Mariel Rodriguez Transfers to TV5

Rumors about Mariel Rodriguez's transfer to TV5 has been going on for the past weeks. Many found it hard to believe especially that Pinoy Big Brother's fourth season is going to start this October. She had been hosting the show since it started with Toni Gonzaga and televiewers have quite grown accustomed to seeing Mariel on the show.

In three separate Ktext messages, though, Mariel Rodriguez confirmed that she is indeed saying goodbye to ABS-CBN but also added that she still considers the Kapamilya network her home.

Cristy Fermin, one of the hosts of TV5's Juicy, said that Mariel will have a grand debut on Willie Revillame's Wil Time Big Time on October 15th. Mariel and Willie have worked together for so many years on ABS-CBN's defunct Wowowee before Willie's controversial transfer to the Kapatid network.

Now that Mariel will be joining Wil Time Big Time, I wonder if it will do better in the ratings game.

Rumors are going around that Pokwang and Valerie Concepcion (both co-hosts on Wowowee) are also expressing their desire to join Wil Time Big Time. Some are saying, though, that it would be impossible because that would be like copying Wowowee per se. But I guess nothing is impossible. That is, if the price is right.
