Far From Neutral Notions - Philippine politics, culture and stuff

I’ve only got to watch this show tonight, and I laughed my huge ass off! I don’t know why everybody’s hating on this show, I think it’s really hilarious. It may just be a franchise of a UK show, but it does really seem to live up to its tagline: serye ng totoong buhay. Pinoy na pinoy ang dating.

First impressions: tingin ko si Franzen ang mananalo; him and Jason and Nene are probably gonna last for a while kase hindi sila confrontational, wala silang nao-offend (based on this one show that I’ve seen) and they appeal to the Pinoy love for the underdog. Franzen’s comments to the disembodied voice that is Big Brother, and his antics, are hella funny.

Uma is so hilariously gay, and I have serious doubts about Sam. Is he Fil-Am? Ba’t parang mahiya-in? Baka bading… LOL. Chx, Say and Cass are very hot. About the only people I haven’t had a connection with are Raquel and Bob; there doesn’t seem to be much of focus on these two. Is ABS-CBN purposefully not showing their scenes? I think so. Typical of mainstream media, since they’re not as attractive or as funny as the others (from what I’ve seen +so far). Programming censorship sucks.

Based on what I can surmise, Raquel seems to have a lot of enemies though. Bob, no clue. But damn, I’m hooked
