Robi proved he’s more than a pretty face by scoring a victory against Rona in a debate Kuya devised for the teen housemates. In the debate, the two academically outstanding housemates were each given three minutes to defend their particular stance on which sex is smarter: male or female. Clad in traditional Filipino attire, the two teens brought out their best arguments in front of their fellow housemates.
Robi was up first, stating that men were smarter since God created Adam first. Further proof of man’s intellectual superiority, Robi insisted, was the fact that Pinoy Big Brother was named after the male of the species. The housemates hooted in laughter over his unexpected argument.
Rona also took on a Biblical tack by saying that Adam was weak and easily gave in to Eve’s temptation. Rona also said that the women are slowly gaining ground in the patriarchal society, noting the growing number of professionals now competing with their male counterparts. The lass from Dumaguete so impressed her fellow housemates with her eloquent speech that even Robi seemed at a loss for words.
The young Atenean threw up his hands in frustration when he learned that he had to give a two-minute rebuttal while his opponent received some tips from Beauty who told her to focus on the main argument. The debate heated up even more as Roni 
and Rona traded arguments back and forth and brought up one fact after the other.
Kuya gave the housemates a minute to decide on the winner. After some deliberation, Josef pronounced Robi the winner for being straight to the point and delivering his speech confidently. He also mentioned that Rona had too many arguments and too much irrelevant information.
While Rona may have been disappointed with her loss, she gave Robi a hug and congratulated him on a job well done. While another exciting game ends for the housemates, something seems to be keeping Ejay preoccupied. Find out more of Ejay’s predicament on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus on Primetime.
