Ezekiel Takes On Maria Clara

Big Brother may have noticed that Zeke had some problems understanding the Filipino culture, especially with regard to the image of Filipino women. To give Zeke a lecture on Filipina 101, Kuya figured a task to give our Aussie housemate. The only way for Zeke to know how it is to be a Filipina is for him to become one. With this ingenious, and also hilarious task, Kuya employed the help of the ladies.

Wendy, Bea, and GeeAnn were tasked by Big Brother to dress Zeke up and teach him how to talk and move like a traditional Filipina. The girls dressed Zeke in a Filipiniana costume with a wig and a fan. Zeke underwent a crash course from the girls on being a domesticated, demure, and virginal Filipina. Wendy, with her background as a beauty queen, showed Zeke how to walk slowly and properly. Bea, on the other hand, told Zeke speak in a soft voice while GeeAnn instructed him to always cover his mouth with the fan. When Zeke was completely dressed, all that the girls could say was "mas maganda ka pa amin!"

Then the refined Zeke came out of the room as the more reserved Imelda. The boys could hardly stop themselves from laughing upon seeing Zeke in a dress. Nel complimented Zeke on how beautiful the Aussie dude was. Kian was speechless on the look of Zeke, but after a while decided to introduce himself to the Filipiniana housemate. Zeke seemed to be enjoying the task as he gladly, but finely, extended her hand to the chuckling Bruce. Zeke learned how to deal with teasing men by slapping them with his fan.

Zeke went outside and tried to help in keeping the water mill running. He grabbed a pail and used it to scoop some water from the pool. The girls kept reminding Zeke to remain in character by keeping his movements more reserved and feminish. But he figured that his role was getting in the way of the time-conscious water mill work.

What will Zeke learn from this task? Will he convince Big Brother that he portrayed Imelda very well, or will our Aussie housemate be stuck in this character for a much longer time?
