'Minute to Win It' Pilot Wins Big in National TV Ratings

The pilot episode of ABS-CBN’s newest game show “Minute to Win It” reigned on its timeslot in nationwide TV ratings and entered the top 20 most watched programs last Monday (Jan 14). 

Based on data from Kantar Media, it registered a national TV rating of 21% vs “Knock Out” (9%) and “Chef Boy Logro: Kusina Master” (6.4%) of GMA, and even captured the 7th slot in the top 20 programs across urban and rural homes. 

Viewers can start practicing at home following the introductory blueprints of some of the show’s seemingly easy challenges using ordinary materials like eggs, pencils, ping pong balls, and tissue. 

This week, watch out for the nail-biting games of Kapamilya celebrities playing the game Maja Salvador, Martin Nievera, Zanjoe Marudo, K Brosas, Melai Cantiveros, and Miss Universe 2011 3rd runner-up Shamcey Supsup.

Minute To Win It Premieres January 14 on ABS-CBN Prime-Tanghali

You don’t need special talents or extraordinary intelligence but only a certain level of skill to win P1 million in ABS-CBN’s new game show “Minute to Win It” that begins on Monday (Jan 14), 11 AM on ABS-CBN.

The show will give a whole new meaning to the adage “time is gold” where no effort is too small and every fraction of a second counts. It also encourages players to work hard and practice at home using everyday materials such as pencils, eggs, ping pong balls, and cards for a shot to change their lives.

Studio players only need to complete ten challenges, each under one minute, to bring home the whopping P1 million cash prize.

Host Luis Manzano is excited for his new role in the show to encourage players who are under a lot of pressure.

“The biggest challenge is backing up the player. I’ll stand by the player as much as possible. Sometimes players lose the heart to continue so I have to look for ways to build up their confidence to make them get on with the game and earn more money,” he said.

He also added, “In ‘Deal or No Deal,’ I try to be neutral between the Banker and the player. In ‘Pilipinas Got Talent,’ I serve as the contestant’s kabarkada. In ‘Minute to Win It,’ I’m a cheerer.”

Playing in the game show’s pilot episode is comedy concert queen AiAi delas Alas. Some of the games she will have to complete include running a piece of thread through the eyes of ten needles using one hand and knocking over four soda cans using a yo-yo strapped to the back of her waist. Will AiAi bring home P1 million?

Also trying out the show’s nerve-wracking yet simple games during the pilot week are Kapamilya celebrities Cristine Reyes, Rico J. Puno, Maja Salvador, Zanjoe Marudo, K Brosas, and Miss Universe 2011 3rd runner-up Shamcey Supsup.

“Minute to Win It” made waves in the United States and around the world for its highly addictive and nerve-wracking games that challenge ordinary people to hone their skills. It has been franchised in 40 countries, including Australia, India, and the United Kingdom.

Don’t miss “Minute to Win It,” Mondays to Fridays beginning January 14, 11AM on ABS-CBN. For updates on the program, visit www.facebook.com/minutetowinitPH.
