Big Brother’s plan for the next five days is a far cry from the interspersing challenges that we’ve witnessed last week. But if the housemates initially think that doing nothing is better than embarking on a frenzied activity, they now realize how difficult it is to sit still and wait for the signal to sleep. Becoming a house guest at this point is certainly unfortunate for Toni Gonzaga who looked like she would go crazy with the tedium inside the big yellow house. She kept asking everyone if it’s always like this. Later, she realized that the absence of tasks is what makes things dull at the moment. Gab agreed saying that though they usually fool around, hilarity comes spontaneously. As it is, laughter is hard to catch because of the pressure to stay on their feet.
Big Brother is now making them pay for being guilty of too much sleep on their part, hence, the Gising Na Gising Task. In this endeavor, they have to maximize the 25-hour limit of snoozing time throughout the whole week. Cheating is not possible because their in-house TV screen was turned into an electronic clock that will start ticking as soon as they doze off. Even power naps are counted so they agreed to refrain from doing so as this is a team effort.
With a long stretch of time to kill, they thought of playing games like Truth 
or Dare or Patintero. But the majority opted to simply resume their nonstop chat about anything under the sun. Toni advised however that they should keep their conversations light and easy. Because if they go emotional on each other, they will surely sleep heavily throughout the night.
Actually, they already have a game plan to ensure that they would win, given that they risked a hundred percent bet for this challenge. They decided to sleep from 1 a.m. until 6:00 a.m. But can they really do this? Will they be able to reserve their energy that will last them the whole week with this strict sleep schedule? Stay tuned!
If there’s one thing that can make Gaby dela 
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.
Another girl will rule the house this week! Riza booted out all the the other housemates in a competition to determine who will be this week's Head of Household. As we can all recall last week, Ethel was able to enjoy numerous priviliges, specifically the exclusive use of the shower room, and an instant immunity from the nomination. However, as HOH, Ethel also shouldered the responsibility of casting an automatic nomination on a particular housemate, a right which Ethel exercised against Megan.
start and finish line. Riza outspeed her fellow girls Yayo, Mariel, and previous H.O.H Ethel in the first qualifying round. Afterwards, the boys took their turn in the second race wherein Will won over Jon and Victor. Then on the last qualifier, Ruben finished last over Mcoy and the Racing Goddess herself, Gaby. The three qualifiers then faced each other in a three-lapsed final race. At first, Riza felt threatened as she had to beat two guys. But with her tactics and determination, the Desirable Diva managed to reach the finish line, with Ruben way behind her, and Will unable to pedal on his small go-cart. All the housemates cheered on Riza as she savored her sweet victory. 
As always, Big Brother has kept the housemates on their feet with surprises. Zara has received flowers from her special someone while Megan had her tabby cat Sugar for a house visit. Gaby had to leave the house too for a while to attend a racing event in Subic but had to get back within 24 hours. But nothing could have shocked the housemates more than 4 nominees and a brand new celebrity houseguest.
that she’s no acting ‘genuinely and is still clueless on what her goal is inside Kuya’s house. Can Megan stand another week inside the house? When will she be good enough for the other housemates?
Highest pointer on the nomination block with 10 votes is Baron. With his House Boy task this week, Baron revealed his real attitude towards chores which irked most of his housemates. Baron was also a little too brash on his comments, careless in giving out opinions and even offended some of the other celebrities. Will even called him bastos and inconsiderate. They have now discovered that the Geisler brothers are on the extremes – Donnie is the gentleman while Baron definitely lives up to his moniker, the Wild Child. Will the two in one housemates survive this week or will they meet the unfortunate fate of the 26K ladies too? 
brought in from the confession room two more medallions for Baron and Donnie to wear. The tense atmosphere inside the house didn’t even give room for Toni to make ‘chika’ with her fellow host and now houseguest Mariel Rodriguez. But it turns out that Kuya has another trick up his sleeve and is giving time for the two to bond! Toni gets presented a box similar to Mariel’s when she first entered the house. Almost on the verge of tears, Toni opened the box that contained her lapel mic, a robe and a ‘secret phone’, Kuya’s gift to his second celebrity housemate. What will Toni do now that she’s inside the house? Will she adjust as well as Mariel did?
