The Reigning Queen


Jasmin entered the Big Brother house in a relatively nondescript fashion, but this could be attested to the housemates who, after experiencing all sorts of gimmicks by the new entrants, may have felt a little used to the whole thing. But nothing could have prepared them for Jasmin’s take-charge attitude which she showed immediately this morning.

The housemates went about their weekly task of cooking for Big Brother, and were getting ready to prepare a nice dish of kare-kare. Jasmin took the reins, which was good for the housemates; but they soon had their doubts after Jasmin took the responsibility all to herself. Mickey even mentioned that they had to work as a team, but even his words didn’t sway this Diskarte Queen. So the housemates simply let her do her thing, until the dish suddenly began to get oily and coagulated. It wasn’t until Robert and Wendy took over when the dish was saved. But when Jasmin returned and took the sandok from Robert, all Wendy could say was: “Kakaloka!”

After lunch the housemates finally settled, and they played a game of 21 Questions. Zeke took his handy ‘banana mic’ and continued to ask Jasmin about her relationship stories. But Big Brother suddenly posted a task for them, and this required them to donate blood. The housemates were divided on whether they would acquiesce to the task or not, but since the room fell silent as they were filling forms, it seems that all of them would one way or another give their blood for a good cause.

Will Jasmin’s dominating attitude, which dwarfed even that of Kian’s, serve as a boon or bane for her? Will the housemates see her as an industrious person, or simply as not being a team player?
