Beatriz Saw: PBB Season 2 BIG WINNER

Beatriz Saw wins the second season of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) after garnering a total of 1,571,556 votes or 30.29 percent of the total votes. Mickey Perz is first runner-up or second big placer with 1,286,166 votes or 24.79 percent.

The controversial Wendy Valdez placed third with 1,209,978 votes (23.32 percent). Gee-Ann Abrahan got 1,119,714 votes (21. 58 percent) to place fourth.

PBB Season 2 Big Winner Bea came out in a giant mirror ball before reuniting with her family. "Follow your dreams, go!" an esctatic Bea exclaimed to the jubilant crowd.

Bea wins a house and lot from Globe Asiatec, a kitchen showcase, a brand new car, a business franchise from Crystal Clear water, package tours, as well as P1 million cash prize.

After Wendy was announced as the third placer, she was heard saying "Teka, baka i-boo ako" to the other Big 4. True enough, most of those in Araneta booed her but Wendy was smiling through it all and made a peace sign with her two hands.

When co-host Bianca Gonzales asked Wendy to give a message to her family, the crowd's jeering got louder.

"Sana pagsalitain n'yo muna po ako. Ayoko lang nasasaktan ang family ko. Ako, okay lang kahit parang gusto ninyo akong sunugin. May purpose po si Lord [kung bakit nandito ako]. Pag isinisigaw ninyo ang pangalan ko, at least pinapansin ninyo ako. Thanks," said Wendy to the crowd.

Four months ago, select housemates were introduced to the public as the new tenants of Kuya for the second season of Pinoy Big Brother. They represented a cross-section of Filipinos, including those with mixed parentages.

After 126 days, the remaining four finalists, Gee-Ann, Mickey, Beatriz, and Wendy, bested all the other 16 housemates by garnering the highest number of votes for the period.

Auditing firm SGV and Company tallied the votes, dating back from when Robert Woods II was evicted until the very night of voting, June 30. The firm verified the number of votes coming in until the Big Winner was announced.

The Big Four were brought to the Big Dome in vintage cars.

The theme for the night was "Global Fiesta," according to Maribeth Bichara, the choreographer of the show. For the opening number, she had around 60 dancers filling the stage of the Araneta Coliseum. Professional dancers and former PBB housemates performed a medley of Filipiniana dances and modern numbers that wowed the audience.

Ex-Slovenia Big Brother housemate Tina Somelic, who flew all the way from Slovenia, participated in the grand event by joining in the opening number.

The 18,000-seater Araneta Coliseum was jampacked with supporters of the Big 4. Comedian Chokoleit pleaded with the audience before the start of the program. "Sana walang magkasakitan. Sports tayo lahat," he said.

All the evicted housemates participated in the opening dance number. Bruce Quebral and Bodie Cruz danced Maglalatik, Saicy Aguila and Dionne Monsanto danced ballroom, while Nel Rapiza and Kian Kazemi danced polka with Tina.

Comedians Jon Santos, Candy Pangilinan, Giselle Sanchez, and RS Francisco impersonated the Big 4—Jon as Mickey, Candy was Bea, Giselle as Gee-Ann, and RS as Wendy. When RS appeared, he was booed by majority of the people inside the Big Dome reflecting the people's disapporval of Wendy, whom they perceive as a "villain" inside the PBB house.

The PBB 2 housemates performed the finale with the Cebalo band.

Just a sidelight, when Wendy saw her boyfriend Bruce, she rushed to him. Bodie also hugged Gee-Ann upon seeing her.

Previous PBB winners Nene Tamayo (Season 1), Keanna Reeves (Celebrity Edition), and Kim Chiu (Teen Edition) were also present. With Bea's victory, the lucky streak continues for the women housemates.

Wendy Labas!!!!

BIG WINNER!

Sino ang iyong PBB Season 2 BIG WINNER? BOTO NA!

Understanding Wendy..

Note: Though not regularly, I do get to watch Pinoy Big Brother. I try to watch whatever my siblings watch in order to process these things with them.

Recently, there’s been a big fight among the girls because of the mock nominations. Big Brother tricked them into a “live nomination” where each of the 7 remaining house mates would mention (in front of everyone) who are the 3 that don’t deserve to make it to the Big 4. To make the long story short, there has been a lot of public attention on the recent rage of Wendy, who did not take the nomination well. Inasmuch as I would love to hate Wendy for her actions, I cannot condemn Wendy, I only condemn her actions. She’s human after all. I may not agree with her, but the least I can do is understand her.

What happened?

She felt betrayed that Bea and Gee-Ann both thought she didn’t deserve to be in the Big 4. She felt crushed by the idea that people who love her would actually nominate her. For what reason? Because Wendy was already evicted and now she’s back through one of Big Brother’s Balik-Bahay gimmick. So Wendy’s anger got overblown as she started to accuse the two girls of being plastic. She accused them of being two goody-goody house mates. She claimed they hated her. She started thinking that these two are really mean girls who are strategizing in the house. She bullied them in order to provoke their anger by calling them names, lashing out hurtful comments in front of other house mates, and accusing them of being insincere when they did not respond negatively to her antics. Wendy proudly defended her actions by saying, “okay lang na masama ako, basta ako, nagpapakatotoo.” [It’s okay to be bad as long as I know I’m sincere.]
[Note to reader: if you wish to skip the commentary on Wendy’s problematic beliefs just scroll down and read “Where do all these problems come from?”]

Wendy’s “Love = No Nomination” theory

Wendy felt betrayed that the two girls nominated her. She could not believe that these two girls would treat her with affection and at the same time nominate her. How could someone who loves me, nominate me? It was an enigma. But in that same nomination, Wendy herself told her good friend, “I love you Bodie,” and she nominated him. He felt hurt and cried, just as she did, but Bodie moved on. Wendy held the grudge. Of course, it’s all a game. “Walang personalan, walang galit-galitan after nito,” the irony is that Wendy was the one who uttered that right before the nomination. In an attempt to make her understand her own inconsistency Mickey specifically pointed out her nomination of Bodie, but Wendy simply replied, “it’s different.”

Wendy’s self-contradicting notion of trust

Wendy believed that the two girls are liars and are only pretending. Her reason is that Gee-Ann and Bea know that they are on national television. Therefore, they are trying to maintain their image. This is why she would not agree with a reconciliation inside the PBB House. She wants to see them outside, the “real” them. The problem with this reasoning is that each house mate is aware that he/she is on national television. Thus, everyone is a potential faker. Why does Wendy distrust only Gee-Ann and Bea? Why doesn’t she distrust Bruce (her lover?), who has lied to everyone about not having a girl friend to begin with? How do we know that Wendy herself if not a faker? If Wendy tells everyone that she’s real and expects others to believe it, why does she not do the same to others?

Wendy’s understanding of human nature ~ pagpapakatotoo

As mentioned earlier, Wendy bullied the girls in the hope that they will get annoyed an unleash their hidden beast. (Wendy thinks people are naturally evil, I will explain this later on) Because both did not tolerate her, she believed they were not real. I think Wendy could not come to grasp with the reality that both girls are not like her. Bea and Gee-Ann are both non-confrontational characters. Bea is a natural pacifist while Gee-Ann is naturally passive. Bea does not let these things affect her while Gee-Ann would rather be a martyr because of her weak personality. Wendy exclaims, “Wala namang perpekto!” True, that’s why Bea and Gee-Ann both have their shortcomings: the former is aloof while the latter is a pessimist. I find it strange that she faults the other girls for being more patient than she is. Come on, there are many people who are, yes, not perfect, but undeniably more good-natured than the rest of us. Should we blame them for having greater control of their emotions?

(23 June 2007) I just wanted to add something that Grieckojohn said in his comment: “Kaplastikan ba ang magtago ng nararamdaman? I think you’ll say yes. But what if those persons just hide and try to control their emotions considering that they don’t wanna hurt somebody? Would that be the so-called “kaplastikan”? What if they’re just by-nature passive persons? or just silent yet observing and analyzing what’s happening before taking actions? Pagiging totoo does not necessarily mean boasting what you feel, what you think. What if they’re saying foul/mean words which destruct someone’s dignity and person as a whole?”

There’s nothing admirable in being sincerely disrespectful. “Okay lang na masama ako, basta ako, nagpapakatotoo.” [It’s okay to be bad as long as I know I’m sincere.] What’s the merit of being sincere there? If that’s the case, then we should honor all the murderers, kidnappers, carnappers, and thieves who have committed their crimes with pride.

Where do all of these problems come from?

A History of Hardships

Her mother would beat her up. Her father was a drunkard who abandoned his family and showed up only when he needed money.

On father’s day Wendy cried for feeling betrayed after the nominations and in the bedroom she revealed something important in understanding her personality: “masama akong tao, kaya yung mga taong mahal ko hindi ako kayang mahalin… it’s not hard for me to know people don’t love me, even if I love them; because my father didn’t love me, even if I loved him.”
Also recall that Wendy’s past boyfriend, Alex, only told her recently that he is already married. So all the time they were together, Alex had been deceiving her.

Wendy is the breadwinner of her large family. I actually admire her for all her efforts to be a provider for her siblings: She has joined dozens of contests, bagging the Ms. Tourism award in Binibining Pilipinas, and landing as a semi-finalist at Pinoy Dream Academy. She has also appeared in TV Commercials. But that is not enough: the huge demand of her many siblings still make them residents of a squatters’ area in Navotas.

The Question of Trust

All these encounters with hardships, and failed relationships– by failed relationships I refer to those where she deserves to be loved yet remained unloved– have caused her general attitude of doubt. Wendy cannot come to terms with the reality that people truly love her because the very people who were supposed to love her (her parents) deprived her of that love. In this way she feels betrayed. Because of this, she sees people in general as potential traitors. And the Big Brother House’s artificial set-up gives her more reasons to believe that people are showing affection out of strategy.

What It Means to Be Human

Her experiences with injustice and deception has made her believe that when people are real or nagpapakatotoo, they are angry irritable creatures. Deep inside, people must be intrinsically evil. This is why Wendy insists that she herself is a “masamang tao.” Perhaps she has subconsciously concluded that all people are evil. They tend to hurt and deceive. This is because the people who have surrounded her have done so. And seeing this capacity in herself justifies this all the more. There is a bad side to human beings that the good side can never overcome. That’s the reality of human nature according to this view. People appear good, but one day, they will hurt her… just as those she loved did.

Justified? Not Quite.

Understanding Wendy doesn’t justify her misbehavior. She is responsible for her own actions. Upbringing and harsh life experiences do not excuse a person from being accountable for his/her own offenses. Otherwise, we should free all the prisoners who have been influenced by past sufferings. No, it doesn’t work that way. Conversely, another’s misbehavior does not justify our lack of respect for that person. I will not scorn them because they, too, are children of God. I am not obliged to like them, but I have to understand them. My gosh, in how many forums & blogs have I read, “Wendemonyo, mamatay ka na!!!” She deserves some respect!

Hope for Healing

I have reasons to believe Wendy has yet to experience real love. Not “love” because she is beautiful, nor because she is the family financier, nor because she is the poster girl for pagpapakatotoo. Not even because she has good qualities. When she entered Big Brother’s house, Wendy said, “sana magustuhan ako ng tao.” Well, that’s all that Wendy wants and needs: the genuine experience of being loved for who she is.

Although I want Wendy to win the money and the house & lot (for the sake of her family), I am not rooting her because she does not have the qualities of what I think a Big Winner should be. After all, Pinoy Big Brother is not a charity contest! But I include Wendy in my prayers: may she find light, strength, peace, and most of all, love.

(Of course, I’m also hoping she gets to guest in “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal” and win at least 1 million!)

Gee-Ann's BF Total HOTTIE!

One of the most search item right now, if Gee-Ann's BF named Miggy Morales...here are some of his pictures together with Gee-Ann

"Hati-House"

First came a shocker, the next one was quite predictable and then third time’s the charmbut not without an added twist. Nighttime almost proved to be too solitary and ordinary for the housemates until Big Brother delivered his sudden announcements ranging from terrible to unbelievable. And what seems too good to be true became possible as love and luck finally led Wendy and Kian to a grand reunion with their housemates!

Yen and Hanna were busy preparing their meal tonight when the acting parents in the house Mickey and Bea asked everyone to set aside what they’re doing and gather in the dining table. For the careless management of their food supplies, Big Brother imposed a serious penalty for them to ponder on their recent actions. All the consumable goods in the house were confiscated and sent in the storage room for an indefinite period until they fully realize the importance of budgeting even if they have a bountiful stock.

Hence, they resolved not to exert too many movements to prevent themselves from getting hungry. Other plans were in store for them however, particularly to the ‘expectant mothers’ who had to learn tedious workout routines, which they later demonstrated to the guys.

Their presentation brought the second revelation. Big Brother was pleased with their demo, so he made them transfer their mock preggy bellies to their chosen guy-housemates; and this included Hannah who was supposed to be really heavy with child! But this was not a shocking announcement (or instruction) anymore because unbeknownst to her, they were already oriented to treat her like an expectant mother even before she showed up. This task resulted to a warm acceptance of the newbie and easier adjustment for everyone.

The exchange of this condition passed with much hilarious jeers which Big Brother also joined in. “Nel ba’t parang buntis ka na,” Kuya remarked while Mr. Perfect took off his shirt and showed his plump tummy. On the other hand, Bodie immediately slipped into a demanding persona whom Gee-Ann dubbed as Boda, “Tubig Gee! Tubig! Masahe mo naman ako… Ano bang pabango niyo? Pwede bang i-layo niyo muna! Kala niyo ba madali ‘to?"

Soon after this light moment, they shared a frugal meal -- grateful that at least their stomachs won’t be entirely empty after all. The housemates were truly humbled through this tough lesson. No complaints were heard as they proceeded to eat the simple food staple: six pieces of tuyo and several cups of rice. With this small amount of nourishment, some of them just decided to share plates!

Last but not the least was the happy reunion of Kian with the guy-housemates and Wendy’s with the girls who were separately detained in their respective bedrooms. Their comeback won’t be easy though because of the latest weekly task the lucky duo announced. Labeled as “Hati-House”, Big Brother forbids the housemates to interact with the opposite sex! And Bruce’s initial disappointment was obviously shown on his face.

How will they deal with this gender isolation? Will Bruce, Wendy, Kian, Gee-ann and all the others manage to hold their excitement and happiness when they see each other? How long will this difficult division continue?Don't miss the following happenings after the successful balik-bahays' return on Pinoy Big Brother Primetime Bida!

On Second Chances

Everybody in this world deserves a second chance. And whatever losses former evictees Wendy and Kian have regretted before, tonight came an opportunity to turn back the tide.

Four hopefuls, all with spectacular personalities, came back to show the people that they are worthy of residing in Big Brother’s house once more. And week 12 in PBB's calendar showcased a series of strange happenings as they worked their way through the covert duties they have to accomplish right under the housemates’ nose.

Most of the time, they led a humdrum life inside the four corners of their secret room. To chase away the boredom and tension towards what awaits them by the end of their stay, they relied on their wit and their game cards which perhaps restrained them from getting mad. Once in a while, they were allowed to watch how their former housemates are faring. And knowing that mere walls separate them from each other were their endless source of amusement.

Naturally, Big Brother saw a way to play tricks on the resident housemates and make them anticipate the big surprise which they learned tonight. From Kuya’s intended name-dropping of Wendy's name, a pinakbet fare for G-ann from Kian to the frequent detainment intervals and the mysterious meals cooked in their own kitchen... CSI Bodie and Mickey came to the conclusion that most probably an ex-housemate would be entering the housemate once again. However, they felt that this idea is too good to be true.

It can't be denied that the Hardcourt Hottie was one of the housemates who wished for Wendy’s return. Their unfinished business is a factor and more than that, the knowledge that he can now freely express his feelings for the commercial babe filled him with unsurpassed excitement.

Seeing Big Brother’s residents and the secret housemates interact separately next to each other was totally fascinating! Kian, Wendy, Jasmin and Zeke gave their best efforts throughout this week; unfortunately, only two of them were chosen through the people's votes and these are Wendy and Kian.

The Harcourt Hottie's righteous prayer for Wendy’s return may be answered but he has to wait a little longer for their much-awaited reunion. Because only Zeke was revealed to the housemates tonight! He got the lowest number of votes yet Big Brother permitted him to spend a night with them and fix whatever issues he has with the HMs. Meanwhile, Kian, Wendy and Jasmin were still left in the secret room.

How will Zeke fare tonight with the surprised housemates? Will Jasmin be given a similar privilege? And when will the lucky duo be officially out in the open? Tonight’s events certainly kept everyone hanging on thin air! So stay tune for the exciting happenings which will unfold in the coming days at Pinoy Big Brother Primetime Bida!

Wendy on Bruce: "Hindi ako galit sa kanya, galit ako sa ginawa niya."

"May tampo siguro. May ‘yong sama ng loob... Siguro na hindi niya nasabi, sa ginawa niya. Hindi ako galit sa kanya, galit ako sa ginawa niya. But then he has a reason na tina-try kong intindihin," said Wendy Valdez about Bruce Quebral's admission that he already has a girlfriend in an interview with PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) last week.

Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) housemates Wendy and Bruce developed a close relationship inside Kuya's house. The two admitted to Big Brother that they liked each other. Wendy was in a relationship with a non-showbiz boyfriend before joining PBB. The Commercial Babe explained that she and her boyfriend were not in good terms.

A few days before Wendy's eviction, Bruce confessed that he has a girlfriend outside the house. He said that he wasn't able to disclose the information because his girlfriend belongs to a different religion, Iglesia ni Cristo.

Before her eviction, Wendy got a kiss from Bruce. Bruce held her tight and kept on telling her that he loved her.

"[I feel] betrayed at the same time, kung ako 'yong girl, I'll feel betrayed also. Na puwede naman niya palang sabihin, bakit hindi pa niya sinabi kaagad? Parang ganoon, di ba? Sinabi mo na rin lang... Sana sinabi niya na lang earlier kahit mga pahapyaw lang," said Wendy.

The 2005 Bb. Pilipinas-Tourism admitted that she wasn't looking for love inside the house.

She explained, "Hindi rin naman namin ini-expect [na maging ganito kami]. Like what I've said, nalaman ko ni-nominate niya pala ako. And before, feeling ko mayabang siya and medyo hindi ko siya pinapansin dahil hindi ako masyadong ano sa mga [basketball] players. So, parang hindi namin talaga ini-expect na magkakaroon ng something.

"Before I entered the house, sinabi ko talaga sa sarili ko na hindi ako magpapa-involve kahit sino magka-crush sa akin or magka-crush ako inside the house kasi feeling ko baka naglalaro lang because this is a game. And when I told him that, sinabi niya, ‘That's exactly what I said before I entered the house!'"

Wendy admitted that she is aware that some people might think negatively of her because she herself was committed to someone outside the house.

"Siguro lahat naman ng tao or even mga housemates, may mga negative na something," she said. "Hindi ko naman ilalaban 'yon kung may mga taong nag-judge na sa akin na ganoon. I mean, people can be judgmental at times. I understand kasi kung kami nga na nandoon, nagpupunahan kami, what more sila. Napapanood nila kami. Wala namang mawawala sa kanila kung pupunahin nila kami."

Some viewers branded her "malandi" in some forums and even here in PEP.

Wendy explained, "Sa [isyung] malandi, hindi ko talaga alam kung papaano sasabihin ko diyan, pero siguro... Let's just say di namin in-expect, wala kaming sinet sa utak namin na magkakaroon ng something. Kung ano ‘yong mga nangyari sa loob, hindi rin namin in-expect na magiging ganoon, and magiging ganoon 'yong closeness namin."

She added, "Marami kaming problema ng boyfriend ko, disregard the fact na girlfriend si Bruce kasi late ko na nga nalaman, e. So kung alam ko lang, di ba? So ‘yong sa akin kasi sa boyfriend ko, even before I went inside the house, ang daming beses na namin nagbe-break... Mayroon siyang case, special case na I just don't want to mention, kasi para na rin doon sa pinagsamahan namin."

There have been rumors that Wendy's boyfriend is already married to someone else.

"I just don't wanna say anything about it kasi siyempre, minahal ko din 'yong tao. Ayoko na siyang idamay pa sa ganito. Problema ko na ito. Ako na lang. Ako na lang 'yong i-bombard ninyo," Wendy said.

She narrated, "Actually, as soon as I got out, kinausap ko siya. And then sabi ko, gusto ko makipag-usap nang personal, to talk about things and stuff. Para ma-explain ko din. But then he said na mag-usap na lang daw kami sa phone. Naiintindihan niya naman daw and ayaw niya muna kaming magkita.

"Palagay niya, ‘yong attention and care na ibinigay ni Bruce ‘yong hindi niya nabigay. Parang nagso-sorry siya and sinabi ko naman sa kanya na I gave you all the time to give that to me, hindi mo nabigay. So, naiintidihan ko rin na he's focused on some things about his life also.

"Napanood niya, parang iniisip niya na hihintayin niya pa rin ‘yong kami ‘yong mag-usap. But then as time passed by—at saka ‘yong napapanood niya talagang ano na—sinet niya na rin sa utak niya na baka nga nagkamali rin siya. And siguro noong nasa loob ako ng house, wala na siyang chance para makulit ako para magbalikan. Kasi, di ba, 'pag nasa labas ka, makikipag-break ka, kukulitin ka? Noong nasa bahay kasi ako, hindi niya na ako makukulit para ayusin 'yong sa amin. So ‘yong may lamat, sobrang daming lamat siguro nabasag na.

"Sinabi niya na rin sa akin na okay na siya, na he's trying to move on, and sinabi niya naman na nag-sorry siya, na hindi niya nabigay 'yong mga hinihiling ko before."

Wendy was asked if she thinks that the "relationship" would prosper outside the house.

"Let's just say may positive vibes akong nararamdaman," she said. "Kasi ‘yong mga nangyari sa amin, like what I've said kanina, hindi namin in-expect, and then mayroong mga signs. Parang may mga something na kinu-connect kami to each other. Like the song, like ‘yong guhit sa hands namin.

"After ko lumabas, nanood ako agad. Tapos nakaupo sila and then he said na, ‘Alam mo, 'yong eyes, window to the soul.' Sabi niya kay Nel. And then, parang sabi niya, ‘Kasi si Wendy, every time I look at her, nababasa ko kung ano 'yong sinasabi ng mata niya.' I feel the same way, pero di ko sinasabi sa kanya. So parang ang weird lang. And then at that moment, sinabi niya, ‘Siguro ‘yong mga lumalabas, binibigyan sila ng chance manood kasi ewan ko, parang instinct ko lang nanonood si Wends.' Wala lang, nakikilabutan lang ako."

Wendy—along with Kian Kazemi, Jasmin Engracia, Zeke Dimaguila—will be given the chance join the other housemates again. The two evicted housemates with the most number of votes will get to go back inside the house. The four are being kept inside one of the secret rooms of Kuya's house until the end of the voting period.

PBB evictee Wendy Valdez admits feelings for Bruce Quebral

Diretso nang tinuran ng latest evicted Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) housemate na si Wendy Valdez na may nararamdaman siyang pag-ibig sa kapwa niya housemate na si Bruce Quebral.

Sa mga panayam sa kanya simula nang siya'y lumabas sa Bahay ni Kuya ay natuon talaga ang isyu sa kakaibang emosyon at mga kilos nila ng naturang housemate.

Naging obvious nga ang lahat nang pansamantalang umalis si Bruce dahil sa naganap na swap between PBB at Slovenia Big Brother (SBB).

Marami ang mga bumatikos sa dating 2005 Bb. Pilipinas-Tourism at first runner-up, lalo na't pareho sila ni Bruce na may karelasyon bago sila pumasok sa PBB.

Pero sadyang malakas nga siguro ang atraksyon at hatak ng madalas na pagsasama at pag-uusap, lalo't sila-sila lang ng mga kapwa nila housemates ang nagkikita sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya. Hindi maikukubli ang kanilang mga nararamdaman, at sa mga tagasubaybay ng programa, naging paborito ang kanilang loveteam.

Sa loob pa lang ng Bahay ni Kuya ay ibinuking na ni Wendy na talagang nasa separation stage na sila ng kanyang boyfriend dahil sa isyu ng pagtatago ng katotohanan sa kanya hinggil sa tunay na estado nito. Sa panig naman ni Bruce ay isang sulat lamang ang ibinigay sa kanya ng kanyang karelasyon sa labas at hanggang sa mga sandaling ito ay nananatiling lihim kung ano ang nilalaman nito.

Ngayong nasa labas na nga ng PBB si Wendy, tila nagpapatuloy ang kanilang pagtitinginan. Naging malaking issue ang paghahalikan nila nang lumabas na ang huli sa PBB. Very vocal na ngayong ipinapahayag ni Wendy na mahal na rin niya si Bruce kung paanong ipinagsisigawan ng binata ang kanyang nararamdaman dito.

Sabi ni Wendy sa panayam ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), "Pero kailangan kong maghintay. He has to settle his issue with his girlfriend first kung paanong na-settle ko na yung akin. At gaya nga ng ibinulong niya sa akin before I got out of the house, if we're really meant for each other, then let it be and that I will wait for him."

Simula nang lumabas si Wendy, naging busy na siya sa guestings niya sa ABS-CBN shows. Nag-umpisa siya sa The Buzz, Homeboy, Wazzup Wazzup, at iba pa. Next week ay mapapanood na siya sa noontime show na Wowowee every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Nakatakda rin siyang maging cover ng isang men's magazine for its July issue. May balita pang siya ang planong kunin ng Warner Music para gawan ng isang album.

Toni Gonzaga naaksidente sa syuting ng commercial

NAAKSIDENTE pala si Toni Gonzaga sa shooting ng isang commercial kaya hindi siya makapag-host ng Pinoy Big Brother.

Ang sinabing dahilan noon ni Bianca Gonzales nang magsimula siyang mag-take over as host ng reality show ay meron daw special task si Toni kaya hindi ito makakapag-host ng PBB. Pero hindi pala ‘yon totoo.

Lately lang namin nalaman na naaksidente pala ang actress/TV host sa syuting ng commercial.

Ayon sa kuwento, napasubsob daw ang bibig ni Toni sa lupa at pumutok ang labi nito, dahilan para matigil ang shooting at dalhin siya kaagad sa Makati Med.

To the rescue naman kaagad si Sam Milby dahil pagkauwing-pagkauwi ni Toni from Makati Med ay dinalaw agad ito ng binata.

Ayon kay Sam, okey na ang kalagayan ngayon ni Toni. Wala na raw dapat ipag-alala ang kanyang fans.

Kay Bigat Ng Problema

...and then there was silence. When GeeAnn read her weight for the week, everybody was speechlees. For the fourth time, GeeAnn went beyond the five-pound weight limit. All that GeeAnn could say after stepping down the scale was "Goodbye guys," as if she had already anticipated that a forced eviction will be her punishment. GeeAnn gained 5.2 pounds for this week. Mickey's face turned to ice after hearing GeeAnn's weight, realizing that all his efforts to help GeeAnn lose weight did not pay off.

GeeAnn broke into tears as the truth slowly sunk into her. Her housemates were also unable to control their emotions as they sympathized with GeeAnn's predicament. Bea was the most sappy of everyone, while the rest just wished that the morning was just a dream sequence.
All in all, 11 housemates passed through the weighing scale this week. Geraldine and Yen only took their initial weighing. Mickey, Bodie, Bruce, Robert, and Beatriz all lost weight this week, with Mickey as the biggest "looser" shedding off 20.2 pounds. Saicy, Dionne, and Nel all gained minimal weight. Saicy gained 4.2 pounds and almost joined GeeAnn in the critical circle.

Big Brother requires his housemates not to gain more than five pounds every week, if otherwise, an automatic nomination will be imposed. If a housemate gains more than five pounds for three weeks, a forced eviction will be the consequence. Formally, this was the fourth time GeeAnn gained more than five pounds. However, Big Brother discredited last week's weighing because of the food feast that housemates enjoyed in celebration of Tina's stay in the house. But since this was GeeAnn's third time to violate the weight rule, her fate now stands in the balance.

GeeAnn brought back the scale to the storage room and Mickey accompanied her. GeeAnn kept apologizing to Mickey, but Mickey still refused to believe everything. He asked GeeAnn to step on the scale over and over again hoping that the reading was wrong. Outside, the other housemates all wondered why GeeAnn gained such weight when everybody witnessed how GeeAnn worked so hard to watch her weight. According to Beatriz, she saw how GeeAnn controlled her eating and managed to work out regularly. The others suspected that their might be something about GeeAnn's physiology to explain her weight trend.

GeeAnn and Mickey were later called into the confession room, then after, Big Brother gathered the housemates in the living room and announced that a nomination will be held. One by one, the housemates were called into the confession room to cast their own bitter vote. What will be the decision of Big Brother over GeeAnn's case? Will he implement the strict rule, or will he again device a plan that will give GeeAnn another chance? Are we going to see GeeAnn's name in the list for tonight's nomination? Don't forget to watch the nomination tonight on Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 right after Sharon.

Unfinished Business

The sands of time that measured Wendy’s stint in Big Brother’s esteemed House has finally ran out. But as she walked out the door of Kuya’s house, two new housemates make their surprise debut, more than filling in the shoes that Maricris left with her swift forced eviction. The maxim ‘with every ending, there comes a new beginning’ certainly holds true to the recent Fourth Eviction Night!

With one wrong move, the hot commercial babe falls prey to an unfortunate eviction that she brought upon herself. Just to refresh your memory, her accidental lapel violation made her an automatic nominee for this eviciton night. And with four, short days to be saved by her avid followers, nothing stopped the fates for her to bid goodbye…

When PBB Host Bianca Gonzales announced this to the housemates, it was the Hardcourt Hottie’s turn to cry river of tears. But this time, it is not a Swap but a longer period of time will separate their team-up. With the unresolved issue between them, Bruce can’t accept the fact that he lost her this fast! But before Wendy made her way out he left her with this parting words, “If we are really meant for each other, then let it be.” Despite the rift between them yesterday, her last hours were spent in Bruce’s arms, their hearts silently reconciling the conflict which threatens to break them apart, even before they become an official couple.

Meanwhile, it seems that a lot of mothering will befall upon the housemates with two real mothers joining them tonight. Big Brother decided to introduce two new residents who’ll be breathing the highs and lows of the amazing PBB life. Former PBB housemate Bianca first introduced Geraldine, 32 years old and a single mother of two kids. Dubbed as the Palengke Queen, her experiences in life taught her to become a fighter. At a young age, she was forced to work in Japan to find means to support her family. When asked why she deserves to live in Kuya’s House she emotionally answered, “Nais kong ipamahagi ang aking kaalaman sa kabila ng aking nakaraan.”

Similar to Gee, Makabagong Ina or Yen has two kids and she came from Quezon City too. In her mid thirties, she had a short stint as a fashion stylist and now she works as a head teacher in a school training Korean students for ESL (English as a Second Language) courses. Yen claims that she will definitely take care of the housemates during her stint in PBB.

However, one of them will be leaving within a week as the housemates make their choice on who will be staying with them for good. A bit older than the others, will they easily warm up and take a comfortable place among the vivacious cluster of true blue PBB residents? And now that she’s out, will Wendy still feel the same for Bruce? Dont miss all these exciting events as well as the Fifth Nomination Night tomorrow on the Pinoy Big Brother Sunday Edition!

At ngayon sa aming pamamaalam, kahit na mahirap sa aming mga kalooban na kayo'y iwan, ay kailangan naming gawin. Dahil sa mga personal na rason na aming kailangang gawin. Tumataba ang aming mga puso kapag naririnig namin ang inyong pasasalamat. Napapawi nito ang pagod at puyat na aming binubuhos para i-maintain ang site. Masaya kaming gawin ito, dahil alam naming nakakatulong kami sa aming kapwa PBB Fanatics na masubaybayan ang paborito naming show, lalong - lalo na sa mga Pinoys Abroad.

Nais po naming magpasalamat, mula sa aming mga puso sa inyong suporta at pagtangkilik. Maraming Salamat talaga!

Ang aming pamamaalam ay panandalian lamang, kami rin ay magbabalik at itutuloy ang aming mahal na gawin. Ang last post of videos po ay sa May 7, 2007, kung saan ang Primetime Videos ng 05/06 ang nakaupload. Inaasahan po namin na sa aming pagbabalik ay kayo ay nandiyan pa rin at susuporta!

Mula sa amin na bumubuo ng SK-PBB site, Paalam! Maraming Salamat! Hanggang sa muli! 060107!

School of hard knocks!

It may be the peak of the summer, but Big Brother made sure that the housemates would take a trip back to school once again. And in true PBB fashion, the housemates experienced the first installment of the task, and which can only be described as a combination of school and carnival maze!

The housemates were sent to the storage room to retrieve their materials, which turned out to be schoolboy and schoolgirl uniforms, with a colorful lunchbox completing their ensemble! They were then ordered into the garden, where a series of doors awaited them.

The housemates berated each other in true grade school student fashion, as they remarked in their best childlike voice: “Andaya mo naman!” or “Sumbong kita sa titser!” But then Big Brother explained that each of them would run into the series of doors, which was either a thin piece of cardboard or a painted part of the wall; an activity Big Brother referred to as an ‘entrance exam’.

Mickey went first, and successfully broke through the wall. Bruce was not so lucky, however, when his brute strength broke through the whole contraption! But the unfortunate ones were Gee-Ann and Wendy, who simply slammed into the wall, much to the enjoyment of the other ‘students’.

They were then separated into either Section A or B, according to their ‘entrance exam’, and were asked to choose a class president. Nel and Gee-Ann were elected, and this could only be the start of a wacky back to school task!

Maricris: Forced Evictee

An animosity which started as a joke ended with an ill-fated forced eviction of the fiery Italyanang Cabalen!

It was announced on TV Patrol tonight that Maricris or MC to her housemates finally left Big Brother’s House late this afternoon. It seems that her violent attitude towards her dispute with the Sassy Girl was the last straw, which led to this terrible outcome. The PBB residents are not privy to this as the whole episode was shown on national television last weekend.

To recap what happened between the two, Maricris first jokingly confronted Bea about her so called crush with Nel while they were having one of their weekly tasks. But Bea only rebuffed Cris’ false claims. Perhaps, feeling quite jealous and suspicious at the same time, Nel’s love tandem persisted on the issue which led to their arguments last Friday leading to its climax during their shouting match last Saturday morning.

Although the waters calmed when Big Brother reconciled them before going live last Saturday, Big Brother did not let the incident pass without a fair punishment hence, the force eviction for the provocative Italianang Cabalen.

Did Bea receive a lesser punishment for being involved in this much talked about sizzle inside Kuya's House or did she come out of it unscathed? What is the standing violation that Maricris crossed for her to be forced evicted?

http://bb2.pinoybigbrother.com/tabid/547/Article/4925/Default.aspx

Disturbing behavior

The forced eviction is only several hours away, and the housemates have every reason to be paranoid. No one really knows which one of them will leave tonight, and everyone is in dire straits, hoping for the best but expecting the worst.
Â
The tirade between Bea and Maricris could definitely be a factor since everyone, including Big Brother, was affected by the proceedings. Maricris’ sudden change of attitude has incited the housemates to take their own sides, and while this doesn’t guarantee their safety, they seem to have narrowed it down to the two. In fact, Maricris exclaimed: “Bakit di pa ako palabasin ngayon? Bakit pinapahintay pa, eh ready na ako.”
Â
Bea began to be a little paranoid herself, and while she’s convinced that it really isn’t her fault, she feels like she’s drawing the bad elements of the house to her. Dionne and the others were talking in the girls’ bedroom, and when Gee-Ann asked Bea to enter the room with her, she noted: “Pinalabas nga ako eh, baka meron silang pinag-uusapan.” She entered the room eventually, but only after she found out that Mickey has entered as well.
Â
Bodie took the time to console Saicy, whose pressure on the forced eviction brought her to tears. He did his best to make her laugh, but the specter of what will happen tonight still looms over her.
Â
Meanwhile, the housemates are guessing that a housemate will replace the one who will be evicted later. Wendy was certain that it would be a guy, and quickly added: ”Tumama na ako kay Tina ha… may sixth sense ako eh.” Everyone then laughed; but it was one of the few happy moments the housemates had today.
Â
Who will be placed with a forced eviction? What will be Big Brother’s determining factors in choosing who will pack up tonight? Be sure to tune in later for the shocking news!

A Startling Burst of Emotion

Day 63 inside the Big Brother house gave us a new twist and turn to the game. The usually silent Beatriz blew up at Maricris after the Italianang Cabalen insisted on having a one on one talk about issues regarding her so called crush on Nel. A shouting match exploded in the kitchen with Nel caught up in between the two girls.

The day started with Kuya’s wake up call but the housemates described the morning alarm a laugh trip – for it was Maricris teasing Beatriz about her ‘secret feelings’ for Nel during the PBB Fiesta. The Sassy Girl woke up with her usual cheerful demeanor while Cris declared to Mr. Perfect that she can’t pretend that things are A-ok between her and Bea. She then decides to talk things out with Bea but seeing that Cris isn’t her usual self, the Sassy Girl told Nel to tell their fellow housemate to stop.

"Di ka kasi makontento sa sagot na wala," Bea commented with her back turned to Maricris, making herself busy with preparations for lunch. Maricris then noticed that Bea avoided answering her questions so she walked out of the kitchen muttering to herself, "Tumahimik ka na, kutsilyo ang katapat mo." The other HMs in the garden were surprised to see Cris stomping out of the house. "Baka masaksak ko si Bea," she told them.

She then returns almost calm to Bea but the lass from Bicol told her that she’s "ngarag". "Kausapin mo ako pag di ka ngarag, di ka emo…maayos na Maricris ang makakausap ko. Yung kalmado." Maricris then says that she’s bothered with Bea’s silent treatment towards her.

"Nabo-bother ako sa di ka umiimik." Nel tries to mediate between the two but he could not even get a word in between the girls’s continuous fire of words. "Kung anong ayaw mo, ‘wag mong gawin sa iba," Bea firmly said referring to the way Cris treats not only her but also the other housemates, particularly Dionne. "You are forcing me. Para sa iyo lahat ng words may double meaning." The argument was heating up and during this time, Nel surreptitiously removed the knives on the table. Cris insisted she was calm, but Bea even demonstrated her crazy pacing the whole time they were talking!

The two, especially Maricris, have obviously reached their boiling points. Dr. Randy Dellosa, PBB’s resident psychiatrist shared his expertise and explained why the Italianang Cabalen acted that way. "The housemates have different ways of dealing with things…Maricris has trust issues. For other people to show emotions, ginagamit niya yung galit niya as a way to provoke emotions from the other housemates. Bea was calm, kaya prinovoke niya para ipakita ang intensity of emotions. Insultuhin, pagalitan siya, she’d appreciate it more." The doctor believes this attitude of Maricris could have stemmed from some teenage issues she had with her father.

When she was 16, Maricris secretly had a boyfriend which disappointed her father. Cris’s dad after the incident distanced himself and hid his emotions from her. Her closeness to Nel would also relate to this problem for Maricris seeks the approval of her father desperately whether it be about her relationships or her choice of friends.

Excitement about the BB Swap may have simmered a bit but trouble is definitely brewing up in the big yellow house. Could this be the end of the line for Maricris’s stay in the Pinoy Big Brother house? Or could there be another big issue that led to Kuya’s decision to kick out someone from his famous abode? Don’t miss another chair-gripping episode of Pinoy Big Brother Primetime, where the forced evictee, will be announced tomorrow!

The Great Pinoy Big Brother Swap Begins!

Two different countries. Two different cultures. Two housemates exchanged ‘lives’ as they venture into the much-awaited historical happening on the Philippine television! The housemates’ 55th day inside the house explodes with a groundbreaking event as the first Big Brother Swap between the Philippines and Slovenia begins!

At Big Brother’s Eviction Hall, no less than an ati-atihan dance performance signaled the opening of the first night of the Slovenian housemate Tina Semolic here in our country. But inside the house, Nel was called to the confession room to be told about a very special guest that they will be welcoming. They were given instructions to treat Tina well and to show her how respectable Filipinos are.

Back to back with this thrilling occasion is the birthday celebration of Robert, made special with the children’s party theme complete with super fun kiddie games and costumes, which they had earlier this afternoon. But for tonight, they are looking their gorgeous best in their striking red outfits!

Wearing her country’s national costume, Tina meets for the first time her Filipino housemates for one whole week! She introduced herself as a housemate from Big Brother Slovenia. Bringing with her a very special present for Robert, she gave him a box of personalized Slovenian baked heart-shaped chocolate cookies!

She definitely came as a surprise to the housemates as they ask her questions like “Are you touring Big Brother from around the world?” “Do you have any hobbies?” “Do you eat rice..bread..oatmeals?” “How do you find the girls?” At this very moment, the housemates are comfortably getting to know their new housemate.

Perfect! This is said to be the Slovenian Beauty’s favorite expression. This is also the first exclamation of Nel when he first saw her. Having this in common with him, will Tina find a close friend in PBB’s self-confessed Mr. Perfect? More importantly, how will she easily mix in given her different beliefs and Western background?

Meanwhile, Bruce is about to enter the Slovenian Big Brother House few hours from now. How will he cope with his foreign housemates?

Don’t miss the PBB Harcourt Hottie's first night inside Big Brother Slovenia and Tina's second night here in the Philippines at Pinoy Big Big Brother Season 2 Special Sunday edition on Primetime Bida!

PBB EXPRESS..

ROBERT TO DONATE BLOOD!

Top of the world

After several minutes of preparation, the great PBB Viking vs Amazon war is about to begin! They first gathered near the pool area, where they showcased their own battle rituals. Mickey and Nel both wore wigs for Amazon authenticity (when honestly they looked more like drag queens), and shouted their best shrieks. The Vikings, on the other hand, delivered a few grunts and growls of their own, and even shook their shoulders to the beat!

They generously taunted as well. The Vikings called the ‘Assuming Amazons’ weak beyond belief, and Robert even picked at Nel’s curly quaff, saying: “Hoy Tina Turner, ang pangit mo!” The others also jeered at Mickey, and as Wendy pointed out his hairy armpits, she shouted: “Hoy yung Amazon nay un o, all natural… di nag-shave!”

So when Big Brother gave the signal, the Amazons attacked first. Mickey and Nel launched a full-frontal attack, sacrificing themselves as the others flanked the opposing base. It took three Vikings to bring down the burly warrior woman Mickey, while Nel quickly retreated in fear when Robert scalped off the curly wig!

So the Vikings were confident to have captured the two large Amazon warriors, and soon launched a counterattack. Their enemies defended well, and there was even a tense moment as Robert got hit by Bea on the shoulder with a toy sword, prompting Big Brother to have them drop these and remove their helmets as well. But with all the excitement they forgot Mickey, who wrestled free off his bindings and took the flag back to their base!

So the Amazons proudly held the captive Viking flag up high as Big Brother declared them winners of the battle. This win was deserving for the team, who sacrificed their bodies (and in Nel and Mickey’s case, their dignity) to wrench this incredible win!

But the celebrations don’t end just yet, it turns out; the housemates win their weekly task! The second part of their activity had the housemates working together to retrieve bags of gold coins hanging on the rafters of the activity area. Wendy and Gee-Ann sat on a nearby net, which the others moved in order for them to reach them. The result: a whooping P9,350 weekly allowance!

http://bb2.pinoybigbrother.com/tabid/547/Article/4654/Default.aspx

Prepare for Battle!

Many struggles and internal battles have been faced by the housemates during their stay. And with this in mind, the final installment of their weekly task featured not only a battle, but a full-fledged epic war!

After their dance marathon, Dionne was called into the confession room. Everyone expected a weekly task when she came out; but no one expected it to be this big! Entitled ‘Amazons versus Vikings’, the housemates were tasked to re-enact a war between these two warrior civilizations. The premise would be similar to the popular war game ‘Capture the Flag’ where their primary goal was to safely steal the opposing team’s flag and bring it back to base. Those who would get caught will be placed in a cage (Viking territory) or tied spread-eagle (Amazon territory), but can be saved with a full-on frontal attack!

They were also provided costumes for the task, but the housemates, who thought that the team would be based on gender, were dead wrong. They instead chose a paper at random from a bowl Dionne provided, and had to don the proud armor (or brassieres) of their proud race! And the teams were as follows. Mickey, Nel, Saicy, Bea and Dionne round up the Amazon side, while the Vikings are comprised of Bodie, Robert, Maricris, Wendy and Gee-Ann.

They also had to make their own war cry, and Nel provided theirs with a loud, high-pitched shriek that would make any Viking rattle in fear! Big Brother finally explained that this would earn them 60 gold coins, but the task today would only be the first part; the activity that will determine if they acquire the coins will be announced later.

So the housemates, after procuring their costumes from the storage room, are currently putting them on for the task. Will this be a battle for the ages, a clash of two warring cultures, or a rowdy parade of cross-dressing housemates? The battle lines are drawn!

Bruce Feels Good in Slovenia

Now that Bruce Quebral, Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) housemate, knows where he's going to, all he feels is being proud to represent Philippines in Big Brother Slovenia.

Prior to his flight, PBB Business Unit Head Laurenti Dyogi already informed Bruce of his route to Europe, and the hunk housemate was shocked, felt relieved and eventually was amazed to hear about the great opportunity being given to him.

On PBB Primetime airing Thursday, host Toni Gonzaga had a chance to talk to Bruce via phone patch straight from Europe. Here's what they have talked about (translated from Filipino to English):

Host: Hello Bruce!

Bruce: Hi Toni, How are you?

Host: I'm ok. Where are you now Bruce?

Bruce: I'm now in Vienna. Anytime soon, I'd be going already to Slovenia.

Host: So how do you feel now?

Bruce: Somehow excited, mixed with nervousness. But I feel proud to represent Philippines in

Slovenia.Host: That's good. So, are you all ready to go to Big Brother Slovenia?

Bruce: Very much ready. I'm preparing now the things that I need to present to Slovenia.

Host: Bruce, you will meet female housemates in Big Brother Slovenia. How would be Wendy?

Bruce: (laughs) There would be no problem. What we were before will still be the same when I come back.

Host: Thank you Bruce, and goodluck.

Bruce: Thank you Toni.

http://bb2.pinoybigbrother.com/tabid/547/Article/4639/Default.aspx

Where is Bruce?

Surprises never cease at Big Brother's house! Saicy and Bodie were singing: “Kay tagal mo nang nawala, babalik ka rin…” Still kept in the dark about Bruce’s week-long stint at Slovenia, little did the housemates know that the answers to their curiosity about this latest happening inside the house (and across the globe!)were unfolded to them already.

Clever as ever, Big Brother assigned tasks, which served as preparations and clues to the imminent Big Brother Swap: The Titillating Tinikling, artistic painting of miniature jeepneys, perfecting adobo and the plane crash survivors role-playing task. Other hints are reflected in their wake up calls and even within their conversations per se.

Bodie, Mickey, Saicy and Wendy are analyzing this latest ploy of Big Brother in light of the 24 hour rule they’ve been oriented about when they joined PBB Season 2. Bodie explains that this rule maintains that a housemate, after being outside the house for 24 hours, cannot go back inside anymore -- and Bruce is gone for 24 hours already. They were making comparisons about similar departures in the previous editions of PBB to rationalize the Hardcourt Hottie's sudden absence.

Thinking that this is another secret task, Bodie states that maybe, Bruce is just hiding somewhere near the house with the staff. Quite nearer on target though, Mickey told them about how Big Brother works in Germany. A bit more and he could have reached the conclusion that Bruce is off to become a housemate in another country!

In another group of HMs, Gee-ann is observing how weird this week is: no nomination and eviction, no laundry, then the recent tasks and other events... Sigh. Housemates, housemates, housemates… You have no idea that more bizarre things are yet to come with the Big Brother Swap now on its full swing!

Will the housemates correctly guess the destination of Bruce and their fates as well before Tina shows up on Saturday night? Keep yourselves in-the-know by tuning in to Big Brother Season 2, leading to the big night on Saturday Primetime Bida!
