Reception

Theme song

Lito Camo composed the theme song "Banana Split" performed by Kool Chix, and is available as a bonus track in Willie Revillame's album Giling Giling from Star Records.

Program casting

Kristine Hermosa, Bangs Garcia, Riza Santos and Anne Curtis were originally selected as members of the cast, however, due to schedule conflicts of the selected actresses (Hermosa for Komiks Presents: Mars Ravelo's Nasaan Ka Maruja?, Garcia for Palos and Curtis for Dyosa) and Santos due to issues rift between her and Ruffa Gutierrez on the I Love Betty La Fea taping set, only Valerie Concepcion was left as an original member of the cast until replaced by Panganiban, Guinoo and Reyes. Despite the heavy schedule of the selected actresses (except Riza) who only appeared twice, in the episodes guesting Zanjoe Marudo and Diether Ocampo.

Gay kiss issue

During the December 6, 2008 episode involving Rafael Rosell along with other coverboys Jon Avila and Will Devaughn due to the practical joke segment (a dating game format) attempting kissing an a extra gay instead of Banana Split girls causing a rift between Rafael and a Banana Split executive producer. Instead the whole scene except some few clips during the taping was not shown with a public apology during the end of the show.[4][5][6][7]

Casting cut-out

Valerie Concepcion, Roxanne Guinoo and Dianne Medina left the show due to the upcoming Precious Hearts Romances collection in different episodes despite the show main cast, it was reported that Roxanne was removed from the show due to weight problems which was why she was not shown in the season finale while Valerie left the show due to a talent fee dispute. Another issue is the rift between Angelica and Cristine involving disagreement of the said show, however these issues are not true.[8][9][10]

Additional casting

The additional cast includes John Prats, Zanjoe Marudo, Jayson Gainza, Pooh and Pokwang are now part of the second season starting April 18, 2009. There were no guests during the first episode of the season.[11][12][13][14]

Cristine Reyes conflict

Cristine Reyes was said to have walked out of the taping of the show, but confirms that she only left the shooting of the Hayden-Katrina spoof because she doesn't want Halili to think that she was 'laughing' at her and rift tensions between Angelica Panganiban, RR Enriquez and Pokwang until replaced by Krista Ranillo and later by Nina Jose. But recently during the ABS-CBN Trade launch both Cristine, Angelica, Pokwang except RR are all reconciled each other.
