Rice milling no more!

“Congratulations! Napagdaanan niyo ng maayos ang inyong weekly task.” Loud shouts of joy pervaded the house of Big Brother as he put an end to the HMs’ agony in rice milling. Big Brother announced this after he asked them to gather in the living room in the midst of their task. He further tells them how he have seen their bayo-nic perseverance and determination to complete the task while rising above the difficulties they’ve encountered.

For these, Big Brother rewards them with a whopping 12,000 in cash for their budget next week. This brought squeals of delight among the HMs after being quite in shock at first after hearing that their 3-day struggle has ended. More importantly, this exciting news gives them a chance to help 12 families of their choice as recipients of one sack of rice each. Their desire to provide for these families as reflected in their attitude towards the task appears to be the number one reason why big brother becomes really generous tonight. The housemates can now breathe their sighs of relief for their job well done.

The 7th weekly task is indeed very challenging because not only did rice milling proved to be tedious, but they have also faced various obstacles and issues among themselves brought about by this task. Having learned their lesson, they became more organized, strategic and even wittier just to overcome their feelings of weariness. Mickey, Maricris, Wendy and Nel stand out as the HMs who have truly exhibited this attitude. Even Gee-Ann surpassed the challenge of being an old blind woman while still contributing to the task. On the other hand, frictions between some HMs were also created. Maricris bluntly reproached both Bea and Dionne for not giving their best in fulfilling their parts in the task as well as the household chores. However, Maricris tried to be calm and fair as she confronted them.

There’s no doubt that this experience made the housemates closer and wiser. But this doesn’t mean that they won’t be facing a new batch of trials. What does Big Brother have in store for the housemates? Find out at Big Brother Season 2 Primetime Bida!
