The Teen Big Four!

Ejay hailed as PBB Teen Edition Plus Big Winner

noreply@blogger.com (pinoysmallbrother) — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 03:24:00 +0000

June 07, 2008 10:23 PM

The theme of this season, as it emerged in the housemates’ experiences, was transformation. To reinforce this, the transition of the PBB house to the Big Dome was animated as one would a transforming robot, very futuristic. There were also blurbs in praise of the housemates’ creatively presented in animation. Clad in shimmering white robes, the Teen Big Four, dressed in their finery, left the big yellow house and headed towards Araneta Coliseum where their fans awaited. They were escorted by Luis and left in a special room until the designated moment of their presentation.

Former housemates John Prats and Mickey Perz opened the celebration with an energized dance number, followed by Gerald Anderson, Kim Chiu and the resident extra-terrestrial Kokey. This was followed by the teen-choreographed performance of the song Ang Sarap ng Buhay sung by Project One. Of course, this was presented by the ex-teen housemates and the house players. Aside from Valerie and Priscilla who were decked with wings as angels, the rest of the teens sported the classic red and white.

Kim, the first Teen Big Winner, performed once again a dance number along with partner Gerald and the rest of the cast of My Girl. The newest Kapamilya and Dream host Billy Crawford also strutted his stuff as teaser for the start of classes in Pinoy Dream Academy. The Dream mentors, headed by Ryan Cayabyab, also made a cameo.

Kuya spent his last moments with the Teen Big Four as he reminded them of their goals when they first expressed their wish to enter his house. With them, he recalled how they initially were and, with more than a hint of nostalgia, walked through their ups and downs that eventually led them to a transformation and to the Big Night --- all in a span of almost three months. Kuya expressed his pride in each and reminded them, in true Big Bro fashion, to take along the lessons they learned in the house and to be a good example of and to the Pinoy youth.

Finally, the moment of reckoning has come. After months of smiles, tears, challenges, failures, successes, relationships, heartaches, decisions, growing up… here they were, aptly crowned Teen Big Four. To cheers that they couldn’t help smiling at, they prepared to face the crowd. With 10.91% or 186,523 votes, Beauty was first to step onstage as the PBB Teen 4th Big Placer. Nikki follows suit as PBB Teen 3rd Big Placer, garnering 18.39% or 314,582 votes. With bated breaths, the two boys were left, almost neck-to neck, based at the tally. Robi was awarded the PBB Teen 2nd Big Placer, with 34.39% or 588,115 votes. Finally, with 36.31% or 620,934 votes, Ejay emerged as the PBB Teen Big Winner! Pumped by adrenalin, perhaps, PBB Guardian Big Winner Daddy Erning was able to lift his son several inches off the floor as they celebrate his win. Ejay took home P1,000,000, a condo unit at Château Valenzuela, a business franchise from Crystal Clear drinking water and a Sony Bravia plasma TV.

For those who have faithfully kept track of the housemates this edition, and for those who have expressed active support through their votes, thank you. Don’t stray and be part of the Big Reunion tomorrow night, after Goin’ Bulilit. Stay tuned for the never-before-seen moments to be shown on Uber, same time slot, next week.

Teens get primped for the Big Night

noreply@blogger.com (pinoysmallbrother) — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 03:22:00 +0000

June 07, 2008 5:32 PM

An hour left before Araneta’s gates open to the Kuyanatics who are patiently – and excitedly – waiting for the right moment. Inside the PBB house, the teens are getting primped for the spotlight. Reminiscing Nikki’s hair and make-up session for the pictorials, she was now first in line for the preparations. By the time it was Ejay’s turn, the In Chick was already polishing herself and was giving tips on how to effectively remove the formal wear from the mannequins. Robi, on the other hand, was the last one in and was finding it quite difficult to settle in one position. As if savoring the last hour inside the house, he kept on walking around – to the kitchen, out the pool, sat to stare at the sala – but it was in front of the altar that he stopped and stayed to pray the rosary.

Walking down memory lane

June 07, 2008 12:19 AM

From the moment they were officially named the Teen Big Four, Robi, Nikki, Beauty and Ejay were faced with several challenges. Failing their first task dampened their spirits, yet also sent home the realization of why they were still in the house. Being named Teen Big Four was not the be-all and end-all of things; in fact, it was just the beginning. They were able to hold the sought-after title because there were people who believed in them, and to these people, they owed living up to the expectations of being youth representatives. To show this concretely, Kuya continued giving them rasks that would test not only their skills, but more importantly, their character.

They have truly gone through so much. In just more than a couple of months, they have grown and blossomed into the young adults that they truly are. To help the viewers make an informed decision, a short recap of their background and PBB history was presented. Toni also read a few letters from their supporters who have followed their journey to, finally, the Big Night.

In just a few hours, the teens will be preparing for the culmination of all their hard work. Aptly named The Big Reunion, they will be reunited with the ex-housemates and house players. They will also be joined by housemates from past seasons, especially Kim and Gerald from the first Teen Edition. To those lucky enough to get hold of tickets, remember to wear the color of your fave housemate: blue for Robi, yellow foe Nikki, green for Beauty and red for Ejay. No kids below 6 years old will be admitted and no video cameras will ve allowed in the venue. Araneta’s gates will open at 6 pm. See you there!

Preparing for the Big Night!

June 07, 2008 3:44 AM

Hours away from the Big Night and transitions are underway inside the big yellow house. After yesterday’s pictorial, the teens are beginning to get the hang of the celebrity status attached to the Teen Big Four title. Today, they had facials done, ensuring great skin for tomorrow’s spotlights. While the boys were giving their skin needs attended to, the girls were catching up on their beauty sleep. Goodbye, eye bags!

Celebrities as they may be outside, they still have responsibilities inside the house. No worries, as they didn’t seem to forget this. After the facials, it was straight to the kitchen for Ejay to wash dishes. The teens then shared a quiet dinner of cup noodles, and later, went on to continue their beaded accessories task.

Before long, it was time to head to dreamland. Dreams of being the Big Winner, perhaps? Robi, though physically prepared, was not about to forget his spiritual preparations and he whispered prayers before sleeping. Goodnight, housemates.

It is a big day indeed, as all are excited to welcome the Teen Big Four at the Araneta Coliseum. Who will emerge Teen Big Winner? It’s still your choice, Kapamilya, so keep texting to boost your fave housemate’s chances! Just text BB (name of housemate) and text BB (name of housemate) and send to 2331 (Globe, TM, Sun) and 231 (Smart and Talk N Text). UAE Kapamilyas can also participate and send their text votes to 4200 (Etisalat subscribers).

Beauty, asar-talo sa boys!

Jun 6, '08 4:17 AM

Talaga nga namang masarap kulitin ang Rebellious Girl kaya naman panay asar sa kaniya ni Robi at Ejay. Nagluto si Beauty ng pananghalian para sa kanila at binibiro siya tungkol dito. Kesyo na imbento niya ang pagkain at kesyo inakala nilang darak ito. Nagtampo tuloy si Beauty at sinabing hindi na siya magluluto para sa kanila kahit kailan. Pero matapos naman nito balik kulitan nanaman sila! Ayan naman pala joke lang kasi.

Surprise!

Jun 6, '08 4:11 AM

Sorry teens pero hindi masarap na pagkain ang surprise sa inyo kundi maraming maraming maraming C2 bottles! Nang inakala nila tapos na, naku meron pa pala. Kailangan nilang gumawa ulit ng isa pang C2 Tower. Go teens kaya niyo na iyan!

Ejay's dream

Jun 6, '08 4:06 AM

Binanggit ng True Blue Atenista na sana ay imbitahan siya ni Kuya sa PBB Teen Edition 3. Matapos nito ay si Ejay naman ang nagkuwento. Napanaginipan ng Promdie Hottie na kasama niya ang mga magulang niya sa dagat at nangingisda silang tatlo. Pakiramdam tuloy niya na sa probinsya siya maninirahan. Kayo gusto niyo bang bumalik na ang Promdie Hottie sa Mindoro o gusto niyo pa siyang makitang madalas sa telebisyon?

Flying water balloons!

Jun 6, '08 1:51 AM

Malapit na matapos ang teens ngunit heto't sinubukan nanaman sila! Bigla ba naman silang inulanan ng pagkarami-raming water balloons at ang target: ang C2 Tower nila! Sigawan tuloy ang teens ng "Kuya ano ba?" sabay tapon ng mga balloons pabalik sa guardians area. Walang katapusan ever ata ang mga pagsubok sa inyo Big Four, kaya niyo pa ba?

Go Teens!

Jun 6, '08 1:33 AM

In fairness, matapos ang isang buong araw nakaisip na nga ng malupit na strategy ang teens. Inilagay nila sa mga trays ang mga C2 bottles at tinalian ito ng string para sure na hindi ito matumba. Aba naman magandang strategy yan teens! Kulang na lang ang tore ng tower para mabuo na ito. Go go go!!

More work for the Big Four

noreply@blogger.com (pinoysmallbrother) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 03:39:00 +0000

June 06, 2008 11:10 PM

Ex-teen housemate Alex and Uber host Mariel tried to interfere with the building of the C2 Tower on Uber today. When throwing the balloons across didn’t seem to shake the teens’ spirits, the mischievous ex-housemates, who wore black robes and masks, went inside to directly aim for the tower. Although the teens tried to protect their tower, the bottle building collapsed and the teens shrieked upon seeing their hard work destroyed. Though quite annoyed with what Alex did, they still missed him and gave him a bear hug. Alex, on the other hand, zeroed in on Beauty and gave her a sweet kiss before leaving.

Mariel then sat the Big Four down and got up close and personal with them. She asked the Big Four on who their Big Winner is. Nikki, Ejay and Robi unanimously answered Beauty for they believe she is the most changed housemate. Beauty, on the other hand, chose Nicole because of her friend’s attitude improvement.

On the matters of the heart, Beauty was unsure if she loves the Italian Valentino. Ejay, however was more firm with his decision to pursue Valerie once the edition is over. Nicole, like her best bud Beauty, was unsure of what will happen to her and Josef. She would want to fix things first with her current boyfriend before deciding on the next step. True Blue Atenean Robi admitted to never having a girlfriend but was courting someone before he entered the house.

When asked what their favorite and least favorite tasks were, the teens agreed that the Philippine Air Force training and the Island Adventure was the best and the hardest. Robi added that the beaded accessories task was pretty difficult too since the materials were too small.

Mariel gave each the chance to promote themselves as the Big Winners.

Robi believed that everything he learned, he lived it out. He also did what he deemed right aside from being true to himself. Beauty was confident that she turned from her rebellious ways and everyone saw her improvement.

Ejay felt that he was also true to himself and had learned a lot in Kuya’s house. Nicole knew that she has proved herself in the house and could do a lot more outside.

All in one night!

Challenges as the Teen Big Four

noreply@blogger.com (pinoysmallbrother) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 04:41:00 +0000

June 06, 2008 1:04 AM

Earlier yesterday, Kuya called the attention of Beauty, Alex and Nikki because they played around with the beads and threw some at each other. They had to pick up the beads and also pick up the pace as they only had 376 made at the time. A dart game followed, a happy memory as prelude to the bittersweet eviction night.

Maybe he had an inkling that he was the evictee, because Alex gave Beauty a souvenir as they were packing. He didn’t want to leave though, even whispered “I’m not ready to leave” at the last moment. Unfortunately, his name wasn’t part of the four. Robi, Nikki, Beauty and Alex were the chosen ones. As sad as they were to see Alex leave, they also couldn’t contain their excitement and pride as they were named the Teen Big Four. Kuya chanted the title several times until they were cheering and jumping up and down on their little colored circles.

For those who are going to the Big Night this Saturday, wear the color of the housemate you support! Wear blue for Robi, yellow for Nikki, green for Beauty and red for Ejay. Gates open at 6 pm, but take note that children 6 years and below will not be admitted. Videocameras are a no-no as well.

All felt a degree of pride well-earned. Robi likened the feeling to reaching the summit of a mountain, when one does all that he can and eventually reaches the goal. Nikki, amazed that people actually supported her, couldn’t quite describe the happiness she felt. Beauty was swaying between crying and screaming for joy, thanking God for giving her a chance, flawed as she was. Ejay was likewise thankful, and was a true believer that “hindi masama mangarap.”

Their pride was soon dampened as Kuya immediately gave them a new task. 77 candles were floating in the pool, and they had to make sure all were lighted within 5 minutes, For every 5 candles that went out, they would lose 1 of the 5 TV’s that they could give to 5 public schools. Even dressed in their best clothes, they went into the pool and did the challenge. Unfortunately, poor planning, coordination, and lack of presence of mind topped with a huge blower overhead caused them to lose all 5 TV sets.

Their failure was good, in a way, as they were humbled and reminded that they had a responsibility to the people outside, especially those who believed and voted for them. Kuya reminded them that they should think and act as one and prove that they were indeed deserving of the title. They then decided to give their all in each and every task.

This morning, the teens were made to put on loads of sunblock since they were going to be working under the scorching sun. Ejay put a bit too much, like icing on a cake. Their task was to keep a floater in the middle of the pool, and stack plastic water bottles into a tower. This time, the teens thought about their moves and seemed systematic in their plans. There was division of labor as Ejay tied the floater using the string from the accessories. Beauty measured water into each bottle to stabilize it. Nikki stacked the bottles and Robi was the all-around guy. They even thought about weighing the floater down by barbells. Yet… down crashed their first tower. Will they manage to salvage this and win their second task as Teen Big Four? Watch out on Uber and Primetime Bida tomorrow!

Guardian Debate on the Big Winner

noreply@blogger.com (pinoysmallbrother) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 04:39:00 +0000

June 05, 2008 7:36 PM

The guardians are back and they’re arguing again. This time though they debated in good spirits over who they think deserves to the Big Winner. Each guardian was given a minute to defend the teen of their choice.

Daddy John and Shy fought for Beauty while Mommy Jinky and Tita Violy were for Robi. Kevin’s dad said that Beauty was born a star. She had the most eccentric personality and she keeps the show alive. Shy added that the Rebellious Girl wasn’t “plastic”, contrary to others opinion of her, but was just being her utmost self in the house.

Mommy Jinky attacked the argument fervently since she didn’t want to have a “rebellious” teen as a role model for everyone. Robi for her showed exemplary behavior as he was friendly, respectful and a model student among others. Tita Violy agreed to this and pointed out that Robi’s “playing safe” didn’t hurt anyone else.

In the next round, Tita Anna and Mommy Minda defended Nicole while Daddy Ike and Mommy My Love pushed for Ejay. Tita Anna believed that Nicole came out of her shell and this gradual change should be taken into consideration. Aside from being a well-mannered young lady, she learned discipline in Kuya’s house. Mommy Minda noticed this change as well and saw how the In-Chick turned from being a sheltered girl to a social person who mingled with the rest.

Daddy Ike on the other hand was a solid Ejay supporter. While the others had the privilege of education and comfort, here was a tough young man who experienced the world at a very young age. Though the Promdie Hottie wasn’t well-off like the others, he could still level with them. Mommy My Love was more focused on Ejay’s character which is being calm, being able to receive harsh criticisms and he was good to everyone.

In the end, all were gathered to give their last statements. The guardians defended their pick through and through and didn’t let up until the buzzer sounded. Now everyone has said their peace and Robi, Nicole, Ejay and Beauty are seen as potential Big Winners, ask yourself this question: Who would you pick to be the example of the youth and thus deserve the Big Winner title? To further help you make your decision, catch the Teen Big Four and more character testing on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus!

A promise is a promise.

June 05, 2008 2:17 AM

After the announcement of the Teen Big Four, the remaining teens couldn’t stop talking and giggling. So high was their energy level that they didn’t even mind their meager dinner of cup noodles (yet again, since they bet 100% of their budget) and ate as if it were a feast. They them continued their exchange while lounging by the poolside. It had certainly been a trying summer and a particularly draining week. Relief and probably pride was translated into giggles and snickers. They occupied themselves with thoughts of interviews and guestings, wondering how it would be to be asked by celebrities. Would they dance? How would they answer? Will they be on Boy and Kris, or ASAP, or The Buzz? Robi was interested in seeing the AVP’s that came with each call to vote for nominated housemates. A little while more and Kuya called them in already.

They trooped back in the house, still hyped about the night’s circumstances. They all felt grateful and amazed to be part of the Big Four. Ejay seemed to like savoring the feel of the words “Teen Big Four”, repeating them even while cleaning the kitchen sink. Robi, fresh from the Confession Room, relayed his brief conversation with Big Bro. Kuya was teasing him that the season was extended yet again. Too hyper, Robi said that anything was fine with him. A plus with going out by Saturday, for him, was to be able to finally hear mass on Sunday.

The teens went back to finishing the beaded accessories in the boys’ room. After all, as they have all learned, a promise is a promise. What Kuya had in store for them in the pool, find out tomorrow on Uber and Primetime Bida!

The Teen Big Four, revealed!

noreply@blogger.com (pinoysmallbrother) — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 04:14:00 +0000

June 05, 2008 12:07 AM

For the third day in a row, the housemates had to face numerous trials. After the Grand Council trial and the lie detector test, they had to face a trail by fire – literally. Because they did not fulfill their promise to Kuya Primo, the teens were made to give up their material belongings. Katumbas ba ng pagtupad ng pangako ang material at personal na gamit? This was the question Kuya left them with.

An extremely disappointed Big Bro talked to the housemates to share his sentiments at their actions. Yet, another chance was given them to retrieve their clothes. They were given an hour to fish out their belongings which were scattered in and around the pool. Added to the time limit, they were only allowed to use the things inside the house and had to stay behind the blue line (which was several feet away from their things). After several minutes into the task, Alex, Ejay and Nikki accidentally stepped on the line and weren’t allowed to participate, leaving only Robi and Beauty to finish up. Despite their best efforts, they only managed to get a few items. They gathered the rest and stuffed them in garbage bags, which they placed beside two flaming drums. In the Confession Room, they were made to watch as garbage bags were dumped into them. Kuya made sure they understood the reason behind this, and also gave them a minute each to share their thoughts. Generally, the teens were sad and sorry for the loss of things which not only represented luxuries and needs, but the hard work and care that was put into it by their loved ones. Alex felt that it would have been better if the clothes were given to charity rather than burnt.

The teens then fixed themselves for what they thought was a live show. Once gathered in the living room, it was a more amiable Kuya who talked to them. He announced that no one was going out that night, and that no one was really nominated. On top of that, Kuya revealed that their clothes were safe, and that their previous task was just a test to see if they could make a stand and demonstrate compassion for others. I’m proud of you, housemates. With all the good news, the teens recovered from the heavy atmosphere and spent the night laughing, dancing and enjoying an entire pizza!

Yet, all knew someone had to be evicted. Tonight, four colored circles were used as tools to emphasize the remaining four teens. These much-coveted spots, however, already belonged to (in no particular order) Robi, Ejay, Nikki and Beauty. Alex, with only 5.07% of the votes, was the last evictee. There were less tears this time, and Alex seemed in shock still. He was escorted by Toni and he jumped (with feet- hugging, too!) into his dad’s waiting arms as Mommy Minda looked on. His father travelled all the way from Italy to be present on this night, which was just as well as Alex needed all the support that he could possibly get. Along with a video tribute, he was also presented with a Sony Vaio laptop.

Only a few days left before the Big Night! No more evictees, but the polls are still open to determine who among the remaining housemates will be hailed this season’s Big Winner. The one who had the largest number of votes accumulated from the 31st to June 7 will win the title. Be involved and actively support the teen you believe deserves the title! Vote online or text BB (name of housemate) and send it to 2331 (for Globe, Sun and TM subscribers) or 231 for (Smart and Talk N Text subscribers). Kuyanatics in UAE may also vote by texting BB (name of housemate) and sending it to 4200 (for Etisalat subscribers).

Dart and Consequence

noreply@blogger.com (pinoysmallbrother) — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 04:13:00 +0000

June 04, 2008 11:13 PM

The teens would have to pop balloons and do various consequences on Uber today. Darts were scattered at the bottom of the pool which they must use to pop the balloons which contained strips of paper indicating their consequence.

The consequences ranged from physical challenges to trivial questions. Alex dove under first and after three tries, he finally hit a balloon. The consequence for the Italian Valentino was to kiss the most important housemate for him. He shyly walked over to Beauty and gave her a huge smack on the cheek. Beauty and Nikki on the other hand had physical challenges as a consequence. The Rebellious Girl had to do a wheelbarrow walk while Nikki had to do 20 pushups.

Robi and Ejay both got questions which they must answer. Robi had to answer who was the friendliest housemate while Ejay had to choose who the smartest housemate was. Alex was regarded by Robi as Mr. Congeniality and Ejay awarded the Atenean the smartest housemate title.

Meanwhile, Kuya finally revealed to the teens that the automatic and face-to-face nominations plus the burning of clothes were all just tests of character. The housemates were all able to breathe a huge sigh of relief and danced the night away. Kuya also rewarded them with pizza for a job well-done on his tasks.

This may be the teens’ last party inside the house for they have to bid farewell to this edition’s final evictee. Catch the last eviction night later on PBB Teen Edition Plus Primetime.

A test of principles

noreply@blogger.com (pinoysmallbrother) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 06:21:00 +0000

June 04, 2008 3:21 AM

During the week of their island adventure, the teens who were left in the house were visited by Kuya Primo, a leader of one of the tribes of Palawan. Their weekly task was to make beaded accessories to be sold at the Teen-dahan, the proceeds of which will benefit the said tribe. Unfortunately, the teens failed at this task. To teach them the value of responsibility and of keeping one’s word, Kuya gave them more time to accomplish the pending task. Still, they were unable to finish it. Since they weren’t able to do it as a group, they then had to make 100 necklaces each within an hour, or a punishment was in store. Yet again, the teens were unable to finish the task.

Disappointed by their lack of effort to keep their promise and their initiative to finish the task (Kuya didn’t wake them up to test this), they were then ordered to gather all their clothing and put them in a pile in the garden area. Then, Robi was made to get the liter of gasoline from the storage room. Unknown to the teens, there was no gasoline in the container. Rather, it was a test of their principles.

Nikki was sent out into the garden and tasked to set the pile of clothes on fire. The In Chick looked at the clothes, opened the container, and went back to the Confession Room. She couldn’t bear to perform the task, and risked nomination for going against Kuya. The others felt and acted likewise.

It seemed like a bandwagon effect, so Kuya had Ejay, Beauty, and Robi go into the Confession Room individually. All were punished with automatic nomination since they disobeyed the previous orders. Kuya then struck a bargain with them: he would retract the nomination and give them a shot at being part of the Big Four if they would burn the pile of clothes. As much as they wanted to be part of the Big Four, all chose to stick by their principles and chose an automatic nomination rather than perform the task.

Ejay hoped to represent those who were losing hope at reaching their dreams. He also needed the money. It was truly a decision that brought him to tears, but he chose not to do it. He wanted to be a good example, he says, yet if he does that, how will he be regarded as a good example to others? Beauty wanted to do prove herself to her family and others, was willing to give up her own clothes, but would not burn the things of others. Finally, Robi was called in, where he chose to disobey Kuya’s orders. This time, he would rather go against Kuya’s wishes and go with what he thought was right. All three exited the room, obviously disturbed. Little do they know that this was test … which they all passed with flying colors.

After PBB
Jun 4, '08 1:07 AM

Pagkatapos ng PBB, balak ni Nicole na mag-aral sa Ateneo de Manila kung na-enroll siya. Pinayuhan rin niya si Alex na mag-aral ng English at Tagalog para sure na pasok siya sa mga schools dito. Si Robi naman balak mag-double major ng Management at Medicine. Kamusta naman ang utak ni Robi?

Kutob ni Beauty...
Jun 4, '08 1:01 AM

Mamaya na ang kahuli-hulihang eviction night kaya naman kabado lahat ng teens. Pero itong si Beauty, malakas ang kutob niya na siya na ang top 5. Nang sabihin naman ni Alex na mukhang siya ang aalis, sabi ni Beauty na top 2 si Mommy Minda kaya maraming supporters sila Alex. Sino-sino nga kaya ang makakasama sa Big Four?

Usapang grand council
Jun 4, '08 12:45 AM

Pinag-usapan ng teens ang grand council at pansin ni Robi na hindi siya tinanong ni Linda. Mukha ring kabado ang lahat lalo na ang translator. Noong una akala ni Ejay, PDA peeps ang grand council. Si Beauty naman akala ,fans. Dagdag ni Alex, na baka sobrang galit na fans. Ano nga kaya kung fans ang naging grand council? Type niyo ba ang gimik na ito?

PDA vs. PBB
Jun 3, '08 11:03 PM

Pinag-usapan ng teens ang pagkakaiba ng dalawang programa. Type nila ang PDA dahil wala itong wake-up call at weekly task! Bukod pa dito, pinag-usapan rin ang finalists ng PDA season 1 na sina Panky at JR. At guess what Kuyanatics? Kapwa Cebuano pala ni Nikki ang 2 PDA cast. Kamusta naman yun? Matapos ito, bumirit ng husto ang True Blue Atenean. Robi mukhang gusto mo rin mag-audition sa PDA ha?

Breakfast by the girls!
Jun 3, '08 10:57 PM

For a change, si Beauty at Nikki naman ang naghanda ng breakfast ngayon. Todo alalay si Beauty sa girl bud dahil hindi pa ito ganoong marunong magtantsa. Ang niluto nila: french toast, at scrambled eggs. Not bad Nikki! Eh yung boys kaya happy sa niluto ng girls?

Bonding ni Ejay at Robi
Jun 3, '08 3:42 AM

Seryosong nag-uusap ang dalawang boys tungkol sa pagpapakatotoo. Para kay Ejay, "kung pinapakita mo naman kung sino ka, bakit ka matatakot?". Agree naman si Robi dito at pinag-isipan ang wise words.

Bukod pa dito, chikahan ang dalawa sa mga kinakatukutan nila. At trivia lang mga Kuyanatics, claustrophobic pala ang True Blue Atenista! Kamusta naman iyan Robi

What to do outside...

Jun 3, '08 3:35 AM

Ang unang gagawin ni Nikki paglabas ay pupuntahan ang family, mga pinsan, at matapos ay sa Dumaguete. Balak pa nito na mag-aral ng kolehiyo dito sa Manila. Si Alex naman siguradong uunahin ang relatives pero 'di siya sigurado kung sa Manila siya mag-aaral. Hindi pa bihasa ang Italian Valentino sa Ingles at lalo naman sa Tagalog. Don't worry Alex, marami pang panahon para diyan!

Heart to heart talk ni Nikki at Alex

Jun 3, '08 3:28 AM

Kwentuhan si Nikki at Alex tungkol sa common friend na si Beauty. Ayon kay Nikki, nag-usap sila ng best girl bud kagabi at sinabi ni Beauty na mas gugustuhin niyang lumabas si Alex kaysa kay Nikki. No reaction dito ang Italian Valentino kaya naman todo paliwanag itong si Nikki. Para kay Beauty, mas pipiliin niya daw na maging kaibigan kaysa maging lover. Ayun naman, sana lang maintindihan ni Alex, kundi tampuhan galore nanaman kayo!

Beauty, may sakit nga ba?
Jun 3, '08 3:23 AM

Lumabas saglit ang Rebellious Girl at mukhang matamlay ito. Nang lumabas si Robi, sinabi niya dito na tingnan kung may sakit siya. Feeling ni Beauty na mainit siya at umiikot ang paningin niya. Hindi kaya naduduling ka lang Beauty sa paglagay ng beads?

The housemates get another scolding from Kuya

June 03, 2008 9:35 PM

Last night, the housemates went through next level of Kuya’s character tests. Everyone underwent a lie detector test and tried to answer Kuya’s questions as honestly as they could. Beauty admitted that she wanted Alex to be evicted which disappointed the Italian Valentino while watching her on the plasma screen. He even told Beauty that he didn’t really like her that much after her test. Ejay seemed to have breezed through the questions. But the results of the lie detector exam later revealed that one of the housemates was not very truthful. Who could this housemate be?

Next the teens were given the chance to sit in the Big Winner’s chair. With the label “Pinaka-nagpakatotoo”, the huge chair was placed in the middle of the living room. Kuya gave them a chance to explain why they deserved to win and that only two housemates will get the chance to sit on the “throne”. How did the housemates evaluate themselves and pick the truest of them all?

To further test the teens’ character, Kuya made it appear that Beauty, Ejay and Robi are this week’s nominees. To save themselves from possible eviction they were then tasked separately to burn all the housemates’ clothes. The three were then asked to prove how badly they wanted to win and they told Kuya that they’re willing to do anything to be hailed the Big Winner. However, they didn’t have the hearts to push through with the burning of the clothes.

Kuya then gave all the housemates another scolding for not obeying his commands. He then gave them another chance to redeem themselves by retrieving their clothes by the pool area on the condition that they will not step beyond the blue line by the gym equipment. They also must use only things found inside the house to reach for the scattered pieces of clothing. While using brooms, mops and rods inside the house, Alex committed a violation when he tried to help out Beauty. He stepped on the blue line and Kuya ordered the teens to throw half of the clothes they got back into the pool. How long will the teens endure Kuya’s tests?

Ex-teen housemate Nan, who was present at the studio, were shocked at what his fellow teens are going through. When asked if he would do what Kuya asked the other housemates, he vehemently shook his head. On his being happy-go-lucky, Nan explained that he has a serious side although often times it gets overcome by his cheerful disposition in life. When it came to the topic of love, the Junior Kengkoy admitted that he has a crush on Nicole.

Good Morning Teens!
Jun 2, '08 11:49 PM

Mukhang puyat ang teens today at bumangon na sila tanghali na! Mula nang magsimula ang season, ngayon lang walang wake-up call. Dali-daling naghilamos ang boys ngunit ang girls, himbing pa rin sa pagtulog. Ano kaya ang mga kaganapan kagabi at puyat na puyat ang teens?

When will it end?
Jun 1, '08 3:20 AM

Patuloy pa rin ang teens sa paggawa ng beaded accessories. Simula kaninang umaga, 13 na ang nagagawa ni Beauty. Si Nicole naman 15. Mukhang marami-rami pa ang kinakailangan nilang gawin. Ilan kayang necklace at bracelets ang kailangan nilang magawa para mapanalo ang task na ito?

When i was 14...
Jun 1, '08 1:06 AM

Noong 14 si Alex, may nakilala siya at ang Kuya niyang si David na isang girl. Type nila parehas ito at sabay nila siyang dinate. May panahon pa noong tinext ni Alex ang chick, ang bro pa niya ang nakabasa nito dahil magkasama sila ng girl. Mukha namang gusto rin siya ng girl dahil inamin nito na mas gusto niyang kasama si Alex kaysa boyfriend niya. Grabehan naman ito? Hindi naman masyadong messy ang pinasukan mo Alex? 3 boys na hinahabol ang isang girl? Why not!

Style ni Alex
Jun 1, '08 12:58 AM

Nang pinuntahan ng 3 housemates si Alex at Nicole, update agad si Alex kung ano ang pinag-usapan nila. Sabi ng Italian Valentino na kinukuwento niya kay Nicole ang storya ng buhay niya.

Noong 14 years old siya, may nakilala siyang babae. Dagdag pa niya, kapag gusto niya ang girl, nakikipag-joke siya dito, at nagkakatuwaan na sila. Hindi ba't ganito ang ginagawa mo kay Beauty? Ibig sabihin kaya like niya talaga ang Rebellious Chick? o baka naman love na yan ah? Alex aminin!

Kwentuhang Pinoy Dream Academy
Jun 1, '08 12:44 AM

Habang nag-uusap sa labas ang nagkatampuhang Nicole at Alex, chikahan to the max naman sina Beauty, Ejay at Robi! Mukhang enjoy na ni Beauty ang pagluto kaya naman nagvolunteer itong gumawa ng pananghalian.

Type ata ni Robi ang kantang, "Mukha kang Sofa" kaya naman pagkalabas niya, hahanapin niya kung sinong kumanta nito. Si Beauty naman ay nagtanong ng boys kung sino ang kumanta ng "Minsan". Sagot naman ni Ejay na si Ronnie Liang. Kamusta naman Ejay, updated ka pala sa PDA!

Flo-Rida parties with the teens

noreply@blogger.com (pinoysmallbrother) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 05:36:00 +0000

June 02, 2008 6:51 PM

International rap star Flo-Rida pays the teens a visit this afternoon on Uber! The housemates were all ready to have a dance party with rapper and were grooving to his chart topping single “Low”. The private party soon turned into a dance class for the teens in turn taught Flo-Rida how to move to the tune of Kabataang Pinoy. The fun however had to be cut short for Flo-Rida had to leave and the teens presented him with gifts before he bade them farewell.

The teens were actually relieved with Flo-Rida’s visit after a stressful night with the grand council. The grand council, which is made up of the guardians and ex-housemates, was formed by Big Brother to help viewers determine who really deserves to be this edition’s Big Winner. The remaining five housemates faced the music and tried to answer honestly the tough questions the group threw at them. Alex had to answer questions about having a girlfriend outside the house and his relationship with Beauty while Nicole had to say her piece on her closeness with Josef. Beauty was almost in tears when she heard what Rona and her mom had to say about her reasons for nominating her fellow housemate from Dumaguete.

Yesterday morning, the teens had to undergo a practical and theoretical driving test held by A1 Driving, who also provided a refresher course and would later grade them. Though they were coached several times by celebrity ex-housemate and pro race car driver Gaby dela Merced and had their pop car practices, the actual test was still difficult. Aside from being timed and their bet of 100% weekly budget, the eviction that night also added to the stress.

The teens were split into two groups. One group stayed behind to finish the theoretical part of the exam by labeling 30 road signs in 5 minutes. This may seem like an easy task, but with the time constraint, mental block set in for several teens. The other half were taken out to take their practical exam where they had to drive through a course, do reverse driving and perform parallel parking. Robi and Alex passed both tests, while Nikki, Beauty and Ejay did not. Ejay took this badly, since he really wanted to learn how to drive. It took him an hour to go through the hands-on driving, and even so, was just made to go down the car. Kuya tried to lessen his sadness by explaining that now may not be the time for him to learn this, but it didn’t really make things easier. To Nikki and Beauty, he explained that it was harder for him because in his hometown, the vehicle available to him was a boat. To win the weekly task, all of them had to pass both tests, and the results meant zero budget on their last week.

This was the least of their troubles, though. That evening, Nan got evicted, leaving five housemates behind. Though all had dreams of being winners, goodbyes were never easy. Nan was all smiles throughout the eviction. Such was not the case with the rest. Robi, who was saved instead, felt the loss of a fine “kapatid”. Ejay, Nan’s closest buddy, was also affected. For a moment, all were quiet in Nan’s honor.

Earlier, Robi was cornered by Kuya. Given that only he and Nan were the week’s nominees, Robi was asked who he would rather be left in the house? Nan was his choice, because he was a good guy and a great brother. Yet, when asked if he wanted to win, he said yes. Kuya felt that he was playing safe and that he wasn’t giving straight and true answers. Robi explained that he had mixed emotions about everything. Anything goes for him; it was a win-win situation. He didn’t view PBB as a contest, but as a chance to let people know who he is and to be a good example. Still, he felt that he also had a responsibility to his family and his school. Kuya bluntly told him that, in 11 weeks, he has seen the Atenean, but not the Robi Domingo as an individual. He needed to make a stand and be sincere, and do this concretely. Beauty was likewise interrogated, and despite the risk of being regarded as proud, admitted that it would be great if she could be part of the Big Four.

Emotions were not given a rest. The last nomination was held in the confession room, where the remaining teens had to pick the picture of the housemate whom they thought was least fit to be part of the Big Four. They drew lots and were given 30 seconds each to decide. All were already edgy, and this just pushed them more. In the end, Alex got 3 votes (mostly due to his lack of emotional control) and Nikki got 2 (for her minimal participation in household chores). Later, the two had issues between them, as Nikki got affected by the reasons of her nomination (by Alex, in particular) and Alex was nominated for the first time. All were in tears, feeling guilt and frustration and sadness and stress all rolled together. The nominations weren’t valid, though. It was another test of character. Indeed, the teens will emerge all grown-up after such experiences.

The teens have another week to face. They had to finish the promised accessories to help Kuya Primo’s tribe by Monday. Flo Rida is dropping in, too, and hopefully that would be a happy break.It’s open nominations. Keep those votes coming in! Remember that it’s YOUR vote that decided who gets in the Big Four and who becomes the PBB Teens Plus Big Winner.

Nicole and Alex settle their misunderstanding

June 01, 2008 2:59 PM

Since last night, Nicole and Alex weren’t in speaking terms. The In-Chick from Cebu seemed to be confused with her friendship with Alex. One moment they were in good terms and the next, the Italian Valentino would nominate her.

This morning, Nicole decided to thresh out her issues with Alex who agreed to open up to her. The soccer player admitted that he didn’t like Nikki then. But since they had the practical driving weekly task, he realized that enjoyed her company much especially in the car. He even revealed to Nicole that he lost sleep over this.

Nicole on the other hand thought that Alex was pretentious before. As the two discussed the root of their misunderstanding and finalized their solution to this, they ended with warm tears and hugs. The other three housemates, Beauty, Ejay and Robi, joined the other two and fell into a group hug.

All then went back to the house to finish on their bead task. What are the conditions to this new task? Did the teens even succeed in their practical driving and written exam? To know the answers to these, check out Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus!

Once again it’s open voting time! You will decide who makes it to the Big Four. Text BB (name of housemate) and send to 2331 (Globe, TM, Sun) and 231 (Smart and Talk N Text). UAE Kapamilyas can also participate and send their text votes to 4200 (Etisalat subscribers).

When Toni called out Robi’s name as the saved housemate, Nan jumped up from the sofa and knew that the time for him to say good-bye has come. He gave all the housemates a tight hug each and headed for the door. The Junior Kengkoy smiled all through out the ordeal, telling the others that everything is just alright. Luis then escorted Nan to the stage where he gave a huge leap towards his mom and sister. Nan got a total of 22.96% of the votes while Robi got 77.04%.

No Spill Driving

noreply@blogger.com (pinoysmallbrother) — Fri, 30 May 2008 08:25:00 +0000

May 30, 2008 1:48 PM

In preparation for their weekly task performance, the teens went through a challenging task, “No Spill Driving”. Each housemate had to drive and park the go-kart from the confession room to the prayer area. A twist to this game was a glass of water placed atop the hood of the go-karts. The teens would have to keep water from spilling as they drive by humps.

Beauty jumped in the car first and was left hanging in the humps. As she tried to maneuver the go-kart over the obstacle, water spilled on the floor. This case could be said of Alex and Nan who experienced the same trouble. When Robi had his turn, he strategized and drove barefoot. Fortunately for the True Blue Atenista, he went over the humps and parked the go-kart without difficulty. Ejay, who started off weak this Monday, was able to drive the go-kart easily without any problem.

Kuya noticed that the water was still almost filled to its brim. He then decided that the winner would be the fastest driver. He called Ejay’s name to the Promdie Hottie’s surprise, and announced him as winner, driving only in 55 seconds.

With this pretty tough challenge, the teens are confident to conquer their well-prepared weekly task. Will these practices be enough for them to win or would they lose the 100% bet and resort to a measly budget? To see the teens’ practical driving exam, catch Uber later with Mariel!

Two more on the line

May 29, 2008 11:18 PM

Yesterday, Nikki was ready to be evicted yet was first to be saved from it, at least for now. Robi was next, thankful at being given another chance. This left Valerie to take her turn in exiting the yellow house, which she exited with grace and charm. Ejay cried his heart out to Kuya, in a daze and trying to convince himself that it was all just a bad dream.

Nikki was certainly making the most of the chance awarded her, and eagerly took on the task of being the lone traffic enforcer. Even while eating, she quickly caught the slightest violation and blew her whistle several times, dispensing tickets and traffic reminders. Meanwhile, Beauty and Alex gave been sharing a lot of sweet moments in the house. The lone couple left, it seems their relationship has been given an extra boost. From hugs and sweet nothings, they gave already gone as far as exchanging "I love you’s". Hmm… where is this heading? Is this brought about by proximity and the near end of it, or will this go beyond the Big Night? This closeness, however sweet, could be questioned when their nominees were revealed.

Nomination was done face-to-face again, this time by the three who were excluded from doing it last time: Alex, Ejay and Beauty. Ejay nominated Alex and Robi. He felt that, of the guy housemates, he couldn’t bond with the first. The latter got 2 points because of his seriousness and because of the fact that, even if he got booted out, he still had the means to fulfill his dreams. Beauty was all apologies to Alex and Nan, her 1 and 2, respectively. Alex was too emotional, she thought, and she had a difficult time understanding him. Nan, still happy-go-lucky, seemed unable to handle a more serious situation. Alex, too, gave Beauty two points, because she had continuously offended him by teasing him that he was gay, and because she wasn’t in need of the prize. For her hot-headedness, Nikki got his 1 point. At the end, Robi and Nan, receiving 5 and 4 points respectively, were nominated for this Saturday’s eviction.
