Jon Gets A Visit From His Mom!

November 09, 2007 10:44 PM

Among all the housemates, it was only Jon who was not able to receive a gift from a loved one when Ms. Kris Aquino visited them last Monday. This naturally filled everyone with curiosity since it’s so unlike Big Brother to make any of housemate feel left out.

Seeing that nothing was forthcoming, the English Outcast asked around if they think he had done something wrong, hence this sort of punishment from Kuya. It was Mariel who sweetly assured him not to worry about it since he is the “best housemate” after all. Still, Jon took the matter to Big Brother two days ago. This time, he was reassured of the same thing. Of course, he has something for all his residents. It’s just that his present for him is yet to come, Kuya explained.

And that time has finally arrived tonight! He was given a 100-second encounter with his mom to help him cope with the recent death of his Nanang Tacing. In the midst of the boys’ chore to dump the water from the kiddie pool to the surrounding plants outside, Jon was suddenly called in the confession room for this wonderful surprise.

But before that, PBB Host Ms. Toni Gonzaga had a brief talk with Mrs. Tess Mullaly first. As a son, she affirmed that Jonathan is really quiet by nature, giving the impression that he is a snob. However, he begins to warm up to people given enough time, she added. When asked about her opinion regarding the blossoming closeness between Jon and Mariel, it seemed that she really approved of their friendship.

Then with Big Brother’s signal, Mrs. Mullaly immediately went to see her son, showering him with kisses on the spot. Tears ran down his face as he mentioned his deceased aunt. It goes without saying that the presence of family mutually eased the pain of their loss and difficulties at the moment. On a lighter note, the two exchanged compliments before the special visit ended.

Nothing beats a heartwarming relationship between a mother and child isn’t it? But in the meantime, the celebrity housemates are busy polishing their grooves for tomorrow! Don’t dare miss their showdown dubbed as “Housemates Para Sa Inmates” inside the big yellow house! Will the guests get their money’s worth with their live presentation? Can’t hardly wait to see them break a leg!

Wet and wild Sponge Pass!

November 09, 2007 7:44 PM

Team A (Ethel, Ruben, Megan, Gaby, Will, and Baron) faced Team B (Riza, Jon, Yayo, Donnie, Mcoy, and Victor) in Kuya's dripping wet game today. With Mariel as the game official and commentator, each team must use a giant man-shape blue sponge in getting water from the pool. They then must fill up a kiddie pool by squeezing the contents of the sponge. The team who fills up their pools will win sponge baths from the group that loses.

Donnie and Baron took charge of soaking the giant sponges in the pool for their team. Jon and Will, with their large built, squeezed the soaked sponge in their respective kiddie pools. The rest of the members helped one another in carrying the heavy and soaked giant sponge from the house pool to the kiddie pool.

After a long round, Big Brother called the game off to see which kiddie pool had the most water. Unfortunately, both kiddie pools were filled with muddy water after the sponges were dragged to the wet ground. Kuya then announced that Team A had the most water, hence, they win the game.

Find out tomorrow to see what kind of sponge baths the winners received from the losers. Also don't forget to watch Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 tonight after Lastikman to see who among the Brown Cows will get the chance to call a loved one plus the result of Ethel's pregnancy.

Unexpected Turns

November 08, 2007 11:21 PM

Rooted on day 24 are several missions that marked an emotional journey for several of the celebrity housemates. First off was Gaby who was tasked to do a final sacrifice before she finally leave the big yellow house for good. Water is scarce in their abode and a luxurious supply of which will only be provided after she succeeds in filling a large drum with water from the pool! Determined to do this one last thing for the group, she tried various strategies just to accomplish Big Brother’s challenge.

Meanwhile, the master of the house confided to Mariel, Riza, Donni, Will and Ruben regarding the impending departure of the Racing Godess from his abode. He pointed that she wanted out to pursue a great opportunity abroad to improve her racing skills. Upon hearing this however, Mariel started to cry, explaining that she really wanted Gaby to stay. But since that is not possible, she simply agreed to Kuya’s plan to give her a special farewell party if they finish a 24-hour task playing as checkered skaters (see related article for more details).

In their roller blades, they roamed around the living room showing off their clever attire. Of course, Gaby couldn’t help noticing that she is somehow involved in the whole thing. But one of the conditions of Kuya was to refrain from telling her about the surprise. Much later, Kuya noticed how his skaters have mastered the craft. Thus, he asked them to perform a special number which they presented in front of the others.

Ethel on the other hand went to the confession room to talk about how she’s feeling the symptoms of pregnancy lately. Her request for a pregnancy test kit was duly provided and she was hoping so much that the result would be positive. Aside from this issue, she was also given a chance to redeem the whole letter of Vice Ganda by creating a beautiful floral arrangement, which was obviously meant for a deceased person.

As soon as she was finished with it, Big Brother finally allowed her to read her bestfriend’s correspondence to her. After a tearful moment, she soon learned about the connection of her special task to the death of Jon Avila’s close aunt. By doing the flowers, she paved the way for the English Outcast to personally pay his last respects to his Tita Tancing in Ildefonso, Bulacan early this morning.

Brown Cows Win The Catapult War

November 08, 2007 7:15 PM

The two teams used a mechanical catapult to throw the water balloons at each other. The Brown Cows (Will, Baron, Ruben, Gaby, Megan and Ethel) stepped up to the plate first, but for three minutes, they realized that hitting the other team is a lot of hard work. The Yellow Birds (Jon, Donnie, Mcoy, Victor, Mariel and Yayo), on the other hand, succeeded in eluding the water balloons even though they had to move as one person for they were all bound together. In the last 30 minutes, though, Kuya allowed the Brown Cows to throw the water balloons, including the cake icing, with their bare hands. This sent the Yellow Birds into confusion and panic.

The Yellow Birds took their turn in the second round,getting the chance to freely throw the balloons and icing with their hands. Riza served as the scorer to see how many successful hits each team will make. The Yellow Birds scored 11 hits, compared to the Brown Cows's 9 points. But in the deciding third round which was a free-hit round, the Brown Cows took home the game.

But just when the Brown Cows thought that they were already in for a treat, Big Brother ushered in another round. All of the players were made to write in the water balloons anything that they want, like iPod, cake, wine, pizza, a haircut, and of course, cigarettes. The Yellow Birds had to throw the balloons using the catapult and the Brown Cows must catch all the balloons without bursting them. All the balloons caught safely will represent the gifts that all our celebrity housemates will be receiving.

But the big mystery now is, what prizes did our housemates successfully win in this round? Catch Uber tomorrow for more news on Kuya's fun treat. Also don't fail to watch Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 tonight to find out how some of our housemates handled the news about Gaby's voluntary exit and why Ethel requested for a pregnancy test kit from Kuya.

Checkered Skaters

November 08, 2007 2:56 AM


On Saturday, we will be witnessing two main events inside the most prestigious house in the land. One is the Celebrity Concert For A Cause and the other is Gaby dela Merced’s voluntary exit in exchange for the elusive chance to pursue her passion as a professional sports car racing enthusiast. As mentioned last Sunday on PBB Primetime, she is scheduled to fly to Arizona, USA for the upcoming Driver Development Program for International Racing – a seminar which she dare not miss for the world.

Her decision to quit last Monday remained a secret towards her housemates. But tonight, it seemed that Big Brother decided to connive with Mariel, Donni, Ruben, Riza and Will. Whether they were asked to make a sacrifice or a pleasant surprise for the Racing Godess remains to be seen. But for now, what’s made privy to all of us is the special task which they started to accomplish right after they played tug-o-war.

With a touch of irony, they were told to take a bath first before proceeding to the storage room where their costumes lay in waiting for them. There the five selected celebrities covered their bodies with paint, following a unified checkered flag design, which we mostly see in circuits. To complete their outfit, they wore a strapped-tire on their waists. Then they came out of hiding by skating around the house with their brand new roller blades!

Naturally, Gab immediately realized that the task is related to her. She asked if it was a punishment but Mariel said no. Other than that, the five of them were tight-lipped regarding their ‘secret mission’ which is extended till later. In fact, they were instructed to sleep on the living room for tonight with their costumes on! Can you guess the purpose of this mysterious assignment? Be sure to catch the whole story on Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 at Primetime Bida!
