Author Recently, it was announced by GMA News Online that Willie Revillame cut one of “Wowowin’s” game segments short after he discovered that an audience member cheated.
According to the report, the host noticed that during the “1-2-3 Go!” game segment, an audience member placed her name in the game box twice in order to increase her chances of being picked. A short video clip of this cheating incident was uploaded to the official YouTube channel of GMA Network.
The “1-2-3 Go!” segment is played every Tuesday and Thursday. 50 members from the audience are selected during the raffle draw before the game begins. Gamemasters will then ask them multiple choice questions. To choose an answer, they line up behind the number that corresponds to their choice.
Participants who choose any of the two wrong answers are immediately eliminated from the game. The last person who remains until in the final question takes home a grand total of ₱10,000 as the cash prize, along with a jacket and gift packs from the show’s sponsors.
What happens when nobody reaches the final round of questions? Willie chooses a fresh batch of contestants from a box that contains names of random audience members. Now, this is how the cheating incident was revealed.
