Join the side-splitting duo of Michael V. and Ogie Alcasid as they lead the fun and excitement with the game show’s new set of team players who will twist and turn their bodies to fit through the oddly-shaped holes cut from gigantic walls.

This Saturday (October 2), Michael V. as Bruhaler and Ogie as Prinsipepe bring non-stop fun and surprises to the celebrity team players. It’s going to be a tough match between the Blue Team of Gene Padilla, Kris Bernal and Ryza Cenon against the Red Team of Marvin “Tado” Jimenez, Gwen Zamora and Rich Asuncion.

Whose team will face the Jackpot Wall and bring home the jackpot prize? Whose bodies will plunge straight to the pool at the end of the game?

Catch HOLE IN THE WALL on its new timeslot every Saturday, October 2 at 10:30am on GMA.

‘Hole in the Wall’ Moves to a New Timeslot originally appeared on Starmometer on September 30, 2010.

Get ready for another season of body-bending and mind-twisting entertainment as GMA Network brings anew the most addictive and widely popular segment-turned-worldwide craze, “Hole In The Wall.”

The TV phenomenon from Japan returns on GMA Telebabad with lots of twists and surprises including big cash prizes, outrageous wall and hole designs and an interactive playing area that would take your viewing experience to a new level.

Hole in the Wall is hosted once again by multi-awarded comedians Michael V. and Ogie Alcasid as they assume new and different characters every week.

Viewers should look forward these comedic portrayals of the duo, which will literally have you out of your seats rolling with laughter.

Two teams with three players each must face various walls speeding towards them with crazy-shaped holes. If they fail to fit through the holes, they are knocked back by the wall into a pool of water.

A celebrity team captain will join the players every week and will be the third player of the group.

The team who accumulates the most points in three rounds advances to the “Jackpot Wall,” where they may win as much as P100,000.

However, a different set of “Jackpot Walls” will be used this season, which includes the “Distraction Wall,” “Disco Wall,” “Houdini Wall,” “Dressed-up Wall,” “Dizzy Wall,” and an audience participation wall, where the team will get another player from the audience to play with them or for them.

“Hole In The Wall” became a huge hit around the country for its comedic appeal with viewers of all ages. It also turned out to be one of GMA’s well-loved game shows, which raked in high TV ratings in its timeslot.

Starting July 5, get ready to make a splash in “Hole In The Wall,” right before “Langit sa Piling Mo” on GMA-7.

‘Hole in the Wall’ Returns on GMA this Monday originally appeared on Starmometer on July 4, 2010.

The new game show trumped its rival Pinoy Bingo Night and matched the ratings of May Bukas Pa and TV Patrol World. Its fifth place position is considered very strong for a pre-primetime slot.

And as expected, the boxing special entitled Flash and the Furious on GMA topped the daytime race last Sunday. The back-to-back fights of Filipino boxers Brian Villoria and Nonito Donaire against Mexican-Americans Ulises Solis and Raul Martinez registered 32.3 percent. SOP received some boost from the boxing event to place at no. 2.
