The Teen Big Four!

Ejay hailed as PBB Teen Edition Plus Big Winner

2008-06-09T20:24:00.001-07:00

June 07, 2008 10:23 PM

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.

Teens get primped for the Big Night

June 07, 2008 5:32 PM

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.

Walking down memory lane

June 07, 2008 12:19 AM

From the moment they were officially named the Teen Big Four, Robi, Nikki, Beauty and Ejay were faced with several challenges. Failing their first task dampened their spirits, yet also sent home the realization of why they were still in the house. Being named Teen Big Four was not the be-all and end-all of things; in fact, it was just the beginning. They were able to hold the sought-after title because there were people who believed in them, and to these people, they owed living up to the expectations of being youth representatives. To show this concretely, Kuya continued giving them rasks that would test not only their skills, but more importantly, their character.

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.

In just a few hours, the teens will be preparing for the culmination of all their hard work. Aptly named The Big Reunion, they will be reunited with the ex-housemates and house players. They will also be joined by housemates from past seasons, especially Kim and Gerald from the first Teen Edition. To those lucky enough to get hold of tickets, remember to wear the color of your fave housemate: blue for Robi, yellow foe Nikki, green for Beauty and red for Ejay. No kids below 6 years old will be admitted and no video cameras will ve allowed in the venue. Araneta’s gates will open at 6 pm. See you there!

Preparing for the Big Night!

June 07, 2008 3:44 AM

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.

It is a big day indeed, as all are excited to welcome the Teen Big Four at the Araneta Coliseum. Who will emerge Teen Big Winner? It’s still your choice, Kapamilya, so keep texting to boost your fave housemate’s chances! Just text BB (name of housemate) and text BB (name of housemate) and send to 2331 (Globe, TM, Sun) and 231 (Smart and Talk N Text). UAE Kapamilyas can also participate and send their text votes to 4200 (Etisalat subscribers).

Beauty, asar-talo sa boys!

Jun 6, '08 4:17 AM

Talaga nga namang masarap kulitin ang Rebellious Girl kaya naman panay asar sa kaniya ni Robi at Ejay. Nagluto si Beauty ng pananghalian para sa kanila at binibiro siya tungkol dito. Kesyo na imbento niya ang pagkain at kesyo inakala nilang darak ito. Nagtampo tuloy si Beauty at sinabing hindi na siya magluluto para sa kanila kahit kailan. Pero matapos naman nito balik kulitan nanaman sila! Ayan naman pala joke lang kasi.

Surprise!

Jun 6, '08 4:11 AM

Sorry teens pero hindi masarap na pagkain ang surprise sa inyo kundi maraming maraming maraming C2 bottles! Nang inakala nila tapos na, naku meron pa pala. Kailangan nilang gumawa ulit ng isa pang C2 Tower. Go teens kaya niyo na iyan!

Ejay's dream

Jun 6, '08 4:06 AM

Binanggit ng True Blue Atenista na sana ay imbitahan siya ni Kuya sa PBB Teen Edition 3. Matapos nito ay si Ejay naman ang nagkuwento. Napanaginipan ng Promdie Hottie na kasama niya ang mga magulang niya sa dagat at nangingisda silang tatlo. Pakiramdam tuloy niya na sa probinsya siya maninirahan. Kayo gusto niyo bang bumalik na ang Promdie Hottie sa Mindoro o gusto niyo pa siyang makitang madalas sa telebisyon?

Flying water balloons!

Jun 6, '08 1:51 AM

Malapit na matapos ang teens ngunit heto't sinubukan nanaman sila! Bigla ba naman silang inulanan ng pagkarami-raming water balloons at ang target: ang C2 Tower nila! Sigawan tuloy ang teens ng "Kuya ano ba?" sabay tapon ng mga balloons pabalik sa guardians area. Walang katapusan ever ata ang mga pagsubok sa inyo Big Four, kaya niyo pa ba?

Go Teens!

Jun 6, '08 1:33 AM

In fairness, matapos ang isang buong araw nakaisip na nga ng malupit na strategy ang teens. Inilagay nila sa mga trays ang mga C2 bottles at tinalian ito ng string para sure na hindi ito matumba. Aba naman magandang strategy yan teens! Kulang na lang ang tore ng tower para mabuo na ito. Go go go!!

More work for the Big Four

2008-06-06T20:39:00.000-07:00

June 06, 2008 11:10 PM

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.

Mariel then sat the Big Four down and got up close and personal with them. She asked the Big Four on who their Big Winner is. Nikki, Ejay and Robi unanimously answered Beauty for they believe she is the most changed housemate. Beauty, on the other hand, chose Nicole because of her friend’s attitude improvement.

On the matters of the heart, Beauty was unsure if she loves the Italian Valentino. Ejay, however was more firm with his decision to pursue Valerie once the edition is over. Nicole, like her best bud Beauty, was unsure of what will happen to her and Josef. She would want to fix things first with her current boyfriend before deciding on the next step. True Blue Atenean Robi admitted to never having a girlfriend but was courting someone before he entered the house.

When asked what their favorite and least favorite tasks were, the teens agreed that the Philippine Air Force training and the Island Adventure was the best and the hardest. Robi added that the beaded accessories task was pretty difficult too since the materials were too small.

Mariel gave each the chance to promote themselves as the Big Winners.

Robi believed that everything he learned, he lived it out. He also did what he deemed right aside from being true to himself. Beauty was confident that she turned from her rebellious ways and everyone saw her improvement.

Ejay felt that he was also true to himself and had learned a lot in Kuya’s house. Nicole knew that she has proved herself in the house and could do a lot more outside.

All in one night!

Challenges as the Teen Big Four

2008-06-05T21:41:00.000-07:00

June 06, 2008 1:04 AM

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!

Guardian Debate on the Big Winner

2008-06-05T21:39:00.000-07:00

June 05, 2008 7:36 PM

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.

Daddy John and Shy fought for Beauty while Mommy Jinky and Tita Violy were for Robi. Kevin’s dad said that Beauty was born a star. She had the most eccentric personality and she keeps the show alive. Shy added that the Rebellious Girl wasn’t “plastic”, contrary to others opinion of her, but was just being her utmost self in the house.

Mommy Jinky attacked the argument fervently since she didn’t want to have a “rebellious” teen as a role model for everyone. Robi for her showed exemplary behavior as he was friendly, respectful and a model student among others. Tita Violy agreed to this and pointed out that Robi’s “playing safe” didn’t hurt anyone else.

In the next round, Tita Anna and Mommy Minda defended Nicole while Daddy Ike and Mommy My Love pushed for Ejay. Tita Anna believed that Nicole came out of her shell and this gradual change should be taken into consideration. Aside from being a well-mannered young lady, she learned discipline in Kuya’s house. Mommy Minda noticed this change as well and saw how the In-Chick turned from being a sheltered girl to a social person who mingled with the rest.

Daddy Ike on the other hand was a solid Ejay supporter. While the others had the privilege of education and comfort, here was a tough young man who experienced the world at a very young age. Though the Promdie Hottie wasn’t well-off like the others, he could still level with them. Mommy My Love was more focused on Ejay’s character which is being calm, being able to receive harsh criticisms and he was good to everyone.

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!

A promise is a promise.

June 05, 2008 2:17 AM

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.

The teens went back to finishing the beaded accessories in the boys’ room. After all, as they have all learned, a promise is a promise. What Kuya had in store for them in the pool, find out tomorrow on Uber and Primetime Bida!

The Teen Big Four, revealed!

2008-06-04T21:14:00.000-07:00

June 05, 2008 12:07 AM

For the third day in a row, the housemates had to face numerous trials. After the Grand Council trial and the lie detector test, they had to face a trail by fire – literally. Because they did not fulfill their promise to Kuya Primo, the teens were made to give up their material belongings. Katumbas ba ng pagtupad ng pangako ang material at personal na gamit? This was the question Kuya left them with.

An extremely disappointed Big Bro talked to the housemates to share his sentiments at their actions. Yet, another chance was given them to retrieve their clothes. They were given an hour to fish out their belongings which were scattered in and around the pool. Added to the time limit, they were only allowed to use the things inside the house and had to stay behind the blue line (which was several feet away from their things). After several minutes into the task, Alex, Ejay and Nikki accidentally stepped on the line and weren’t allowed to participate, leaving only Robi and Beauty to finish up. Despite their best efforts, they only managed to get a few items. They gathered the rest and stuffed them in garbage bags, which they placed beside two flaming drums. In the Confession Room, they were made to watch as garbage bags were dumped into them. Kuya made sure they understood the reason behind this, and also gave them a minute each to share their thoughts. Generally, the teens were sad and sorry for the loss of things which not only represented luxuries and needs, but the hard work and care that was put into it by their loved ones. Alex felt that it would have been better if the clothes were given to charity rather than burnt.

The teens then fixed themselves for what they thought was a live show. Once gathered in the living room, it was a more amiable Kuya who talked to them. He announced that no one was going out that night, and that no one was really nominated. On top of that, Kuya revealed that their clothes were safe, and that their previous task was just a test to see if they could make a stand and demonstrate compassion for others. I’m proud of you, housemates. With all the good news, the teens recovered from the heavy atmosphere and spent the night laughing, dancing and enjoying an entire pizza!

Yet, all knew someone had to be evicted. Tonight, four colored circles were used as tools to emphasize the remaining four teens. These much-coveted spots, however, already belonged to (in no particular order) Robi, Ejay, Nikki and Beauty. Alex, with only 5.07% of the votes, was the last evictee. There were less tears this time, and Alex seemed in shock still. He was escorted by Toni and he jumped (with feet- hugging, too!) into his dad’s waiting arms as 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.

Only a few days left before the Big Night! No more evictees, but the polls are still open to determine who among the remaining housemates will be hailed this season’s Big Winner. The one who had the largest number of votes accumulated from the 31st to June 7 will win the title. Be involved and actively support the teen you believe deserves the title! Vote online or text BB (name of housemate) and send it to 2331 (for Globe, Sun and TM subscribers) or 231 for (Smart and Talk N Text subscribers). Kuyanatics in UAE may also vote by texting BB (name of housemate) and sending it to 4200 (for Etisalat subscribers).

Dart and Consequence

2008-06-04T21:13:00.000-07:00

June 04, 2008 11:13 PM

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.

The consequences ranged from physical challenges to trivial questions. Alex dove under first and after three tries, he finally hit a balloon. The consequence for the Italian Valentino was to kiss the most important housemate for him. He shyly walked over to Beauty and gave her a huge smack on the cheek. Beauty and Nikki on the other hand had physical challenges as a consequence. The Rebellious Girl had to do a wheelbarrow walk while Nikki had to do 20 pushups.

Robi and Ejay both got questions which they must answer. Robi had to answer who was the friendliest housemate while Ejay had to choose who the smartest housemate was. Alex was regarded by Robi as Mr. Congeniality and Ejay awarded the Atenean the smartest housemate title.

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.

This may be the teens’ last party inside the house for they have to bid farewell to this edition’s final evictee. Catch the last eviction night later on PBB Teen Edition Plus Primetime.

A test of principles

2008-06-03T23:21:00.001-07:00

June 04, 2008 3:21 AM

During the week of their island adventure, the teens who were left in the house were visited by Kuya Primo, a leader of one of the tribes of Palawan. Their weekly task was to make beaded accessories to be sold at the Teen-dahan, the proceeds of which will benefit the said tribe. Unfortunately, the teens failed at this task. To teach them the value of responsibility and of keeping one’s word, Kuya gave them more time to accomplish the pending task. Still, they were unable to finish it. Since they weren’t able to do it as a group, they then had to make 100 necklaces each within an hour, or a punishment was in store. Yet again, the teens were unable to finish the task.

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.

Nikki was sent out into the garden and tasked to set the pile of clothes on fire. The In Chick looked at the clothes, opened the container, and went back to the Confession Room. She couldn’t bear to perform the task, and risked nomination for going against Kuya. The others felt and acted likewise.

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.

After PBB
Jun 4, '08 1:07 AM

Pagkatapos ng PBB, balak ni Nicole na mag-aral sa Ateneo de Manila kung na-enroll siya. Pinayuhan rin niya si Alex na mag-aral ng English at Tagalog para sure na pasok siya sa mga schools dito. Si Robi naman balak mag-double major ng Management at Medicine. Kamusta naman ang utak ni Robi?

Kutob ni Beauty...
Jun 4, '08 1:01 AM

Mamaya na ang kahuli-hulihang eviction night kaya naman kabado lahat ng teens. Pero itong si Beauty, malakas ang kutob niya na siya na ang top 5. Nang sabihin naman ni Alex na mukhang siya ang aalis, sabi ni Beauty na top 2 si Mommy Minda kaya maraming supporters sila Alex. Sino-sino nga kaya ang makakasama sa Big Four?

Usapang grand council
Jun 4, '08 12:45 AM

Pinag-usapan ng teens ang grand council at pansin ni Robi na hindi siya tinanong ni Linda. Mukha ring kabado ang lahat lalo na ang translator. Noong una akala ni Ejay, PDA peeps ang grand council. Si Beauty naman akala ,fans. Dagdag ni Alex, na baka sobrang galit na fans. Ano nga kaya kung fans ang naging grand council? Type niyo ba ang gimik na ito?

PDA vs. PBB
Jun 3, '08 11:03 PM

Pinag-usapan ng teens ang pagkakaiba ng dalawang programa. Type nila ang PDA dahil wala itong wake-up call at weekly task! Bukod pa dito, pinag-usapan rin ang finalists ng PDA season 1 na sina Panky at JR. At guess what Kuyanatics? Kapwa Cebuano pala ni Nikki ang 2 PDA cast. Kamusta naman yun? Matapos ito, bumirit ng husto ang True Blue Atenean. Robi mukhang gusto mo rin mag-audition sa PDA ha?

Breakfast by the girls!
Jun 3, '08 10:57 PM

For a change, si Beauty at Nikki naman ang naghanda ng breakfast ngayon. Todo alalay si Beauty sa girl bud dahil hindi pa ito ganoong marunong magtantsa. Ang niluto nila: french toast, at scrambled eggs. Not bad Nikki! Eh yung boys kaya happy sa niluto ng girls?

Bonding ni Ejay at Robi

Seryosong nag-uusap ang dalawang boys tungkol sa pagpapakatotoo. Para kay Ejay, "kung pinapakita mo naman kung sino ka, bakit ka matatakot?". Agree naman si Robi dito at pinag-isipan ang wise words.

Bukod pa dito, chikahan ang dalawa sa mga kinakatukutan nila. At trivia lang mga Kuyanatics, claustrophobic pala ang True Blue Atenista! Kamusta naman iyan Robi

What to do outside...

Jun 3, '08 3:35 AM

Ang unang gagawin ni Nikki paglabas ay pupuntahan ang family, mga pinsan, at matapos ay sa Dumaguete. Balak pa nito na mag-aral ng kolehiyo dito sa Manila. Si Alex naman siguradong uunahin ang relatives pero 'di siya sigurado kung sa Manila siya mag-aaral. Hindi pa bihasa ang Italian Valentino sa Ingles at lalo naman sa Tagalog. Don't worry Alex, marami pang panahon para diyan!

Heart to heart talk ni Nikki at Alex

Jun 3, '08 3:28 AM

Kwentuhan si Nikki at Alex tungkol sa common friend na si Beauty. Ayon kay Nikki, nag-usap sila ng best girl bud kagabi at sinabi ni Beauty na mas gugustuhin niyang lumabas si Alex kaysa kay Nikki. No reaction dito ang Italian Valentino kaya naman todo paliwanag itong si Nikki. Para kay Beauty, mas pipiliin niya daw na maging kaibigan kaysa maging lover. Ayun naman, sana lang maintindihan ni Alex, kundi tampuhan galore nanaman kayo!

Beauty, may sakit nga ba?
Jun 3, '08 3:23 AM

Lumabas saglit ang Rebellious Girl at mukhang matamlay ito. Nang lumabas si Robi, sinabi niya dito na tingnan kung may sakit siya. Feeling ni Beauty na mainit siya at umiikot ang paningin niya. Hindi kaya naduduling ka lang Beauty sa paglagay ng beads?

The housemates get another scolding from Kuya

2008-06-03T23:09:00.000-07:00

June 03, 2008 9:35 PM

Last night, the housemates went through next level of Kuya’s character tests. Everyone underwent a lie detector test and tried to answer Kuya’s questions as honestly as they could. Beauty admitted that she wanted Alex to be evicted which disappointed the Italian Valentino while watching her on the plasma screen. He even told Beauty that he didn’t really like her that much after her test. Ejay seemed to have breezed through the questions. But the results of the lie detector exam later revealed that one of the housemates was not very truthful. Who could this housemate be?

Next the teens were given the chance to sit in the Big Winner’s chair. With the label “Pinaka-nagpakatotoo”, the huge chair was placed in the middle of the living room. Kuya gave them a chance to explain why they deserved to win and that only two housemates will get the chance to sit on the “throne”. How did the housemates evaluate themselves and pick the truest of them all?

To further test the teens’ character, Kuya made it appear that Beauty, Ejay and Robi are this week’s nominees. To save themselves from possible eviction they were then tasked separately to burn all the housemates’ clothes. The three were then asked to prove how badly they wanted to win and they told Kuya that they’re willing to do anything to be hailed the Big Winner. However, they didn’t have the hearts to push through with the burning of the clothes.

Kuya then gave all the housemates another scolding for not obeying his commands. He then gave them another chance to redeem themselves by retrieving their clothes by the pool area on the condition that they will not step beyond the blue line by the gym equipment. They also must use only things found inside the house to reach for the scattered pieces of clothing. While using brooms, mops and rods inside the house, Alex committed a violation when he tried to help out Beauty. He stepped on the blue line and Kuya ordered the teens to throw half of the clothes they got back into the pool. How long will the teens endure Kuya’s tests?

Ex-teen housemate Nan, who was present at the studio, were shocked at what his fellow teens are going through. When asked if he would do what Kuya asked the other housemates, he vehemently shook his head. On his being happy-go-lucky, Nan explained that he has a serious side although often times it gets overcome by his cheerful disposition in life. When it came to the topic of love, the Junior Kengkoy admitted that he has a crush on Nicole.

Good Morning Teens!
Jun 2, '08 11:49 PM

Mukhang puyat ang teens today at bumangon na sila tanghali na! Mula nang magsimula ang season, ngayon lang walang wake-up call. Dali-daling naghilamos ang boys ngunit ang girls, himbing pa rin sa pagtulog. Ano kaya ang mga kaganapan kagabi at puyat na puyat ang teens?

When will it end?
Jun 1, '08 3:20 AM

Patuloy pa rin ang teens sa paggawa ng beaded accessories. Simula kaninang umaga, 13 na ang nagagawa ni Beauty. Si Nicole naman 15. Mukhang marami-rami pa ang kinakailangan nilang gawin. Ilan kayang necklace at bracelets ang kailangan nilang magawa para mapanalo ang task na ito?

When i was 14...
Jun 1, '08 1:06 AM

Noong 14 si Alex, may nakilala siya at ang Kuya niyang si David na isang girl. Type nila parehas ito at sabay nila siyang dinate. May panahon pa noong tinext ni Alex ang chick, ang bro pa niya ang nakabasa nito dahil magkasama sila ng girl. Mukha namang gusto rin siya ng girl dahil inamin nito na mas gusto niyang kasama si Alex kaysa boyfriend niya. Grabehan naman ito? Hindi naman masyadong messy ang pinasukan mo Alex? 3 boys na hinahabol ang isang girl? Why not!

Style ni Alex
Jun 1, '08 12:58 AM

Nang pinuntahan ng 3 housemates si Alex at Nicole, update agad si Alex kung ano ang pinag-usapan nila. Sabi ng Italian Valentino na kinukuwento niya kay Nicole ang storya ng buhay niya.

Noong 14 years old siya, may nakilala siyang babae. Dagdag pa niya, kapag gusto niya ang girl, nakikipag-joke siya dito, at nagkakatuwaan na sila. Hindi ba't ganito ang ginagawa mo kay Beauty? Ibig sabihin kaya like niya talaga ang Rebellious Chick? o baka naman love na yan ah? Alex aminin!

Kwentuhang Pinoy Dream Academy
Jun 1, '08 12:44 AM

Habang nag-uusap sa labas ang nagkatampuhang Nicole at Alex, chikahan to the max naman sina Beauty, Ejay at Robi! Mukhang enjoy na ni Beauty ang pagluto kaya naman nagvolunteer itong gumawa ng pananghalian.

Type ata ni Robi ang kantang, "Mukha kang Sofa" kaya naman pagkalabas niya, hahanapin niya kung sinong kumanta nito. Si Beauty naman ay nagtanong ng boys kung sino ang kumanta ng "Minsan". Sagot naman ni Ejay na si Ronnie Liang. Kamusta naman Ejay, updated ka pala sa PDA!

Flo-Rida parties with the teens

2008-06-02T22:36:00.000-07:00

June 02, 2008 6:51 PM

International rap star Flo-Rida pays the teens a visit this afternoon on Uber! The housemates were all ready to have a dance party with rapper and were grooving to his chart topping single “Low”. The private party soon turned into a dance class for the teens in turn taught Flo-Rida how to move to the tune of Kabataang Pinoy. The fun however had to be cut short for Flo-Rida had to leave and the teens presented him with gifts before he bade them farewell.

The teens were actually relieved with Flo-Rida’s visit after a stressful night with the grand council. The grand council, which is made up of the guardians and ex-housemates, was formed by Big Brother to help viewers determine who really deserves to be this edition’s Big Winner. The remaining five housemates faced the music and tried to answer honestly the tough questions the group threw at them. Alex had to answer questions about having a girlfriend outside the house and his relationship with Beauty while Nicole had to say her piece on her closeness with Josef. Beauty was almost in tears when she heard what Rona and her mom had to say about her reasons for nominating her fellow housemate from Dumaguete.

June 02, 2008 1:39 AM

2008-06-01T18:21:00.000-07:00

June 02, 2008 1:39 AM

Yesterday morning, the teens had to undergo a practical and theoretical driving test held by A1 Driving, who also provided a refresher course and would later grade them. Though they were coached several times by celebrity ex-housemate and pro race car driver Gaby dela Merced and had their pop car practices, the actual test was still difficult. Aside from being timed and their bet of 100% weekly budget, the eviction that night also added to the stress.

The teens were split into two groups. One group stayed behind to finish the theoretical part of the exam by labeling 30 road signs in 5 minutes. This may seem like an easy task, but with the time constraint, mental block set in for several teens. The other half were taken out to take their practical exam where they had to drive through a course, do reverse driving and perform parallel parking. Robi and Alex passed both tests, while Nikki, Beauty and Ejay did not. Ejay took this badly, since he really wanted to learn how to drive. It took him an hour to go through the hands-on driving, and even so, was just made to go down the car. Kuya tried to lessen his sadness by explaining that now may not be the time for him to learn this, but it didn’t really make things easier. To Nikki and Beauty, he explained that it was harder for him because in his hometown, the vehicle available to him was a boat. To win the weekly task, all of them had to pass both tests, and the results meant zero budget on their last week.

This was the least of their troubles, though. That evening, Nan got evicted, leaving five housemates behind. Though all had dreams of being winners, goodbyes were never easy. Nan was all smiles throughout the eviction. Such was not the case with the rest. Robi, who was saved instead, felt the loss of a fine “kapatid”. Ejay, Nan’s closest buddy, was also affected. For a moment, all were quiet in Nan’s honor.

Earlier, Robi was cornered by Kuya. Given that only he and Nan were the week’s nominees, Robi was asked who he would rather be left in the house? Nan was his choice, because he was a good guy and a great brother. Yet, when asked if he wanted to win, he said yes. Kuya felt that he was playing safe and that he wasn’t giving straight and true answers. Robi explained that he had mixed emotions about everything. Anything goes for him; it was a win-win situation. He didn’t view PBB as a contest, but as a chance to let people know who he is and to be a good example. Still, he felt that he also had a responsibility to his family and his school. Kuya bluntly told him that, in 11 weeks, he has seen the Atenean, but not the Robi Domingo as an individual. He needed to make a stand and be sincere, and do this concretely. Beauty was likewise interrogated, and despite the risk of being regarded as proud, admitted that it would be great if she could be part of the Big Four.

Emotions were not given a rest. The last nomination was held in the confession room, where the remaining teens had to pick the picture of the housemate whom they thought was least fit to be part of the Big Four. They drew lots and were given 30 seconds each to decide. All were already edgy, and this just pushed them more. In the end, Alex got 3 votes (mostly due to his lack of emotional control) and Nikki got 2 (for her minimal participation in household chores). Later, the two had issues between them, as Nikki got affected by the reasons of her nomination (by Alex, in particular) and Alex was nominated for the first time. All were in tears, feeling guilt and frustration and sadness and stress all rolled together. The nominations weren’t valid, though. It was another test of character. Indeed, the teens will emerge all grown-up after such experiences.

The teens have another week to face. They had to finish the promised accessories to help Kuya Primo’s tribe by Monday. Flo Rida is dropping in, too, and hopefully that would be a happy break.It’s open nominations. Keep those votes coming in! Remember that it’s YOUR vote that decided who gets in the Big Four and who becomes the PBB Teens Plus Big Winner.

Nicole and Alex settle their misunderstanding

2008-06-01T18:17:00.000-07:00

June 01, 2008 2:59 PM

Since last night, Nicole and Alex weren’t in speaking terms. The In-Chick from Cebu seemed to be confused with her friendship with Alex. One moment they were in good terms and the next, the Italian Valentino would nominate her.

This morning, Nicole decided to thresh out her issues with Alex who agreed to open up to her. The soccer player admitted that he didn’t like Nikki then. But since they had the practical driving weekly task, he realized that enjoyed her company much especially in the car. He even revealed to Nicole that he lost sleep over this.

Nicole on the other hand thought that Alex was pretentious before. As the two discussed the root of their misunderstanding and finalized their solution to this, they ended with warm tears and hugs. The other three housemates, Beauty, Ejay and Robi, joined the other two and fell into a group hug.

All then went back to the house to finish on their bead task. What are the conditions to this new task? Did the teens even succeed in their practical driving and written exam? To know the answers to these, check out Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus!

Once again it’s open voting time! You will decide who makes it to the Big Four. Text BB (name of housemate) and send to 2331 (Globe, TM, Sun) and 231 (Smart and Talk N Text). UAE Kapamilyas can also participate and send their text votes to 4200 (Etisalat subscribers).

Nan says good-bye to the housemates

2008-06-01T18:15:00.000-07:00

May 31, 2008 10:51 PM

It has been another rollercoaster ride this week for the housemates inside Kuya’s house. After learning road rules and how to properly drive through the guidance of ex-celebrity housemate Gaby dela Merced, the teens met another friend of Kuya’s. Matanglawin’s Kim Atienza repeated the task he did during the first teen edition by introducing the housemates to different animals and conquering their fears towards the creatures. The week ends with a happy note, with Beauty and Nan reconciling their differences after a tumultuous face-to-face nomination night.

Although everyone was all smiles upon seeing Toni’s face on the plasma screen tonight, once can feel that the teen were with heavy hearts for another friend is about to leave the house again. When Toni called out Robi’s name as the saved housemate, Nan jumped up from the sofa and knew that the time for him to say good-bye has come. He gave all the housemates a tight hug each and headed for the door. The Junior Kengkoy smiled all through out the ordeal, telling the others that everything is just alright. Luis then escorted Nan to the stage where he gave a huge leap towards his mom and sister. Nan got a total of 22.96% of the votes while Robi got 77.04%.

The housemates are now down to five and this is the time to vote for your Big Winner. Voting is now open so go and choose the housemate who deserves this edition’s top spot. Text BB (name of housemate) and send to 2331 (Globe, TM, Sun) and 231 (Smart and Talk N Text). UAE Kapamilyas can also participate and send their text votes to 4200 (Etisalat subscribers).

And as if things aren’t interesting enough, Kuya sends in another special visitor this Monday. Don’t miss Uber’s special episode this June 2 for international rap artist Flo-rida makes a surprise visit to the teens.

No Spill Driving

2008-05-30T01:25:00.001-07:00

May 30, 2008 1:48 PM

In preparation for their weekly task performance, the teens went through a challenging task, “No Spill Driving”. Each housemate had to drive and park the go-kart from the confession room to the prayer area. A twist to this game was a glass of water placed atop the hood of the go-karts. The teens would have to keep water from spilling as they drive by humps.

Beauty jumped in the car first and was left hanging in the humps. As she tried to maneuver the go-kart over the obstacle, water spilled on the floor. This case could be said of Alex and Nan who experienced the same trouble. When Robi had his turn, he strategized and drove barefoot. Fortunately for the True Blue Atenista, he went over the humps and parked the go-kart without difficulty. Ejay, who started off weak this Monday, was able to drive the go-kart easily without any problem.

Kuya noticed that the water was still almost filled to its brim. He then decided that the winner would be the fastest driver. He called Ejay’s name to the Promdie Hottie’s surprise, and announced him as winner, driving only in 55 seconds.

With this pretty tough challenge, the teens are confident to conquer their well-prepared weekly task. Will these practices be enough for them to win or would they lose the 100% bet and resort to a measly budget? To see the teens’ practical driving exam, catch Uber later with Mariel!

Two more on the line

2008-05-30T01:25:00.000-07:00

May 29, 2008 11:18 PM

Yesterday, Nikki was ready to be evicted yet was first to be saved from it, at least for now. Robi was next, thankful at being given another chance. This left Valerie to take her turn in exiting the yellow house, which she exited with grace and charm. Ejay cried his heart out to Kuya, in a daze and trying to convince himself that it was all just a bad dream.

Nikki was certainly making the most of the chance awarded her, and eagerly took on the task of being the lone traffic enforcer. Even while eating, she quickly caught the slightest violation and blew her whistle several times, dispensing tickets and traffic reminders. Meanwhile, Beauty and Alex gave been sharing a lot of sweet moments in the house. The lone couple left, it seems their relationship has been given an extra boost. From hugs and sweet nothings, they gave already gone as far as exchanging "I love you’s". Hmm… where is this heading? Is this brought about by proximity and the near end of it, or will this go beyond the Big Night? This closeness, however sweet, could be questioned when their nominees were revealed.

Nomination was done face-to-face again, this time by the three who were excluded from doing it last time: Alex, Ejay and Beauty. Ejay nominated Alex and Robi. He felt that, of the guy housemates, he couldn’t bond with the first. The latter got 2 points because of his seriousness and because of the fact that, even if he got booted out, he still had the means to fulfill his dreams. Beauty was all apologies to Alex and Nan, her 1 and 2, respectively. Alex was too emotional, she thought, and she had a difficult time understanding him. Nan, still happy-go-lucky, seemed unable to handle a more serious situation. Alex, too, gave Beauty two points, because she had continuously offended him by teasing him that he was gay, and because she wasn’t in need of the prize. For her hot-headedness, Nikki got his 1 point. At the end, Robi and Nan, receiving 5 and 4 points respectively, were nominated for this Saturday’s eviction.

Skipping Rope with a twist!

2008-05-30T01:24:00.000-07:00

May 29, 2008 10:04 PM

Sports and games are never the same in Kuya’s house. Even skipping rope had to be done with a twist. The teens had to skip rope while holding a glass of colored water. The housemates had the same groups as yesterday and Kuya told them that each member to the team must try to skip rope without spilling to much water.

Beauty tried to jump in once Ejay and Nikki started to turn the ropes but the glass constantly trembled in her hands and water spilled on the floor. When Nicole’s group had their turn, she held the glass confidently and skipped rope with rhythm and grace. Which team will conquer the game this time?

Also on Uber, former housemate Valerie was interviewed by Mariel. The Dazzling Doll admitted that she never expected to receive admiration like Ejay’s.
The Promdie Hottie apparently wallowed in misery when his love interest left the house last night. When asked if Valerie would give him a chance when he courts her outside the house, she hesitated and was completely undecided. Ejay is important to her but romance wasn’t her top priority. She revealed her future plans on staying in the Philippines and possibly entering showbiz. Like Rona, she counted in Robi, Ejay and Nan in her Big Four. A new addition to this list however was Beauty.

The teens make their votes

2008-05-29T02:25:00.003-07:00

May 29, 2008 1:56 PM

As soon as the teens have gone through their morning routine, each was called into the confession room. Beauty went in first and her bothered look said it all. She seemed to be troubled on whom to give her points to. Robi soon followed and his stoic expression contrasted Beauty’s. He nodded in understanding to Kuya’s instructions and then placed his votes. Who did these two vote? Would their choices be up for nominations tonight?

Though tonight would another be a tension-filled event, the teens didn’t let this affect them. These thoughts were set aside for the meantime as everyone grabbed their handouts and reviewed for their weekly task. If there were graphics in the handout, Beauty believed that it would help her a lot in studying. Robi on the other hand gave Nicole tips on practical driving. Everyone seemed intent on winning and showing teamwork and sportsmanship.

One more day and the teens would again be judged on their weekly task. In a few hours, the 7^th set of nominees would finally be revealed. Stay tuned to the PBB Multiply Site and catch Uber for more of the final 6’s!

Taking a breather

2008-05-29T02:25:00.002-07:00

May 29, 2008 3:39 AM

At the announcement that it truly is Valerie who would be evicted, the teens reacted with minimal shock. In fact, even Valerie was calm about the entire situation. With the Big Night only a bit more than a week away and the fact that they were really too many for the number of finalists, “the end” was something more concrete and acceptable for all. Compared to the first few weeks, the housemates now are generally more interested in making the most of their remaining time and enjoying every activity and bonding moment. Truly, the PBB experience is for the select few, and something that is worth the while.

The teens were too emotionally drained, perhaps, that they lazed around the living room and spent time talking about general things. Nikki admired Beauty’s jeans and joked about getting it instead, but “finder’s keepers” was Beauty’s reply. Nicely-fit jeans are hard to find, after all. As snug as the jeans were on Beauty, so was the hug she shared with the Italian Valentino before heading off to bed. The only couple left at the house, they lingered by the doorway in an extra-long hug, compared to the ones they exchanged with the other housemates. Nikki saw this from the door, which was slightly ajar, and waited for the two to finish. The two pulled away, but resumed after a few minutes, as Alex went back to their room and met Beauty for another squeeze.

Dazzling until the end

2008-05-29T02:25:00.001-07:00

May 29, 2008 12:13 AM

Today is Beauty’s 17th birthday, and close buds Nikki, Robi and Alex have been planning a special celebration for days. They struck a deal with Kuya where they had to win a game in exchange for Beauty’s celebration. The teens had to go through an obstacle course where they rolled in darak or pigs’ food, and fortunately, the trio won. They went about preparing the surprise beach-themed party, irritating the celebrant no end as she couldn’t figure out what the big secret was. Kuya gave his special contribution when he called Beauty in the Confession Room while the others prepared her party outside. Since Nikki had already informed him that Beauty missed her nieces, Kuya already had a taped message from them to kick off Beauty’s special celebration. After, Nikki and Val escorted her to the poolside, where the others greeted her and later offered their birthday wishes for the Rebellious Chick. Alex came in bearing a chocolate cake, dressed in a make-shift Kapitan Boom outfit. To the strains of their fave song, the couple danced right there, to the cheers of the other housemates. Ejay and Valerie followed suit, which was just as well as it proved to be their final dance, at least for now.

With 27.82% of votes, Valerie was the unfortunate housemate to leave the house. Truly the Dazzling Doll that she was, she remained calm and collected, readily greeting the crowd with smiles and waves. Luis escorted her onstage where her Tita Violy was waiting. Valerie shared that her experience in the house was fun and happy, and that she was still determined to learn the native language. Once the video scrapbook that recalled her moments in Kuya’s house rolled, Val couldn’t help but shed tears.

Inside the house, Ejay was in denial as he numbly went through the actions, tears streaming down his cheeks. The others were quite resigned to the fact that all were going to leave eventually, and solemnly brought Val to the door earlier. Their number is dwindling fast now, and two more teens are in danger of being evicted. Nikki, who garnered 30.68% of votes, and Robi, who got 41.50%, can rest easy tonight. Tomorrow is a different story.

Modified Water Polo on Uber!

2008-05-29T02:24:00.001-07:00

May 28, 2008 10:09 PM

The teens were introduced to a modified water polo game on Uber today. Instead of using their hands and heads to make a score, they could only use their head, cheeks and feet. Also, there would be no goalie and they would just have to make the most of their players to block off the opponents’ ball. Valerie replaced Ejay as referee since she has her monthly period. Team 1 was composed of Robi, Beauty and Alex while Team 2 included Ejay, Nicole and Nan. When Valerie threw the soccer ball in the air, Alex immediately did a header, using his football knowledge to his team’s advantage. After struggling with the ball for a while, Robi finally scored for his team. Would Ejay’s team be able to score before the buzzer sounds?

Meanwhile, Ejay seemed to be stressed because of Valerie’s problem with the girls. The Dazzling Doll confided to him that since her best buds Rona and Priscilla left, she started feeling out of place with Beauty and Nicole. The concerned young man tried to explain Valerie’s sentiments to Beauty. The girl from Dumaguete defended herself though and said that she has tried to reach out to Valerie a couple of times already. Later, Nicole commented that the reason for the gap could also be their lack of things in common.

Beauty then tried to draw Valerie in by initiating a heart-to-heart talk. Valerie seemed confused that Ejay was meddling in her problem with the girls but she shared her thoughts about her growing relationship with the Promdie Hottie. Talking about Ejay drew the two closer.

Tonight is the night! Who will be the next to leave Kuya’s house? Would it be Robi, Nicole or Valerie? See who makes it to the final 6 plus Beauty’s birthday surprise later on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus on Primetime!

Teens sharpen their driving wits and skills

2008-05-28T02:03:00.003-07:00

May 28, 2008 1:44 PM

The teens are roused with their wake-up call reminding them of Beauty’s and Priscilla’s birthday. The Rebellious Girl is now all of 17 years and she’s thrilled with the prospect of being a bonafide adult soon. Robi and Alex greeted former housemate Priscillia, in hopes she would see their effort. Also, Beauty mentioned that she never had a birthday party since she was 4. Would Kuya throw a bash for the Rebellious Chick?

Meanwhile, all are dead set to win their weekly task. Nicole was tasked to be the traffic enforcer for the day and she is determined to strictly implement the rules. The boys on the other hand, picked up their go-karts in the storage room and quickly set this up. They encountered a teeny problem though; their go-kart doesn’t seem to work. Each housemate had their own theories about it, whether it was low battery, or the red wheels are just plainly dysfunctional. Nan figured out the problem and plugged the car in the electric socket to give it life.

Robi jumped in the red go-kart and steered his way down the house. Alex and Nan then gave a go at it and enjoyed their ride. Since the boys were enjoying their toy too much, the girls made their time productive and reviewed for their written exam. Each soon had their turn and all diligently practiced and mindfully obeyed traffic rules. It seems like betting 100% of their budget is worth it after all.

Sad thoughts

2008-05-28T02:03:00.001-07:00

May 28, 2008 4:00 AM

Birthday girl Beauty lamented her upcoming day. Oblivious to the preparations the other teens were planning for her, she washes clothes on her lonesome and voices out her thoughts: “Kawawang Beauty. Birthday ko pa naman bukas, kahit walang handa, sana naman… I don’t know…” Beauty had already shared her wish to spend her birthday in a small celebration with the other teens, especially since she hadn’t had a really special birthday since she was four. The usual routine was that she would be given money, a few dishes and that was it. This time would surely be special, especially as she was in the PBB house. She would, after all, be celebrating with the entire PBB community worldwide!

Valerie entered the girls’ room and shared her exasperation with Ejay. The two were just talking a while ago when Ejay started to ask her a question, then stopped halfway through it. Despite her urging, all the Promdi Hottie could come up with were a few mumbled words and “basta”. Nikki suggested she talk to Ejay and share her thoughts, but Val said she already tried that. Beauty suggested that Val scare him, that she won’t talk to him. Val explained that she tried that one, too. In fact, she threatened to go to Kuya when he refused to tell her the rest of the question. The funny part was, Kuya suddenly called for her at that moment, which rattled Ejay more. Already at a loss with how to handle Ejay’s angst, Val decided she didn’t want to spend her remaining days worrying about Ejay, instead enjoy it with everyone else. Beauty agrees, saying that the problem is with Ejay already, and that the solution can come from him alone.

Valerie ups the conversation, asking Beauty if she can imagine herself with Alex. Surprisingly, contrary to her emotions after their special dinner, Beauty said that she can only see them as best friends. Despite the many moments she had shared with Ejay, the Dazzling Doll claimed she cannot find love in the PBB house. It was too stressful that she cannot fall in love there. She is surprised at how emotional the boys get. Though both were sincerely touched by the boys’ gestures, falling in love and entering into anything serious was quite a long way off. Will Valerie be able to share these thoughts with Ejay? Will Beauty give in to Alex’s proximity?

Drifting, driving and brake

2008-05-28T02:01:00.000-07:00

The teens woke up to sounds of cars driving past followed by the intro of the Tokyo Drift theme. In a few minutes, they were dancing and revved up to find out what was in store for them. Nikki and Nan both guessed that it had something to do with driving, and Nan roused Ejay’s interest by telling him about go-carts, a new concept to the Promdi Hottie. True enough, the teens found their house covered by roads and traffic signs, complete with a working traffic light. Robi and Nan were tasked to be the first traffic enforcers, and clad in blue uniforms, they managed the human traffic with a smile and a dance. For their weekly task, everyone was supposed to pass their written and practical exams, a preparation for the time they finally apply for their license. They better do well, since they bet 100% of their allowance on it!

The teens then headed to the activity area, where they were surprised with the sudden mini race-track, and a car running circles around it. But what really had them running was the fact that Gaby dela Merced, former housemate and driver extraordinaire, would be their driving instructor. Very patient and encouraging, Gaby made each teen feel at ease. The teens were shown the proper sitting position and the mirrors and the proper way of driving a manual. Gaby reported them to be open-minded and fast learners. In the house, though, the boys still couldn’t get over Gaby’s prowess at driving… and how her hair flowed as she was drifting. Hmm.

The teens had another game and each was given a special gift, some more personal than others. Alex got a soccer ball, Beauty got an entire chocolate cake, and Nikki got a dress. Nan and Robi had moments with their siblings, and both were very happy. Robi’s bro, Maro, reminded his kuya that he was proud of him and missed him. Same was true for Nan’s two sisters. Ejay got the coveted 100 seconds with Mommy Josephine. So overwhelmed was he that he went to Valerie to share right after. Valerie, on the other hand, got a framed pic of her and her dad. Missing her dad has always been a touchy subject for Val, and she was in tears as she declared it to be the best gift ever.

Beauty wins another game, and her prize is a special moment with Alex, orchestrated by Kuya. Alex was supposed to make her a poem in Filipino, only he couldn’t seem to organize his thoughts, much less translate it. With Robi’s help, though, he finally finished it and had time to dress up. Robi attempted to distract the others, but they could see through him; after all, he was really bad at lying. Eventually, Alex and Beauty were in the secret room decorated to be a mini-prom, with a bouquet of flowers and candlelit settings. The Italian Valentino read his poem and they hugged a lot. When they finally went back to the house, Beauty was overwhelmed that she blurted out, “I think I’m in love,” which scared the other two girls. Asked by Kuya if she meant it, she said not, but she really appreciated the gesture. Alex’s response to Kuya was that Beauty was more than just a friend. He recalled how he’d always look for her and appease her. That evening, Beauty admits to Nikki that she feels something for Alex, but is bothered since he has a girlfriend outside, and she didn’t want to hurt anyone.

Soon it will end

After the live and rattling nominations, the teens attempt to get back to their normal routine. Ejay and Nan take charge in the kitchen, though Nikki and Beauty were not in the mood to eat. The girls scarfed on ice cream, though, and later retreated to their room once again. Valerie seriously felt that the two were too close to the point of shutting others out, so this time she was included in the girls’ exchange. Beauty notices that, unfortunately, the fewer they become, the farther they go from each other. This is probably a manifestation that the pressure of being pitted against each other, even in a small way, brings.

Beauty was feeling bad about her upcoming birthday. Despite (or maybe even because) of the nearing Big Night, she fervently wished that her birthday this year be special. After 4 years old, she claimed, she never had another complete birthday. She was just given some money, cake and food, but what she really wanted were memories to cherish. Little did she know that the rest of the teens were really preparing something special, with Kuya’s help. Nikki led the group and everyone tried pitching ideas. For this, she approached Alex and Robi to prepare.

Nikki, who also told Kuya is that she’d rather have face-to-face nominations, had issues with Robi, and she relayed this to Beauty, who seconded her points. Both felt that Robi didn’t listen to others and thinks he is responsible for everyone. He also apparently imposes his ideas and expects that it should be followed. Valerie also talked to Robi after he came back from the Confession Room, and was trying to convince him not to give up. “Soon it will end,” assured the Dazzling Doll. Several times nominated would get someone thinking hard, no doubt. “There’s a fine line between giving up and giving others a chance,” said Robi. He was seriously contemplating which move would be for the benefit of “the greater good”. He didn’t want to think of PBB as a contest, yet it was getting harder to do so. Stay or go?

Only three more days before eviction and another nomination. Only three more days before saying goodbye to Robi, Nikki or Val. Stick around and make a stand. Cast your votes for the housemate of your choice. Vote online or text BB (name of housemate) and send it to 2331 (for Globe, Sun and TM subscribers) or 231 for (Smart and Talk N Text subscribers). Kuyanatics in UAE may also vote by texting BB (name of housemate) and sending it to 4200 (for Etisalat subscribers).

Harapang Nominasyon! ..kaso apat lang!

Kuya takes responsible nominations a notch higher: face-to-face nominations, no more blindfolds this time. The remaining housemates were made to pick a number from a bowl. Only those who picked the numbers 1-4 will openly reveal their nominees and their reasons, again without changing the original choices they made earlier. Nikki, Nan, Val and Robi were unfortunate enough to pick numbers 1-4 respectively, while Alex, Beauty and Ejay got the remaining numbers that allowed them to stay silent.

Nikki nominated Nan and Val. She felt that one point wouldn’t do much against Nan and Val’s two points were nothing compared to the good life waiting for her outside. So were Nan’s reasons for giving Val one point, while Robi got his two points because Nan felt the Atenean had changed. Val nominated Beauty and Nikki because she felt the two were too close that they made it difficult for others to relate to them. Robi gave a point to Nan, whom he felt would not be in danger of nominations, and Ejay, considering his dad already won as the Guardians’ Big Winner.

All votes considered, only three were nominees remained. Nikki and Val both got 5 points, and Robi followed at 4. Asked why they should be saved from evictions, Nikki said, "Marami pa akong kayang patunayan. Marami pa akong dapat gawin. At nandito pa si Beauty." Robi reasoned that "marami na akong napatunayan at kaya pang patunayan". Valerie, obviously flustered as she rambled on, was concerned that she still needed to study her Tagalog and would want to enjoy her time.

The Big Night is set for the 7th, and things are getting hotter and hotter within the house. The sched of the remaining three eviction nights: May 28, May 31 and June 4. Mark your calendars and be right in the middle of the action! Which housemate will say goodbye? It’s your call!

Polls are now open, and Nikki, Robi and Val are on the line. Take your pick of the deserving teen and start voting! Vote online or text BB (name of housemate) and send it to 2331 (for Globe, Sun and TM subscribers) or 231 for (Smart and Talk N Text subscribers). Kuyanatics in UAE may also vote by texting BB (name of housemate) and sending it to 4200 (for Etisalat subscribers). For a more informed vote, check out the official PBB blogs and website regularly!

The “Big Night” Confusion

2008-05-25T18:17:00.000-07:00

May 25, 2008 2:10 PM

Early this morning, the boys discovered their furniture missing. The sofa and the altar particularly were not where it used to be. Robi then wondered what this could all mean and what events would take place today. Junior Kengkoy Nan speculated that today could probably be their last day since the staff seemed to start emptying the house in preparation for PDA. Alex on the other hand further proved this theory by telling them his dream about all of them leaving the house.

These speculations and sentiments were soon shared to the girls. Since the Guardian Big Night was already held last Sunday, they assumed that today would be theirs. The thought of the evictions then prompted Nicole to think that she felt that she would be the first evictee. Beauty, who was still worried about committing two violations, strongly felt that she would be a force evictee tonight. Valerie was levelheaded with this matter and subtly reminded them that they shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Aside from this, they could never really guess what Kuya’s plans are.

To add to this growing anxiety, all lights were shut off and had the girls screaming. Nan commented that if Rona were there, she would freak out in the dark. All thought they would be viewing a movie but it seems that Kuya had other plans in mind.

What are Kuya’s plans for the housemates? What happened to the missing furniture? Would the usual nomination push through tonight or would there be other events that would take its place? Stay tuned to Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus as the season is reaching its finale!

Teens are back?

2008-05-23T21:01:00.000-07:00

May 24, 2008 4:21 AM

The teens were back in the house after several days out in the wilderness. Aside from their Island Adventure tasks, they also had to finish their weekly task of 1,000 teen-made accessories. Except for the excited murmuring and recap of adventures, it seemed it was business as usual in the PBB household.

The season has been extended several times already, and even without a calendar in the house, the teens also felt the stretched time inside. Kuya had the teens undergo a routine check-up, just to make sure all was a-ok with their health. It was a good thing he did, too, because Beauty had hemorrhoids and she might have to have a soft diet (which she dislikes!) for proper observation.

They went and broke into little groups as they waited fro their turn. Valerie and Robi sat by the pool talking about Ateneo and Robi;s brother Maro. Robi missed his bro already and fondly shared how he and his brother sleep together at night. Talk drifted off to the Ateneo, and full of pride, Robi gave an overview of his school. Beauty joined in and complained about her hemorrhoids, which Robi said can be operated quickly by his dad. But nope, no operations for the shuddering Beauty. Nikki followed the group and joined in the conversation. They noticed the way Rona counted everything, from pimples to scoops of rice. After, they recalled how they became part of PBB in the first place. A funny anecdote about Alex was shared by all: During his auditions, he barely knew the native language. When asked by Nikki how he passed, the Italian Valentino’s reply was: “Look at me!”.

Seems like the teens are bonding again, but with another weekend coming up, are they ready for the possibilities? Who between Rona and Robi will be saved? Who will be up next for nominations? There’s still time, so cast your votes for Robi and Rona. Vte online or text BB (name of housemate) and send it to 2331 (for Globe, Sun and TM subscribers) or 231 for (Smart and Talk N Text subscribers). Kuyanatics in UAE may also now vote by texting BB (name of housemate) and sending it to 4200 (for Etisalat subscribers). Don’t miss tomorrow’s live sjow on Primetime Bida!

May 24, 2008 4:00 AM

The first four teens were exhausted after their trek back from saving Valerie that they had no trouble falling asleep. So deep in slumber were they that they didn’t notice five more teens joining them and sleeping beside them. The latecomers Robi, Rona, Nikki, Alex and Mikan even woke up earlier, and shook the others awake. After a cheery – and quite loud (thanks to Beauty’s trademark squeals) – welcome, the latecomers proceeded to greet Kuya in the Confession Room. Since they had to go up a tall ladder, Mikan opted to stay on the ground, for fear of causing the tree house to crash. Kuya wouldn’t have it though, and asked “Wala ka bang tiwala sa ‘kin?” The next moment had Mikan bumbling up the creaky bamboo ladder to greet Kuya as well. Fortunately, all were able to go down in one piece, just in time to brush their teeth – the native way, of course!

Next, the housemates were divided into two groups: the original 4 and the latecomers. For the grand prize of toothbrushes and toothpaste, they had to save Mikan who was floating around a few miles off the shore. They had to create a sturdy raft, which tried all their survival skills training, using available materials such as bamboo and tree branches. Ejay even climbed the tree to get some of these. Then, they had to dig the sand so they could launch their rafts, and ride it all the way to rescue Mikan, and back. Despite being new to the island, the latecomers’ team won this task!

Next up was the ‘make your own mermaid’s tail” task. The teens were paired up and the boys had to make a tail of sand for their partners. Halfway through the game, Rona screamed as she felt something biting her. Turned out to be a false alarm, but it also ended the game as Mikan, who served as the referee/timer/ judge, put his arms down. Ejay and Val won the challenge and the other teams – Nan-Rona, Robi-Nikki, Alex-Beauty – were happy for them.

The most interesting task yet was when they were sent to search for certain figures (the Holy Family, Sharon Stone, and the giant mushroom) n the rock formations found inside the renowned Puerto Prinsesa Subterranean River National Park. This proved to be quite easy and more of a tourist-y experience, since they were accompanied by Mang Toting, the most requested tour guide of the underground river. Various trivia was dispensed by him, and all were in awe at the natural wonders around them. Robi was really excited as it was his first time. Rona couldn’t help but gush about how rich the Philippines was to have such a treasure. Ejay, too, was struck by the natural stone formations. Mayor Edward Hagedorn talked about Puerto Prinsesa, and proudly announced that the Puerto Prinsesa Subterranean River National Park was nominated to be part of the "New 7 Wonders of the World”.

Last hours in the house

2008-05-23T20:54:00.000-07:00

May 23, 2008 1:45 PM

Two days of endless karaoke sessions and movie watching, and the guardians are satisfied with their short vacation. A new addition of guardians, Daddy Erning and Mommy NingNing went in last night and joined in the fun. Though they enjoyed their stay in Kuya’s house, all are excited about the teens’ arrival and the outside world. Mommy My Love particularly wanted to go out already and wondered why Daddy John was allowed to leave.

Mommy Minda revealed that her heart was heavy and she wanted to weep it all out. However much she wanted to though, she can’t. The Italian Valentino’s mom didn’t say though what the cause of this was. Mommy NingNing humorously suggested her to cut onions or think of something really weep worthy.

The guardians have made plans on what they will be doing as soon as they come out. Mommy Rose mentioned that she and the other guardians had been to Daddy Ike’s place. Mommy Minda wanted to experience this as well and made plans on visiting them soon. The Italian’s mom seemed to want to explore the Philippines much as she said that she wanted to go to Palawan with the teens.

If Mommy Minda wanted to explore the Philippines, Mommy Jinky and Mommy NingNing were preoccupied with their future love life. The two moms jokingly told Mommy Minda to find them boyfriends abroad. Mommy Minda giggled and considered starting an agency soon.

Ramblings and plans excited the guardians but they still couldn’t ignore the fact that eviction night is drawing near and the teens haven’t returned yet. Will the teens come back in time for eviction night? Will they even accomplish their 1,000 beaded bracelets weekly task? Find out the answers to these later on Uber!

The teens are back!

May 23, 2008 7:17 PM

The teens are finally home! And all are excited to see the familiar activity hall and their comfy beds. All tanned and glowing, the housemates rushed inside the house and found tasty dishes waiting for them. Earlier the guardians whipped up a feast for the teens which included their favorites: empanada, adobo and afritada. Though the food looked incredibly scrumptious, Beauty and Nicole couldn’t help but eat some chocolate, something they missed for how many days. To add to this feast, Kuya gave them unlimited shower time which had the teens hooting in delight.

Also on Uber, Mayor Edward Haggedorn gave an overview of Palawan. The island is definitely a tourist attraction with an underground river and a virgin forest. These in fact are up for nomination as part of the seven wonders of the world. Take part in the voting for the seven wonders of the world and register at www.new7wonders.com. Aside from this, he also campaigned for the preservation of these natural resources.

A recap on the happenings in Palawan was also shown this afternoon. Nicole and Beauty seemed to compete for Alex’s attention on the island. Beauty missed Alex so much and she gave the housemate a big hug. But after a few minutes, Nikki also enveloped the Italian Valentino in a tight embrace. Could this spark conflict between the Rebellious Girl and the In-Chick from Cebu?

Kuya tested the housemates water survival skills by placing Mikan in the middle of the sea. The teens, which were divided into two teams, had to save the house player. Rona, Nicole, Alex and Robi made up group one while Beauty, Nan, Ejay and Valerie comprised group two. The teens had to make use of their military training to build a raft and rescue Mikan. Robi’s team built their raft rather quickly and they immediately set off towards the sea. Beauty’s team however struggled with their raft. Will they be able to catch up with the first group? Witness the end of this task, the meeting of the housemates, and the teens’ underground river expedition on PBB Teen Edition Plus later on primetime!

Guardian Love Team, Agenda: Paiyakin si Mommy Minda, Kailan kaya sila babalik?,.....

May 23, '08 2:47 AM

Kamusta naman ang tandem na Mommy NingNing at Daddy Erning? Binibiro ni Mommy Jinky na i-date ni Daddy Erning si Mommy Ningning, papanoorin ng sineng "Caregiver" at ipagshopping pa! Tamang tama naman talaga, single si Daddy Erning at ganun rin ang mom ni Linda. 'Di kaya magulat ang teens, pagbalik nila eh love team na ang parents nila?

Agenda: Paiyakin si Mommy Minda

May 22, '08 10:30 PM

Share ni Mommy Minda sa mga guardians na gusto niyang maiyak. As in yung todo todong iyak para gumaan ang kalooban niya. Parati na lang siya nagpipigil at nagtatago at nahihirapan siya sa ganitong lagay. Suggestion ni Mommy NingNing, maghiwa ng sibuyas o kaya'y mag-isip ng malungkot. Ano naman kaya ang puwede pang ikalungkot ni Mommy Minda kung may anak siyang tulad ni Alex plus 2nd Big Placer siya? Hmm...

Kailan kaya sila babalik?

May 22, '08 9:44 PM

Nadagdagan na ang barkadahan ng mommies at nasa loob na rin si Daddy Erning at Mommy NingNing. Kamusta naman iyan! Bagaman nageenjoy sila, gusto na rin nilang makita ang outside world. Kaya naman nagtanungan kung kailan babalik ang teens. Mukhang mamaya na daw ang uwi nila dahil Sabado na bukas. Mamaya na nga kaya ang balik ng teens? Kamusta kaya ang weekly task nila na beaded bracelets?

Movie watching sa bahay ni Kuya

May 22, '08 3:47 AM

Matapos ang karaoke session, nood naman ang mga mommies ng movie! This is the life talaga para sa mga mommies. Relax kung relax at nood kung nood sila. Affected ang ibang mommies sa pinapanood pero si Mommy Minda, tulog na! Siguradong solve at sulit talaga sila sa impromptung bakasyon. Hanggang kailan kaya sila sa bahay ni Kuya?

Karaoke time with the mommies!

May 22, '08 1:20 AM

Bonggang bongga ang mga mommies na nagpasikat ng kanilang mala anghel na boses! Todo kanta si Mommy Rose na mukhang ayaw nang bitawan ang microphone. Birit Queen talaga tulad ng daughter na si Rona.

May 23, 2008 3:17 AM

Another day on the island, and the three teens expressed their intention to search for the missing Valerie. Kuya approved and even offered to help. First, though, they had to ride the boat out into the sea and look for their supplies. With floating water bottles marking the spot, they dove underwater to untie their supplies: compasses, gloves, rope, and a map with coordinates and directions towards Valerie. In Valerie’s side of the island, Kuya gave her instructions ala- message in a bottle, telling her to make smoke signals in order to be rescued. With their training, the three were able to follow the map easily and finally, got reunited with Valerie. Ejay got too excited, though, that he forgot to tie his end of the rope and threw it back in the water, so that Nan had to wade through the water to tie it himself. Beauty successfully crossed the narrow gap despite her fear of wild animals. All four then trekked back to camp where they were rewarded with a yummy dinner coupled with lively banter.

Meanwhile, those in the house were awakened by the beat of the tambuli, a native instrument. The teens have been working at their weekly task which was to create 1000 accessories, which would then be sold at the Teen-dahan for a worthy cause. All were then called into the Confession Room where Cyber Kuya informed the two girls, Rona and Nikki, to pack their things (though they’d later discover that their undies were missing, and they started pounding on Kuya’s door) for they were going to follow the others.

This has the boys saddened, and they asked Kuya about it. Cyber Kuya claimed that the three were probably too delicate for the trip, especially since they said they were feeling under the weather recently. While Alex and Robi were doing household chores, Mikan stayed behind in the confession room, and was made to select who between the two should join the girls in Palawan. Unknown to him, his conversation with Kuya was being broadcasted outside the Confession Room, and all heard that he chose to go himself. It’s a good thing the two boys were understanding and chose to be happy for him. Kuya called in Alex and Robi, and both tried to convince Kuya that they were fit enough to be there. Later, only Alex was asked into the Confession Room, and yet again, his responses were being heard outside. Alex said that he and Robi were a tandem, and if he gets to go, then so does Robi. If he has to choose, he’d waive his claim and pass it on to Robi. After exchanging hugs to those leaving, Kuya again called the three lucky teens to ask whether they wanted the two boys with them. Within minutes, they were bursting with the news: Robi and Alex were going with them! In five minutes, they had to get their stuff, their weekly task’s materials, and straighten out the house. The others helped also so they could leave as a team. Before they left, Kuya reminded them that they should fend for themselves, show concern for each other and nature, and live by: No one gets left behind!

A glimpse of the teens’ island adventure

2008-05-22T21:22:00.001-07:00

May 22, 2008 7:07 PM

Mariel shared merienda with the guardians on Uber today and they all watched the teens face various challenges on the plasma TV. On the second day of the four teens stay in Palawan, they rowed their way to a distant isle. There they met the Lady of the Mangrove who looks after the 200-year-old trees.

As they spoke to her, they learned much about the environment. These trees, the teens discovered, are used to block off huge waves. However, they get fewer as the years go by and they were then obliged to replace these old trees by planting seedlings. The teens then bade farewell to the much devoted caretaker.

In this island, there also lay dead trees which bred a mollusk called Tamilok, a worm-looking delicacy. Beauty, Nan and Ejay snacked on the exotic food after soaking them in vinegar. Beauty bravely took the first bite and after realizing it very tasty, ate to her heart’s content.

Meanwhile, Valerie was led out of their home base towards a much farther island. With the lack of anyone to talk to, she “befriended” a monitor lizard, commonly known as bayawak, and fed it her meager food supply. The Dazzling Doll has yet to be rescued by the other three but she still has to create smoke signals for them to find her whereabouts. Will Nan, Ejay and Beauty find her before the day is over?

Robi, Nicole, Rona, Mikan and Alex finally arrive in Palawan. Ex-teen housemates Jolas, Kevin and Josef guided the five out of the plane and to their home base. What tasks would these five face? And will the first four teens easily discover the presence of the other housemates? See the answers to these and check out the meeting of the teens later on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus!

Lounging around with the Guardians

2008-05-22T21:20:00.000-07:00

Mommy Minda, Mommy Jinky, Mommy My Love and Mommy Rose are up and about this morning, all ready to do some major cleaning. The mommies were determined to make the house spic and span before the teens return from their island adventure. To further stretch their limbs and muscles, Kuya played an exercise song for them.

Kuya conversed with them through the plasma and asked how they were. He even told them to make use of the pool should they want to. Mommy Minda assured Cyber Kuya that he didn’t have to worry about them. They would be perfect angels and would give him no problem.

Over breakfast, the mommies talked about their children. Mommy Rose was a bit worried of Rona’s possible eviction this Saturday though she has learned to accept it already. She believes that Rona and Robi have matured ahead of the other housemates and were not just typical teens. Her daughter especially could relate well with different kinds of people. Mommy Jinky offered her experience with her daughter Priscilla’s eviction. She said that when Priscilla came out, she finally had peace of mind.

The mommies chatted on about where their kids got their looks from. Rona got her beauty from her grandmother while Kevin, they speculated, got his looks from his mom. Mommy My Love shyly confessed that while she was pregnant with Nan, she had a fondness towards Donald Duck, so she somehow sees her son like the cartoon character. The guardians giggled at this and Mommy Minda agreed saying that he even looked more like the character right after he showers.

After a filling breakfast, the guardians were provided with karaoke entertainment. Mommy Rose and Mommy My Love sang their hearts out to the tune of “Crazy For You” and “How Did You Know” among others. Truly this was one relaxing vacation for the guardians. Could the teens be enjoying the same vacation as their parents are having? See Rona, Robi, Alex, Nicole and Mikan’s first day in the wonderful isle of Palawan later on Uber!

Guardians are back in the house

2008-05-21T20:14:00.000-07:00

May 22, 2008 4:05 AM

Five of them accepted the invitation: Daddy John, Mommy Minda, Mommy Rose, Mommy Jinky, and Mommy My Love. Since Mommy Minda and Mommy My Love saw the “guardians’ PBB season” until the end, they were probably feeling at home and settled in quite easily. After all, it has only been a few days since they left the house.Daddy John exited earlier, though he certainly made the most of it. Premature as his stay was, it was still more than can be claimed by Mommy Rose and Mommy Jinky, who were both part of the first batch of guardian evictees. This probably felt like a vacation of sorts, considering how well-equipped Kuya’s house is. Food, entertainment, comfy accommodations, amenities (see: pool, exercise machines, plasma TV, overflowing goodies) --- all are well-provided for. Thinking about it, staying in Kuya’s house even beats quite a number of hotel accommodations, suites and villas included. The best part is, it’s free!

It is a well-earned rest for them. Time and again, it’s been shown how guardians are really a lot like the teens (though as a teen, the gap seems so concrete). As much as they do work and tinker around the house, the chance to just kick off their shoes and lay back has no doubt given them something to smile about. They spent the day lounging and chatting, some more than others. Mommy Jinky busied herself with sewing some sort of patchwork cover, while Mommy My Love and Mommy Rose draped themselves on the couch ala-Cleopatra as they watched movies on TV. Like the proud parents they were, talk would often drift towards their kids and family life. In fact, this remained the topic of conversation between Mommy Minda and the girls until they finally went off to dreamland.

Walang iwanan

May 22, 2008 4:07 AM

Upon waking up, Robi, Rona, Nikki, Alex and Mikan wondered where the rest have gone. Even Kuya was quiet, and only they only had occasional instructions via the plasma TV. It was lucky that they had Kuya Primo, from Puerto Prinsesa’s Tagbanua tribe, to watch over them. As the missing housemates were roughing it out in the far island, so were the remaining five stripped of certain comforts. Their supplies were confiscated and replaced with the rugged ones. Their food was alive, and had to be caught first. Fortunately, they got to catch the chicken with their traps and Kuya Primo taught them how to prepare the eel or palos. Robi was intent in learning how to prepare the eel. Rona was first in catching a chicken, followed by Robi and Alex. Even Nikki was involved as she held the chicken which was about to be decapitated. Kuya Primo entertained them by teaching native songs, and they taught him the PBB dance in return. Getting the eel was their first task, and this would be exchanged for a clue to the whereabouts of the four missing teens. They failed this, so they were given a second chance: to eat an entire bowl of tamilok, a worm that lived in the mangroves. Nikki went first and, though she wasn’t enthusiastic about it, was able to finish her turn properly. Same went for the rest except Mikan who, despite spouting trivia about it earlier, spat it back out. Despite the glitch, the task was completed and they got their clue about the rest.

Ejay, Beauty and Nan woke up without Val in sight! The Dazzling Doll was spirited off by camouflaged persons at dawn, was taken off in a boat and left alone on another part of the island. The covert “bushes” were none other than ex-housemates Josef, Jolas and Kevin who were sent by Kuya to test the credo of the remaining teen housemates. Will they stick to their word and not allow one of them to go MIA?

Though obviously bothered, not one moved from their site and went about the tasks for the day. They were sent to the mangroves or bakawan via boat, where they met Lady Mangrove. She was singing about the nature of the mangrove and after educating them, proceeded to give them their first task: to plant new trees in the mangrove to add and replace the centuries-old trees there. Their second task was to get in the water to harvest talaba or clams which would also be part of their dinner. Beauty, who was terrified of the swampy water and possible creatures, was carried by Ejay and stayed in the boat while the two boys went underwater. Armed with a big rock, she used it to pound on the clams the boys handed to her. Their third task was to gather tamilok, a white form of worm that ate the bark of the old mangrove trees. This was a delicacy in Puerto Prinsesa and one that was also a rich source of iodine, protein and calcium. The teens flavored it with vinegar and had it for a snack.

The three headed back to camp and had another task waiting for them. They had to use a bow and arrow to get the fruits sitting on top of wooden stakes. Though unsuccessful, Kuya allowed them to eat the grapes. Dinner was over and done, yet there was still no sign of Valerie, a fact that was pointed out to the three teens by Kuya in the Confession Room. So trusting were they in Kuya that, though worried, all assumed that Val was off on a secret mission and thought it best to not question her disappearance. Unfortunately, though Kuya did have a hand in the matter, the point of the situation was to test their commitment to the credo, and they failed miserably. Ejay should probably have trusted his guts and risked Kuya’s probable ire and went off in search of his beloved. In fact, poor Valerie was off alone in another part of the island, scared and at a loss. She spent the entire day feeding stray animals and lamenting her fate: “Saklolo… Walang fire dito, walang magluto dito, walang kain dito. Saklolo, saklolo. Ay, diyos ko!” Restless though their sleep was, surely it was nothing compared to the lone Valerie who was curled up in a clammy cave.

Finally, the teens in the house were shown a video clip of the four housemates. Though sad to be left at home, they were truly happy to have spent the time with Kuya Primo, and they continued stringing beads. Kuya even talked to them all the way from the island to ask how they were and thank Ka Primo. Robi reported that the Tagbanuan was taking good care of them. Alex and Nikki expressed their regret at not being with Kuya and Mikan joked about being tortured and not being fed.

Things are definitely getting interesting! Tomorrow’s Primetime Bida will show the remaiing teens’ conversation with “Cyber Kuya” who instructs Nikki and Rona to pack, as they will soon follow the first four housemates on the island. See how the remaining boys will react and witness the girls’ fluster as they discover their undies gone. Don’t miss out on the PBB Teens Plus Island Adventure!

Mariel and the guardians invade Kuya’s house

May 21, 2008 7:31 PM

It’s Ka Primo’s last day in the house and Uber host Mariel interviewed him regarding his stay. The Tribal Chieftain revealed that Robi was his favorite among the teens. The True Blue Atenista was diligent, he was easy to teach and he also had the initiative of asking Ka Primo what he could do for him. Ka Primo believes that the others probably had a hard time coping with the tasks which explains their lack of initiative. In regard with the weekly task, he was very optimistic that the teens would have the 1,000 beaded bracelets done by Friday.

In exchange for the tribal chieftain’s lessons, Robi had the opportunity to give Ka Primo a glimpse of the modern day lifestyle. The two bonded over pizza in the reward room and Robi provided some entertainment by playing the guitar for Ka Primo. Kuya Primo said that he actually likes learning about the Pinoy’s modern culture. He also said that he wants his kids to have knowledge of it so they won’t be left behind by the times. He told Robi that he will cherish this once in a lifetime experience forever.

Also, a sneak peek of the teens in Palawan was shown on Uber today. Gone are the days of the convenience of food and shelter. The teens would be living in a tree house and would be scouting for their food. Ejay and Nan struggled in climbing the rope all the way up a tree house just to talk to Kuya. Aside from this, the teens, who worked hard to hunt for food, had their meager supplies stolen by monkeys. No matter how hard they shooed the animals away the monkeys were not even a little bit scared of them. How will the teens defend their loot from Kuya’s “friends”?

Mommy Minda, Daddy John, Mommy Rose, Mommy Jinky and Mommy My Love were present inside the house to witness the teens’ island adventure in Palawan on the plasma TV. After the five remaining housemates left this morning, the five guardians volunteered to do a little clean up inside Kuya’s house. Work turned into relaxation by the time Uber came around and Mariel even had a pung-pong-galapong time with Alex’s mom.

What else would the guardians do now that they have the house all to themselves? Have Rona, Robi, Nicole, Alex and Mikan caught up with the others? Stay stuck on ABS-CBN to find out the answers to these questions! Also catch more of the housemates’ Big Island Adventure and worm eating challenge tonight on PBB Teen Edition Plus on primetime.

What Ejay really did

May 21, 2008 3:15 PM

A few weeks back, there was some confusion about an incident involving Ejay and house player Mikan. This began when Shy introduced Andi to the teens as a long time friend. The first house player also explained that Andi had been staying in a secret room where she had been observing the teens for some time.

The housemates became curious if such a room really existed. When Mikan entered the house, Robi and Ejay tried to talk about it. Ejay asked Mikan if he did stay in secret room in the house and observed them. Previous reports were incorrect in stating that Ejay had asked Mikan about the outside world, which would have meant he committed an offense. But since Ejay had not violated any house rule, he was not up for automatic nomination for this week.

The remaining 5 are off to Palawan

May 21, 2008 2:17 PM

Bamboo percussions woke the teens today, hinting at the jungle adventure waiting for them. The Island Adventure teaser also played over and over again on the plasma screen. All were called into the confession room and Kuya told the girls specifically that they would be following the other four. They were instructed to pack light and to bring food and water. The two girls then hurriedly packed two sets of clothes, swimwear, bananas and chips.

Robi and Alex thought that they were excluded from the island getaway because they were not physically fit enough to tough it out in the wild after a medical check-up last night. The two even did push-ups to demonstrate they were healthy and fit to join the other housemates somewhere out there. However, Big Brother gave no sign of giving them a pass to the island adventure. Kuya Primo then kidded Robi that he would be the only one left to take care of the house.

While the boys tried their best to convince Kuya, Mikan was called into the confession room. Kuya asked him to decide who between Alex and Robi he would want to go on the trip. Since Mikan couldn’t decide, and he wanted the experience as well, he chose himself to accompany the two girls. He then told the boys the news which further stressed them.

Mikan, Nicole and Rona, all packed and ready to go, gave the two boys hugs and sympathetic farewells. After a few minutes inside the activity area, the three barged again inside the house and shouted last minute instructions. Kuya was just teasing the two boys and would be coming with them after all. They had to pack their bags in five minutes and the boys rushed about excitedly, throwing stuff into their bags carelessly. The five then ran to the activity area and wore their blindfolds. They are now all set to go to Palawan.

With all the housemates in Palawan, who would be in charge of finishing the 1,000 beaded bracelet task? What other exciting adventures would the five experience on the island? See the full story later on Uber!

Adventurous tastebuds

May 21, 2008 4:05 AM

It shouldn’t have come as such a surprise that the teens left behind were definitely not excused from tasks. Though they were safely tucked in Kuya’s house, the remaining five teens were made busy making beaded items. They had to reach 1,000 pieces and these will be sold at the Teen-dahan ni Kuya. Day in and day out, they busied themselves with the minute beads, choosing each carefully. Looks like we have something else to line up for at the store!

The teens were also made to sympathize with their “other half”, to be in solidarity with, – the first batch who left. Resources such as a stove, water, and time were very limited. Robi, with the help of Rona and Kuya Primo, prepared dinnier, laid out on traditional banana leaves. In fact, they even had to fetch their own meal: eel, which was flopping around like crazy. In exchange, they get their second clue as to where she could be found. They failed this, though, so no clue for them. Kuya gave them a second chance: they had to finish an entire bowl of gelatinous food, made from mangrove trees. They were to take turns until it was all gone, and no one was supposed to back down. Nikki went first, and although she declared it weird, she was able to take her share. Same was true for Robi, Rona and Alex. In fact, Alex even got more than his share. Mikan was surprised that he was the only one who complained about the food, especially when he threw it up after eating their cookies. Rona teased him, saying that he ought to do it for Beauty (Mikan’s admitted crush). A few moments later, all were back and eating the food.

Island Adventure!

2008-05-20T23:22:00.002-07:00

May 21, 2008 3:45 AM

It was still dark when the Air Force officers arrived at the house and roused only a select group of teens: Nan, Ejay, Val and Beauty. The teens were brought out into the activity area where there were a pile of supplies. Each had to select three items which they felt would be useful to them, keeping in mind the survival training they underwent a week ago. Beauty chose a clay pot, matches, and salt. Val valued a first aid kit, a flashlight, and a knife. Ejay selected a helmet, a bolo, and a chopping knife. Nan picked out a bolo, a flashlight, and a compass. Before they went on, they were reminded of this: Walang iwanan.

They were again blindfolded and traveled to a waiting plane, followed by a helicopter ride and ended on a secluded island in our very own Puerto Prinsesa. Ejay, Val and Beauty were all excited, but Nan wasn’t able to appreciate the plane ride too much because of the blindfold. Ejay and Val were brought down first, and they had to walk around blindfolded around the area. Minutes later, Beauty and Nan arrived as well, and the four had to find each other first before taking off their blindfolds. It was probably fortunate that Beauty was there, as her loud voice made the reunion easy enough.

Next, they each had to catch 3 talangkas each in exchange for the map which would lead them to supplies and the PBB house. They enjoyed the novelty of this a lot that they collected an extra 2 talangkas on top of the required 12. Map in hand, they followed the trail to the marked spots. “X marks the spot” indeed, as they picked up supplies such as bananas, rope, water, rice and vinegar. In time, they reached the Big Brother Adventure House where they see a “love letter” from Kuya, inviting them into the Confession Room.

Yet the tasks are far from over. Kuya was waiting for them at the Confession Room, which was up the tree. To get to it, one of them – in this case, Ejay (plus his toes) – had to climb the rope and allow the others to use the stairs. After a few reminders from Kuya, they next had to look for painted coconuts around the house and dig. Six feet under were bundles of extra essentials like clothes, mats, etc. Despite some trouble with the local monkeys and broken eggs, all went well as they shared a kawayan-cooked chicken dinner (thanks to the native chicken caught in Ejay’s trap) and went to bed. Unknown to them, they were under constant supervision, and they were about to steal Val away. Something to watch out for on tomorrow’s Uber and Primetime Bida are more

What of the remaining housemates? Robi, Rona, Alex, Nikki and Mikan were all puzzled to wake up and realize that they were losing four of their number. Alex vaguely remembered bags by the door and could recall snippets of the early morning covert operation. All had speculations that were quite near to the truth: they were on a jungle or beach. Nikki’s avid watching of the previous PBB seasons peeked through as she stated that “Sometimes they really do that.” With nothing to do, the girls decided to play with make-up and experiment with them on the boys. Only Mikan could be persuaded to do so, as the other two did all means necessary to avoid this. Even if they were left alone, they still had tasks to fulfill. To help them with these, Kuya Primo, a Batac of the Tagbanua Tribe, was invited into the house. They had a game of supok or sumpit, where they had to use the blowpipe to pop the balloons. In return, they got a clue pertaining to where the rest were. In the meantime, Robi toured Kuya Primo around the house, since he was going to stay a while.

Dagdag Dalag on Uber!

2008-05-20T23:22:00.001-07:00

May 20, 2008 8:08 PM

On Uber today the teens are divided into two teams. Alex is partnered with Nicole while Robi is with Rona. One of the players has to be blindfolded and the other would be the coach. Each team had to get two dalags in a mud-filled arena in order to win a prize. Two seem to be a small number but the tricky thing about the game is the chasing and catching of the slimy fish.

Alex and Nicole were the first team to do the capturing. The Italian Valentino chased the fish while Nicole kept her poise as his coach. Alex totally freaked with the fish slipping out of his reach. When Robi and Rona had their turn, the Positive Girl coached her blindfolded partner tirelessly and even attempted to catch the fish for him. Which among the two teams would win this slippery challenge?

Also on Uber, ex-teen housemate Priscilla gave her point of view on issues surrounding her and the other housemates. She once again said that she was just being true to herself. The Deaf Dreamer also explained that her conflict with Rona was like any ordinary misunderstanding between best friends. When asked about her love life, she sums it up in one word: complicated. Pris also thanked her family and fans for their support and for believing in her. She especially thanked her beloved mother for being protective of her.

Meanwhile, the five remaining housemates inside the house missed the other teens and wondered where they could be. Little did they know, the four are having a blast in their Big island adventure. They had to fulfill tasks such as catching a talangka, exploring the island, and climbing a tree. However the four are confronted with a situation that wasn’t taught during their military training. Monkeys stole their meager food supply and were left with none. How will the four solve this problem?

If the four had an Island Adventure in Palawan, the housemates left also had a back-to-basics lesson from Kuya Primo. The house guest, who was also a chief of the Tagbanuas, lectured the teens on the native way of life. As part of their weekly task, he taught the teens how to make beaded necklaces, similar to the ones they make in his tribe. At the end of the week, they would have to produce 1,000 pieces. This merchandise would then be sold at the TeenDahan ni Kuya and the profit would benefit the City Tribal Foundation. Will the teens reach their 1,000 bracelet quota in time? See the first day of Ejay, Valerie, Nan and Beauty in Palawan on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus later on primetime!

Death becomes the chicken, No more water!, The beadwork continues, Eel Supply!, Hinala ni Rona...

2008-05-20T00:23:00.000-07:00

Death becomes the chicken

Tinuruan ni Kuya Primo ang girls kung paano kakatayin ang manok. Alangan si Nikki dito at todo kabado siya pero buti na lang at keri ng powers niya! Matapos ay tinanggalan na nila ito ng balahibo. Very useful nga naman ang military training at matitibay na ang loob ng teens pagdating sa mga ganitong gawain. In fairness, bonggang bonggang girl scout na si Nikki!

No more water!

Sabi ni Kuya sa teens na ang water supply lang nila ngayong araw ay manggagaling sa isang dram ng tubig! Kamusta naman iyan? Buti na nga lang at may training ang teens na walang liguan o 10 mins liguan noong nakaraang linggo. Napa-iling na lang si Mikan dahil maglalaba sana siya. Si Robi naman nag-aalala kung paano siya mag number 1 at 2. Parang nasa jungle na rin kayo ano housemates?

The beadwork continues

Matapos magsibak ng kahoy at maghanda ng pananghalian si Robi at Alex, diretso sila sa living room para gumawa ng beads. Karir ang teens at todo concentrate sa ginagawa nila. Kanino kaya mapupunta ang mga beads na ito? O 'di kaya'y bagong merchandise ito sa TeenDahan ni Kuya?

Eel Supply!

Kinuha ng teens ang daily supply sa storage room at nagulantang ang lahat na may kasamang eels dito! Tumalon ang eel kaya naman todo habol dito si Alex at Robi. Sobrang dulas at mukhang dumidikit pa ang kulay sa kanila. Lunch kaya ito o bagong alaga ng teens?

Hinala ni Rona

Dalawang araw nang wala ang ibang housemates kaya naman naghinala si Rona. Kuwento niya kay Nikki na tingin niya nasa jungle ang apat. Nung nakaraang linggo, surviving in the jungle ang theme kaya naman malakas kutob niya na somewhere in a deserted island sila Beauty, Ejay, Nan at Valerie. Slightly correct ka diyan Rona, pero saang island nandoon ang apat?

Jungle adventure continues at home

May 20, 2008 3:13 PM

While Beauty, Valerie, Nan and Ejay are coursing their way through the big island adventure, the other five are struggling as well with the jungle feel of Kuya’s tasks. The teens picked up their daily supplies from the storage room and were shocked at the sight of the wriggling eels. Other supplies were a bolo, chickens, bamboo, coal and banana leaves. It seems like the teens wouldn’t be having a normal lunch today.

Primo, the housemate’s guest, taught the teens how to make fire using their supplies. Armed with wood and coal, Robi and Alex went to work and started their very own fire. The teens’ skills on catching a chicken were also put to use as they made a trap and baited it successfully. Kuya Primo assisted the teens by making tribal sounds to call the chickens. The huge obstacle for the housemates, however, were the eels since they could barely hold it. Thanks to Kuya Primo, the teens’ were taught on how to go about the difficult task.

To add to this “back to basics” activity, the teens’ water supply was cut off. For the whole day they would only have to use one drum of water. Mikan was quite disappointed since he planned on doing the laundry today. Robi, on the other hand, worried about the inconvenience of doing their toilet activities. Aside from this water shortage, the teens would also have to deal with the 10 minute shower time rule. Though divided in two sets, the housemates are united in executing the skills they acquired the previous week. How will the teens manage with these tasks? Check out the PBB Multiply Site for updates on this story and watch Uber to see Beauty, Nan, Valerie and Ejay’s first day in Palawan!

Hard facts on the 7th

2008-05-20T00:17:00.000-07:00

May 19, 2008 10:47 PM

By nature, Filipinos are tender-hearted and non-confrontational. Yet, accountability is an important value to learn and truly a tough one to live by. Standing by one’s decisions is a sign of adulthood, and this is something that Kuya faces the teens with in this week’s nomination. For the past nominations, the teens could freely give points to their housemates in the secrecy of the Confession Room. For the seventh nomination night, the gravity of their decisions is forced on them as they are required to personally hang the medallions of votes on their nominees.

When Kuya announced this twist, all were speechless, their minds probably doing a sudden flashback to their votes. They already gave their nominees earlier in the usual way, but Kuya surprised them with this second round. No room for second thoughts, though: the rule was for them to stick to their first decision. The teens were blindfolded and Mariel tapped the housemate whose turn it was to hang the medallions. Though they didn’t see the ones who nominated them, the tension that came with the hanging of medallions was akin to hanging their co-housemate on a guillotine, if Alex’s tears (considering he didn’t get a single vote) were to be the basis.

The lone House Player finally succeeded in his task. Mikan was tasked to be close to the Positive Girl, and to prove it, she had to hug him after he opens up to her. With Rona’s open nature, Mikan wasn’t disappointed. Nikki even teased the two as she announced the new love team in the house: RoKan. Mikan unsuspectedly followed up this claim as he tells Big Bro that Rona has a certain appeal that shines through her good nature. True beauty, as they say, lies within. His next task was to serve the Dazzling Doll, and in turn, have her perform some sort of service and thank him. Val just wondered about Big Love’s actions, though, and continued sharing sweet nothings and exchanging hugs with the Promdi Hottie. Was he able to pass the next task, or was his task with Rona just a tad too easy?

Rona (with 7 points) and Robi (with 5 points) are this week’s nominees. The polls are now open, so get a head start on saving the housemate of your choice. The fate of RoRo is in your hands. Vote online or text BB (name of housemate) and send it to 2331 (for Globe, Sun and TM subscribers) or 231 for (Smart and Talk N Text subscribers). Kuyanatics in UAE may also now vote by texting BB (name of housemate) and sending it to 4200 (for Etisalat subscribers).

The teens finally find something to do

2008-05-20T00:15:00.000-07:00

May 19, 2008 7:04 PM

The teens were pleasantly surprised with the entrance of sumpit expert, Kuya Primo. The man, who was wearing his native tribal costume, was instructed by Kuya to teach the housemates how to use the supok or sumpit for this afternoon’s Uber game. The housemates were very happy for finally they have something to do. Kuya Primo also told them about the use of the supok in his tribe, the Batak people of Palawan. He told them that while it’s regarded as a toy by some, sumpit experts in their group still use it to catch birds and small animals. He also explained the other uses of the native things he bought with him. Soon, the housemates were told to line up and start ‘shooting’ at the target.

When it was time for the game proper, the housemates went to the activity are with Kuya Primo. Upon the buzzer sound, each housemate must try to shoot at a cluster of balloons on a board a few feet away. The teen who manages to burst the most balloons will receive a reward. First housemate to try it was Robi, and the Atenean popped balloons till the buzzer sounded again, signaling the end of his turn. Next was Nikki and she was quite a sumpit shooter, popping balloons one after the other. Alex, Rona and Mikan have to take their turns yet. Would they be able to top Robi and Nicole’s scores?

Super last na!, Beauty Oh!, Missing Priscilla...

2008-05-19T01:29:00.000-07:00

Ang kulit kulit na ng dalawang girls kaya itong si Robi nagtago sa boys bedroom. "Super last!" promise ni Rona kay Robi na ayaw pa rin pumayag. Umalis kunwari si Rona sa may pinto pero nakaabang sa may malapit lang. Sumilip si Robi to see if nandun pa si Rona at sumakay naman si Nicole na nasa malayo na si Rona humahabol kay Alex. Pero buking din si Rona at retreat ulit si Robi sa boys' room.

Hala kelan matatapos ang habulan make-up na ito?

Naging make up monsters na itong si Rona and Nicole kaya after ni Mikan ay talagang pinuntirya na nila si Robi and Alex. Si Nicole nahuli si Alex sa may kitchen at ayaw itong pakawalan. Sabi tuloy ni Alex "I don't want! I'm gonna kiss you!" at sabay lapit ng mukha ke Nicole. Ayun tuluyan nga nakawala si Alex. Napa "Beauty oh!" tuloy si Nikki...

Bigla-biglang naisip ng girls ang ex-housemate na si Priscilla. Miss na siya ni Beauty at ganon rin naman si Rona. Ang kawalan naman kay Nikki, wala nang magpaplantsa sa kanila ng maganda at wala na silang curler. Talaga nga namang missable ang presence ng Deaf Dreamer from Davao. Kayo, mamimiss niyo rin ba si Priscilla?

Kuya! We’re bored!!!!

2008-05-19T01:26:00.000-07:00

May 19, 2008 3:53 PM

Where oh where can Beauty, Valerie, Nan and Ejay be? Rona, Nicole, Robi, Alex and Mikan woke up to a pretty silent house this morning. Kuya seems to be busy too and the housemates left inside the house have nothing to do. Rona expected that their weekly task would be given late this afternoon but up to now, Kuya had no instructions for them. The only thing they heard over the speakers for a few seconds were lines from the song You’re So Vain by Carly Simon.

After playing a few rounds of their favorite Uno card game, the teens became quite restless. They probably got used to a last week’s busy schedule, thanks to their survival training. Rona tried to coax the others from sleeping by bringing out the giant PBB deck of cards to play 1-2-3 Pass but the others were not in the mood for another card game. Nicole even shouted “Kuya! Super bored!”, encouraging Rona and Mikan to do the same. Mikan even tried screaming for “Ate!” just in case Kuya was really out.

The two girls suddenly had an idea to give the boys a “make over”. “Dali Mikan, make-apan ka namin,” Rona said enthusiastically. Robi was quick to decline their offer, saying “Sawa na ako make-apan. Lagi na lang ako biktima!” and retreated to the garden with Alex to hide from the girls. Mikan had no choice but to succumb to Nicole and Rona’s wishes. He sat down obediently in the living room and the girls excitedly took out their make-up brushes and eye color palettes. “Ang lambot ng face mo,” Nikki commented while putting foundation on Mikan’s face.

After a few minutes, the Kabataang Pinoy theme suddenly played on the speakers. Alex and Robi joined the three in the dancing but gave a laugh upon seeing Mikan’s new look. The song ended and the girls quickly said “Who’s next?”. Alex and Robi once again made a beehive to the garden.

Where can the four housemates be? Are they off with Kuya to some secret task? Keep it here for more updates and watch Uber at 5:30 PM later with Mariel Rodriguez

This was an eventful week, with both guardians and teens working side by side, making the most of the meager time left together. They took part in being of service as they packed 100 bags of school stuff for 100 underprivileged kids in Cagayan Valley. They were also given the opportunity to party the night away, showcasing their talents and proving their prowess in song and dance. They also slow danced with their guardians, though Ejay and Val managed to have a special moment to them. It was during this week, too, that Beauty made the hard decision to swap Mommy Carina’s spot in the Guardians’ Big Four in favor of Mommy Sandy. Her mom was proud of her selfless reasons, and Nikki was likewise overwhelmed. So moved was she that she also wished to give Beauty something special in return – a 100-second phone call with her dad – and willingly took on being a mirror image of those who sat before her. Beauty was again in tears when she finally got to talk with her dad, and Nikki felt a great sense of fulfillment with doing something for another. Minutes before going live, the teens offer a special song for the guardians and each teen gave a thank you speech. This had the guardians crying until Kuya played the PBB theme song and all joined in the energetic dance number.

After Mommy Carina’s exit and Priscilla’s eviction, it is time for a big celebration as all welcome the Guardians’ Big Four in the outside world. Daddy Erning, Mommy Minda, Mommy Sandy and Mommy My Love represent all the parents and guardians who selflessly and whole-heartedly journey with their children. They carry with them the responsibility of guiding them, despite and in spite of hardships, clashes and personal differences. Truly, they deserve every applause and cheer that awaits them. For this momentous occasion, even the ex-housemates and guardians are back and ready to join in the welcome.

The Guardian 4th Big Placer, with 4.64% of votes, was Mommy My Love. Pretty in her blue dress, she was escorted by Kevin onto the stage. Mommy My Love received a check for P100,000 and a business franchise from Potato Cuddler. Following her at third place, with 13.98% of votes, was Mommy Sandy. The teens teased Nikki that her mom was sexier in her red satiny outfit, and she left the house on the arm of Jolas. Mommy Sandy received a check for P150,000 and a business franchise from Potato Cuddler The second place spot was claimed by Mommy Minda, who got 16.22% of the votes. She was gorgeous though teary-eyed in her new hairdo and escorted by Josef. She received a check for P250,000 and a business franchise from Whammy Waffle. And finally, the title of Guardian Big Winner was honored to Daddy Erning, who claimed 65.16% of the votes and yet couldn’t get over the shock of it all just yet. He was welcomed by Mariel and Bianca, and was given a standing ovation by those outside. He received a check for P500,000 and a business franchise from Whammy Waffle.

nticipating the outside world

May 18, 2008 3:52 PM

The girls excitedly chitchatted on their plans upon leaving the house. With barely a month before the Big Night, the teens are very much anticipating the real world. Rona plans to reflect first then she would see to her responsibilities and start working. When she goes back to Dumaguete she would settle the college requirements for SillimanUniversity.

Beauty on the other hand dwelt on sentimental matters. She would first tinker with her cell phone and then talk to her father and older brother. She also has dreams to be in show business and make appearances in The Buzz and Asap. Valerie was more concerned with her education and wanted to study in Ateneo.

The conversation was cut short when Kuya told them to quickly shower and prepare themselves for later. Everyone was excited with the awaited Guardian Big Night. Beauty asked Daddy Erning if he was thrilled with the event to which he answered that he was. In preparation for later, the Promdie Hottie invited his father to practice for the talent showdown.

Meanwhile, the girls are nostalgic with the memories Priscilla left in the house. Beauty misses her as well as Rona. Nicole stressed that the Differently-Abled Teen was especially skilled in hairdressing. They would miss how Priscilla took care of them and made sure they were all pretty and primped before the live show. The girls seem to be close with each other and it would be difficult for them to nominate their friends for eviction. Who would be the new set of nominees? And how did the teens justify their nominees? Find out on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus!

Priscilla returns to the outside world

2008-05-19T01:18:00.000-07:00

May 17, 2008 10:44 PM

With the Big Island Adventure looming just ahead, Kuya prepares the teens through this week’s task. Under the supervision of officers from the Philippine Air Force (PAF), the housemate went through a rigorous military survival training which they brilliantly passed with flying colors last Friday. The teens received a total of 176 merits, 76 points more than Kuya’s expected score. The PAF officers commended everyone saying that they have exerted a lot of effort and have shown maturity all through out the course. After hearing those kind words from the strict teachers, the housemates enveloped them in a group hug. Kuya also awarded the teens their full weekly budget.

Before getting to eviction business, Beauty and the rest of the gang had to say good-bye to Mommy Carina. Although it pained Beauty to sacrifice her own mom from the Guardian Big Four, the young woman knew this was the right thing to do. Mommy Carina gave everyone a tight embrace before bidding her daughter farewell. Although teary eyed, she told hosts Luis Manzano and Bianca Gonzales that she’s crying not because she’s sad. In fact she is very happy and proud of Beauty for she has never seen this side of her daughter before.

Luis then got the housemates ready for the announcement of the evictee for the week. Nicole was the first girl called into the safe zone and there was an obvious look of surprise on her face. Beauty was expecting to follow her mom out of the house tonight, but it was Priscilla who got the boot, garnering only 11.51% of the votes. Priscilla also hugged all the remaining housemates and wished everyone well. She was then welcomed back to the real world by her mom, Jinky.

The Deaf Dreamer was actually all smiles when she saw the crowd outside Kuya’s house. When asked by Luis how she feels at the moment, Pris was very positive about everything. "Ok lang, para sa ‘kin masaya pa rin ako. Kasi kahit paano na nagawa ko pa rin yung dream ko. This is a very big impact for me, to be in this house. Kahit pa kung ako ang naging first evictee, I’m very happy." The young lady also apologized to her mom for being a "bad girl" inside the house. She knows that everything is God’s will and that He has plans for her.

Despite it being a rainy night, the winners of Sikat sa Haircut unveiled their own billboard outside the yellow house. From several entries across the country, Kuya, the male teen housemates and guardians chose who deserved to win the P50,000 cash prize. After some deliberation the men picked the kids of Batang Moreno ng Laguna as the grand prize winners. Their check was presented on stage by ex-teen housemate Josef and guardian Daddy John.

Practical exam day

2008-05-16T22:11:00.000-07:00

May 16, 2008 7:31 PM

It’s the day of the teens’ military practical exam and everyone’s nervous about it. With already an outstanding 133 merits, the housemates hope that they pass their weekly task without a glitch. Their skills in raft making were tested by Air Force officers first. Everyone remembered the various knots that were taught to them and they were awarded 10 merits. The next exam was to rescue a drowning victim. Ejay and Robi used the skills they learned just this morning and were able to rescue the mannequin within the three-minute deadline. Rona, Nan and Nicole on the other hand showed-off their floating techniques and were done with the job in just a few seconds. Will they be able to ace the remaining parts of their exam?

Despite the busy week, Valerie and Ejay seem to be able to patch things up with one another. The two had another bout of tampuhan with the same issue of Ejay refusing to reveal his thoughts to the Dazzling Doll. To ease the tension a bit, Valerie gave Ejay a shirt as a remembrance of their friendship, pleasing the hottie from Mindoro. He later revealed to Kuya that all he was to feel special and important to Valerie as she is to him.

Meanwhile, out of his four tasks, Mikan was only able to accomplish one. In today’s poll, the voter’s decided that Valerie would be the housemate that the house player would be serving. Could he pull it off this time? See how Mikan executed his winning task later on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus on Primetime!

The teens learn about snorkeling and sea survival

2008-05-16T22:06:00.000-07:00

May 16, 2008 6:08 PM

If the previous training days were devoted to land survival, today’s lessons were all about surviving in water. First up were skin diving and snorkeling. The teens have to know how to flutter kick by the end of the day. Ejay, Nan and Robi were the first to demonstrate this with the young man from Davao having problems with his knee bending. Ejay also seemed to be executing the technique wrong and got easily tired. Robi was the only housemate acknowledged by the officers who executed the move the right way.

The girls had the most difficulty in the water activity. Nicole dived in a certain part of the pool and hit her head on a bamboo pole when she emerged from the water. Priscilla was also given special attention since she’s scared to dive. An AF officer assisted the Deaf Dreamer since she seemed to panic whenever she goes underwater.

The teens were then taught how to perform underwater rescue. Everyone enjoyed the activity and was able to accomplish the task smoothly. They were also taught the floater technique where they can use their pants as a floating device. After blowing air into their pants, these were then tied together and hung around their necks. The teens could now safely swim to shore with no worries on sinking.

The teens spent most of the day accomplishing these tasks but Nicole had yet another lined up for her. When the In-Chick from Cebu came out from the confession room, she instantly mimicked anyone she came across with. A wooden frame was placed in the living room to serve as some sort of prop for Nicole’s mirror task. Is a sacrifice or punishment for Nicole? Find out her story and if the teens will succeed in their weekly task later on Uber!

Trivia naman kay Mikan: Sumali siya para maging proud ang Olongapo sa kaniya. Isang kayamanan nila - may spa hotel ang Dad niya sa Olongapo. Sa katunayan nga iniimbita niya ang mga housemates na dumalaw sa kanila para makalibre sila. Sosyal!

Special mission for the kids!
May 16, '08 4:29 AM

Tulong-tulong ang teens at guardians sa paglalagay ng school supplies sa 100 bags. Sa bawat isang bag kinakailangan ang laman ay 2 notebook, 2 writing pad, 2 memo pad, 2 paste at bonggang bonggang converse shoes. Isang oras lang ang tinakda ni Kuya para sa task na ito. Sino kaya ang mga suwerteng tatanggap ng school supplies na inimpake ng housemates? Nagawa kaya nila ang task na ito sa loob ng isang oras?

Sacrifice or task?
May 16, '08 2:36 AM

Pagkalabas ni Nicole sa confession room, kung sinong matapat sa kaniya ginagaya niya! Ang tanong, sacrifice kaya ito o task ni Kuya sa kaniya? Dagdag pa sa punishment na ito ang props na wooden frame to stand as mirror. Sa bawat galaw ni Alex, ginagaya ng In-Chick from Cebu. Lunch time na at para makakain si Nicole, kumain ang katapat niyang si Alex. Si Priscilla ang sumunod na tumapat kay Nicole at para pakiligin si Nan, sinabi niyang "I love You Nan" para gayahin ni Nikki. Kinilig ka ba Nan o kinilig ka? Yihee!

Time to Eat!
May 15, '08 3:42 AM

Kainan na ang teens! Matapos ibitag at manok at lutuin ito, ready to eat na ang tinolang manok. Pero siyempre bago yun, presentation muna. Nauna ang group nila Mikan at kareer ang house player sa pagbuild up ng tinolang manok. Ang group naman ni Priscilla, imbis na manok ang ibenta, binenta ang bamboo na ginamit sa paggawa nito. Hmm.. Sinong team kaya ang nakagawa ng tinolang manok na panalo sa panlasa ng officers?

Teens learn the map
May 14, '08 10:42 PM

Kung rappelling ang activity kahapon, ngayon naman map reading at land navigation. Kakaiba talaga si Ejay sa nakalipas na araw dahil todo volunteer talaga siya. Ngayon siya naman ang naunang magvolunteer para basahin ang mga nakasulat sa projector. Simple lang daw magbasa ng mapa at kailangan lang tandaan ang ibig sabihin ng mga kulay. Kung green lines, mapuno, kung blue lines, matubig. Ayun naman pala! Madali lang daw housemates go guys!

Hard Decisions

2008-05-16T03:04:00.000-07:00

May 16, 2008 1:16 AM

It’s the third day of the housemates under military discipline. From having an inverted meal to rappelling to catching and cooking frogs for lunch, the teens trudged through. With their game faces on, the teens gamely overcame their fears. It was only with the last task that some faltered. Unlike Val who was extremely enthusiastic at the chase, some weren’t as keen. Beauty, Nikki, Mikan, Nan and Ejay all were terrified of frogs, but the officers pushed them to do it. Like the gritty teens they were, they passed with flying colors.

The boys also performed a froggy rap, led by Ejay (who felt faint at the meal), in commemoration of their froggy meal that they had to personally catch. This was done after a frog-eating game, won by Mikan, that earned them another 5 merits. Only 5 more to go and they would have successfully achieved the 100-merit mark. The first PBB Mud wrestling was also held. Robi “Kilabot” Domingo won the first round versus Nan. Alex “Vava-voom” Anselmuccio was victorious against Ejay. Between the two, Vava-voom went on to wrestle Mikan “Baby Phat” Ong in the championship round, and was declared the winner!

During formation, the officers saw Andi crying yet again. It was quite distracting, so they gave her time to settle down and rest. When she went into the Confession Room, Andi was packed and ready to go. She thanked Kuya for the lessons learned, but was already decided in leaving the house. Andi felt she was emotionally unprepared for the way of life in Kuya’s house: being without her mom, not having freedom to move and see other people. It’s a done deal: another House Player is out.

As a teen exits, so will another guardian. The Final Teen Council – composed of Robi, Rona, Val and Pris – were called individually to decide who among the guardians will be evicted. 3 out of 4 chose Mommy Sandy, and though it was difficult, Nikki accepted it fully. However, Beauty was granted the power to change things. As it is said, “With great power comes great responsibility.” She took time to talk to the teens individually, and in the end, decided to exchange her mom for the survival of Tita Sandy. She felt that Tita Sandy needed it more, and that she has now come to the realization that not everything can be bought by money. This was a big step from someone who used to be quite materialistic and was the little princess. Nikki was overwhelmed by the gesture and the others were all praises for Beauty.

Sisid Seashells, Mommy Minda: Guardian of the Night

2008-05-16T03:03:00.000-07:00

May 15, 2008 7:24 PM

The teens are divided into three teams on Uber today. Team A is composed of Mikan, Nan and Rona, Team B by Valerie, Ejay and Nicole and Team C included Beauty, Alex and Robi. Kuya would give out a question about a housemate and Priscilla would have to pick a seashell in a fishbowl with a letter on it. A representative of each team would dive for the sea shell with the matching letter and whoever swims to shore first would get to answer the question.

Questions ranged from who’s taking up what course in college, who’s crushing on whom to who eats rice the most. House player Mikan stepped up his game plan and swam for the seashells eager to answer Kuya’s questions. The teens got giggly when Mikan answered Kuya’s question of whom he was crushing on among the housemates. The house player bravely answered that it was Beauty whom he liked. Though Mikan tried to impress the Rebellious Girl with his diving skills, Ejay’s group swam the fastest and emerged victorious.

Meanwhile, Mommy Minda is awarded Guardian of the Night during a fashion show and she gets to cook lasagna and play games with Alex inside a special room as her prize. Alex enjoyed his mom’s yummy cooking and also taught his mom on how to play games on the Play Station. While the two enjoyed inside Kuya’s reward room, the housemates were also having a blast with the girls’ mini-concert. Armed with sandoks, the girls sang their hearts out to Avril Lavigne songs.

Although Mikan’s success in his previous task yet remains to be seen, he has a new mission lined up this afternoon. He has to open up and get close with housemate Rona, who got the highest votes in today’s poll. Will Mikan conquer this task? Check out this story and more of the teens’ boot camp activities later on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus on primetime

Mikan accomplishes his task but Alex is out to get him, Ejay penalized...

2008-05-16T03:00:00.000-07:00

May 15, 2008 4:22 PM

For the fourth time this week, the Air Force troop marched into the house to continue with the housemates’ military training. They noticed Alex’s multi-colored nails and reprimanded him about it. Alex, who was completely clueless about his painted nails, received several rounds of frog walking as punishment. Afterwards, he was ordered to remove the nail polish in 10 counts and the Italian Valentino scrubbed it in haste.

The drill officer was still in utter disbelief that Alex slept like a log and didn’t feel someone painting his nails. Ejay, who slept in the bed next to Alex’s, was then interrogated and the Promdie Hottie vehemently denied any involvement with nail painting. The officer then gave Alex an assignment to find out who between his “bed neighbors” Robi and Ejay committed the offense. Alex, on the other hand, has a strong suspicion that Mikan is responsible for the deed. Will he blow the house player’s cover?

Besides being under suspicion of being a ‘manikurista’, Ejay was also penalized by the drill officer for wearing an earring in the line-up. The housemate then diligently did his punishment of jumping jacks and even actively participated in today’s lecture about reading maps and navigation. The teens learned about the different kinds of maps the military used. By memorizing the color codes, the teens will be able to easily navigate in their destination. Brown lines signify the mountains while the blue lines indicate a body of water. Black lines are for man made structures and green lines imply vegetation. The officers reminded everyone to take care of their maps since it’s colors fade out quickly and would disorient them should this happen.

Confused Cupid - Mikan settled at ease

2008-05-14T18:31:00.000-07:00

May 15, 2008 5:48 AM

Ejay and Valerie went aside to have a serious talk. Valerie was quite disappointed with Ejay’s conflicting statements, with other people and most especially, regarding his feelings towards her. She told Ejay that she was having a difficult time believing him, especially if he keeps on changing his mind. If Ejay could change his mind quickly about others, what more with her? Val asked Ejay if he believed in her, as she felt that he was still questioning her moves and statements, and Val was already getting frustrated. Good thing she got to unwind with Rona’s supposed hot seat show!

Mikan settled into the house and the teens with ease. After taking off his mask and introducing himself (He earlier introduced himself with, “Hi, I’m Shy”), the teens hugged him and welcomed him. Of course, the fact taht he prepared ahearty breakfast for them may also have played a part. Rona even helped him fix up, while Mikan shared part of his childhood. Mikan admitted that he had a crush on Beauty, yet later, as he was sitting with Rona, the Positive Girl teased him to Valerie. Is Cupid playing musical careers with the tandems? Rona claimed it was now Ejay-Nikki and Mikan-Val. Will Mikan and Andy be able to step up and seriously fill Shy’s shoes at being House Players?

Boot camp continues - Mikan, Mr. Big Love

2008-05-14T18:29:00.000-07:00

May 15, 2008 5:39 AM

Mikan, Mr. Big Love from Olongapo, is the newest addition to the house. He took the place of ex-House Player, Shy – or did he? The first task of the House Players this week was to be clumsy with Robi. Since Andy was unable to get a move on it, Kuya gave her (ang Mikan) specific tasks to complete: spit water in Rob’s face, spill coffee down his back, and step on his big toe. Though they were almost able to accomplish their tasks, Kuya declared them non-winners. They failed to make an impression on Robi, aside from making him feel that there truly were secret tasks at hand. Both Andy and Mikon were saddened but admitted that they were unable to grab the correct opportunities. Indeed, Shy set the bar high enough to keep the other two continually on their toes. Andy was so homesick already, though only a few days in Kuya’s house. She was sad and missed her mom terribly, especially when she sees the guardians. She saw the kind of freedom PBB offers, which was unlike the familiar. She was also feeling the pressure brought about by coming in late, long after the others have bonded.

Speaking of pressure, all housemates scrambled about trying to get ready for the military exercises. All seemed well as their officers were happy with their improvements and granted them 26 merits and only 5 demerits. With a total of 60 merits, will the teens use their skills wisely to reach the 100 merit-mark? After physical training, Survival Skills were taught: knots, making a balsa or raft, chopping a coconut properly, and cooking. They tasted the fruits of their labor afterwards, as they shared a meal and became human motors to the floating raft.

Priscilla, on the other hand, was definitely less enthusiastic than they are. The rigid training was talking too much to handle, and Capt. Bernabe had to talk to her several times (with Beauty as an interpreter). She was reminded that she was not different from the rest, so it would be unfair to exempt her. This irritated Priscilla, because Val and Beauty were excused for health reasons. The Captain reminded them that they are there for a reason, not to pull the teens down. All were tired, but they kept on going. No less was expected from her.

The teens and the guardians had another tandem task: dance revo! However, after exercising their aching muscles to the tune of hip songs, they had more work ahead of them. They got back from the task to a ransacked house (c/o ex-housemate Bianca G), and were only given exactly 30 minutes to put the house back in order. Ejay stepped up to delegate, and though most of the house was back in shape, all were sure of demerits from their officers.

Palakasan sa Putikan - Shy on Uber

2008-05-14T18:28:00.000-07:00

May 14, 2008 8:29 PM

After three days of intense military training, the boys feel they are fit for today’s challenge on Uber. Kuya has ordered the boys to compete in Palakasan sa Putikan, a mud wrestling match. The housemate who gets thrown out of the muddy ring five times will be declared the loser of the round and the winning teen would move on to the finals to beat heavy weight "Baby Fat" Mikan. The first teens to compete were Robi a.k.a "Kilabot" and Nan a.k.a. "Bato". The two struggled in the muddy pit while the girls pumped their fists in the air and cheered their bets on. Luis Manzano, stationed at the Uber studio commented on the combat game and placed his bet on Nan. However, the "Kilabot" proved too much for "Bato" and defeated him quickly.

Watch Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus tonight after Lobo for Andi's first few hours of bonding with the teen housemates. Keep those votes coming in for the teen housemate you want to save from this week's eviction. Help them out by voting online or text BB (name of housemate) and send it to 2331 (for Globe, Sun and TM subscribers) or 231 for (Smart and Talk N Text subscribers). Kuyanatics in UAE may also now vote by texting BB (name of housemate) and sending it to 4200 (for Etisalat subscribers).

The next fighters were Ejay "Barako" and Alex "Vavavoom". The two looked like an equal match, both being tall and of the same weight but Alex beat Ejay with no difficulty at all. Alex then faced Robi in the semi-final round and defeated the Atenean effortlessly. Will Alex be able to win easily over a big and tough opponent like "Baby Fat" Mikan?

Meanwhile, Shy was interviewed live on Uber today. According to the first house player ng bayan, she wasn’t having much fun inside Kuya’s house anymore and therefore decided to leave. She also revealed that out of all the housemates, she was most at ease with Rona and at odds with Priscilla. The teen house player also said that Robi, Rona, Valerie and Alex deserve to be part in Big Four.

If House Player Shy pulled off her special tasks, Second House Player Andi seem to have trouble doing hers. She connived with Mikan in order to successfully push through with her "clumsy on Robi" task. She said that Mikan would be in charge of stepping on his big toe while it was up to her to "accidentally" spill coffee on his back. Will the two measure up to Shy’s success in the previous week? It was noticeable that Andi was absent in the wrestling match. She has been gone for most of the day until now. Does this mean that the second house player already surrendered on her assignment and decided to exit like Shy? Find out the answers to these later on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus on Primetime!

Facing fears!

2008-05-14T18:19:00.000-07:00

May 14, 2008 2:44 PM

The teens started off the day with a team breakfast and everything was done in military style. The food was portioned and the eating was timed. And to add to their growing indigestion was the way they had to eat their food – with a ruler straight back and with the food to be brought to their mouth. To emphasize teamwork, they had to share a cup of water, and they had to eat the leftovers of their teammate so as not to waste food.

The teens were then given a brief lecture on rappelling. Besides Robi and Nicole, nobody else had experienced it and all listened intently. The officers differentiated the kinds of rappelling. One of which is the run down, similar to that of a spider. And the other is the standard, which Robi and Nicole had tried out and would be experienced by the rest. The officers also warned them on rope burns, but besides that, they had nothing to fear. One crucial advice for the teens was to trust and give their confidence to the rope.

Everyone was psyched with the activity. The buddy system would be used and the teens paired up. First up the wall was True Blue Atenista Robi. He seemed to enjoy it much that as soon as he got down, he wanted to have another go at it again. The lecture appeared easy for the teens, but as soon as they were up, all buckled with the activity. They fumbled and struggled with the rope and the officers constantly reminded them to trust the ropes and hold on to it.

After this grueling task, the teens were incredibly famished. Despite this, they had no choice and still had to catch their lunch. They were first taught how to improvise on a fishing rod using a kawayan and then attach the bait on the hook. However they weren’t going to catch fish for their lunch. The officers tipped over a basket and released live frogs. The creatures wildly hopped and the teens frantically ran the other way. Everyone was totally terrified with the green creatures except for Valerie and Rona who enjoyed running after them. To boost up the teens, the officers announced that the first to accomplish adobong palaka would get five merits. All stepped up their game except for Beauty and Nicole. The officers firmly called everyone into a straight line and forcefully had them hold a frog each. Nicole avoided the equally scared frog like the plague while Beauty sobbed loudly in a corner. The two eventually got over it thanks to Rona and Valerie who convinced them that the frogs were harmless.

Everyone then cooked with much precision and dogged determination to earn the merits. Who among them will weasel out merits from the hard-to-please officers? Meanwhile, house player Andi had gone missing since this morning. Did she surrender to the pressure and followed Shy’s footsteps?

Shy falls out of the ranks

2008-05-13T21:45:00.000-07:00

May 13, 2008 10:53 PM

The teens were startled into waking up with an ear-splitting reveille, signifying the beginning of their military exercises. The 505^th Search and Rescue Squad of the Philippine Air Force led by Capt. Cecilia Bernabe were invited in the house to help prep the teens for their upcoming big island adventure. Teamwork, camaraderie and discipline, among other important values, will be taught to them. There was no room for a wimpy attitude, and the officers soon put a stop to over-sensitive aches and pains. Neither was there space for smart-alecky remarks, not even Shy’s arrogant snubbing of the officer’s authority. During the physical training, Nikki complained that she had trouble breathing. After a quick assessment, the officers dismissed her complaints and she had to go on. Andy hyperventilated and her muscles froze, prodding the officers to carry her off to a side and help her regain sensation in her numbing extremities. Alex was made to repeat saying “Sir, yes, Sir!” until he said it firmly enough. After, the teens broke into three teams to clean the house. Part of the survival skills were time management and cooking using available resources. The teens learned how to start a fire and cook their own simple food. Of course, they had to keep neat appearances, and one way of ensuring this was by having their boots well-shined. They also had to move quickly, and even their baths were done in double-time.

The Captain told Priscilla off for being lax. She was expected to cope, and no one was about to baby her. Too tired, Priscilla wanted out, not only of the military exercises, but of the PBB experience altogether. She approached Kuya to grant her exemption from physical activities, but Kuya reminded her that she cannot choose which tasks she wanted to participate in while the other housemates were working hard at it. Andy, too, was affected to the point of crying. She figured it was due to her still adjusting to the new environment, then the shock of rigid tasks.

The original House Player, Shy, chose to fall out of ranks. Kuya called her in the Confession Room to call her attention to her lack of respect for authority. Shy explained that she wanted out. Kuya urged her to see things through, explaining that it has only been a week and she needed to fully experience being inn the house. Shy was adamant: she wasn’t enjoying anymore and wanted to be in familiar surroundings with familiar people. In the end, Kuya accepts her voluntary exit and the rest of the housemates weren’t able to see her again.

Mican Ong, the new House Player ng Bayan, entered the house early this morning. His first task was to be seen preparing breakfast for them. He was one of the 30 teens, known only as My Big Love, who was given the key but didn’t make the final cut. Still, destiny led him inside. It’s a good thing that Andy had someone to help her accomplish the tasks, especially since Kuya wasn’t particularly impressed with her execution of her first. To guide her, Kuya gave specific instructions on how to be clumsy with Robi: spill coffee on his back, throw a drink in his face and step on hid big toe. Next task would be to make Ejay (winning 31.77% of the votes) happy. Up for decision would be to decide which housemate will wake up to multi-colored nail polish. Will it be Rona, Priscilla, Val or Alex? It’s your call, Kapamilya! Make sure you stay glued to updates because this week is the guardians’ last week in the house. Daily tandem tasks will be given to make the most of it, which started with last night’s pageant, and their stay will be capped with the Guardians’ Big Night on Sunday.

Mican, who replaced Shy, fit in smoothly with the housemates. It was Andy, the second House Player, who was having a difficult time coping with the demands of the PBB house. In fact, she has spent the last couple of days crying about this and that. She opened up to fellow House Player Mican that she felt sad whenever she sees the other teens with their guardians. She had never really appreciated her family’s presence, most especially her mom, and it was in being in the PBB house that she was hit with the realizations. Looking back at the past Mothers’ Day, the day she entered Kuya’s house, she realized that she abrely even talked to her mom. Mican played the elder brother and explained that there was a reason why each of them was put in the house. All of them, too, had the capacity to change and adapt. Andy still continued crying, and soon the other housemates were by her side. Will Andy follow Shy out of the house or choose to grow within Kuya’s house?

Meanwhile, Beauty was having difficulty walking after a day of vigorous training. Ejay committed a grave offense when he asked Mican if he saw the goings-on from outside. Will Kuya add him to the list of automatic nominees? Keep watching and checking updates on Uber and Primetime Bida, right after Lobo!

Buko and Alimango lunch
May 13, '08 2:02 AM

Dinala ang teens sa activity area at tinuruan sila kung paano magbalat ng buko at manghuli ng alimango. Game naman ang teens dahil gutom na gutom na sila especially itong si Beauty. Naku Beauty nag-exercise ka nga kanina sabay banat mo naman sa pagkain ng pananghalian! Hirap ang teens sa paghuli ng alimango dahil isang stick lang ang kailangan nilang gamitin. Idagdag mo pa dito ang pagbalat ng buko. Pero after naman nilang gawin ito, voila! mas appreciate na nila ang pinaghirapang lunch nila

Sink or Swim?
May 13, '08 2:56 AM

Gumawa ang teens ng isang raft gawa sa mga bamboo. Ang tanong: lulutang kaya ito o lulubog? In fairness lumutang ang raft ng teens! Ngunit hindi pa nagtatapos doon ang pagsubok. Kailangan ng teens makatungtong dito. Isa-isa silang dumiskarte kung paano sumakay dito at ang first na nagvolunteer ay si Ejay. Yes daring na nga ang Promdie Hottie ngayon. Mabilis siyang nakasakay at mabilis niyang naipagalaw ang gawa-gawa nilang raft. Good job Ejay mukhang mag-survive ka sa Island!

Housemates welcome Mikan while keeping up with their training

This morning, new house player Mikan Ong entered Kuya’s house and cooked breakfast for the teens. Wearing a mask similar to Shy’s, he diligently prepared a hearty meal before any of the housemates stirred from bed. When everyone was up, he then gathered them around and revealed his identity. Some recognized him as part of the 30 dreamers in the first cut of auditions. However, with “My Big Love’s” appearance the original house player Shy went missing.

For a second, the teens thought they were saved from back breaking training today because of their guest. But, as if on cue, the Philippine Air Force officers marched in, banged on their doors and started screaming orders. The housemates all quickly dressed and fell in line. At the blow of the whistle, the teens dropped to the ground and performed floor exercises. Everyone had difficulty performing the routine and had to repeat it over and over again. Even when they executed it perfectly, the officers “rewarded” them with five more repetitions.

Among the other teens, Priscilla had the hardest time coping with the harshness of the officers and the difficulty of the drills. She complained of her sore muscles and aching body so Chief Commanding Officer Capt. Cecilia Bernabe advised her that the mind is superior and it should be placed over matter, over body and heart. She also added that the Differently-Abled Teen is only hearing impaired and her body is in full working good condition. But Priscilla also insisted that she’s affected by all the shouting. Capt. Bernabe explained that what they are doing are their jobs and they’ve got nothing personal against the teens.

Daily drills and rigorous work-outs aren’t the only things the teens have to do this week. The housemates were also expected to keep the house spic and span. Under the watchful eyes of the officers, the teens washed the dishes and swept the floor. Anyone caught not doing anything will be penalized with push-ups. After the chores, the teens were then taught how to tie different knots like the square kno and over-hand loop, which are crucial for survival training.

Is Mikan a replacement of the first house player? How would he challenge the housemate’s character? Will the teens be able to handle the pressure of training and bring with them the essentials of survival for their Island Adventure? Be updated on the teens’ activities by logging on to the PBB Multiply Site. Also get more details of Mikan’s entrance later on Uber!

For love of Moms & PBB Guardian of the Night

For Mothers’ Day, the teens that still had their moms in the house – Alex, Beauty, Nikki and Nan – were up bright and early in time to wake their moms with breakfast in bed, a bouquet of flowers and a card. No eyes were left dry as their mothers read the letters their kids wrote them. The teens thanked their moms for opportunities given, sacrifices made, overflowing support, love and TLC. If the other three were used to their kids’ sweetness, Mommy Sandy’s surprise was evident at Nikki’s gesture. She was beaming as Nikki read her letter that opened doors for a renewed relationship between mother and daughter, a huge leap from their earlier interactions. As she later shared with Kuya, this was the first time Nikki truly opened up to her.

More surprises were in store for the moms, though. Kuya granted each teen a request, a gift for their moms. Alex approached Mommy Minda with a single red rose and sang her an OPM song. Mommy Sandy got 100 seconds with her youngest child, Zack. Beauty and Mommy Carina were tearfully grateful to have heard her dad’s voice as he delivered a testimony to Mommy Carina’s motherhood. Nan got Mommy My Love a visit from hubby Daddy Arnel. Despite the sad news that he’ll soon be off to sea, Mommy My Love had Nan crying as she assured him of her happiness at his efforts.

Meanwhile, something’s quite off with the lovebirds. Insecurity hit Ejay once again, and though Val urged him to be patient, he was already entertaining the thought of stopping his courtship of the Dazzling Doll. Best bud Nan advises him to enjoy things and not rush. Still in an emotional state, he tells Val that he felt she did not appreciate his efforts. As Aga’s character in the movie “When Love Begins” said, “Sometimes, I feel that you don’t care for me.” This had Valerie crying in frustration, because all the while she thought that Ejay understood her appreciation and interpreted her tears of joy correctly. Eventually, he shared his earlier thought of stopping his courtship, but decided that he couldn’t: he has to follow his heart. With a smile, Val agreed.

House Player Shy seemed to have managed to rock the boat of the Beauty-Alex tandem. Lately, Shy and Alex had been sharing tender moments, and though this was not unnatural for the Italian Valentino, Beauty couldn’t help but feel affected and betrayed. Alex noticed this immediately and set about trying to make amends, starting with wearing Beauty’s jacket, to no avail. He upped the ante by asking Kuya’s help to appease her, and to the melody of “If We Fall In Love”, Alex charms Beauty into a dance that rewarded him with their renewed bond.

House Player Andy has started on her task to be clumsy towards Robi, who was chosen by the people, with more than 50% of the text votes. For the next task, you get to choose who among these four housemates get to be made happy by the house players:a. Priscilla, b.Val, c. Alex ,and d. Ejay.

After spit-shining and heating their military boots, the teens went on to more fun things. It was such a rainy day and the weather was perfect for a cozy get-together. Kuya had both households merge and have a pageant: the search for the PBB Guardian of the Night.

The guardians got their outfits out and their kids served as their stylists and make-up artists. Daddy Erning was quite easy to dress up, and Ejay fitted him with his best pink polo and coat. The mommies were quite a handful, though. Alex gamely helped Mommy Minda with her sheer evening dress and make up. Of all, Mommy Minda was the one who strutted and practiced her walk, prompting Mommy My Love to ask if she had been a model before. Another point of discussion were her super cool boots that all agreed was a more hip choice than her pumps. Mommy Carina was urged by Beauty to wear make-up as opposed to her classic look, and it did wonders to bring out her features. Mommy Sandy was a pretty picture in a pink dress, her hair fixed by Nikki. Nan was down on his knees as he tied Mommy My Love’s shoelaces as he fixed her up in jeans and a hoodie, her typical outfit, apparently. The girls would have none of it and insisted she change outfits. She emerged in a flowing tube dress and was truly blooming.

AsNikki, Alex, Ejay, Beauty and Nan were busy primping their parents, the rest were occupied with fixing the props and flow of the pageant. Rona and Priscilla exercised their hosting skills as they were the pageant hosts. Valerie and Andy served as judges, joined by Ms. Roberta Domingo (initially planned to be Roba Domanga), who was actually Robi in drag. He played his role to the hilt: full make-up, a tiara and a haltered mini-dress plus his careful covering of legs, a tearful wave, and a double-cheek beso to the guardians. So effective was he that he had the other boys have goose bumps over it and Daddy Erning shying away from his gentle strokes and besos.

The preliminary questions were silly ones, leaving a lot of room for free interpretation. For the talent portion, Daddy Erning played the guitar and sand “Ang Bayan Kong PIlipinas” and the classic “Anak”. Mommy Minda dedicated “All I See is You” to Alex’s dad, sung a capella. Mommy Carina and Mommy Sandy danced while Mommy My Love sang as well. After the final Q & A, the winners were announced, awarding the PBB Guardian of the Night to Mommy Minda. So excited was she that she hopped for joy at receiving the “crown” from the previous “queen”, Ms. Roberta Domingo. The pageant ended with everyone grooving along to the PBB theme song. To watch more of the pageant, catch it on Uber and Primetime Bida!

Andi plays ball

Andi surprised the boys with her pro-like basketball moves which she learned from her father. The house player first faced off with Robi in a half-court game where the Atenean felt uneasy playing rough with a girl. But as Andi fired up her game, Robi decided to level up his skills. After the three minute one-on-one match, the Atenean scored six points against Andi’s four.

Nan was next to challenge Andi and the Junior Kenkoy used his speed to escape the house player's strong defense. Will Andi steal this game from the boys? Catch Uber tomorrow for the results.

Meanwhile, latest evictee Josef and his Tita Anna shared their feelings about getting kicked out with Uber host Bianca. Despite his eviction, Josef felt happy to be reunited with his family, but he still has to clear things up with his girlfriend. The Lasallite also clarified that although he and Nicole became very close inside the house, he still treats the In-Chick as just a close friend--at least for now. Josef even wore the red jacket that Nicole gave to him to the interview.

Tita Anna advised her nephew to take things slow with Nicole and for the meantime, enjoy the life that's ahead of him. She later revealed that she had already spoken with Daddy John and settled their issues.

2nd House Player - Andrea Eigenmann

2008-05-11T20:33:00.000-07:00

After the entrance of Farina “Shy” Runkle last week inside the Pinoy Big Brother house as the “House Player” ng bayan, another house player entered the house Sunday night and she is celebrity daughter Andrea “Andi” Eigenmann.

Andi Eigenmann is the daughter of veteran actors Jacklyn Jose and Mark Gil. She played the role of Sandy in the weekday daytime soap Prinsesa ng Banyera which is currently shown on ABS-CBN.

In the confession room, Big Brother instructed Andi with her task as the 2nd teen houseplayer. She was also introduced by Big Brother to the first house player, Shy.

Andi will now help Shy in exposing the true colors of the teen housemates to help the televiewers in picking the right person to win. Big Brother congratulated Shy for a job well done in exposing the true colors of some female teen housemates who are currently nominated for eviction this week. That’s why this time, Big Brother gave the mission to both Shy and Andi to “challenge” the character of the teen housemates, specially the guys.
