Kevin and Linda are nominated

It’s Linda’s second time to be nominated. First time naman nitong si Kevin. I’m not so sure kung sino ang malakas in terms of votes pero the percentage of votes form the first eviction mukhang mahina itong si Linda. Second to the last siya in terms of votes dun sa first eviction. Sinuwerte lang siya at mas mahina sa kanya si Jieriel. Si Kevin naman hindi ko sure. Wala kasi siyang kamag-anak dito. At wala din yata siyang province. At least si Linda na taga Iriga has some province votes to support her. Ang hirap hulaan pero I guess si Linda ang maaalis. Agree ba kayo?

Second week of nominations in the PBB house

After Jieriel Papa leaves, it’s now a toss between Linda Backlund and Kevin Garcia as the next evictees of the Pinoy Big Brother house.

It’s Linda’s second time to be nominated. She has a certain attitude that the housemate’s don’t like. Maybe part of the reason is her family that was broken when her father left for Norway because of misunderstandings with her mom. Will the viewers give her another chance to change and show her better side?

Kevin, the Spanish Stallion of Madrid, got the highest number of votes since PBB started in the Philippines. He seems masungit and unapproachable to some housemates. Maybe because his poor Tagalog prevents him from communicating as much as he wants with the others. Will he be the next evictee? Will the viewers save him because of his looks? Or because of his jolly dad, who’s enjoying his stay in the PBB house.

We’ll find out this weekend. 🙂

Jieriel and guardians out of the house

After a week of voting, it was teen housemate Jieriel who was the first to go from the PBB house.

Others included in the first batch of nominees were Linda, Josef, Priscilla and Valerie. In the end, the televiewers decided to evict Jieriel. Maybe most people weren’t too pleased with Jieriel’s frankness and being loud. Josef, on the other hand, got the highest number of votes.

Together with Jieriel, stepdad Gerry, had to leave the house as well. The rule is that when a housemate gets evicted, their guardians get evicted too.

Another one to leave the house is Robi’s dad, Doc Boy. Among the teen council, it was Robi who lead the housemates into voting his dad off the PBB house as he believes his dad would be able to help more people outside. Doc Boy is a laparoscopic surgeon, which is a highly skilled profession. It was sad, but it was a wise decision. After all, Doc Boy already enjoyed 2 weeks of vacation, performed the first circumcision inside the PBB house, and proved to his son Robi that family is still more important than work.

Who’s going next? See the next batch of nominees here.

Teen Missions Part 1

Haha! Hilarious! 🙂

Watching PBB Teen Edition Plus lately has been enjoyable. Lately, Big Brother has been giving the teens secret missions that are mischievous and funny at the same time. One time he requested Robi and Alex to bring Nan (who wasn’t able to join them with an earlier task as he was nursing a bruised eye due to an accident in one of their games) into the secret room and leave him there without his knowledge. At first Robi and Alex were guilty, but they instantly felt relieved when they saw the discovered Nan, spending time being taken cared of by his mom and his housemates’ guardians.

The guardians were also given their own task. They had to teach Nan some nursery rhymes so he could go back to where the teen housemates were. They taught him I’m a Little Teapot, Old Mcdonald and Eensy Weensy Spider, all with accompanying hand gestures and actions. They were unsuccesful according to Kuya, but it was fun watching the guardians sing and act with Nan.

FUNNY TIDBIT: Someone asked what ‘eensy’ meant and Alex’s mom said, “eensy, one inch!” =P

Pong Pong Galapong Alex

I like Alex!

Even if he is part-Italian who was raised in Italy, it is evident that Alex Anselmuccio is proud of his Filipino roots. I’m not just talking about him being circumsized while inside the PBB house just to feel that he is a “Filipino binata”, but the way he embraces his identity and certain cultures that come with being Filipino is truly remarkable.

Kudos to his parents who made him value his identity. It was so heartwarming to see him so ecstatic when his mom, Minda, went to their room the other day to give him a “pong pong galapong”. Apparently, his mom does this with him every night before he goes to sleep in Italy. And until now, he misses and enjoys it like a little boy would. And, not to mention, all the other housemates enjoyed it too!

He was certainly raised well. I hope he stays long in the house to show people more of what he really is.

Parang maraming hindi natutuwa dito kay Jieriel

Hindi ko gusto yung girl na short hair at paos. That was what my sister said when she saw Saturday’s episode of PBB teen edtion plus. Siyempre I know na she was talking about Jieriel. She seems to have this something na hindi ganun ka-likable. Pero hindi naman talaga fond ang ate ko sa mga kikay na tao. Pero parang from the other comments of other people, parang ayaw din nila itong si Jieriel. I can’t really pin point it. Maybe it’s her palaban and vocal personality. She was even advocating during her graduation speech to be vocal. Kayo? Ano ba yung meron si Jieriel kung bakit parang ayaw siya ng ibang tao?

Ejay and his secret

Kaya naman pala kakaiba ang itsura nitong si Ejay. May halong foreign blood din pala siya. At siyempre hindi pala ito alam ng kanyang kinikilalang ama. Sinabihan yata siya ng kanyang mga tita (mga kapatid ng kanyang nanay) na hindi talaga si Mang Erning ang kanyang ama. Isa daw itong French. Sa una ay ayaw makaharap nitong si Ejay ang kanyang ama. Ang hirap din naman kasing sabihin ang ganung bagay. Natrual na masasaktan ito pero kapag nagawa naman niya ito ay magiging malaya na siya sa kanyang sikreto. Ako rin ay naawa sa ama ni Ejay. It isn’t fair. Sa bagay, ganun naman talaga ang buhay. Ang nasabi na nga lang ng ama ni Ejay pagkatapos sabihin ni Ejay ang kanyang tinatago ay ‘Niloko pala ako ng nanay mo.’ Nakakawa naman talaga. Buti na lang at reassuring naman itong si Ejay sa kanyang ama. I’m sure natutuwa pa rin itong si Mang Erning na si Ejay ang kanyang naging anak kahit may ganitong mga rebelasyon. Dahil nasabi na ang sikretong ito, parang nabunutan na ng tinik itong si Ejay. Good for him. Hopefully nothing changes in their relationship.
