1 Vs. 100

Whoa! Finally! Despite a hundred and one challenges, we're finally giving birth to ABS-CBN's newest and probably most expensive and most-difficult-to-mount-quiz show TONIGHT, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Though post-production is still ongoing, I'd like to believe that the storm is over.

As soon as the music faded when we taped the last body of the pilot episode, I screamed my heart out in relief before a hundred players and audience on the set. They would never understand why because they knew nothing about what we've been through.

Just before the actual taping last night, as in the previous days, the computers, electronic gadgets and electrical wirings weren't working well, not to mention the other major problem I'd rather not discuss here. More than 200 would-be players, including celebrities, on standby waiting for their cue, getting impatient but being properly briefed; the other hundred or more we used for the dryrun earlier still cueing in line to get out of the studio. In the middle of all these were 2 strict Endemol guys getting pissed, even heard one screaming in the control booth. They were just as nervous as the entire production staff.

BUT HURRAH, WE MADE IT! When the tapes started rolling, everything went on smoothly; everyone did his job well. "The one" Aiai Delas Alas was perfect for a player, the 100 members of the MOB were perfectly cooperative, which resulted to a great game!

And what better way to end it than with a prayer where most cried in gratitude. We felt GOD's HANDS WORKING and He indeed never failed us.

I commend every single person in the team! Great job! And yes...we also thank Jarno from Endemol-Holland and Mike who's based in Bangkok for the challenge...even though our stress levels went up to the highest levels because of them. We learned so much from you! Cutie Jarno, TP and i will miss u!:)

So guys don't dare miss 1 Vs. 100...tonight and every Saturdays at 7:30 pm. Hope you'll like the show and appreciate the hardwork and efforts we've put into it. Spread the word so more people can join and be either the "1" or among the "100"!

Great show! I was one of the 100 mob players during the pilot episode. All those hours of waiting was worth it once we walked into Studio 2 and saw the set for the 1st time! What made it better for me was the fact that I was surrounded by the 26k! (I was player #28)

For me, the most memorable moment was Ms. Alu's (?) prayer after the taping. It basically summed up all the hardships and rewards that everybody had to go through to get this show running. Even some of the mob players were teary-eyed during this time.

Again, thanks for letting me be a part of this great game. Even if I don't get to play again (due to conflicts w/ work) I'll always watch it every Saturday.

PS: The icing for me was seeing Chairman Edu do the "Papaya" LIVE!

Thanks.
