Gentle Giant Jolas became the focus of this afternoon’s fun game on Uber. The former team captain of Far Eastern University’s lauded high school basketball varsity team, Jolas entered the house for one reason: to heal the scars between him and his father caused by his most loved game. A bad play on his part resulted to an injury during one of his games and terribly worried his father. This caused a rift between the two and led to Jolas eventually quitting the team.
To cheer Jolas up and make him reminiscent of his basketball playing days, Kuya asked them to play basketball, the Pinoy Big Brother way. Aside from playing basketball in the pool instead of the usual hard court there was also a reversal of roles – the girls will be the players while the boys will be the cheerleaders. Jolas and Ejay, who were the appointed coaches and hoops, were give their respective teams. Jolas’s yellow team consisted of Rona, Priscilla and Nicole while Beauty, Valerie and Linda belonged to Ejay’s blue team. Because of the uneven number of girls, Jieriel acted as referee to the game.
The game commenced and the first shot was made by Rona, earning yellow team a point. Nicole quickly shot yellow’s second basket making Beauty really anxious to score for blue. By the end of the first half, both teams were tied with two points a piece. Kevin, who was one of the appointed cheerleaders for blue, approached the blue team for some pointers on the second half.
The girls proved to be more aggressive than their cheerleaders in the second half, constantly diving for the ball and hanging on to it for dear life. There were a lot of miscalculated throws that ended up hitting "the hoop" (Jolas’s head). Valerie’s long limbs proved to be an asset for the blue team and soon enough the mischievous trio of Josef, Alex, and Kevin gave her the monicker "Lastikwoman". At the end of the game, Ejay’s blue team scored a total of eight points and was declared the Basketpool champions while Jolas’s yellow team scored a measly four.
Well, the excitement for the day doesn’t end here for the housemates still have to discover the owner of unidentified "explosive" in the bathroom and solve Alex’s tuli dilemma. Tune in to Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus on primetime bida for the answers to the housemates’s "mind-boggling mysteries".
