yan po ang problema ‘pag hindi alam ang ginagawa sa show. Ako lahat ang nananagot,” Revillame stated. “Tapos sasabihin niyo mayabang na naman, bina-bash niyo ako—kasi pinapaganda ko ang programa.”
He continued, “Nire-rehearse namin ito ha. Pag ni-rehearse, nagkakamali pa rin kami—bakit?… Gusto ko lang ipaliwanag kasi ako ang nagiging kawawa, arogante at mayabang sa show na ito. Maawa kayo sa akin. Lahat ako ang nag-iisip para sa inyo.”
Due to these delays, Revillame decided to cut a segment, announcing a meeting with the staff after the show.
“Diyos ko, aatakihin ako sa inyo dito… Napakaswerte ko ngayong araw na ito. Bukas naka-dextrose ako,” he sarcastically remarked.
“Maawa kayo sa akin. Nahihirapan na ako sa show na ‘to. Ako lahat,” he said. “Tapos ako ang naba-bash ‘pag nagagalit ako sa ere.”
Earlier, Revillame and ‘Wil To Win’ also made headlines after he seemingly criticized competitor shows. He emphasized the originality of his program, stating, “Ang importante ang show na ‘to ay original. Inisip ‘to para sa inyo. Hindi ‘to binibili sa ibang bansa,” likely referencing Dingdong Dantes’ ‘Family Feud,’ which is based on the American television show.
These comments followed the release of NUTAM People Ratings (Nielsen Phils TAM) on July 15, showing ‘Family Feud’ with a 9.6% rating, compared to ‘Wil To Win’s’ 2.7%. Despite this, TV5 highlighted that ‘Wil To Win’ had the highest rating performance for its 5:00 to 6:30 PM block in 2024.
