PBB UPDATES: Back 2 Back !

Preparing thyselves

The housemates are experiencing a particularly uneventful day (relatively) in the PBB house. But with everyone well into the Holy Week, even those in the House should have ample time for reflection and recollection.

Lunch for the housemates, however, was quite a hilarious episode. Their winning the last weekly task equated to better food for the housemates, and for today Nel had prepared a hearty ihaw-ihaw for everyone. While he was busy grilling the fish and vegetables, however, the PBB theme song suddenly played, and everyone dropped what they were doing and danced.

However, an unlikely culprit seemed to have a hidden agenda: Nel returned to his cooking area to find a large bite mark on the fish, which was now on the ground; while Buddy was busy licking his chops! After a few laughs from the housemates (and constant scolding by the frustrated cook), they soon enjoyed what’s left of their feast.

After eating, the housemates were dancing (once again) when they noticed the monitor playing a classic movie. Big Brother was kind enough to repeat the film so they could start it, and hinted that they bring some snacks as well. The housemates hurried to grab some food, and at the same time gathered up the materials for their weekly task as well. So at this time, twelve housemates in bunny costumes are busy eating and injecting custard into eggs, while The Ten Commandments is provided for their viewing pleasure.

This activity seems to be the start of an enjoyable but solemn holy week. What other activities await the housemates this Holy Week? Tune in courtesy of the PBB livestreams, and tune in this Easter for the nominations!







Kokak!


The housemates were fresh from the challenging but enjoyable Sudoku task for the day in which the Mickey and GeeAnn emerged as winners. Everybody was looking forward to a relaxing time after the physically and mentally demanding Sudoku. Big Brother treated the housemates to a cool dip in the swimming pool as part of the second task for the day. The catch, however, was that the pool was infested with live frogs.
The look on the faces of each housemate were priceless. Frogs seemed to be a common cause of disgust among them, especially the girls as just the mere sight of the frogs swimming in the waters sent them to a screaming mode. Despite the "ick" factor, the task must be done, so the housemates jumped right into the pool to make the catch.
Screams filled the house as the elusive slimy frogs were caught and collected in a pail. When all frogs were gathered in the pail, the housemates thought that the they have seen the end of the task. But much to their surprise, they would need to "see if there was a prince in every frog." Big Brother rhetorically asked them what to do to find out if a certain frog is actually a prince, to which Bodie kiddingly replied "inaalog po." Kuya found the joke too sarcastic, so he authoritatively told Bodie to shake the frog until it turns into a prince, and if not, he will suffer the consequence. Bodie quickly apologized to Big Brother.
Catching the live frogs from the pool was tough enough for the housemates, let alone kiss them. On Big Brother's signal, each Sudoku pair was called to the bridge, and the girls were tasked to kiss the frog they caught. Mickey and GeeAnn were called first, and the cheering chick gathered all her guts to do the task, which she did after some convincing from Mickey. To the rest of the girls, the kiss was too disgusting. They were given by Kuya the option to kiss the frog or ask the guys to do the kissing. Wendy was very reluctant to kiss the frog in Bruce's hand. Wendy kept screaming at the top of her lungs. Big Brother said "Wendy...mabibingi ang palaka sayo." Bea, on the contrary, was so in the game as she immediately kissed the frog that Kian was holding.
Nel and Maricris were called last, and after she kissed the frog, Big Brother told her "Maricris..binabati kita..nahalaikan mo ang prinsipe." Before Maricris could celebrate her luck, Kuya instructed Nel to kiss the frog. The other housemates joked "Kuya...itanong nyo muna ang frog kung gusto nya magpahalik kay Nel," which was followed by a big laugh from the group.
It was a day of fun and difficulty for the housemates. Mickey enjoyed a triple treat comprising an automatic exemption, a dance show and a visit from his friend, and a victory at the Sudoku task. Let's all keep it here to see what's in store for the other housemates for the weeks to come.
