Brace yourselves for the newest game show to hit Kapuso shores, Picture! Picture!. Hosted by the witty and talented Ryan Agoncillo, it will surely be an entertaining and enjoyable learning experience for contestants and viewers alike.

Picture! Picture! will definitely make viewers hold on to their seats as the game plays out.

A team of four players will be helping each other in answering questions about the pictures that would be uploaded on the screen. Each round has 3 Photo Questions, and the price value appreciates after every question.

At the end of each round, there will be a Kickout Question. The first team member to correctly answer the question would have the power to eliminate a team member of his or her choice.

In the final round, the lucky team member who could answer the Kickout Question correctly will get to answer the Final Question worth half a million pesos.

Are you ready for Picture! Picture!? Host Ryan Agoncillo is absolutely ready, but he admits that he still gets the jitters.

“Siyempre, as with all things new, may adjustment period, pero I’m happy that the team that I’m part of is really the team that has got it down to a science. Kumbaga, kung may mangangapa, sabay-sabay kaming mangangapa. The team of Direk Rico Gutierrez worked really hard,” states Ryan.

The TV host extraordinaire adds, “You know, there are technical difficulties here and there, pero siyempre, lahat naman ng show may ganyan. We are very proud of the fact that this is not a franchise show. What we are doing is very original. If you have experienced making food from scratch, mayroong tikim, may testing, and nandoon tayo sa phase na iyon.”

Making the game show more exciting is the participation of celebrity guests. Bubbly contestants are fun to watch. Would it be a problem if guests are not as lively or energetic as expect?

“We’ve had bubbly guests, pero we’ve also had moments na hindi na lang sa personalidad nakasalalay [ang show]. I think that’s where the brilliance of the show lies,” states Ryan.

He explains, “Halimbawa, may picture ka na alam mo kung saan ‘yang lugar na iyan. Hindi mo lang masabi. Or kunwari, alam mo iyong picture, pero iba ‘yung tanong. That’s what makes it interesting. Minsan, masaya rin ‘yung nag-iisip. So far, that’s what I love about the show. Dun ako bilib sa konsepto ng Picture! Picture! because it really elicits a reaction.”

Interestingly, Picture! Picture! would be airing at the same time as the game show hosted by Ryan’s wife, actress Judy Ann Santos. Is this an issue for the celebrity couple?

Ryan replies, “When we spoke about it, it wasn’t even an issue. Kung magkatapat man ‘yung harap or ‘yung dulo ng show, for us, klaro naman ‘yung tension sa amin. We work for our family and for our audience. It might be a unique proposition also.”

Catch Picture! Picture! every Saturday, 6 p.m. on GMA, starting on November 23. - Text by Samantha Portillo, Photo by Bochic Estrada, GMANetwork.com
