Hi Filipino mylotters! I have always prefer Survivor Philippines over Pinoy big brother. But this year, I enjoy watching Big brother more. Maybe it is because Survivor is too stressful to watch this year. The castaways are always fighting. This year, Pinoy big brother has two houses which competes with each other. There are a lot of housemates which are funny. What are your thoughts?

the castaways of survivor season 2 are not sport. they get mad when they are voted off. in pbb, they have fun w/ each other. unlike in survivor they are just fighting and cheating others to stay in the game. . have a good day :D

Thanks for the response. I guess the castaways for this season are more aggressive and have stronger personalities with the castaways from the previous season. There are a lot more fighting, shouting and backstabbing this season. And like you said, they would do anything to stay in the game

When it comes to entertainment you have to go with Pinoy Big Brother but when it comes to gamemanship i have to say Survivor Philippines is better. They have better quality games or challenges compared to PBB. PBB learns from survivor that people want to see games, we dont wanna see love teams in reality TV. Thats why i think PBB lessen the love teams stuff and focus more on giving challenges to the housemates and thats the reason why people watch them unlike before.

Well said. I agree with you that only a few people enjoy watching love teams in a reality TV. I think people are paying a lot more attention now to Pinoy Big brothe now because of the competition between the houses. Though watching survivor this year is a lot more stressful than the last year. They are playing dirtier than the previous outcast. Thanks for the response

You have to play dirty when you are playing survivor cause if not, your @ss will be on the chopping block. I have to disagree but i enjoy watching this season compared to the first one. Most of the castaways play the game better compared to the first season maybe because they learn from it. Although there is still some people who only wants exposure than actually paying and winning the game but other than that this is the best season so far.

Yeah I agree with you there. Before, I used to enjoy Survivor and watched several episodes of the game but after the lauching of PBB double up I thought it was a bit boring but then as it went on it became interesting already especially when there was a foreign visitors I totally forgot the survivor and had only known recently that it was already fnished. I was not able to follow the story anymore because PBB had taken my attention.

I do feel the same. I used to prefer Survivor over PBB before because I have always thought that the results are manipulated. It is a good move for PBB have two houses. Thanks for the response

if i am to choose between pinoy big brother and the survivor philippines, i would choose PBB. I hate seeing people making friends with each other and at the back, they hate others and planning to vote out others. i much prefer the secret voting at pbb, where they don't have to talk about it, before or even after the voting time.

I guess that is the difference between the PBB and surivior. In survivor, they are allowed to talk to each other on who to vote off. Betrayal is common with survivor. In PBB, they do not know who voted them off. But at least there is no doubt regarding vote manipulation in survivor. Thanks for the response.

Honestly I never watch Survivor Philippines because it is too late and I can't stay that late only to watch it. I can catch Pinoy Big Brother every afternoon that's why I'm also watching it while waiting the next show in Channel 2. I enjoy watching Melissa In Pinoy Big Brother she is very funny it reminds me of Patani in Survivor Philippines they have similarity.

I do agree that Melai is one of the reasons why Pinoy Big brother is nice to watch. Thanks for the response.

I have always been a Kapamilya viewwer. Though I try to view some shows of GMA to make a fair comparison. I did watch the first season of Survivor, missed a few episodes here and there. I didn't like it so much as much as I liked the original Survivor. I didn't like Paolo and how he handles the tribal council. I'm sure his fans would have a lot to say, but hey it's my opinion. So for this second season, I didn't waste my viewing time with it. I could say that I am a PBB fan, from the first season to the succeeding ones but not all seasons were great I admit. My first impression of the housemates, I thought it was gonna be another letdown but I was proven wrong with each episode, the housemates got more interesting and the competition between the two houses definitely gave the ratings a boost.

This year, I prefer Survivor Philippines than Pinoy Big Brother because I think all the house mates in the PBB house just want to join showbiz unlike in Survivor Philippines where they are really there to compete for the millions and strategy is a key factor unlike in PBB which is really more of a popularity contest. I would have to admit though that Melai and Rica are entertaining.

This is the first PBB that i followed since I'm not really a fan of reality shows. But the current PBB show catch my attention because it's more interesting especially with Melissa who is so funny and so natural about it. I thought she was just acting at first but as weeks went by she's been a consistent clown in the group and its just fun to watch her antics on TV. Cheers!
