COINCIDENCE (?)

A crazy idea hit me yesterday while watching television and this about the Kris-Joey issue.

I just find it strange that after all the accusations thrown on air by both camps, last Thursday it suddenly ended with Joey asking for forgiveness to Kris on primetime TV and immediately, Kris accepted. Take note, it did not happen any other time but on primetime.

That was it? No bloodbath? With all these wild accusations (gun poking, STD, etc.) I was expecting a war. But no - - the drama ended all of a sudden.

And this is what I found strange. Kris went the police to blotter Joey's alleged gun poking (take note, the media was already waiting for her which means that they received a tip), then that interview with Korina with all the sound effects, lighting and yes set design (picture of Ninoy in the background, flowers, should I name it all). On the other hand, Joey was insinuating that Kris is lying. Then Kris filed a case at the prosecutor's office in Pasig. However, filler was flaunted by Kris side that they will not pursue the case if Joey will issue a Public Apology. Then a day after, Joey issued that apology and Kris readily accepted it and even saying that Joey is not the only one to be blamed, she too committed a mistake.

How convenient, isn't it? After all the tearful confessions, emotional word war between both camps, the pointblank denial, it all ended as simple as that with Joey swallowing his pride and Kris suddenly became all forgiving. Was divine intervention made them end this issue? Or was it planned to end that way.

Now this is much stranger. What if there was no apology issued? What if, Monday came and still both camps are still exchanging accusations on air? What would have happened?

Now you would like to ask me, why Monday? Because this Monday is the scheduled launching of the reformatted version of Game KNB? which is hosted by Kris. Wouldn't it look bad for Kris to look all too cheerful in her "new" game show with still the issue hounding her?

Strange isn't it that it all has to end before Monday?

Now, here another strange thing. This reformatted show is under threat because GMA-7, their arch rival, has launch four weeks ago Extra Challenge, a game show with a twist of reality TV (pinoy style). This show hosted by Miriam Quiambao and Paolo Bediones already has a following. Do I need to mention that it is aired exactly the same time as the airing of Game KNB?

So what a coincidence then that Kris "new" show is launch while everybody was all too eager to see her on TV again. I just could imagine the ratings she would reap this Monday night.

No, I would not conclude that something "fishy" is going on with all this issued about her lovelife. Let us just say, she was making the best out of the worst that has happened to her. What a lucky life then?

And here's another strange thing. Haven't you notice that all the ads that Kris endorsed are flooding our TV screens. And here's one more thing, did you notice her new ad for Smart StarTxt? At the end part of the said ad, where she was being interviewed, she said this, "I will survive, life most go on, smart na ako ngayon (I am smart now)." Isn't this a big coincidence that such ad would come out after the "conclusion" of her real life drama that captivated the whole nation?

My question is, when was this advertisement made? It couldn't be after Thursday (the day Joey issued a public apology), they would barely have a day to shot, edit the ad, that would be too impossible. Was it taken then while the issue was still hanging in the air? So while Kris was having those tearful confessions or her sullen look while she filed the case, she was also shooting for the ad where she was all smiles. Or was it made before the issue erupted? How lucky then for the advertisers that the line Kris have spoken has become more meaningful today because of the issue of her failed love.

All these are one hell of a coincidence. Or Kris and the people working for her are just making the best out of this "worst" episode in her life? Poor Joey, he can't do the same. Or this was all planed? If it is, then this is the biggest coup ever and much better than the lame excuses that Magdalo group continues to assert.

I really don't know. I am just thinking out loud.
