Gameplay and Segments

Ikaw ang Bigtime!

In this segment of the show, the audience is prepared to dance to one of Willie Revillame's hit songs. This opening song number is the theme tune for the choosing of the ten random audience members, the audience is warmed up for the public displays of talent, where Owen Ercia, April Gustillo and Lovely Abella will draw from the audience from different sections of the studio to dance the song in an entertaining way. The 10 chosen audience will play for 123 Go! together with the 40 pre-drawn contestants.

123 Go!

In the 123 Go! segment, 50 studio audience contestants (40 pre-drawn participants and 10 chosen "Bigtime" participants) will have the opportunity to respond to the trivia questions answerable by 1, 2 or 3. Players will fall in line to the number of their choice. Those who chose the wrong number will be out in the game, and those who chose the right number will proceed to the next question. The game will continue until one player will be declared as the winner, and he/she will advance on to the jackpot round. All contestants shall automatically receive gift packs from their current sponsors.

Shoot mo Baby!

This is the jackpot round of 123 Go! The mechanics were not much different from the game as played in a perya. In the center was a raised platform where many plastic tubes stood tightly beside each other. These plastic tubes came with a corresponding amount. The center tube is the jackpot. The contestant was then made to stand behind a movable fence and given plastic bangles. From there, he/she had to try and get the bangles to wrap around as many of the tubes as possible.

Family Apir

In Family Affair, 3 families of 4 members will first showcase their family cheer. Additional cash prize will be given to the best cheer performance. The group will compete with each other by simply popping 10 balloons for each family repeatedly. Players sits on their teammate's lap for them to pop the balloons. (Player No. 1 runs and pops Player No. 2's balloon; Player No. 2 runs and pops Player No. 3's balloon; Player No. 3 runs and pops Player No. 4's balloon; and Player No. 4 runs and pops Player No. 1's balloon.) The family with the shortest time to pop all 10 balloons advances to Wall of Fortune.

Wall of Fortune

Wall of Fortune is the jackpot round of Family Apir. The winning family/team will choose one family member to be blind folded and to pop balloons hanging on a wall. Each balloon corresponds prizes. (Blue balloon=Php1,000,Green balloon=Php2,000 and Yellow Baloon=3,000) The red balloon signifies the jackpot of that day, Php5,000 is added each day to the jackpot if the player doesn't pop the red balloon. The player must not pop 3 black balloons, because popping 3 black balloons means the game is over. One lucky studio audience will be chosen by a raffle draw to replace the player and have the chance to earn money and as well as to get the jackpot prize (Php10,000 only for the audience).

Wiltime Bigtime

Wiltime Bigtime was inspired from the famous segment of Wowowee entitled Willie of Fortune. Six people selected earlier through "themed" auditions compete in pairs. The game will voice out stories from the garbage collector, laundress, security guards, students, teachers, salesman and more. Join them as they shed and happy until they reach the prizes prepared by the program for them. The program reflect to the stories of each players with Willie. The objective of the game is that each pair shall race up to 2 points through Wiltime Bigtime's "Kantanong". The in-house keyboardist plays a portion of a song, and the first person to name the song ("Titulado"), sing the song ("Sing It"), or guess the song's singer ("Sing no-to'"). Each correct answer is equivalent to 1 point. Two points are required to win the round and get to round two.

In round two, the three remaining players will each get PhP 5,000 and will move on to the second round where they will go to a knock out question. The winner advances to the jackpot round, Spin a Wil.

Spin a Wil

• PhP 3,000
• PhP 5,000
• PhP 10,000

In the second roulette (with the letter 'I'), the player can get a multiplier, either x2, x3, or x5. In the third roulette, the player must spin it first, then the host will offer him/her with a certain amount of money and will ask him/her "Uwi" (go home) or "Hindi" (stay). If the player decides to go home, he/she will take home the host's offer plus his/her earlier winnings, regardless of the revealed result; but if the player decides to stay, he/she will get the revealed result in the roulette. If the roulette reveals the word "Bokya" (fail), the player will not get any additional prize. If the roulette reveals the letter 'W', the player wins a car, a house and lot, and PhP 1,000,000 cash.

However, hearings on the case, which was filed at the Makati Regional Trial Court Branch 66 under presiding judge Joselito C. Villarosa, was suspended after the Court of Appeals granted the request for a temporary restraining order by TV5.
