GMA’s reality game show ‘Catch Me Out Philippines’ made a big comeback Saturday, July 31.
The show, hosted by comedian Jose Manalo, features more fun with even more spectacular performances from the amateurs and sometimes biting commentary after the performances from Celebrity Spotters Derrick Monasterio and Ai Ai Delas Alas.
Following the show’s three-month-long hiatus, Jose said, “Marami po kayong dapat abangan dito sa bagong episodes ng ‘Catch Me Out Philippines.’ Ang mga guest spotters natin ay may ipapakitang mga talent na ikabibigla ng lahat dahil hindi natin aakalain na magagawa nila. ‘Yung mga bago rin nating amateurs, marami rin silang inihandang performances na ikalilito talaga ng viewers.”
Derrick opened up about the great camaraderie he has established with his co-host despite not seeing each other for months, “’Yung personality kasi ni Kuya Jose ‘pag nakita mo siya, parang ang tagal niyo nang magkakilala. Nandoon na agad ‘yung banter so nadadala namin ‘yun on-cam. Nakakapanibago pero ‘yung mga kasama ko naman very professional. Basta may bond ka lang talaga with your co-actors, walang adjustments. Na-miss lang talaga namin ‘yung isa’t isa.”
Last Saturday, international stage performer Mark Bautista joined in the fun as guest Celebrity Spotter. The Celebrity Catchers included some of the GMA’s brightest young stars: Ysabel Ortega, Thea Astley, Jamir Zabarte, Miggy Tolentino, Jennifer Maravilla along with five previous winners of the show.
Two amateurs competed — an accountant slash financial analyst who trained to learn Wushu, and a college student danced on Rollerskates. They performed separately with three professionals in their respective acts. Using a gadget, the 10 Catchers guessed who the amateur was among the performers in each act.
