Whammy! - GMA 7

FremantleMedia, producer of American Idol, now owns the rights of Whammy! In the localized version of this wildly entertaining game show, the contestants compete to spin the big board while trying to avoid the dreaded Whammy which is a naughty little creature that would steal your money when you landed on him. Good fortune and wit are needed to win this game. More than just a game of luck, it also challenges the contestants’ knowledge.

The local version of Whammy! will replace the time slot of the Chinovela Meteor Garden which will end this October 5. The newest game show of GMA 7 will be hosted by Rufa Mae Quinto and Paolo Bediones.
