The theme of this season, as it emerged in the housemates’ experiences, was transformation. To reinforce this, the transition of the PBB house to the Big Dome was animated as one would a transforming robot, very futuristic. There were also blurbs in praise of the housemates’ creatively presented in animation. Clad in shimmering white robes, the Teen Big Four, dressed in their finery, left the big yellow house and headed towards Araneta Coliseum where their fans awaited. They were escorted by Luis and left in a special room until the designated moment of their presentation.
Former housemates John Prats and Mickey Perz opened the celebration with an energized dance number, followed by Gerald Anderson, Kim Chiu and the resident extra-terrestrial Kokey. This was followed by the teen-choreographed performance of the song Ang Sarap ng Buhay sung by Project One. Of course, this was presented by the ex-teen housemates and the house players. Aside from Valerie and Priscilla 
who were decked with wings as angels, the rest of the teens sported the classic red and white.
Kim, the first Teen Big Winner, performed once again a dance number along with partner Gerald and the rest of the cast of My Girl. The newest Kapamilya and Dream host Billy Crawford also strutted his stuff as teaser for the start of classes in Pinoy Dream Academy. The Dream mentors, headed by Ryan Cayabyab, also made a cameo.
Kuya spent his last moments with the Teen Big Four as he reminded them of their goals when they first expressed their wish to enter his house. With them, he recalled how they initially were and, with more than a hint of nostalgia, walked through their ups and downs that eventually led them to a transformation and to the Big Night --- all in a span of almost three months. Kuya expressed his pride in each and reminded 
them, in true Big Bro fashion, to take along the lessons they learned in the house and to be a good example of and to the Pinoy youth.
Finally, the moment of reckoning has come. After months of smiles, tears, challenges, failures, successes, relationships, heartaches, decisions, growing up… here they were, aptly crowned Teen Big Four. To cheers that they couldn’t help smiling at, they prepared to face the crowd. With 10.91% or 186,523 votes, Beauty was first to step onstage as the PBB Teen 4th Big Placer. Nikki follows suit as PBB Teen 3rd Big Placer, garnering 18.39% or 314,582 votes. With bated breaths, the two boys were left, almost neck-to neck, based at the tally. Robi was awarded the PBB Teen 2nd Big Placer, with 34.39% or 588,115 votes. Finally, with 36.31% or 620,934 votes, Ejay emerged as the PBB Teen Big Winner! Pumped by adrenalin, perhaps, PBB Guardian Big Winner Daddy Erning was able to lift his son several inches off the floor as they celebrate his win. Ejay took home P1,000,000, a condo unit at Château Valenzuela, a business 
franchise from Crystal Clear drinking water and a Sony Bravia plasma TV.
For those who have faithfully kept track of the housemates this edition, and for those who have expressed active support through their votes, thank you. Don’t stray and be part of the Big Reunion tomorrow night, after Goin’ Bulilit. Stay tuned for the never-before-seen moments to be shown on Uber, same time slot, next week.
An hour left before Araneta’s gates open to the Kuyanatics who are patiently – and excitedly – waiting for the right moment. Inside the PBB house, the teens are getting primped for the spotlight. Reminiscing Nikki’s hair and make-up session for the pictorials, she was now first in line for the preparations. By the time it was Ejay’s turn, the In Chick was already polishing herself and was giving tips on how to effectively remove the formal wear from the mannequins. Robi, on the other hand, was the last one in and was finding it quite difficult to settle in one position. As if savoring the last hour inside the house, he kept on walking around – to the kitchen, out the pool, sat to stare at the sala – but it was in front of the altar that he stopped and stayed to pray the rosary. 
They have truly gone through so much. In just more than a couple of months, they have grown and blossomed into the young adults that they truly are. To help the viewers make an informed decision, a short recap of their background and PBB history was presented. Toni also read a few letters from their supporters who have followed their journey to, finally, the Big Night.
Hours away from the Big Night and transitions are underway inside the big yellow house. After yesterday’s pictorial, the teens are beginning to get the hang of the celebrity status attached to the Teen Big Four title. Today, they had facials done, ensuring great skin for tomorrow’s spotlights. While the boys were giving their skin needs attended to, the girls were catching up on their beauty sleep. Goodbye, eye bags!
Celebrities as they may be outside, they still have responsibilities inside the house. No worries, as they didn’t seem to forget this. After the facials, it was straight to the kitchen for Ejay to wash dishes. The teens then shared a quiet dinner of cup noodles, and later, went on to continue their beaded accessories task.
Before long, it was time to head to dreamland. Dreams of being the Big Winner, perhaps? Robi, though physically prepared, was not about to forget his spiritual preparations and he whispered prayers before sleeping. Goodnight, housemates.
Ex-teen housemate Alex and Uber host Mariel tried to interfere with the building of the C2 Tower on Uber today. When throwing the balloons across didn’t seem to shake the teens’ spirits, the mischievous ex-housemates, who wore black robes and masks, went inside to directly aim for the tower. Although the teens tried to protect their tower, the bottle building collapsed and the teens shrieked upon seeing their hard work destroyed. Though quite annoyed with what Alex did, they still missed him and gave him a bear hug. Alex, on the other hand, zeroed in on Beauty and gave her a sweet kiss before leaving.
See who makes it to the top spot this June 7 Saturday at the Araneta Coliseum at 7:45 p.m. Don’t miss this star-studded event as PBB Teen Big Winner Kim Chiu performs with My Girl heartthrob Gerald Anderson and the rest of the superb cast! A definite plus to this event is a number by newest Kapamilya, Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 host Billy Crawford. Also look forward to exciting performances by John Pratts, Mickey Perz, the ex-teen housemates and the guardians! Who will be the next Big Winner? It’s you who will decide!
Earlier yesterday, Kuya called the attention of Beauty, Alex and Nikki because they played around with the beads and threw some at each other. They had to pick up the beads and also pick up the pace as they only had 376 made at the time. A dart game followed, a happy memory as prelude to the bittersweet eviction night. 
Maybe he had an inkling that he was the evictee, because Alex gave Beauty a souvenir as they were packing. He didn’t want to leave though, even whispered “I’m not ready to leave” at the last moment. Unfortunately, his name wasn’t part of the four. Robi, Nikki, Beauty and Alex were the chosen ones. As sad as they were to see Alex leave, they also couldn’t contain their excitement and pride as they were named the Teen Big Four. Kuya chanted the title several times until they were cheering and jumping up and down on their little colored circles. 
For those who are going to the Big Night this Saturday, wear the color of the housemate you support! Wear blue for Robi, yellow for Nikki, green for Beauty and red for Ejay. Gates open at 6 pm, but take note that children 6 years and below will not be admitted. Videocameras are a no-no as well.
All felt a degree of pride well-earned. Robi likened the feeling to reaching the summit of a mountain, when one does all that he can and eventually reaches the goal. Nikki, amazed that people actually supported her, couldn’t quite describe the happiness she felt. Beauty was swaying between crying and screaming for joy, thanking God for giving her a chance, flawed as she was. Ejay was likewise thankful, and was a true believer that “hindi masama mangarap.”
Their pride was soon dampened as Kuya immediately gave them a new task. 77 candles were floating in the pool, and they had to make sure all were lighted within 5 minutes, For every 5 candles that went out, they would lose 1 of the 5 TV’s that they could give to 5 public schools. Even dressed in their best clothes, they went into the pool and did the challenge. Unfortunately, poor planning, coordination, and lack of presence of mind topped with a huge blower overhead caused them to lose all 5 TV sets. 
Their failure was good, in a way, as they were humbled and reminded that they had a responsibility to the people outside, especially those who believed and voted for them. Kuya reminded them that they should think and act as one and prove that they were indeed deserving of the title. They then decided to give their all in each and every task. 
This morning, the teens were made to put on loads of sunblock since they were going to be working under the scorching sun. Ejay put a bit too much, like icing on a cake. Their task was to keep a floater in the middle of the pool, and stack plastic water bottles into a tower. This time, the teens thought about their moves and seemed systematic in their plans. There was division of labor as Ejay tied the floater using the string from the accessories. Beauty measured water into each bottle to stabilize it. Nikki stacked the bottles and Robi was the all-around guy. They even thought about weighing the floater down by barbells. Yet… down crashed their first tower. Will they manage to salvage this and win their second task as Teen Big Four? Watch out on Uber and Primetime Bida tomorrow!
The guardians are back and they’re arguing again. This time though they debated in good spirits over who they think deserves to the Big Winner. Each guardian was given a minute to defend the teen of their choice.
In the end, all were gathered to give their last statements. The guardians defended their pick through and through and didn’t let up until the buzzer sounded. Now everyone has said their peace and Robi, Nicole, Ejay and Beauty are seen as potential Big Winners, ask yourself this question: Who would you pick to be the example of the youth and thus deserve the Big Winner title? To further help you make your decision, catch the Teen Big Four and more character testing on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus!
After the announcement of the Teen Big Four, the remaining teens couldn’t stop talking and giggling. So high was their energy level that they didn’t even mind their meager dinner of cup noodles (yet again, since they bet 100% of their budget) and ate as if it were a feast. They them continued their exchange while lounging by the poolside. It had certainly been a trying summer and a particularly draining week. Relief and probably pride was translated into giggles and snickers. They occupied themselves with thoughts of interviews and guestings, wondering how it would be to be asked by celebrities. Would they dance? How would they answer? Will they be on Boy and Kris, or ASAP, or The Buzz? Robi was interested in seeing the AVP’s that came with each call to vote for nominated housemates. A little while more and Kuya called them in already.
They trooped back in the house, still hyped about the night’s circumstances. They all felt grateful and amazed to be part of the Big Four. Ejay seemed to like savoring the feel of the words “Teen Big Four”, repeating them even while cleaning the kitchen sink. Robi, fresh from the Confession Room, relayed his brief conversation with Big Bro. Kuya was teasing him that the season was extended yet again. Too hyper, Robi said that anything was fine with him. A plus with going out by Saturday, for him, was to be able to finally hear mass on Sunday. 
Mommy Minda looked on. His father travelled all the way from Italy to be present on this night, which was just as well as Alex needed all the support that he could possibly get. Along with a video tribute, he was also presented with a Sony Vaio laptop.
The teens would have to pop balloons and do various consequences on Uber today. Darts were scattered at the bottom of the pool which they must use to pop the balloons which contained strips of paper indicating their consequence.
Meanwhile, Kuya finally revealed to the teens that the automatic and face-to-face nominations plus the burning of clothes were all just tests of character. The housemates were all able to breathe a huge sigh of relief and danced the night away. Kuya also rewarded them with pizza for a job well-done on his tasks.
Disappointed by their lack of effort to keep their promise and their initiative to finish the task (Kuya didn’t wake them up to test this), they were then ordered to gather all their clothing and put them in a pile in the garden area. Then, Robi was made to get the liter of gasoline from the storage room. Unknown to the teens, there was no gasoline in the container. Rather, it was a test of their principles. 
It seemed like a bandwagon effect, so Kuya had Ejay, Beauty, and Robi go into the Confession Room individually. All were punished with automatic nomination since they disobeyed the previous orders. Kuya then struck a bargain with them: he would retract the nomination and give them a shot at being part of the Big Four if they would burn the pile of clothes. As much as they wanted to be part of the Big Four, all chose to stick by their principles and chose an automatic nomination rather than perform the task.
Ejay hoped to represent those who were losing hope at reaching their dreams. He also needed the money. It was truly a decision that brought him to tears, but he chose not to do it. He wanted to be a good example, he says, yet if he does that, how will he be regarded as a good example to others? Beauty wanted to do prove herself to her family and others, was willing to give up her own clothes, but would not burn the things of others. Finally, Robi was called in, where he chose to disobey Kuya’s orders. This time, he would rather go against Kuya’s wishes and go with what he thought was right. All three exited the room, obviously disturbed. Little do they know that this was test … which they all passed with flying colors.
