“It’s Showtime” continues to provide laughter and entertainment as it launched its newest Funanghalian segment “Bata Bata Pick,” featuring the hosts and kids on Tuesday (July 30).
In “Bata Bata Pick,” the designated host will draw a player and an “alay” from the “It’s Showtime” family. The player will then choose his bet from the kids, who will face off in simple challenges. If his chosen kid loses the challenge, the “alay” will receive a ‘FUNishment.’ If the selected kid wins, the “alay” will be safe and a P10,000 cash prize will be given to lucky studio audiences.
In its first episode, Vhong Navarro and Kim won the P10,000 prize and were marked safe from the FUNishment. However, Vice Ganda and MC, the chosen “alay” for their respective rounds, lost and performed their FUNishments, which delighted the madlang people. Vice danced hard until her wig came off, while MC wore Cianne Domiguez’s dress until the show’s end.
The new segment received positive feedback from netizens.
“Ang saya ng bagong segment na ito! Looking forward makita maglaro si Anne Curtis and Darren Espanto soon,” Facebook user Lau Mcrns commented.
“Tuwang tuwa si papa dito kanina. Thank you. Minsan ko lang kasi yun makitang ngumingiti,” TikTok user Blue said.
On the other hand, “EXpecially For You” searcher Althea chose MJ as her match among the three searchees with the help of her ex-boyfriend Arvie.” At the same time, Pierce Matimat of STI College Laguna advanced to the “Tawag Ng Tanghalan” preliminations as he defeated contender Denise Fernandez of Consolacion National High School.
