Ejay is saved, Kevin gets nominated, and Linda loosens up

April 15, 2008 1:18 AM

Kevin, Linda, Josef, Ejay and Nikki were given the privilege to join this week’s immunity game, thanks to the efforts of their guardians. The guardians were divided into two groups to make a quilt or bedspread. Mommy My Love and Mommy Carina exchanged heated words over the task. In the Confession Room, Mommy Carina told Kuya that she had worked day and night to finish the quilt, making Mommy My Love feel that she implied the rest did not contribute enough. Mommy Carina had to explain herself, prompting Daddy John to mediate. Doc Boy, on the other hand, said goodbye as the Teen Council votes him off the house.

The teens got to choose which one they liked best and the winning team became the participants in this week’s immunity game. In the first round, which was won by Kevin and Ejay, the teens had to catch the most number of water balloons thrown to them by their guardians from behind a tall wall. The second and final round was a big checkers (or “dama”) game where the dads had to direct the moves which their sons acted on. Daddy Erning had the better strategy, granting immunity to Ejay for the week.

The immunity would have served Kevin better, though, as he now has a 50% chance of getting kicked out. He got 16 nominations, the highest any housemate has ever gotten in PBB. The reasons his housemates gave were his being bossy, his offensive jokes and his acting like he was better than the rest. If Kevin was anticipating this, Daddy John was the opposite. He couldn’t help but shed a few tears as he talked to Kuya. He shared that they couldn’t win; they could only go so far. The fact that they are here in the Philippines is already a victory. They went here to look for sponsors for Kevin’s horseback riding dream, and they got a chance to be part of PBB.

The other nominee was Linda, her second nomination. The other housemates felt she didn’t change much, still aloof and prone to bad jokes. Again, she didn’t seem affected and when asked by Kuya, she explained that she ahs already accepted that nomination is always a possibility. Still, she went off by herself after, obviously bothered. Beauty assured her she was improving somehow, a fact that she proved more when she let slip to Alex that his smile puts her in danger of falling for him. Ejay and Val share a similar moment, where the two exchange small talk and Valerie teases the Promdi Hottie about being torpe.

As the new week begins, three guardians get a special salon treatment. Mommy Carina, Mommy Sandy and Tita Anna get a mani-pedi and hairstyling. Josef, Nikki and Beauty dressed up as peacocks in exchange for this, and they cheered up the two nominees as well by leading a peacock dance. Their bead designs were very telling, though: Nikki had JE on her cheeks, Josef had NU and Beauty had KF – and the meanings of all were not kept secret.
