BB want Mickey to Pretend

The sixth housemate to enter the "Pinoy Big Brother" house was immediately given his first task. The task, however, was a bit extra-ordinary.

"Binabati kita sa iyong pagpasok sa aking bahay. Ikaw ang una kong bibigyan ng lihim na task. Tayong dalawa lang ang nakakaalam na nakakaintindi ka at nakakapagsalita ng Filipino," Big Brother said.

The German-speaking Mickey was given orders by Big Brother in the confession room while the rest of the housemates -- Ezekiel, Wendy, Nel, Saicy, and Gee-Ann -- were lounging on the bed by the garden.

The still-handcuffed Mickey was told to pretend not to understand Filipino for five days to see how the others would react to him.

"Gusto kong makita kung paano sila makikisama sa iyo, kung ano'ng paraan ang kanilang gagamitin para maintindihan mo ang mga tasks at ang aking instructions. Gusto ko rin makita kung ano ang kanilang sasabihin tungkol sa iyo, lalo na kung alam nilang hindi mo sila naiintindihan," Big Brother added.

Big Brother promised Mickey an award should he finish his task. A punishment also awaits him should he fail.

"Pero sa susunod na mga araw kailangang manatili ang paniniwala ng mga housemates na hindi ka nakakapagsalita at nakakaintindi ng Filipino. Kapag naging matagumpay ka, bibigyan kita ng gantimpala. Pero kung hindi, magkakaroon ka rin ng kaukulang parusa," said Big Brother.
Before he was sent out of the confession room, Big Brother asked Mickey to give the group’s first task to the girl whom he considers as beautiful.

Mickey gave the instructions to Gee-Ann, the housemate who brought a baby doll with her to the PBB house.

The first group task involved removing their handcuffs while the Pinoy Big Brother theme song was being played for five minutes.

"Ang mga susi ng mga posas ay nakasabit sa inyong mga katawan. Maaaring ang susi ay nasa katawan ng ibang housemates kaya kailangan ninyo itong hanapin para mabuksan ng inyong mga posas. Binibigyan ko kayo ng limang minuto para gawin ang task na ito. Kapag nagsimula na ang kantang 'Pinoy Ako' ay sisimulan ninyo na rin ang pagbubukas ng mga posas," the first task read.

The task further added that the housemate who fails to unlock his or her handcuff will have it removed the following day.

Before they were able to rest, Big Brother gave them the list of house chores for the duration of their stay. They were also ordered to weigh their clothes and food that will last for one week.
Their first group task was only the beginning of other chores that they would have to do in the coming days inside the PBB house.
