Rona and Jolas was the bearer of bad news and relayed the bigas punishment to the teens. Priscilla, 
Valerie and Beauty were fortunate enough to be spared from the task. The housemates had to fill 50 paper bags with husked rice and use chopsticks to transfer rice from a huge sack. The teens had to be extra careful and make sure that not even a piece would be wasted. If they do not accomplish this by tomorrow, they would receive graver punishment.
The first batch of teens was Rona, Jolas and Nicole. They gathered around the sack of rice and went to work. Although it wasn’t the next batch’s turn, Alex, Robi and 
them, rice scattered to the floor and they had to pick it up one by one with their chopsticks.
Earlier, Robi was also called to the confession room. He announced that everyone is restricted from drinking C2, Coke and eating Nissin. Afterwards, the True Blue Atenean was also tasked to empty the refrigerator and leave only water. The teens groaned at this feeling the burden of the punishments. Rona had a solution though and this was to eat plenty of chips and drink lots of water. Not sooner did she speak, did she also punctuate this with a crow. As the teens conversed with each other, Rona kept up a crowing sound which 
better matched Ejay’s and Valerie’s costume.
The clock is ticking and there are still more bags to fill. Will the teens be able to accomplish the task in time? Will they survive with only chips and water for food? What are their violations to receive these punishments? Check out this story later on Uber and be updated by logging in to the PBB Multiply Site!
After Uber, the teens still hung out in the pool, enjoying the big inflatable mattresses. Josef, on the other hand, missed out on bath time as he tackled kitchen duty and took charge of chopping ingredients, sprinkling spices and even spreading floiur on the counter. Robi and Beauty took over with a dish of their own after him. After dinner, the teens separated into two groups: one stayed inside the house to attend to their weekly task that involved RC cars, while the other practiced their group dance with Coke bandannas tied around their heads. This was for their additional task where the housemates were again divided into Team Josef and Team Robi. The two were very much into cheers and school spirit in their alma maters, being part of their respective pep squads, and their expertise would now be put to the test as they lead theor teams to do a cheer of ABS-CBN’s summer theme song: One Team, One Summer and Coke’s Ang Sarap Dito. After being together for so long, the members of each team were reshuffled and all had to re-adjust. Team Robi was first to occupy the activity area. They had already planned their routine, with Rona in charge of twirling and movement while Robi took charge of formations, transitions and the band. After practice, the teens settled down to a game of Uno, their favorite pastime since the season started.
Back in the guardians’ are, too, were Ejay and Nan. After the traditional harana and Ejay’s declaration of love, the Promdi Hottie was unsure of his next move. According to Val, he should follow his heart, which the four guys (Ejay, Nan, Daddy Erning and Daddy Ike) took to be a good sign. Odeas were thrown around, with the two elders sharing their experiences and “expertise”. Daddy Erning first pushes Daddy Ike to give suggestions, as he claims he never had to court anyone. A certified chickboy, as Ejay claimed. He was the one who suggested that Ejay give a card and rose, even acting out how to say things. He suggested that Ejay ask Valerie if he had a chance so he wouldn’t be waiting for nothing and would know where he stood with her, but the rest contradict this as it would be taking things too aggressively. Daddy Ike was more romantic. He suggests a heart-to-heart talk as well, but with a subtler theme. The technique, he calims, is to find out what she likes and do them, to attract her first. Then follow-up with a little white lie (the thought of which had Ejay cringing): tell her that he dreamt of her leaving her,and the thought was too hard to bear it moved him to tears; he didn’t want that moment to come. If Ejay would push through with it, time will tell. He and Val were up to be the next roosters and they spent time practicing a short skit. Ejay had Val laughing hard as he imitated roosters and chickens, and Val gamely followed.
If Beauty was the bridge of Nikki and Josef, Rona was the mediator/ translator of Beauty and Alex. Beauty finally confessed that she had a crush on the Italian Valentino, but tried keeping distance because she respected Alex’ relationship with his girlfriend. She hugged everyone because she didn’t want to be choosy with her treatment of housemates, but it’s different if you do it to someone you liked. Alex was obviously baffled, though, and did not really know what to say to the emotional Beauty, even if Rona was actually the one talking for her. It was quite a set-up, as all three were present and both Beauty and Alex were talking to Rona who had to repeat everything both said. Beauty (via Rona) explained that it was a risk for her to expose her emotions, because of a bad past and fear of judgment, but she chose to do so for their issue to be resolved. Alex understood the difficulty, but was still confused as to what exactly was expected of him. Rona explained to Beauty – who was then exasperated with Alex’ silence -- that not everyone was as frank as her, and that in time, Alex would speak up.
other, Kuya allowed Mommy Sandy to talk with her daughter. Nicole was left in tears after hearing what her mom had to say about her closeness with Josef. And as a resolve to follow Mommy Sandy’s wishes she and the Lasallite avoided each other’s company this morning. However, they still could not help themselves from exchanging meaningful glances.
about the situation instead of just avoiding each other. It wasn’t a very good solution and besides, their sudden estrangement would also rouse the curiosity of the other housemates. Josef, on the other hand, only remained silent all through out Beauty’s litany.
Italian Valentino’s bed. It was so loud that Alex woke up with a start. Josef gave the two quite a challenge by pretending to be not bothered by their noise. Priscilla also wanted to give them a hard time and said she would doze off once again when they stop. Ejay warned her not to and as soon as she closed her eyes, Valerie leaped to her feet and started crowing again. Priscilla promised not to sleep again afterwards.
The evolution of Josef and Nikki’s relationship was recalled. From shy teens, they blossomed in the warmth of young love, that kilig factor. If at first they were very vocal about having respective partners outside the house, they now were treading on shaky ground as they pursued their special feelings for each other. Josef admits to liking Nikki, yet loved his girlfriend. Like he said in the beginning, she was his only other half. How to figure out his tangled relationships is something Nikki would also have to handle herself. Nikki confided in Beauty about her apprehensions. She didn’t expect to like anyone; in fact, she was sure of her boyfriend before now, and she couldn’t understand herself. There were 4 questions that Nikki was craving to ask Josef. Do you like me? Since when? Why? What will happen outside? They had a long talk and even Beauty, the confidante of both teens, was baffled by the goings-on. 
Meanwhile, the Ejay-Valerie tandem was also moving towards somewhere, thanks to Daddy Erning’s idea to give 3 red roses to Valerie. The roses were “shipped” via pulley. Once set, Jolas still had to prod the Promdi Hottie to make his move. Val was crying, missing her family. Later, Ejay worried that he may have been wrong timing but Val assured him that he made her smile.

The fourth nominations are over and done with and the housemates decided to take a dip in the pool. Rona and Josef initiated the swimming break, no doubt needing to relieve the tension. They shared a dinner of sorts, with chips as the main course.
Josef was already in a pretty serious mood himself and retreated quietly to a bench. Alex came to ask help with some Filipino words, to which he obliged. Again, it was Beauty who approached the teen and got a few thoughts out of him. Beauty shared some of Nikki’s concerns, one of them the fact that Josef has been aloof and distant. Josef explained that he already gave his word to Kuya that he would respect his elders, and he wanted to respect Mommy Sandy’s sentiments, which was why he was making the effort to keep his distance from Nikki. Beauty felt it better for him to talk with Nikki, but Josef felt that distance was better at this point.
Nikki later approached Josef to share her talk with her mom. Mommy 
received the first spot on the nominees’ list. The guardians felt that since he was already well off and may miss his dad, he had no need of the win and was expendable. Tied at 10 points each, Josef and Jolas join the list. The housemates felt that Jolas was too lazy and tended to boss others around; one felt that he was a threat, showing that reality of competition was already a factor in the decision. Josef has yet to experience not being nominated. Reasons against him included offensive jokes, problems that included others, recent distance from housemates, and that he simply had not changed his ways. Rona, who got 7 votes, was in the list because of the tie. Some felt that she missed her mom too much already, that she complained a lot and may be seeking attention. All were at a loss at what to say and offered a generic plea for votes. How will the three neophyte nominees fare this week? Will the RoRo pair see it through? Will Jolas take on a more active role in the house? Will Josef change his ways on his fourth nomination? Catch up with them on
