No strings attached

The housemates, who have lost two straight weekly tasks, are dead set on turning their fate around and conquer the maze Big Brother has set up for them. The early afternoon rain stunted their practice for a while, but they resumed as soon as the skies became clear.

After testing it last night, Zeke and Mickey tackled the string maze as early as this morning. Taking care not to touch any of the strings (as bells attached to the strings would signal this foul), the two tried to figure out the proper strategy and sought to find an easy path for them to cross. Nel joined them afterwards, and even stripped down to the short shorts he’s most famous for, but couldn’t help hitting some strings.

Saicy tried it out, but couldn’t stop laughing when her contortions drew a few choice comments from Nel: “Wow dancer oh!” Wendy also braved the maze, thanks once again to Nel’s heckling: “Isang kaha ng yosi yan, Wendy!” Robert and the others also suggested that they crawl when possible, but Mickey hinted that they should find a ‘no-gapang’ route as well, if ever Big Brother finds this as a violation. The girls, on the other hand, are convinced that a string or two has been added to the labyrinth.

And so the scholars seek to figure out the entangled mess of strings and bells that make up the fourth weekly task. Will they be able to nail the right path and pass through it without fail? Three days to go!
