Only 1 bayong is chosen from the selected 3 and Willie will then start to barter the bayong for an amount of money.
Willie of Fortune Format
The first season's format started with Willie of Fortune, a pun to Wheel of Fortune. The pun is irrelevant to the real title. At this point, two people at a time answer questions and advance.
The Contestants are pre-choosen. Sometimes from local businesses, like all hairdressors, or all cooks, or all gardeners. Other times they ask celebrities to be on the show, like all actors or actresses, or beauty queens, singers, etc. This way the people doing the same type job are matched with each other.
Current Game: Questune. Willie calls for a Questune and the pianist plays a song. The Contestant that regognizes the song may press a button on a signal device. The first to press a button must guess the title of the song within a few seconds. If they get it right they get 1 point. Then if they can sing it they get another point for 2 points and advance to the next level. If they can't sing it, the other contestant has a chance to sing it to get the point. If the first contestant answers wrong, the song is played again for the second contestant and they are given a chance to answer it. Once one contestant gets 2 points they advance and the other gets some corn and a seat in the audience.
Current Game Formats
Game 1: Isang Talon, Isang Sagot (One Jump, One Answer). A type of question and answer game, the 3 contestants remaining stands in front of panels that you need to stomp via jumping to answer. The first person to score 5 points proceeds to game 2.
Game 2: Biga10 (Heavy hitter). This is where the earlier 10 random audience members are used for. The winning contestant from the first game is given PHP50,000, he/she will be pitted on a one on one question and answer part against 1 of the Biga10 's. If the contestant from Game 1 gets the right answer another person from the Biga10 's is pitted against him/her, otherwise he/she loses PHP3,000 from the PHP50,000 given. If the contestant from Game 1 is able to beat all of the Biga10 's, the PHP50,000 given is doubled.
Game 3: Sigurado o Doblado (Sure or Double). If the contestant from game 1 wasn't able to defeat the Biga10 's perfectly he/she will be allowed to choose from Sigurado or Doblado. If the game 1 contestant chooses Sigurado Willie of Fortune stops right thereand the contestant keeps the remaining money from facing the Biga10 's. However if he/she chooses Doblado he will be asked to choose a combination from chips that alternate as black and white that will be shown to him/her. After choosing, the chips will be put in a box which will be thrown all around the audience and back to the center. Willie will then open the box and reveal wether the player gets the right combination, if he/she does.. the money he/she earned from game 2 is doubled if not he/she goes home with the money he/she acquired before Game 1.
Edit: Recently another chip was added to the selection, this is a chip for a motorcycle unit... it has a side with a picture of a motorcyle on it and the other side has none. It will be included in the box making the chips contained in the box to 6. If the face that turns is the one with the picture of the motorcycle.. the player gets it add to that the result of the combination of the other 5 black/white chips.
