Jasmin gets dealt a bad hand

Despite being tagged the diskarte queen, it turns out that her diskarte earned her only a quick stay inside the house. And so Jasmin, the Davao native with a penchant for gambling, had her luck run out on her as she became the first housemate to be officially evicted.

The first ever eviction night kicked off with a performance by the Pinoy Dream Academy scholars, led by Grand Star Dreamer Yeng Constantino. It was indeed a jovial night, with the audience happily showing support for their favorite housemate. But the four nominees stayed silent for the duration of the show.

Gee-Ann was the first to be informed of her good tidings, and the tense look on her face quickly dissipated upon learning of the news. She also received the most votes, receiving 43.37 percent. Kian, who received 25.19 percent of the votes, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded when he learned that his stay was to be extended as well; and it was even better news for him, since he would be exempted from tomorrow’s nomination night as well.

So it was between Bea and Jasmin, the two who had incurred the most votes among the housemates. Bea couldn’t help but shed a few tears as she tensely awaited the result. But, like any card game, a 50/50 chance is the best one could receive; and it was Bea who received the big payoff, and 20.62 percent of the votes. And ironically, it was she who cried for her evicted housemate as Jasmin, who accepted her fate with a rather sad look on her face, quietly saying “Okay lang” to Bea as she bid goodbye to the others.

Jasmin emerged from the house and in front of the live audience with a large picture of her with the housemates, a memento of her memorable, albeit short stint inside the house. After watching a short tribute, she delivered a short message to everyone, saying: “Nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng suporta sa akin. Alam ko na this is God’s will, kung ano mang mangyayari, it’s okay, kase it’s really God’s will.” Jamin’s 10.82 percent share of the votes was not enough to save her, however.

And so this time, Jasmin was simply dealt a bad hand, and got ushered out of the Big Brother house. Who will be the next four to be placed on the hot seat?
