HMs Learn Some Flight Tricks

November 17, 2007 4:05 PM

If there's one thing that a housemate will learn inside the PBB house, it's learning how to improvise during desperate times. During the presentation of the "Lipad Chopper Lipad" task, our celebrity housemates used their wild imagination in winning this weekly task. Instead of using the remote control in flying the toy choppers, everyone, out of frustration, just held the choppers in their hand and passed it from one helipad, then through the series of loops, and finally, to the landing helipad. However, Big Brother did not allow the housemates to fly away with cheating, and he declared the weekly task a failure. But Kuya admitted that he had a great time watching the wacky flight tricks, so he handed the housemates a prize for their creativity.

Baron was the first to take the control, but on his first try, the blue chopper lost power, so the Wild Child tried his luck on the red chopper. But right after starting the control, the red chopper instantly crashed to the ground. Convinced that he will not be able to do the task, Baron frustratingly picked the chopper guided it across the loops and into the landing pad with his bare hands. Everyone laughed at Baron's foolish antics, but realizing that the trick made sense, they also employed the same tactic.

In the end, the housemates just decided to play around with the task without even worrying about the 75% bet that they were about to lose, as if what was more important was for all of them to have fun. Ethel even reasoned that according to Kuya's instructions, the choppers must get through the loops and land on the helipad, but there was no mention that they must use the control. Jon even took the helipad and used it to toss the chopper through one loop to another. But of all the madness in the crazy task, it was Will and Baron's act that was the winner. Will moved the chopper around like a true helicopter in an action flick, and as added fun, Baron stepped up on one building and pretended like King Kong. It was an impressive acting that Big Brother later commented "Baron, may hawig!"

But all in all, Kuya was disappointed with the turn out of the task. He then announced the heartbreaking crash failure of all the housemates. At first, Kuya thought of handing Php 1,500 worth of budget for next week. But to everyone's surprise, Big Brother decided to give out two special awards worth Php 500 each. Baron was hailed as Best Supporting Actor for his King Kong performance, while Will earned the title of Most Creative Flight. As a total budget for next week, our celebrity housemates will have Php 2,500.

It's the end of the line for Megan

It's been a punishment week for the housemates for all of them committed a violation one way or the other. Kuya showered them with personal tasks left and right. And aside from the hardships they also lost their weekly task this afternoon. Will the housemates' luck pick-up in the coming weeks?

The moment Ethel, Ruben and Megan dread arrives with Toni asking each of the nominees why they should remain and extend their stay. Ethel gave a loud laugh for she is actually longing to see the outside world. "Parang baliktad ata!" she exclaimed and just thanked her supporters. Megan goes next and she shares that being a housemate is one big journey for her and she feels she has still a lot to accomplish inside. Ruben on the other hand tells everyone that everyone will miss the Probinsyanong Promdi if ever he gets the boot.

Toni then lets Ruben of the hook and frees him of his black medallion. Relief flooded the comedian’s face while the two ladies remain in the hot seat. Ethel's looks of anticipation to see her 'baby' was erased when Toni announced Megan as this season's third evictee. Megan tearfully hugged everyone good-bye and made her way to the eviction hall to meet Toni. After getting a warm welcome hug from her mom, Megan proceeded to leave her footprints in the Celebrity Walk of Fame.

Ruben accumulated a total of 54.76% of tonights votes while Ethel received 23.72%. Megan was actually hot on her heels with 21.52% of the votes.

Who will be following Megan's exit next week? In only a few hours the housemates will be choosing the next set of nominees for tomorrow's nomination night. However, Kuya will be applying an extra-ordinary nomination process for this one. Hmm...what could his new scheme be? Yayo's daughter's birthday, the results of the chain punishment and the 5th set of nominees -- all that on tomorrow's edition of Pinoy Big Brother after That's My Doc. Don't miss it!

Will the housemates lose their seventy five percent bet this week? If they don’t want to scrape their budget, then they better make it good in their 'Lipad Chopper Lipad Task'. But they are yet to master the technique in flying the toy choppers for them to land specific spots. They’ve been practicing mostly during the day but various distractions have kept them from perfecting the whole assignment. Just think of all the punishments they have faced these past few days. It makes one think that Big Brother is kind of sabotaging a possible win. Whatever it is, let’s just keep our fingers crossed for them.

Here they are though sitting pretty the whole night without a care for what tomorrow will bring. Without Big Brother’s signal for rehearsal, they’ve got a long stretch of spare time on their hands. Will, Riza, Megan and Victor spent it by finishing off a penalty for a still unknown violation. All four of them were bound inside a giant pajama bottoms for the whole day. They were forced to synchronize their movements since they have to be together at all times. As usual, they weren’t allowed to share the story behind their condition no matter how curious the others were.

Then a while ago, they were called one by one inside the confession room perhaps to discuss their respective offenses. The Princess of Charm was the last one who had a one-on-one talk with Big Brother. And when she came out, she announced that they are free to go except for her! She’s not totally alone however because a giant stuffed toy was given to her as company inside the equally big pajamas. At one point, Victor commiserated with her by the floor but Baron’s teasing eventually made him go away.

As for now, they are all at a loss as to what they are going to do next. Yayo feels that Big Brother will suddenly land them a task or something when they are sleepy already. Will and Riza on the other hand are still missing somewhere inside the house. Sigh… What are Kuya’s plans anyway? Keep it here for the latest happenings on Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2.

Learning from Mistakes

November 16, 2007 10:37 PM

Yesterday’s wake up call signaled the 18 Roses Marathon of the celebrity housemates for Mommy Yayo’s fresh debutante. It was kind of funny how she recognized the Waltz then later realized that it’s her daughter’s birthday! Much later, Big Brother conveyed through Mcoy how she’s entitled to give her grown up girl a present after accomplishing a nonstop 18-hour cotillion dance. Fortunately, everyone enjoyed doing their part until way after midnight. On the other hand, Victor’s absence during the day was a result of his detainment after taking some chips from the storage room, beyond the allotted time given to them last Sunday. Somehow mirroring Will, Mariel and Marylaine’s imprisonment before, Victor was asked to peel off heaps of small potatoes inside the punishment room. Naturally, he felt bad since he missed all the action outside. And while doing the chore, he dozed off, only to be awakened by Big Brother’s booming voice which he mistook as God’s! It was only after 11 hours before he was finally free to join all the fun. But even as he took his place on the dance, he managed to cook mashed potatoes for them to eat! Meanwhile, Baby Poshy’s having a difficult time with all the baby talk as well as her cramped condition inside the crib. Good thing she had her “parents” to look after her well-being. However, it became clear that she preferred Daddy Will more than Riza who happens to be a mere step-mom according to her. The Desirable Diva even shared this to Big Brother since she’s uncertain how to implement discipline on her “child” if the latter’s rejecting her affections. Then the True Lover came to his conclusion that perhaps Baby Poshy ‘has a crush on her daddy’! Big Brother merely warned them though about their young one’s unexpected behavior like being able to stand by herself while singing. By this time, Ruben even quipped, “Baby ka ba or G.R.O.?” Despite all these hilarious antics, Ethel later revealed in the confession room how depressing her situation is, knowing that she has been desperate to have a baby ever since. And Yayo’s sacrifice for her daughter further rubs her inability to do so, she tearfully uttered. Moreover, she disliked being a burden to both Will and Riza, who lost their chance to get to know each other more because the Ultimate Pasaway was with them during their movie date. In the meantime, you can decide who among the nominated housemates deserve to be saved.

Mariel takes the stage

November 16, 2007 7:05 PM

Mariel first did a tap dance number with Victor and Megan. Victor was the one who taught Mariel how to tap dance since the Lonely Dreamboy had been studying the moves since he was in high school after seeing the Australian film "Bootmen." At first, Mariel was reluctant in learning tap dance, but after a series of rehearsals with Victor, she managed to put on a great show for her housemates.

Afterwards, Mariel faced her worst fear when she took the microphone and sang with Mcoy. Mariel sang "If Ever I See You Again," the housemates' eviction-theme originally composed by the Musikerong Daddy himself. Mcoy played the guitar and sang back-up to help Mariel. Despite a couple of mishaps, Mariel was able sing, although she failed to hold back the tears because of the song's touching lyrics. Finally, Mariel showed her tough side as she showcased some basic taekwondo moves with Donnie. With Donnie's 7th place win in the 2004 Athens Olympics, there was no other housemate who can best teach Mariel all those kicks and punches. Despite her size, Mariel proved that she can also be rough and hard. After the show, all the celebrity housemates cheered Mariel for the simple yet meaningful achievement of hers. Mariel thanked everyone for she wouldn't have been able to perform without their help.

But when will Mariel actually bid her housemates good-bye? Stay tuned to PBB Uber and check this site for more updates! Also, catch Yayo's 'cotillion' and Baby Posh's reason for depression on Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2, later after Lastikman
