Josef, muntik nang lumabas ng bahay dahil sa Tita

Pagkatapos magvoluntary exit ni Linda, muntik na ring lumabas ng PBB house si Josef Elizalde dahil sa kanyang Tita Anna na hindi na makayanan ang pamamalagi sa bahay ni Kuya.

Ayon sa Tita ni Josef nagkakaroon na raw sya ng health problems at nahihirapan na sya sa loob ng bahay. Ang catch, malinaw ang intindi nga mga inimbitahang guardians na ang kanilang pagpasok sa bahay ay may mga kaukulang responsibilidad na kasama. Tulad na lang sa mga kaso ng voluntary exits, and sinumang guardian ang gustong umalis ng bahay ay isasama sa paglabas ang kanyang binabantayang housemate.

Awang-awa naman ako kay Josef nang malaman nya na gusto nang lumabas ng kanyang tita at masasama sya sa paglabas kung sakali. Pero dahil wala rin syang choice, maririnig na lang kay Josef na wala na syang magagawa kung health ng tita nya ang paguusapan. Although, pinasuri naman na ni Kuya si Anna sa doctor, at UTI lang naman ang findings (at medyo kulang sa tulog), na kaya namang pagalingin sa loob ng bahay ni Kuya.

Sa totoo lang, medyo nakakainis ang tita ni Josef (medyo lang ba talaga???). She should have known better dahil bago pa lang pumasok sa bahay ni Kuya ay malinaw na ang rule na ito. To think na ang daming pinagdaanang hirap ni Josef sa auditions ng PBB Teen Edition Plus tapos mag-iinarte lang sya sa loob ng bahay. Oooops, pagpaumanhin po Tita Anna, medyo unfair kasi talaga sa pamangkin nyo kung lumabas sya dahil sa inyo. Umabot pa sa punto na nalungkot si Josef at na-compare kung paanong nagresign ang ama ni Jolas sa trabaho para pumasok at suportahan ang anak sa bahay, samantalang hindi naman nagawa ng parents ni Josef na gawin ang sakripisyong ito para sa kanya.

Ngunit, subalit, datapwat, biglang nag-iba ang ihip ng hangin. Ang akala mong ‘firm decision’ ng tita ni Josef na umalis ng bahay, ay bigla namang nagbago nang sabihin ni Kuya na pati ang final four guardians ay may prize money na makukuha sa show. Aba, napatigil si Tita Anna, bigla yatang nakalimutan ang mga health problems nya at sinabing, magi-stay sya para sa pamangkin. In fairness, inamin naman nya na iba na nga ang usapan dahil may pera nang involved. Hay, medyo nakakainis diba?

In the end, happy (na sana) ang lahat. Hindi na lalabas si Josef at ang kanyang Tita. Yung nga lang, nominated naman si Josef sa next eviction night. Hala! Sige, tignan na lang natin kung anong mangyayari.

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.

Bye Megan!

Pagkatapos mailigtas ng dalawang beses, lumabas na rin ng bahay si Megan Young noong Sabado mula sa bahay ni kuya.

Sa huling pagkakataon, nakasama ni Megan si Ethel at Ruben sa listahan ng mga nominado. Si Ruben ang nakakuha ng pinakamalaking porsyento ng mga boto, kasunod si Ethel, at ni Megan, na sya ngang na-evict.

Nagkaroon kasi ng “negative image” si Megan sa mga housemates dahil sa kanyang pagiging “maarte” at “iyakin” sa loob ng bahay ni Kuya. Ito ang naging rason kung bakit paulit-ulit syang binoto ng iba’t-ibang housemates na maalis sa loob ng bahay ni kuya.

Kung may mga kaartehan man sya, hindi naman siguro nya sinasadya. Iba lang talaga ang nakasanayan nyang buhay. It looked like she really tried naman e. Yung pagkain nya ng isaw, yung pagharap nya ng takot nya sa heights (na nauwi naman sa paghampas ng mukha nya sa giant bowling ball), yung pag-aaral ng mga gawaing bahay. Indeed, PBB was a great learning experience for her.

Kung iisipin, 17 years old lang si Megan. With each nomination na nalagpasan nya, makikita nyo yung growth, kahit paunti-unti. Tumatapang, lumalaban, parang batang na may gustong patunayan. (ui, rhyme yun! …parang si Baron?) Hindi man ako fan ni Megan (I know she has a lot of fans out there), I saw how beautiful she was especially when she faced the nominations.

Kung umiyak man si Megan sa paglabas nya, ok lang…sino bang hindi umiyak diba? =) Naisip ko lang, sana pala sa PBB Teen edition na lang sya isinali ni kuya. 😉

Toni teaches Mcoy and Yayo how to swim.

When Toni went inside the PBB house, Kuya told her that she can leave after she finishes some tasks. Last Monday, Kuya instructed Toni to teach Mcoy and Mommy Yayo how to swim. Her tip: “don’t fight the water, flow with it”. Being patient to her task, Toni finally succeeded, when Mcoy and Yayo were finally able to swim without her assistance (and without a kickboard 😉 ).

Having achieved their goal to learn how to swim, Kuya gave a prize for Mcoy and Yayo. Both being parents who misses their families, especially their children, Kuya gave Yayo and Mcoy a heartwarming surprise.

Though blindfolded, Yayo was given a chance to be with her youngest son in the confession room for a minute, with lots of hugs, kisses and loving words. Mcoy, on the other hand, was made to watch a video of her daughter while she was opening the gift he gave for her birthday (in exchange for him being a “barbie doll”). As expected, both parents became very emotional with Kuya’s surprise, but definitely charged with a renewed spirit to continue living inside the PBB house.

Will, willingly loses to Riza?

While riding mini-pedal trikes, the housemates had to outwin one another in this week’s Grand Prix to be the next Head of Household.

The housemates had to finish one lap for the first three qualifying rounds.

First round: Yayo, Mariel, Ethel and Riza (winner)
Second round: Victor, Jon and Will (winner)
Third round: Mcoy, Gaby and Ruben (winner)

For the final round (3 laps), Riza, Will and Ruben were contending for the Head of Household title. On Kuya’s signal, all three of them started to pedal, but Will was noticeably not doing his best on purpose (since he was obviously good during the qualifying round). Was this to help Riza take the lead? Ruben, on the other hand, was close behind. He nearly overtook Riza on the final lap, only if Will didn’t block his way.

Hmm…can this be love? 🙂 Crush lang siguro 😉 But it was sweet of Will to give way to Riza, even if he had a strong chance of winning and enjoying the perks of being Head of Household. Sorry Ruben, naharangan ka pa tuloy.

Where’s Gaby?

The housemates woke up last Sunday to find their racer housemate, Gaby Dela Merced, missing. So, where’s Gaby?

Maybe she went to the doctor. – Mariel
—
She’s my second crush in the house. – Baron
—
A housemate: Ano na kayang nangyari kay Gaby?
Ethel: Sinundo si KC (haha)
—
and again…

Ethel: nag-race yun…
Another housemate: talaga?
Ethel: oo, sa San Lazaro

Tama naman si Ethel, nag-race nga si Gaby, pero hindi sa San Lazaro, kundi sa Subic! Yep, you heard it right, Gaby was out of the house and back on the race track…just for a day.

After four months without practice, Gaby is back to burn some tires. Due to her long break, her trainer made sure that she run a few laps first for warm-up and to get familiar with the track. In the middle of the race however, she experienced some engine trouble and therefore had to stop for a while. When her team finally managed to change her engine, the battery just had to die too and add up to the tension. Must have been very frustrating. After changing the car battery, Gaby was off to race again. And just like any fairy tale…este telenovela (eto na pala ang uso), pagkatapos maapi ng bida, sa ending sya pa rin ang panalo!

Gaby won first place, and her win couldn’t have been so much sweeter.

“I was hungry for it. I was so hungry for it. It was against all odds, yet the universe was with me.” – Gaby

But wait a minute…
…pwede lumabas ng bahay Kuya?

Jen, Hindi tanggap ang paglabas sa bahay ni Kuya

Alam naman nating lahat na na-evict na ang isa sa 2-in-1 housemates sa loob ng bahay na si Jen at Marylaine last Saturday. Kahapon medyo nasilip ko sa The Buzz yung interview ng dalawang 26k housemates, at kitang-kita naman sa iyak ni Jen na hindi pa rin niya matanggap na naalis na sya sa bahay.

Wait a minute! Rewind tayo ng konti. Nung unang araw pa lang na pumasok si Marylaine sa bahay ni Kuya, nalaman na nya, together with Donni Geisler, na 2-in-1 housemates sila ni Jen, who is a former 26k member na naalis dahil sa hindi nya makasundo ang iba pang mga kasama. Ayun na nga, napilitang makihiram ni Marylaine ng gamit kay Jen, dahil hindi binigay ni Kuya ang luggage nya. Parte yun ng kailangan nyang pagdaanan sa pagiging “package deal” nila ni Jen.

Obviously, hindi naging masaya si Marylaine. Feeling ko nga yun ding sama ng loob na yun ang naging dahilan kung bakit naging aloof si Marylaine sa simula ng stay nya sa bahay ni Kuya. Isipin nyo naman, ang hirap na ngang mag-adjust sa mga bagong kasama at sa isang bahay na puno ng camera, tapos mag-aadjust ka pa na wala kang sariling gamit. Huhu, nakakalungkot yun.

Naisip ko rin, syempre kahit papaano kilala na ni Marylaine si Jen, kasi nga nagkasama na sila sa labas na bahay, so hindi malayong kinabahan din sya nang malaman nya ang set-up na magkasama sila. Siguro naisip nya, kung hindi nakasundo ni Jen ang 26k girls, e may probability din na hindi nya makasundo yung mga housemates sa loob. Makes sense naman diba?

Anyway, forward naman tayo ng konti, nung nalaman na nga ni Jen na 2-in-1 housemates sila ni Marylaine at na-nominate lamang sya dahil sa mga boto ni Marylaine, e halos magwala sya. Well, I can say, she could come across na isang palengkera for some people. Tahimik nga lang si Marylaine nun e. Sobrang sinisi ni Jen si Marylaine for what happened.

Three things, hindi ginusto ni Marylaine na maging 2-in-1 sila ni Jen, at most definitely hindi nya gustong ma-nominate (sino ba?), at alam ko namang hindi nya gustong madamay si Jen sa pagiging nominado nya.

Eto lang masasabi ko, oo wala na silang magagawa sa pagiging nominado nilang dalawa, but for Jen to totally blame Marylaine for them being evicted? Sobra naman yun. Alam ko feeling ni Jen super gustong-gusto sya ng housemates inside, pero for her to think na ganon din ang feeling ng mga tao sa labas na boboto? Hmm…hindi naman automatic yun. Ang laki nga ng difference ng boto ni Megan versus the two girls e. This could just mean na kung hindi man masyadong gusto ng mga tao si Marylaine, hindi rin nila gusto si Jen enough to vote for them and save them.

So why blame it all on Marylaine? Nahirapan naman din sya sa set-up, if not mas nahirapan kay Jen. Kung ako kay Jen, tanggapin na lang nya ang nangyari and just focus on the good things she learned during the short time that they stayed inside the house. Yun ay kung meron nga (meron naman siguro). E mas marami pa yatang mga nanay ang kinabahan sa naughty image na ipinakikita nya sa loob nga bahay kaysa sa bumoto sa kanila e.

O sya, tama na ‘to. Kaya dapat laging tandaan ng mga natitirang housemates, bukod sa pakikisama sa loob ng bahay, boto ng tao sa labas ng bahay ang magliligtas sa kanila. So dapat pakita nila na karapat-dapat silang iboto, at karapat-dapat silang mag-stay.

Sa ngayon ba, sino sa tingin nyo ang pinakamalakas na contender sa pagiging PBB Celebrity Season 2 Big Winner? Hindi pa kasi ako makapili e, it’s too early for me to tell. Kaya abangan na lang natin ang mga susunod na mangyayari sa loob nga bahay ni Kuya!
