Will Paolo make a good dad?

CONTROVERSIAL actor Paolo Contis hits the screen once more but this time as a game show host for "My Dad is Better Than Your Dad" which will air on GMA 7.

Paolo blends his comedic but effective personality in this one-of-a-kind game show. This will be the first in Asia, and this originated from the US. This is the brainchild of Mark Burnett, also the producer of famous game shows like "Survivor," "The Apprentice" and "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?"

"Tinawagan nila ako. It's family-oriented and it's a very good show for a Sunday kasi family day. Primetime pa," relates Paolo.

"Every week, iba-iba ang challenges. Mentally challenging nang konti pero more on physical for the kids and the dads. Kaya kailangan, observe namin ang safety first. "

In each episode, four fathers will lead his respective son or daughter through a series of physical and mental challenges and stunts for the opportunity to win prizes. As host, Paolo would like to give his suggestions about how the show chooses its contestants. "Ang sabi ko nga, dapat bawat episode namin 'yung groupings ng mga contestants iba-iba. Dapat, may physical na tatay, meron hindi masyado, para masaya," he recommends.

"May mga sinuggest naman ako, which I hope na matupad pero kasi may sinusunod sila, e. Especially, since first Asian franchise ito ng show for GMA-7 kaya kailangan sundin nila. Medyo strict sila. "

They promoted the show via Paolo's appearance in the show "SOP" and "Showbiz Central. "

The question is: With whom will Paolo be a better dad: Isabel Oli or Lian Paz? Just asking...

WHO'S WRECKING THAT SONG?

SINGING live in shows such as "SOP" and "ASAP" is not that easy. That's why for immediate remedy, shows make their stars do lip synch sessions. But sad to say, some of them can't even follow the lyrics.

Even the hit tandem of Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes, whom we know as the hottest love team today, make mistakes. Imagine, we see Dingdong not opening his mouth and yet, we hear his voice in the background.

Why is this so? Is this a case of pressure for some or just mere neglect? Prestige is the thing in this business. But you can't have it if you can't earn it.

This is the thing for PJ Valerio and Julie Ann San Jose in their previous appearance in SOP. Having been there for a month now as a singing love team, they click well. Positive comments from fans in the website www. youtube. com never stops.

From previous love songs, they performed "Umbrella, Cinderella" recently. Though the two did not get the lyrics perfectly, their aura and chemistry were there. Effortlessly, they are able to make their tandem click every time we see them on the show.

Perfect as their love team may be there's no excuse for them to make mistakes because they haven't proven anything yet.

Is this really just the factor even for big stars?

But this is reality. Pity for those who work hard but don't get noticed.

Does it really matter? Just asking...
