THE PEOPLE behind “Startalk” has reason to be alarmed. They’re often beaten in the ratings game by their rival, not it’s not “Entertainment Live” of ABS-CBN that rates lower than them. The toprater in their slot is TV5’s “Sabado Sineplex”, full length Hollywood flicks translated into Tagalog. Last Saturday, “Startalk” got 3.7%; “E Live”, a measly 1.8% and “Sabado Sineplex” featuring “Iron Man” got a high 5.2%. It’s good GMA is able to recover in the ratings game with the perennially well loved “Wish Ko Lang”. Their new primetime show, Marian Rivera’s horror-comedy “Spooky Nights Bampirella” is also a winner. It rated 11.4% against “Maalaala Mo Kaya” that got 9.3%.
