The PBB Weekly Awards[June 17-22, 2012]

Tibay Award: Jai

Aminin, mas mahirap yung challenge niya kaysa kay Joj and in fairness, kinaya niya at naligtas niya ang kakambal from elimination.

Subtitle Award: Joj and Jai

Twins Joj and Jai: Which is which?

Sino nga bang nakaintindi ‘dun sa conversation nila sa bedroom bago pumasok sa confession room for the final verdict regarding their housemate status? Wala! Kaya nga wala ding subtitle kasi I’m sure ‘di din naintindihan ng prod team ng PBB yung pinagsasabi nila! Although gusto ko pa rin silang pumasok sa Big 4.

Demanding Award: Roy

‘Wag kang papatay-patay sa pagbubukas ng pinto lalo na’t may lalaking natatae sa labas ng bahay na gusto ng pumasok sa banyo.

Triplet Pagtatapon Ng Damit Special Award: Karen

Joj, Jai… and Karen? Triplet ba yung pumasok sa bahay? Affected much ha? At may patapon-tapon ng damit effect pa? “Dalawa? Ba’t dalawa? Akala ko isang lang? Akala ko isa lang! *insert growl*

I Bet You Didn’t Know Award: Ryan

O ha? Sino naming magaakala na kaya naman palang magseryoso ni Ryan? Sabi nga ni Myrtle, makikita mo talaga sa mga mata niya kung gaano siya ka-passionate and ka-dedicated sa football. I hope pwede niya pang matupad yung football dreams niya despite the accident na nagyari sa kanya.O kids, wag pasaway at wag mga reckless drivers, okay?

Affected Much Award: Myrtle

Myrtle: You can't please everybody, girl.

Let be Myrtle a lesson na you can’t please everybody and you can’t push yourself to be liked by everybody. It just doesn’t happen, okay? ‘Wag ng umemote. Chin up! Smile!

Sino Kayo Awards: Alec and Yves

Nasa loob pala kayo ng bahay? Sorry, ‘di ko na feel mga presensya niyo eh. Sabagay, hindi niyo na kayang sapawan yung eksena ni Karen sa bedroom. Hindi yung kambal yung star for this week eh, si Karen talaga. “Dalawa? Ba’t dalawa? Akala ko isang lang? Akala ko isa lang! *insert growl* (Sorry, ‘di lang maka-get over.)

Life lessons I learned from PBB this week (Twitter-style)

Finally, everything was panned out. Photo credit: PBB Official Website

#Awkward

Let’s face it, life is full of awkward (dreadful, even) moments. It’s up to us how we deal with them. It’s not easy, but these challenges make us better individuals. That is if we come out alive from them. But hey! God doesn’t give us something we won’t be able to handle. Heads up. There’s always an end to a tunnel. Unless it’s closed for renovations then you have a big problem.

#Assumera

It’s never a good thing to assume, especially when it comes to relationships. If you’re left to assume the specifics of your relationship then you’re in trouble. Everything should be laid down through proper communication. Many relationships have gone down in flames because both parties didn’t bother to bridge the communication gap. Always be clear on what you want out of a relationship.

#NoSecrets

Haven’t you learned anything from Philippines telenovelas and movies, and in real life? There is no such thing as a secret. Well, you can probably keep it for some time, but never for eternity. In truth, a secret is supposed to be broadcasted, not hidden. The best way to avoid dirty secrets? Be honest. Be upfront. However cliché this may sound, honesty is still the best policy.

#Okay

With this show I attach okay with lying. Whenever somebody says “I’m okay” he or she is definitely lying. Please, stop saying that you’re okay when we both know that you’re not. I won’t think less of you if you’re not okay. What will make me think less of you is if you lie straight to my face. And that’s also not healthy. You’re putting too much stress on your mind, body, and soul. You’re not a superhero, okay?

#LikeAMan

It takes nothing to make a mistake, but it takes a man to face the consequences of those mistakes. Everyone has their inevitable right to be stupid every once in a while. Nobody is perfect, they say. The important thing is to learn from these shortcomings. And by learn I mean you carry those lessons until your dying day. There’s no point in saying sorry; in asking for forgiveness if you won’t learn from them.

#DoWhatYouThinkIsRight

The right thing is a subjective thing. Everybody has their own concept of what is acceptable and detestable. No manual can tell you the exact right thing you should do. You have to trust your own set of principles and your instinct. There will be people who will critic you for your decisions, but never heed them. If after your decision you can still sleep soundly at night then you did the right thing.

PBB Teen Edition 4 6th Eviction Night: No Surprise

When they showed the footage of Mariz’s birthday celebration and her task to get Big Utol’s birthday present for her, it was some sort of premonition that, yeah, my predictions are going to happen. I was actually happy she got the scholarship. That plus the experiences she had inside the PBB house were, I think, very great parting gifts for her eventual eviction.

Mariz Raneses: Latest evictee from the Big Brother House.

Their American Idol-ish announcement of nominees was, well, anticlimactic. Duh? We already knew the list of nominees for this week. No surprise factor there. I don’t want to sound mean, but I found a crying Roy very cute. Can I go inside the house and hug him? For like forever? And what’s with that camera-whore gay teen lurking behind Bianca and Robbie? Attention seeker much? He even had the gall to continuously plaster his face in front of my telly despite the fact he is, as Kimmy Go Dong Hae puts it, butt-ugly! Bianca and Robbie were gorgeous as usual, but that gay guy was so distractingly atrocious. And if I’m correct, I’ve already seen him in Uber earlier. He obviously does not have a life. And get your paws off Robbie Domingo for Pete’s sake. As if you have a chance teh with a face like yours.

The number of PBB female housemates is dwindling. But I fear not because the ones left standing are fan favorites. I won’t have problems if the four of them will go straight to the Big Night. Myrtle is, most of the time, a good role model, Karen has spunk and is obviously the most candid, and twins Joj and Jai just have loveable personalities.

50 plus days of being together inside the same house warrants you to become emotional when you get evicted. I give Mariz some slack. And it was her birthday so I’m sure she was expecting that another week inside the PBB house would’ve been a great birthday gift. But obviously, the universe has other plans for her. Emote na kung emote, but hey! You’re seen on national television. It’s only Filipino to be emotional in front of the camera. Either that or be laughably hysterical (like those people they show on TV Patrol).

Now regarding the house players, we’ll have to wait for the revelation tomorrow to find out who the hell they are. And I have this weird feeling that one of the house players will be Yves’ girlfriend. Now that could create tension between the famous MyrVes love team. The other is Ryan's brother? Well, we’ll just have to wait and see.

With the way Myrtle’s fans are so invested in her, I have no doubts we will see her until the end of this season. Who knows? She might even be the first to reach that finish line and ultimately become this season’s big winner. Toni’s dress tonight was beautiful, by the way.

Here is the final tally of votes from tonight’s episode:

Myrtle - 71.88%

Tom - 19.66%

Mariz - 8.46% [EVICTED]
