Judges

Five judges will be present for a whole week (Monday to Saturday). They will grade the group performances, 10 being the highest and 1 the lowest. Judge Vice Ganda is the only judge who can present his score right after the performance.

Every week, one or more judges will be voted off. In this portion called Burado o Hurado (lit. "Be Erased or Be a Judge"), the audience and the viewers may evict judge/s through SMS. If a judge gets more than 25% of the total votes, he or she is evicted. Vice Ganda (as a permanent judge) is the only judge who is exempt from all public votes.

This week had normal contestants and mechanics, although the other four judges are composed of notable talent managers: Alfie Lorenzo, Manny Casteñeda, Cornelia "Angge" Lee and Jobert Sucaldito. They were all evicted at the end of the week.

Week 14 (February 1-6, 2010)

Showtime and its hosts went to Cebu to have live shows for the whole week. Voting for "Hurado o Burado" were suspended for this week as Sheryn Regis and Gab Valenciano both guested as special judges.

Week 22 (March 29-31, 2010)

In observance of the Holy Week, Showtime was not aired on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. With this, there was a special set of hurados - singers Richard Merk, Mocha and Jay Durias and showbiz host Phoemela Baranda.

At the Wildcard Finals that was aired on July 23, 2010, the groups XB Gensan and Boyz Unlimited Dancers tied in the competition and became the 10th and 11th finalist to compete in the Grand Finals.

Controversies

MTRCB suspension

Showtime was suspended by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) for 20 days. This was due to comments uttered by guest judge Rosanna Roces against certain groups, especially on teachers, heard live on January 7, 2010. As a form of self-regulation, ABS-CBN relieved Roces of her jury duty, but suspension was still served against the show effective January 11, 2010, thus returning on February 1. In the meantime, a placeholder show called Magpasikat would take over Showtime's timeslot.^[1] Magpasikat is basically the same show except the competing groups are composed of celebrities, Vice Ganda is included as a host than as a judge, and a quiz portion for audience members is added.

The suspension period, however, lasted only six days after the Court of Appeals issued a 60-day temporary restraining order against the MTRCB on January 15, 2010. The issuance of the order, and therefore the return of Showtime was announced later in Magpasikat.^[2]^[3]^[4]

On March 26, 2010, MTRCB ordered a total 1-month suspension of the program because of the incident, including the replacement "Magpasikat." The MTRCB also directed the filing of criminal charges against Florida Tan, ABS-CBN vice-president for programming, and other officers "responsible for the violation."^[5] Bong Osorio, head of ABS-CBN's Corporate Communications said that the suspension is not yet final and that they are seeking appeal before the Office of the President.^[6] However until present, no action has been taken.
