A memory test on Uber

December 05, 2007 6:53 PM

At first, it was quite a challenge for Yayo, Riza, and Gaby to guess which card matches with what. The other housemates, meanwhile, were all amazed as they saw the pictures of their loved ones. Yayo was even surprised when she chanced on the pictures of her father, husband, and daughter. It was Riza, however, who got the first point when she matched the picture of a young Ethel playing the piano. Meanwhile, Gaby tried her best to go around the pictures with Donnie by her side all the time. Why was Racing Goddess sharing a lapel microphone with the Taekwondo Champion? That one you have to see in tomorrow's Uber. Also, find out if the boys will be able to catch up with the girls in this tough memory game.

This afternoon, we also saw the dramatic farewell of Peggy from the famous yellow house. Big Brother had apparently decided to move the beloved housepig to a better place, a decision which deeply affected all the housemates especially Gaby and Yayo. You can catch this moment in full and the hilarious anime character dress up of the housemates in tonight's Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 right after Lastikman.

Housemates teach the piglets some stunts

December 05, 2007 1:52 PM

Prior to the activity, everyone came out of the confession with a big piggy bank. As per Big Brother's instruction, each of the housemates must get a coin from the ceramic piggy bank. Each coin contains a specific stunt which they must teach their piglet to do. Gladys first tried getting a coin from the small hole in the piggy bank with the use of a kitchen knife. The rest helped out in holding the piggy bank upside down, trying to be careful not to break it. But after several minutes with no luck, Kuya advised Gladys that they can carve a bigger hole, but they just have to make sure that the piggy bank won't break.

Gladys was the first one to get a coin, and she picked the one that read "sit." Yayo also got the same coin while Ruben picked "shake paw". Gaby was surprised when she learned she had to teach Porkchop how to "stand on hind legs." Riza also picked the same trick, while Jon and Baron both have to teach their respective piglets how to "lie down."

After drawing their assignments, the housemates all headed straight to the pen to get their wards. Gladys took charge of Babe and aside from the piglet's stubborn ways, the Patawa Queen found it hard to get a filthy and stinky piglet learn new tricks. Meanwhile, Gaby's very serious in training Porkchop, but while doing so, the Racing Goddess tripped into the pool and soaked her lapel mic. Poor Gaby! Would Kuya punish her like he did Will?

How will the HMs fare in their 'tricky' task? Keep it here for updates on the piglets's progress. Don't forget to watch Uber this afternoon at 5:30 for another fun and exciting game between the Wasabi Team and the Lee Family!

Overcoming FIghts...

December 05, 2007 12:07 AM

For the past three days, the celebrity housemates learned the value of respect towards one another amidst the pressures inside the famous yellow house. First up was the wheelchair basketball match where they won against the Philippine National Team of The Disabled last Sunday. The latter removed all doubt in our minds that they gave way for the sake of the opponents’ budget this week. Another issue was raised though pertaining to the fact that Gaby was able to join the line-up during the last 2 minutes of the rematch. Her gender has always been a problem in the world of competitive sports and she hoped that equality would prevail next time.

Meanwhile, yesterday’s HOH game caused a clash between Baron and Jon. To win the crown, they simply have to survive the seven mini-tasks that were bestowed upon them while they road a boat in the pool. The misunderstanding occurred during the fifth round. The English Outcast thought that Baron clued his brother in regarding the least disgusting drink for him to choose. It annoyed Jon who was determined to become an HOH before he becomes evicted at the end of the week. But as soon as he realized his mistake, she quickly apologized to the Wild Child who was totally pissed with his reactions.

As it happens, Donnie and Jon were the last men standing. But even though Jon had the advantage during the seventh mini-task, Big Brother left the final decision in the hands of the housemates. They have to choose between the two who’s the most deserving housemate for the HOH position. The votes were secretly made in the confession room and the highest tallybelonged to Jon since he hasn’t experienced it yet. When Big Brother announced the result, Jon showed how sorry he was to Baron by asking him to be his partner during his privileged week! The Wild Child was ecstatic about it, insisting that it was a selfless move on Jon’s part because they were able to fix their rift already before the good news was made.

It was certainly a relief that both men were able to patch things up before the situation gre more complicated. Good thing Jon was humble enough to admit his blunder and calm enough in handling the whole ordeal. But a third fight took place not long after this. But this time, it was between Gladys and Will! Why did the Reyna ng Patawa feel disrespected? Did the True Lover make a bad call? Or was it another misunderstanding? Don’t miss PBB Uber for a sneak peek and Pinoy Pig Brother Primetime to unravel the truth on this one!

Wasabi Team Scores Another Point!

December 04, 2007 8:54 PM

There's no time for power naps tonight as Big Brother kept the housemates busy with another game right after their kickboxing competition. This time however, brawns are not the key to success but a keen strategy in playing a local form of recreation known as 'sungka'. But first, they were given enough time to learn its ropes using the traditional equipment needed. Gaby and Ruben practiced inside the boys' bedroom during a lock down, and then on Big Brother's signal they went out in the garden for the official match.

What they found perked things up because the set-up included a giant sungka board with 98 crablets instead of shells! Just like the rules of the game, two players will take turns in distributing the crablets into the two sets of seven holes. Ultimately, the goal is to capture more crablets than one's opponent. Big Brother also reminded not to take too long in sowing the crablets to plan where the last of it would land since this is equal to cheating.

As a continuation of their 'Karakter task', the Komedyanteng Promdi represented the Lee Family while the Racing Godess fought for the Wasabi Team. Just when everybody thought Ruben would get the upper hand because he defeated Gaby several times before, the latter managed to hoard a total of 60 crablets while the former only acquired 38 of which. Upon hearing the scores, Big Brother was quite surprised since the total number of crablets should have been 98 and not 99. All the same, the huge gap of the scores still landed the anime treasure on Gaby’s hands, leaving her team with a two-point advantage!

Will the Lee Family redeem themselves next time? They better do so or else they’d be risking a hefty reward! Brace yourselves for more of the opposing groups thrilling battles on PBB Uber and on Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 primetime episodes for juicier stories about the celebrity housemates’ intriguing lives inside the big yellow house.

Jon wins a power egg...

December 04, 2007 7:07 PM

Donnie owned the first two rounds, but in the third round, he lost grip on the pole and fell in the pool. From then on Jon took over the game and he eventually took home the eggs. In the next few days, Kuya will hold more games where the two teams can win more power eggs. The more eggs a team gets their hands on, the closer they are to winning the task. Big Brother added another 'rule' to acquiring power eggs and that is by stealing the rival teams' stash! Keep watching Uber every afternoon for more fun games with our anime housemates.

Be sure to catch Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 tonight right after Lastikman to see how yesterday's HOH game ignited a fight between Jon and Baron. Also, discover the reason why Gladys got pissed at Will and lead her to asking Kuya if she can just leave the house.
