The housemates were raring for the wheelchair basketball finals since this morning. Most of the guys have repeatedly steered their wheelchairs around the house to better prep themselves up. The long wait finally took its toll though, making them sleepy after their hearty lunch. Then finally they were called inside the confession room where Big Brother instructed them to arrange an impromptu sexy cheer dance before the game.

Notching their thrill were the personalized blue uniforms that they obtained from the storage room jerseys and shorts for the players then skimpy skirts and midrib sleeveless tops for Gladys and Baron who acted as cheerleaders! Begging for reconsideration, he asked Kuya to give him proper male clothes, all to no avail. It seemed a joke he made yesterday was taken seriously, hence the laughable consequence of his actions.

In the activity area, Coach Noel introduced Clover, Gerald, Juanito and Rene, their opponents from the Philippine team. Knowing how tough the competition would be, the housemates prayed hard before the game proper. As it was, they were already on the losing end by the end of first half, leaving their rivals with a 20-point advantage. No amount of teasing pleas from the Wild Child could persuade the Philippine Team to slacken their pace.

Defeated, the housemates requested for a rematch even if it meant endangering 100% of their budget as per Big Brother'™s additional stipulation. This time, the boys were more confident with their chances of winning. And unbelievably, they succeeded with flying colors during the second round!

Prior to this event, Gaby, Gladys and Baron were assigned to think of an appropriate punishment for the English-speaking hunks Jon and Will. Apparently, they failed to refrain from switching to their usual language when talking to their housemates. As such, the trio planned the best course of action for the duo. They decided to require their "pupils" to write Tagalog poems upon Big Brother's approval of course. Hopefully, this will keep them more in tune with their use of Tagalog words next time.

After the rollercoaster of events in the past week, it's now time for a new weekly task. Our celebrity housemates are in for another challenging ride with the Wheelchair Basketball weekly task. To give our housemates an idea on how playing basketball in a wheelchairl is done, Big Brother provided a video of a paralympic competition. The housemates were stunned at what they saw, hence at first, they decided on betting only 50% of their budget on this task. But Kuya, like always, challenged the housemates in pushing for a 100% bet yet again, given that the housemates still have a lot of supplies left. However, the housemates thought that the challenge would be more difficult in the field than in the video, hence, they compromised for a 75% bet.

Next, the housemates studied the guidelines of the wheelchair basketball game. Apparently, there are some special rules and regulations in this game unlike in regular basketball. For this type of basketball, there's a more detailed point system and fouls and violations to take note of. Although most of the boys believe they could play basketball even with their eyes closed, the tough part is dribbling and passing the ball while maneuvering the wheelchair.

After lunch, Big Brother gave the housemates the wheelchairs they will be using for the task. All of them must begin familiarizing themselves on how life is like with their legs rendered useless. Kuya instructed the housemates to move the dining chairs and other furniture in the hallway for a while so they can all move freely inside the house.
