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.

Summer shebang!

After a long and tiring afternoon of practice for their weekly task, Wendy was called into the confession room. She received the task for today, and thankfully for the housemates, it didn’t involve any strenuous activity.

In the task, Big Brother noted that he has declared it to be summer inside the PBB house, and that the housemates should imbibe the summer atmosphere by having a pictorial! They were to pick up their swimsuits from the storage room, as well as a digital camera, and proceed to take individual and group pictures of each other in their summer garb. Wendy and Bruce, who both have backgrounds in modeling, would be spearheading the activity.

After they all changed, the housemates began their pictorial. Zeke took the camera, and seemed to have an eye for photography, as he directed the housemates’ shots. Soon the housemates were delivering their best poses as Kian took behind the lens as well. Nel even dropped his puppy garb for a more refreshing summer look! Gee-Ann and Bea, who were at first hesitant to show their summer bodies, eventually posed nonetheless. Soon Big Brother himself took directorial duties and asked them to pose as a group.

So after toiling under the summer sun, they soon enjoyed a great time under it as well. More hot and sizzling pics of these housemates to come!

The adventures of Nel the Dog

Nel got to walk a mile in Buddy’s shoes, thank to the fifth phone call he received. And his transformation from Mr. Perfect to the 103rd Dalmatian was simply hilarious; Nel had to wear spotted ears, paws and shorts, while his whole body was painted white with black stripes. He even had a spot conveniently placed over one eye, thus earning him the name ‘Spot’!

While the housemates practiced their dance moves before lunch, Nel was obediently sitting down on one corner. When they finished practicing, however, he crawled on all fours and approached them, who gleefully gave him a pat on the head. All Nel could say was “Woof!”

Lunch for the housemates was normal enough, except for Nel, who decided to roll over and play dead by the sofas. Mickey, being a good amo, went to him and spoon-fed their pet while telling him: “Kung makita ka ng mga fans mo… uy si Nel aso o!”

It wasn’t such a good life, however, when Nel had a minor episode with Buddy. The latter probably sized up the competition, and angrily growled at the new pet for sharing his territory. Robert then noticed, and slowly led Nel away from the house.

Finally, the housemates practiced their weekly task in the secret garden. Nel showed incredible flexibility for a pet dog, standing up on two legs and navigating through the strings with hardly ringing a bell. Everyone shouted: “Ang cute ni Nel o!” as he could only reply with a few ‘Woofs’ of his own!

And so the adventures of Nel the Dog continues. And in the few hours left as a canine, will Nel appreciate how his housemates cared for him, or will he realize that the PBB house is a ‘dog eat dog’ world? The puns end here!

Shop In 60 Seconds

The famous big red telephone inside the house has been changing the lives of some of housemates. So far, three people have consecutively received a good call from Big Brother. Although the challenge debuted with a punishment in the case of Zeke, it seems that Kuya is in a good mood to reward the housemates.

Dionne was the third housemate, after Mickey and Bodie, to receive a good news from Big Brother. She was given a treat comprising a Php 5,000-worth shopping package. Being a typical girl, Dionne was very much pleased with the offer. However, Kuya won't give it that easily. The catch was that the shopping would be done in the storage room and she can only shop for 60 seconds.

After a few hours, Dionne got her treat. The housemates were all gathered by Big Brother in the living room as Dionne was called in the confession room. She was given the final instructions on how to proceed to with her haste shopping, then she was told to go to the storage room.

Upon her entrance, Dionne was given the go signal to do her shopping. The countdown began and Dionne started picking anything stuff she wanted. She paid particular attention to the price tags of each item as she was only given a Php 5,000 maximum budget. Dionne did her fast shopping with the other housemates watching from the screen.

When her time was up, Dionne was told to use the calculator in computing the total price of the stuff she got. Much to her disappointment, Dionne spent only Php 2844.50. She later regretted not getting as much as she can, but also realized that it was not that easy since she only had a minute.

Dionne went to the living room and shared her stuff to the others. In her basket, she had several clothes, food, beer, and shoes. Big Brother also announced the other stuff that Dionne failed to get, like cigarettes. Dionne still looked disappointed, but the other housemates just advised her to look on the bright side.

Who will received the next call? More importantly, will the next call be a good one? Let's all keep locked in here for more developments.

Get to steppin'!

The housemates were primed to carry on with their weekly task, and were about to go into the secret garden when a couple of ‘distractions’ drew them away from their planned routine.

Earlier this afternoon, the housemates were shooting hoops in the garden when Big Brother suddenly called them. Mickey quickly called all the others so as not to keep him waiting, but he reminded all those who have not answered the call that they must first decide among themselves who the lucky (or unlucky) recipient was. Nel volunteered at first, but then thought of the rule and went with the majority, who selected Dionne. She then stepped up and answered the phone. But Big Brother was in good spirits, and decided to reward her with a 60-second shopping spree in the storage room! Dionne beamed when she heard of the P5,000 limit, and after thanking Big Brother, she happily told the others of the good news.

Meanwhile, Saicy was called into the confession room and was handed their task for today. The housemates were shown a VTR of a certain dance step, which they must memorize and perform later in the day. They found it hard to catch on though, and despite the fact that it had to be shown only once, the housemates were given a little leeway and were shown the video thrice. Mickey and Saicy were appointed as the leaders for this task, and after the boys and girls each tried their hand at dancing (the boys showed quite a clunky performance), they quickly got to practicing.

Will the housemates put together a performance worthy of Big Brother’s praise? And when will Dionne cash in on her reward?

A leap of faith

There isn’t a prayer room inside the Big Brother house for nothing. After lunch, Bea tried to make some small talk with Robert, who was seating by the garden. But their conversation soon took a much serious tone when they discussed a very vague yet unsettled issue: faith.

Robert told her that the hardships he endured before entering the Big Brother house has slowly enveloped his concept of faith. Bea, who was a religious person herself, couldn’t seem to believe why Robert would have this drab outlook in life. But soon Robert revealed that it wasn’t an issue of him versus God, but rather a culmination of all the bad things he experienced. “I got a problem with trust as well, I don’t trust people easily… nung nagpunta akong Birmingham, madami akong nakilalang hindi trustworthy. Since then I said I need to know the person to trust them.”

He then explained to Bea that accepting people’s trust doesn’t play out in other countries as well as it does here in the Philippines. But while Bea pointed out that at least he was able to see his father again, Robert replied that what he had to do to get three took its toll on him. He translates his disposition to his analysis of Pinoy Big Brother: “The whole concept of Big Brother is it’s a game, it’s hard to trust someone because if you become close to a person, and if you have a task against him, you’re gonna have a hard time.”

Bea then asked him to accompany her and Gee-Ann to the prayer room, but he respectfully declined; but he once again made it clear that it was his hard knock life that made him like that, saying: “More of specific reasons ang nangyari sa kin kaysa religious beliefs.” To this Bea noted: “Natutuwa ako kase ikaw, napaka-open mo sa emotions mo. There’s not too many guys like that.”

Robert seems to have the right perspective on Big Brother; that it’s just a game. But is this kind of mentality adhering to his outlook in life? Will he ever be able to restore his faith, and will his stay inside the Big Brother house serve as welcome experience? Keep it here!

Make Your Own Face

The first part of the mask-making was finished, but the housemates were only halfway toward completing the whole task. Using the masks that they have made, they must make their own face sculptures. It was not much of a problem on the part of the housemates as Kuya's guest prosthetics makeup artist was there to talk them through the activity.

There were not enough bowls and spatulas so the girls were the first to make their own face sculptures. The guys, for the mean time, cleaned up other mess and observed the girls do their sculptures. There were all told to take care of the mask made from their faces, not the mask that they made themselves. They were instructed to make sure that their masks have no cracks or holes where the dissolved plaster might spill. The housemates checked their masks for any holes particularly on the nostrils and eyes part.

Then they began dissolving the plaster of paris in the bowl with water. The powder must be completely dissolved in the water. They mixed the powder in the water with the use of their spatulas, but this time, they were advised to make sure that the mixture would not be as thick as that of what they earlier made for the mask. The mixture must as fluid enough to be applied all over the back side of the mask.

The mixture was then applied all over the masked. The guest artist advised the housemates to cover all the pink part on the back side of the mask with the fluid plaster mixture. Once all the pink part was completely covered, they were told to cut the excess straws on the side of the masks.

After the girls have finished, the boys had their turn in making their face sculptures. The girls set aside their masks to allow the plaster to dry up. In the meantime, Kuya advised the housemates who were not that busy to help out the others in changing the batteries of the lapels. Some of the girls even helped out the boys in making their sculptures.

After a few minutes, the housemates were given the go signal by the guest artist to detach the face sculptures from the pink clay. They were all successful in lifting their sculptures, but they were some cracks and holes found particularly on the nose part. They were instructed to use spare clays to remedy the cracks and apply some final touches.

Each of the housemates was later called by Big Brother to present their work. Kuya judged each mask to see how the housemates faired in this particular task. Some masks turned out good, but there were those, particularly that of Bruce and Maricris, which needed major remedy.

The housemates were supposed to make another paper mache activity, but since it was already late, the activity was postponed. The guest prosthetics makeup artist just advised the housemates on how to improve their works. The housemates all showed their gratitude and appreciation to their teacher and to Big Brother for the enjoyable art lesson.

Was Big Brother impressed with the works of the housemates? Will their masks share the same fate as that of the clay pots made in the previous week?

In Your Face Task

It was a new day for the housemates which meant a new task from Big Brother. Right after their On The Red Dot task on a lazy Wednesday afternoon, the housemates received instructions from Kuya regarding another challenge. However, it was a laid-back and enjoyable activity that awaited the housemates wherein they were able to show their creativity.

The housemates were tasked to make face masks which would be formed from the likeness of their own faces. Everyone was so excited about the new tasks as the materials were all provided in the storage room. Big Brother even invited a prosthetics makeup artist to assist the housemates in making their masks.

The housemates were asked to work in pairs -- a boy and a girl tandem. The girls were the first to become the subject with the boys making the masks, then each pair switched duties right after. The mask making was done in the living room to make a large space for the housemates to lie down and move around. The subjects comfortably laid down on the couch while the mask makers listened to the guest artist for the instructions.

The materials comprise pink powders, plasters of paris, and straws. First, the prosthetics makeup artist told the subjects to tie their hairs, wash their faces, and apply baby oil on their faces. While doing so, those who would be making the masks were told to dissolve the pink powder in lukewarm water and mix in a bowl using a spatula. They were able to mix a pink clay which was applied to the faces of the subjects. The whole face of the subject must be covered with the pink clay, except for the nostrils to allow the subjects to breathe.

While waiting for the pink clay to dry up, the mask makers dissolved the plaster of paris in water and mixed it in the bowl. The dissolved plaster of paris was then applied on top of the pink clay. Then on top of the plaster of paris, straws were placed to ensure that the masks will be hard. Then as a final layering, the plaster of paris was applied to cover the straws.

The masks dried up quickly, and the baby oil made it easy for the masks to be lifted off the face. According to the guest prosthetic artist, the masks will only serve as the tool to make an actual face sculpture. Since the masks had their own face imprints on them, the face sculptures will certainly have the form of their own faces. It was a great art class which the housemates enjoyed very much. At least, when our housemates leave the Big Brother house, they can leave their face scultpures as souvenirs.

On the dot

After two days of practicing their weekly task, the housemates were treated to a different game they all did together… or rather, had to do together. Big Brother decided that the housemates must learn to work as a team – and somehow thought that a big red dot would do the trick!

For their daily task aptly titled ‘On the Red Dot’, a group of four housemates were provided with Velcro-soled slippers, as well as a large red flattened circle for them to step in. Bea, Dionne, Kian and Zeke were first to step on the dot, and had to walk around together while they were stuck to the dot. After a while though, Big Brother decided to add two more, and spiced it up with a game of tag.

This is where the fun began! Each one who was tagged would join the circle, and try to catch the others as well. Gee-Ann, Saicy, Bruce, Robert, Bea, Maricris and Nel couldn’t hold their laughter as they saw a mass of arms and legs moving lugging around the house!

After securing a few of the housemates, the ones on the dot decided that the best way to move in unison was by following voice commands together. So soon everyone was shouting “Lift, Step!” while moving in one direction!

However, they still can’t seem to catch the crafty (and obviously much nimbler) Bruce, Robert, Saicy, Gee-Ann and Bea. So Big Brother issued a command: “Yung mga hiahabol, isang paa lang ang gagamitin.” The moves seemed beneficial to the “Its”, as Robert was soon touched by one of the housemates, and so was Bruce, who was helplessly jumping around on one leg across the sofas when they cornered him.

It soon became a game of stalemate when Saicy, Gee-Ann and Bea kept hopping around the table. But Big Brother intervened once again, ordering them into the much-wider garden; and Gee-Ann was caught soon after. They also got a little help from Buddy; after the dog kept chasing Bea around, she decided to give up and let herself be tagged rather than be bothered by their four-legged friend.

And then there was Saicy! She kept hopping around effortlessly, but then Big Brother told her that she could keep hopping on her left leg only. The others kept shouting “Mapapagod ka din!” as they lugged around, and after several minutes, Mickey finally grazed her arm. But when everyone was in, Big Brother asked: “Pano naman si Buddy?” Bruce quickly tagged the dog (who was conveniently standing beside him) and Zeke carried him as a victory trophy.

Saicy was then called into the confession room, and of course everyone had to go in as well. So after a minute or so of squeezing through the door the housemates finally entered, putting an end to a tiring but fun daily task!

Mickey Receives A Free Service From Nel

We remember that Mickey received a "pamper" treat from Kuya after answering a phone call. The free treat was composed of a hair cut, a facial, and a foot massage. Mickey was first given a personal hair stylist, and the haircut session was done privately. However, for his foot massage, Mickey was given by Kuya the privilege to choose the housemate who will give him the foot massage. Mickey chose Nel since Nel had a good massaging skills.

The foot massage was done in the living room with the other housemates watching. A mattress and a pillow was laid, and Nel was given some scented oil and body lotion. Mickey then laid down and Nel took control of the situation. Nel applied oil on Mickey's back, then Nel started using his foot in massaging Mickey. The began giggling as they watched Nel maneuver his foot all over Mickey's body, but Mickey seemed to be unmindful of the taunting as he enjoyed the relaxing massage.

Then Nel moved to Mickey's lower back and started stepping on Mickey's round butt. The taunting from the other housemates became louder and Mickey looked tickled by Nel's massage. Mickey tried to keep his composure despite the tickling massage of Nel's foot.

It was when Nel asked Mickey to turn around when the two boys got into a series of compromising positions. Nel used both of his feet in massaging Mickey's face. At first it was hard for the two boys to continue, but Nel assured everyone that he had clean feet. After that, Nel started massaging Mickey's chest and tummy. The girls all giggled while watching and they even talked about things which were, let's just say, appropriate only for late night television.

Despite all the funny moment, the massage session was nevertheless a relaxing treat for Mickey. Right after the foot massage, Mickey was called in the private room where he was given a facial treatment. The rest of the housemates cannot help but to envy Mickey for receiving a treat from Kuya. Will there be another surprise in store for the one who will answer the phone?

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!

Good call, Mickey!

The phone rang once again, and it was Mickey who picked it up. Expecting to have the same fate that befell the ‘Man with the Bad Tan’ Zeke, Mickey got treated to a beauty and wellness reward, Big Brother style!

The housemates were eating when the phone suddenly rang. Mickey, who answered the phone this morning only to have Big Brother check up on them, decided to answer it again. The housemates huddled up beside him, hoping to learn what consequence await this Fil-Austrian import.

It turned out to be good news; although Mickey answered the phone with an anxious look on his face, it soon turned calm when Big Brother announced that he would be getting a haircut, facial and a bonus foot massage. Despite the good news, Mickey hardly showed enthusiasm. Big Brother even asked: “Masaya ka ba, Mickey?” His reply was “Masaya naman po,” followed up by a big smile. He told the other housemates the news, and was rewarded by a barrage of “Wow!!” and a round of applause. Mickey later went outside and told Zeke, who was equally happy to learn of the reward for his fellow housemate as well.

And so the phone finally brings good tidings to a fortunate Mickey! With two housemates experiencing opposite consequences, twelve others are susceptible to this call of fortune! Who will be the next winner… or loser? Stay tuned!

Fear Factor Big Brother Style

Kuya really knows how to make the most creative out of the most ordinary things. He figured a way in which a simple dinner inside the house can become the most unforgettable one. Big Brother decided to throw a challenge for the housemates before dinner.

Big Brother gathered the housemates in the living for the Number Game. They were given a fish bowl filled with questions answerable with numbers. Each housemate was asked to pick a question and answer truthfully, with Kuya trusting each housemate in their answer. Everyone must remember all the answers given to every question, and whoever manages to do so will get to have a "special and delectable" prize from Big Brother.

Then the Number Game began with GeeAnn being the first one to pick a question. When she was asked how many fights did she have in her life, she answered four. Other questions were about shoe size, girlfriends, and cell phone number. Nel picked the funniest question which asked him of how old was he when he first had sex. The housemates were all curious to hear, then Nel revealed that he was 17 when he lost his virginity.

The housemates changed places and Big Brother began testing their skills. The housemates thought the questions would be just to remember the answers, but when Maricris was asked to add the answers of Saicy and Mickey then subtract from it the answer of Kian, the house went silent. Maricris failed to give an answer, and so other failures followed.

However, others were genius enough to get the answers correctly. Bea was successfull in adding the answers of Maricris and Zeke and multiplying it to the answer of GeeAnn. Nel, Saicy, GeeAnn, Bodie, Wendy, and Zeke all gave the right answers.

As promised, Big Brother rewarded the housemates with the right answers with their favorite dishes. They were first called one by one into the confession room. However, when after their return, Kuya revealed what was agreed in the confession room. The winning housemates agreed to share their food with the losers, but there was a catch.

There housemates were called in the dining table, and the boys were asked to get some stuff from the storage room. Big Brother promised that everyone will get a taste of all the prepared dishes, and went Zeke came back with a blender in his hand and a grin in his face, the housemates knew what was about to happen.

All dishes prepared were mixed using the blender. Zeke was tasked to blend all the food and prepare equal servings for every housemate. At this point, stomachs were already turning upside down as the housemates watched the food being blended.

Then the most dreaded part came as the food was served. The housemates anticipated some throw ups to happen, but after several bites, they all realized that the food was not that bad. Dionne, however, found it difficult to gorge the food. She eventually rushed to the toilet where she "again saw what she just ate."

It was bon appetit for the rest of the housemates. Most of them were just too starved to pay attention on what's on their plates. After their "challenging" meal, they went on to eat the "normal" food that they earlier cooked. Kuya even offered more dishes, but the housemates were already full. The dinner was indeed a success, and Big Brother thanked the housemates for being good sports.

Zeke under the heat

Australia is a country best known for its pristine natural beauty; all of its terrain, wildlife and beaches lie under a hot and bright sun Down Under. And when the phone rang inside the PBB house, an Australian answered it immediately… and got his chance to bask under a different sun!

When the phone rang, Zeke immediately acted, half-running to answer it. He found it hard to understand Kuya’s Tagalog, and struggled to figure out the meaning of ‘bilad’. So it was repeated to him in English, but that didn’t change his consequence one bit: Zeke was ordered to go outside and stay under the sun for two days. He also wouldn’t be allowed to enter the house unless instructed. And finally, he wasn’t allowed to take a shower as well!

The consequence was no biggie for the man Down Under, who’s definitely no stranger to ‘roughing it’. So on Kuya’s signal, he gleefully stripped down and stretched out under the warm afternoon sun. The girls were more than eager to help him out, and they were soon busy applying sunblock to Zeke’s pale-white complexion. The boys, who were swapping stories inside, were soon compelled to watch from the window as they heard cheers, screams and talk about ‘Russell the Love Muscle’! Zeke on the other hand, jokingly barked orders like “Miss sexy, bigyan niyo ako ng tubig!”

And so Zeke answers the first call of the day, and pays the price. But a life under the sun, with five girls eagerly putting sunblock on you constantly and tending to your every care? I’d say that sounds pretty good to me!

Singled out

During nominations last night, Bea thanked her friends and family for support, but her true feelings showed through her shaky voice and restless demeanor. Jasmin, on the other hand, couldn’t help but shed a few tears herself. So after breaking down the night before, Jasmin broke down her true feelings about being nominated.

After lunch, while the housemates enjoyed their rest time, Jasmin had a serious conversation with Bodie. The two have been getting closer and closer over the next few days, and it was only to him that Jasmin revealed what she truly felt. “Para talagang wa kang pinagsamahan sa ibang tao,” Jasmin said as she referred to herself. “Dapat kong makuha ang sympathy ng tao sa akin… pero kung ganon para namang wala akong backbone.” She also related that she was fully aware of what the other housemates think of her: “Kung mano-nominate ako dahil ayaw nila sa akin, anong magagawa ko, diba.”

Bodie tried to give some words of advice, saying that one has to adjust to the different personalities inside the house. But Jasmin elaborated: “Walang love dito; kilala kung kilala, concerned kung concerned, pero love wala talaga. Ganon naman talaga ang tao eh, kung walang love, wala ka ring mararamdaman.” She then summed up what she truly felt: “Feeling ko ang sama-sama ko talaga. Kaya saludo ako sa kanila kase grabe, almost perfect sila.” Bodie remained silent after hearing this.

After having two housemates evicted and four others nominated, Jasmin is beginning to feel the pressure of having to stay inside the PBB house. Will she decide to adjust for the other housemates, or will she continue to exude her ‘me against the world’ outlook that she’s well known for. Will Bodie be able to help her relate to the others better?

Can this be love!?

Kapansin-pansin kagabi na inaasar ng kapwa housemates sina Jasmin and Bodie..is there a brewing romance in the house? Abangan natin... :)

Fatal four

It was quite a bittersweet moment last night when the housemates, after meeting four new residents a few days earlier, had to say goodbye to two of them. Jeremy and Mikah’s personalities may be missed inside the Big Brother house, but it was Kian who was treated to an unfortunate twist of fate. After he was automatically nominated, three other housemates joined him as well, in Pinoy Big Brother Season Two’s first official nomination night.

Jasmin received the most votes from her peers. Twelve votes said she was a bit bossier than usual, and that her finger-pointing turned out to be a big issue as well. Upon learning this, Jasmin appealed to her mates in Davao, Zamboanga and Osamis, saying: “Kaya ko dito, pinapakita ko lang ang tunay na ako.”

Gee-Ann, who over the last few days expressed a yearning to leave the PBB House, may just get her wish in a week. Although she changed her mind, the stigma remained, and it reflected into five votes against her. She asked for support, but not only for herself: “Marami pa kaming maipapakita ni Pamela sa loob.”

Bea was the last to be nominated. Her five votes stemmed from the observation that she was at times insincere, and a little bossy. Her voice was shaky when she said: “To my family thank you, kase pinagdadasal nila ako.”

Finally, a new announcement was made. A large red phone would now reside inside the Big Brother house for the week. It would ring seven times randomly during the duration, and will not stop unless a housemate answers it. However, a good or bad consequence awaits the recipient of the call. Here’s the good, the bad, and the ugly:

1st call: No taking a bath for two days
2nd call: A haircut and facial
3rd call: Any one wish will be granted
4th call: A 60-second shopping spree
5th call: Recipient becomes a ‘pet for a day’
6th call: Recipient will be able to change a nominee
7th call: Recipient receives an automatic nomination

The housemates have spoken, and now Bea, Gee-Ann and Jasmin became the unfortunate ones to join Kian in the hot seat. Their fate is now in your hands!

Farewell Mikah and Jeremy

Mikah Dizon and Jeremy Hidano ended their week long stay inside the Big Brother house after the public decided to let Bodie Cruz and Maricris Dizon occupy the last two housemate slots. It was a chance in a lifetime for the four housemate hopefuls but sadly the lass from Baguio and the boy from Japan had to go tonight.

It was a grueling week not only for the four newbies but also for the 12 original housemates. Gee-Ann had to battle her own ghosts plus she and 5 other housemates had to accept Big Brother’s punishment for their violations. Her heart to heart talk with Kuya helped her come to a decision of continuing her stay inside the house. Afterwards she together with Kian, Bruce, Robert, Nel and Jasmin had to play a game of chance to determine which housemate gets an automatic nomination for eviction, a consequence for breaking Big Brother’s house rules. Nel almost broke down when he got a safe smiley card instead of Gee-Ann, who got a danger card with a bullet. Robert and Kian followed suit so the three had to play the next level of the card game. Unfortunately, Kian ended up with the bad luck gun card, which meant he is the first housemate nominated for eviction. It was a secret kept between them Kuya revealed Kian’s fate during the live episode this evening.

After that it was on to presenting the 13th and 14th housemates, with Bodie, Maricris, Mikah and Jeremy tightly holding hands for support. Host Toni Gonzaga finally announced Bodie and Maricris as the winners of the 3-day text voting. Bodie got an overwhelming 39.9% of the votes. Maricris, placing second got 25.08% with Jeremy following closely behind with 24.13% then Mikah with 11.46%. The rest of the housemates had to bid farewell to Mikah and Jeremy, who accepted their fates wholeheartedly. After quick hugs and pats on the back, Jeremy and Mikah left the most famous house in the land with their hearts full of unforgettable memories and experiences. On the other hand, Bodie and Maricris could not believe the results and are very thankful for the people who have supported them. Maricris sat on the sofa, speechless while Bodie got congratulatory remarks from the guys.

A new beginning awaits the two of them as they and the rest of the housemates face the first eviction night tomorrow. Dionne and Zeke, successfully completing Kuya’s secret housemate task got immunity with the right to still vote. Bodie and Maricris, having only stayed inside the house for almost a week also got immunity but they still don’t have the right to vote. However, Kian has an automatic nomination for eviction -- who will join him in the spotlight tomorrow?
