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.Tita Anna, who was then in the teens’ area, was told to go back. She had an earlier tiff with Mommy Carina, but was fortunately spared from giving details to Kuya --- for now. She told Kuya that she had to focus on what she was going to tell Josef. As she talked to Mommy Sandy, though, she spoke her mind of the character of Mommy Carina and even compared her to Daddy John. Her former ally against the Spanish guardian was now the one she was having trouble with.
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.Nikki and Josef were again apart. Josef deliberately went out of Nikki’s way. Beauty, in relaying Josef’s sentiments because Nikki was again bothered, told Nikki that Josef was doing this to help her patch things up with her mom. Yet, he realized that this was not the best way, so they should talk. This scenario seems like a repeat performance of yesterday, though.
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.Will Tita Anna get into another row with a guardian?
