Mariel's Happy Return

December 11, 2007 11:53 PM

Tonight, we have glimpsed the conclusion of Gladys’ voluntary exit which weighed heavily on Big Sister. Big Brother checked in on her twice to make sure that everything’s going smoothly despite Gladys’ protests to come out. Her depression lasted throughout day 57 and reached its climax when she burst into tears just when they were about to carry out their gift-giving activity. As such, everyone gathered in the girls’ bedroom to comfort her, leaving the 30 chosen kids waiting for the merry event to start. After the Queen of Patawa’s sobs died down, she then told them to proceed with the task without her.

The experience certainly brought in the spirit of Christmas for the Santa Housemates met the kids in person and even gave them a sleigh ride in the garden. Baron acted as Santa Claus while the rest of the guys played as his reindeers. They later reflected on the blessing of becoming instruments in bestowing joy through such simple endeavors. For them, seeing the young ones brighten up upon receiving their gifts was truly a priceless experience.

The next morning proved to be a better one for both Gladys and Big Sister. Though the Queen of Patawa was still unyielding towards her decision to leave, she’s calm enough to wait for Big Brother’s return. Hearing his voice in the middle of their afternoon game immediately lightened her mood, knowing that the time had finally arrived for her to leave. Together with the housemates, she found the consent she’s been asking for and left without the grandeur that usually marked a Saturday Eviction Night.

Not long after that, Big Brother called Jon in the confession room for the exclusive privilege of unraveling Big Sister’s location in the secret room. In true PBB fashion, Mariel’s homecoming was kept in suspense for sometime as the English Outcast fooled around by trying to emulate Big Brother’s voice. Baron later joined them but he quickly went out to give the ‘lovebirds’ their privacy. Then finally, everyone sought Mariel in her hideout to give her warm hugs for her happy return.

Now that Gaby dropped her earlier decision to leave and both Mariel and Ethel are back as houseguests with a mission, what adventures and mishaps can we expect from Kuya’s stellar residents? Catch the full-blown hilarity and drama of their lives in PBB Uber and Pinoy Big Brother Primetime Bida!
