The first round of nominations by the housemates has passed. Having spent a couple of weeks together, it was difficult for many to have to vote out a comrade, but it has to be done. Kevin was the only one who was sure of his status inside the house after winning immunity in the first Tandem Game with the guardians. Host for the night Luis Manzano announced Jieriel as the first nominee for eviction. Linda was the next and Josef followed suit. The nominations, however, did not end there. Automatic nominations were also dealt out by Kuya, caused by a violation of the voting out procedure. House rule #9 states that no one is allowed to discuss nominations outside the confession room, directly or implied. To prove this, a video of the clear violation was shown. Because of this, Priscilla and Valerie were added to the list of first nominees.
At first, the nominees seemed frozen in the moment of revelation, stripped of the ability to reason out and react to the news. After listening to Luis recap the list, though, the reality of leaving Kuya’s house began to sink in. Jieriel and Valerie couldn’t help the tears from falling. Given the chance to plead for their spot, Valerie 
apologized for having done the violation, but what worried her more was letting her mom down. Priscilla apologized as well, promising to mind the rules next time. Jieriel’s agitation was obvious as she spoke in rapid Visayan, pleading with her family, friends, acquaintances and the like to help her remain in the house. Josef still managed to smile, and left the decision to the viewers, saying that if they thought he should still be part of the housemates, to vote for him. Linda’s speech was condensed in one word: help.
Tension inside the house will definitely go up several notches this week, as the reality of being evicted is very much evident. Even more pressure is on the first 5 nominees: Jieriel, Linda, Josef, Priscilla and Valerie. How will the housemates be able to continue their camaraderie in the house? Will they now see the experience primarily as a competition? If so, what changes will occur in their words and actions? What strain does this put on the guardians? The most important question is: Who will be the first to be evicted in Kuya’s house? More reason to stay updated.
