The “Big Night” Confusion

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!

The underground river is reputed to be the world's longest. At the mouth of the cave, a clear lagoon is framed by ancient trees growing right to the water's edge. Monkeys, large monitor lizards, and squirrels find their niche on the beach near the cave.

Teens are back?

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!

All together now!

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

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!
