If there’s one thing that can make Gaby dela Merced glow with happiness, it is being back to the racing world where she’s most comfortable at and where she surely knows what to do even with eyes closed. But after four months without practice, Chief Engineer-slash-Engine Turner Dominique Cuesta advised her to at least do a once-over for her to familiarize herself with the new track lay out.

Her position for the race was then determined through the qualifying time where she came fourth, a good feat considering her lack of practice, said Mr. Cuesta. As soon as the adrenaline-pumping chase began, the Racing Godess’ talent became evident as she easily drove her laps. She was definitely in control until she encountered an engine trouble as well as a battery problem!

Fortunately, the crew pulled out all stops just to make things possible for Gaby. Defeat was out of the question since she was aware of her great chance of winning. If the car refused to work, it would be totally frustrating, she relayed to Big Brother. And true to her word, she won first place despite being pitted against 2005 Philippine Touring Car Class “B” Champ Dennis Uy and 2004 Driver of the Year Luis Ramirez. As the latter noted, gender is not an issue in this male-dominated arena.

Soon, Gaby returned to Big Brother’s abode, tight-lipped about her spectacular experience in Subic International Raceway.

That same night, the primetime stretch also made way for celebrity house guest#2 Toni Gonzaga! Reminiscent of Mariel’s sudden entry before, she was shocked with the reality of what’s happening as soon as she saw her personalized set of toiletries! The mainstay host of PBB knew that she would have the same fate as her friend but not at this point. Holding her emotions in check though became impossible when she finally had the chance to talk to her mom on the phone for one minute.

Funnily enough, her concern towards her work remained utmost in her mind aside from her mother’s upcoming birthday. Still panic-stricken, she chattered how the housemates may find her strict because of her role as a host including her ongoing diet just for the show, unsuspecting that this is all it will come to. Eventually, she gained her courage to face the housemates and even enjoyed a slumber party in honor of her addition to the household.

Apart from these happenings, more questions rise as to what made BB’s Spy cry? And who’s the sender of the letter which Toni passed to her? Is it really from Big Brother telling her that she’d be gone from his home within the week? Or is it from her special friend Zandjoe Marudo like most viewers think? Be curious no more by tuning in to Kuyarazzi Bea Saw’s daily updates, Uber at 5:30 p.m. and on primetime episode of Pinoy Big Brother
