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. But during Season 3 the theme song was changed.

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 Guinoo was removed from the show due to weight problems which was why she was not shown in the season finale while Concepcion left the show due to a talent fee dispute. Another issue is the rift between Angelica Panganiban and Cristine Reyes 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 were part of the third season starting April 18, 2009. There were no guests during the first episode of the season.[11][12][13][14]
