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! Keep your favorite housemate safe by texting BB [SPACE] [NAME OF HOUSEMATE] and send to 2331 for Globe, Touch Mobile and Sun Cellular subscribers, or 231 for Smart, Talk n’ Text and Addict Mobile.

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?
