"I Dare You: The Kapamilya Challenge" Soon on ABS-CBN

I Dare You: The Kapamilya Challenge is a new reality show from ABS-CBN that will challenge the ability and courage of celebrities to take on real life roles of an ordinary person. To be hosted by Jericho Rosales, Iya Villania, and Melai Cantiveros, the show reminds me of GMA News TV's Day-Off where the hosts take on blue collar jobs for a day.

I Dare You: The Kapamilya Challenge is the Philippine franchise of AXN's I Dare You: The Ultimate Challenge. News about this new show broke out on the latter part of 2010, and a teaser (featuring Kim Chiu) has been shown as early as December last year.

A newer teaser, though, shows more Kapamilya stars like Gab Valenciano, Vice Ganda, Jason Abalos, and Ryan Bang, among others. It even still shows Alessandra de Rossi who has just recently transferred to GMA-7.

Watch the said teaser after the jump.
