Finally...Success!

A series of defeats make victory much sweeter. After four weeks of embarrassing losses, the housemates finally enjoyed the taste of success on the fifth week. As another week comes to a close -- paving the way to the second eviction -- Big Brother announced the result of the fifth "Water Mill, or No Mill?" weekly task. Kuya was very pleased with the determination and hardwork the housemates showed, hence, the mission was a success.

The housemates jumped up and down in the living room upon hearing Big Brother's good news. Even those who were sick, or at least need to act sick, showed their happiness from the long-awaited victory. Beatriz and GeeAnn hugged, while Nel pushed Dionne to the pool only to jump in right after. The celebration even became wilder (in a good way) when Kuya announced the prize he has for the housemates' effort. Kuya gave the housemates a whopping Php 10,400 as budget for week six. At last, they now have more money to spend on food and supplies, including cigarettes and other luxuries.

Everybody gathered in the living room to plan their week six budget. They thought of spending much on meat, but Big Brother had just reminded them of the upcoming Holy Week. This meant that they may have to stick to a vegetarian menu for another week.

So the whole week of filling pails with water and keeping the mill running day and night has come to an end. The housemates has finally proven their worth to Big Brother, that with determination and teamwork, success can be achieved. However, another challenge, the "contagion" challenge, is threatening the relationship and trust among our housemates. What fate awaits our housemates? What kind of challenge does Big Brother have next? Stay tuned to Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 for the second eviction night and more stories.
