TV | Is the AlDub craze losing steam? Kantar ratings show It's Showtime slowly beating Eat Bulaga! in January 2016.

Kantar Media has recently released data of its national TV ratings coverage. In the images below, national TV ratings for January 11 and 12 show that ABS-CBN's It's Showtime has edged out GMA's crown jewel program Eat Bulaga! after a surprise ratings boost from the unexpected formation of the AlDub love team featuring Alden Richards and Yaya Dub (Maine Mendoza in real life) has caused  a ratings drag on the Kapamilya side.

January 11 was the first time It's Showtime successfully won more viewers vs Eat Bulaga! since the creation of the popular segment "KalyeSerye."

On January 12, It's Showtime beat Eat Bulaga! by a meager 0.1%. A day before, on January 11, the former had a 0.3% gap over Eat Bulaga! in the Urban+Rural category.

It can be recalled that Eat Bulaga! obtained a record 40.1% rating, out. Since the start of the year, the ratings gap between It's Showtime and Eat Bulaga! thinned. 

Did the entry of Mariel Rodriguez, Amy Perez, and Hashtag help in bringing the gap to a narrow close? Will the classic sub-program "Tawag ng Tanghalan" of It's Showtime take it to a ratings leap?
Is the AlDub phenomenon losing steam? Air out your opinion below.

Meanwhile, here is AGB Nielsen TV ratings for Eat Bulaga! and It's Showtime last January 11.

Pastillas Girl  could be one upcoming predator (este competitor) to reigning noontime #AlDub half Maine Mendoza aka Yaya Dub. Yesterday, #PastillasGirl arrived on It's Showtime looking for her a prospect lover. Guy netizens then tweeted back, one of which caught the people's attention - @ohhJESSko (Jess Verano Senido), who apparently was invited to fly to Manila to meet Pastillas Girl. This TwitterSerye might just bring in a tough contender to the #AlDub love team.

What will happen next? Will this drive viewers crazy, cause them to jump ship for It's Showtime, and lead to a more balanced TV ratings? We'll watch out for this. At the moment, here's Pastillas Girl sharing her recipe on how to make yema with bitterness.

Paano daw gumawa ng Yema!

Hahaha turuan kayo ulit ni Pastillas Girl!#jm88
