Considered as Eat Bulaga’s next big thing on TV, The EB Babes were formed from the ground up from hundreds of aspiring females from all over the country in a reality TV type concept, from the eliminations ’till the semi-finals, only 30 remained and were given the chance to prove themselves at The EB Babes training camp. The remaining participants were then honed and taught many different skills to become Eat Bulaga’s versatile all-female group, from dancing, singing to acting, everyone was expected to be at their very best, and at the end of the month long training regimen, social activities and nerve-wracking Saturday contestant cut-offs, only 10 were chosen to become Eat Bulaga’s new dance group.When the SexBomb Girls walked out on the noontime show Eat Bulaga!, due to issues with former SexBomb member Sugar Mercado (who at that time, whose contract had already expired on the said group) was being heavily promoted by Eat Bulaga!. This caused an unhealthy friction between the management of TAPE (Eat Bulaga!) and Focus Entertainment Inc. (Joy Cancio and the SexBomb Girls). This unfortunate misunderstanding resulted in the pull-out and boycott of the said group on the noontime show, leaving Eat Bulaga! with no dancers on the floor. For the meantime, the co-hosts substituted as the noontime shows’ dancers, until Eat Bulaga’s manangement finally took action and prompted to look for their very own regular house dancers, hence The EB Babes was born.The members of The EB Babes came from droves of female dancers who auditioned for a possible spot in the said dance group. The accepted applicants then had to undergo over a month of training in a dormitory-like facility located in Sitio Lucia in Sta. Maria, Bulacan. As seen on television, some of the young hopeful dancers were eliminated.Though the producers of Eat Bulaga!, TAPE, Inc. could have just taken the easy way by getting a new dance group or hiring established female dancers, they made sure that the latest addition to their family would excite their viewers . Thus they gave it a Reality-TV flavor which their audience enjoyed watching even with the tedious and taxing process of building for Eat Bulaga! a new dance troupe all worth it.As Malou Choa-Fagar quipped proudly, “Para maiba lang.”The smooth rise of The EB Babes is also because of the guidance given not only by Ms. Fagar but by the whole Eat Bulaga! family. Off camera, The EB Babes members were advised to be cautious of their actions, to have wholesome recreations, no vices as much as possible and being dignified wherever they are since they too are carrying the name of Eat Bulaga!
