Not So A-Maze-Ing Friday

The major task for the fourth week climaxes in a live challenge on a Friday night. The housemates were given the whole week to master the web of strings constructed in the secret garden. The final phase was to accomplish this task on live national TV. However, it was a not so a-maze-ing Friday for the housemates as they failed to successfully complete their task based on Kuya's rules.

The housemates were earlier divided by Big Brother into three teams. The first team comprised Dionne, GeeAnn, Mickey, Nel, and Saicy. The second team consisted of Bodie, Kian, Bruce, Wendy, and Maricris. The third team was made up of Bea, Robert, Jasmin, and Zeke. Each team was given only five minutes to pass through the maze. Once a housemate rings a bell, he or she is automatically eliminated. The housemates were allowed to commit up to eight mistakes only, or otherwise, they will lose 50% of their budget for week five. The housemates wore luminescent skin-tight attire and the lights were turned off in the activity area. The strings were also made luminous so as to aid the housemates in passing through the maze.

On Big Brother's signal, the first team went through the strings. Silence and darkness filled the room as. Fortunately for the first team, they finished their task within the alloted five minutes. Dionne and Nel victoriously missed the bells. Unfortunately for them, Kuya heard a bell ring from GeeAn, Mickey, and Saicy. This sent disappointment to the first team.

Then the second team followed. Each member tried his best to flawlessly pass through each string. The five minutes were barely over when the last member found his way to the finish line. The second team awaited for Big Brother's ruling. Maricris and Bruce was unable to ring a bell, But much to their dismay, Kian, Bodie, and Wendy mistakenly rang a bell.

The last team then proceeded with the task. Bea, Robert, Jasmin, and Zeke sneaked through the strings. But too bad, Zeke prematurely rang a bell. He was given by Big Brother the chance to go back from the starting point. Bea, Robert, and Jasmin went on with the challenge. But in the end, only Robert and Jasmin succeeded. Bea and Zeke were all immediately called by Big Brother for ringing a bell.

When the last team was done, Big Brother made an official announcement. The housemates failed to accomplish the task as nine housemate mistakenly rang a bell. It was a devastating fourth loss for our housemates. As agreed, 50% will be slashed from their budget for the following week. But the housemates seemed to know how to look on the bright side. "Sanay na tayo matalo!" as one of them jokingly said. To keep their minds of the defeat, the housemates just went on for some Araw Natin 'To happy dancing.
