Mariel Rodriguez joyously tried out the teens dolphin exhibition game for herself today on Uber. The ex-houseguest had a fun time in Kuya's new pool but later on discovered that swimming through hoops and salbabidas was no mean feat. The teens have to swim through a series of obstacles and upon reaching the end of the pool must run back to his/her teammates and tag the next swimmer. Mariel then signaled the start of the game and the two teams took their positions at the starting line. Team 1, lead by Josef, was composed of Valerie, Rona, Jieriel, and Nicole while Team 2, which was lead by Robi included Linda, Nan, Beauty, and Ejay. Alex was exempted from the game because of his operation so to even out the teams Kevin acted as the referee. The group to go through the obstacles correctly and finish first wins the game.

In the past few days, we have seen Ruben's love story unfold on national television and how the housemates helped prepare for the happiest day of his life. Because after years of living together, he will finally have the chance to make things right for him and Jessele.

But before he commits himself forever, Big Brother treated him to a wholesome but fun-filled stag party tonight courtesy of Will and Jon's successful planning. They were merely doing their baking task earlier when Big Brother suddenly shifted into playing some reggae music after making them feel sentimental with wedding-themed songs. To their surprise, they saw from the plasma TV that a live band was installed in the activity area for them to enjoy. With Big Brother's signal, they attended the groom-to-be pre-wedding celebration. Some of them even took time to change clothes, prompting Kuya to remind them that the festivity would end soon.

Just like in any party they've had, they took advantage of the overflowing wine and fingerfoods laid out before them. All their faces especially Ruben's were radiating with joy as they dance to the upbeat tunes of the singing group. They certainly loved the band's performance who belted all-time favorites like "Waiting In Vain", "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", "Overjoyed" and of course, Ruben's signature song "No Woman No Cry", which he personally crooned. The comedian from Davao was really gratefuk for the surprise and he easily picked up that the whole thing was concocted by the two hunks.

But aside from Ruben's bliss, what also notable was the private conversations between the couples who seem to be more and more affected by their respective closeness. Though Riza still refrained from drinking alcohol, she managed to make the best out of the party by grooving with the music and mostly talking to Will. The two look sweet as they talked in one corner about similar parties they have attended. Even Jon and Mariel were also in close contact throughout the happenings. After the party though, it was Riza who was grilled by the girls about her evident feelings for Will. Mariel prodded her into revealing it by saying that there's nothing wrong with falling in love.

Is her ever elusive heart finally captured by the "True Lover" this time? Will Will reciprocate her feelings if this is the case? What will Ethel do if the two's friendship really blossom into love?

Fresh from Ruben's wedding this afternoon, the five remaining official celebrity housemates must take on Kuya's new and difficult challenges, without the 'help' of Ethel and Mariel. Yes, Gaby, Ruben, Will, Riza and Jon will be celebrating New Year's Day without the celebrity house guests. The two ladies thanked everyone for being such good people and wished them all the best of luck. Once on stage with Toni and Bianca, the three kids from Payatas Ethel and Mariel sponsored were awarded food carts which their families can use to earn a living. The two were also surprised when they themselves received food carts. But Ethel received a bigger surprise when her ex-boyfriend Alex Crisano appeared on stage to welcome her back to the outside world. Do we hear wedding bells in the offing?

While Ethel was basking over Alex's attention, Big Brother was getting down to business with the housemates and told them his first challenge. The housemate were instructed to give an X medallion to the person who doesn't deserve to belong to the Big Four. Everyone was horrified and Riza, who was first called to do the deed, did not budge from the sofa. " I think we are all deserving ... we should be the Big Five," Riza explained tearfully to Big Brother. Kuya then called on the others but like Riza, they all declined to name someone 'undeserving.' Ruben even mentioned that all of them even talked about sharing their prizes to the 5th placer just like what they did with Yayo.

Big Brother then proceeded to the second task which was naming the Big Winner. Every one placed their star medallions on Ruben's neck for they all felt he's this edition's Big Winner. For Gaby, Will, Riza and Jon, Ruben embodies what the first placer should be -- he was dilligent with all of the tasks, he was a humble guy and most of all he was such a loving person, who cared not only for his family but also his friends. Ruben got teary eyed with all his fellow housemates's testimonies. The funny man from Davao chose Gaby though as his Big Winner for he felt that the racer proved she can do anything, even tough jobs that are considered for men only. He also stated that he liked Gaby's firm conviction on her beliefs, giving her move to save the pigs as an example.

After donning on their black tuxedos, Jon and Will waited in the garden where an altar and red carpet were set up. After a few minutes, Mariel and Ethel came out of the house in their white wedding gowns and slowly walked towards the altar. Soon, Ruben began the ceremony. Riza and Gaby served as witnesses to the wedding, but it seemed that the Fil-Canadian beauty queen found it hard to watch Will get married to someone else. Will also felt uneasy that he was in the altar with Ethel ,who was completely obsessed about him. Meanwhile, Jon and Mariel looked like they were really enjoying the mock wedding, giving each other sweet looks while the ceremony commenced.

Although unfamiliar with how to officiate the wedding, Ruben decided to incorporate his comic relief in the ceremony, especially during the part when the couples had to wear their respective wedding rings. Incidentally, the candle that was beside Will and Ethel refused to light up, as if fate was really against what was happening. However, the ceremony was carried out through the end, and the four were declared as newlyweds.

But the biggest surprise of the afternoon was when Big Brother announced to everyone that Ruben is scheduled to get married tomorrow afternoon. The news left the Komedyanteng Promdi speechless for a while, and he later asked Kuya for further details. But Kuya remained mum and distracted Ruben by calling on the grooms to kiss their brides. As much as Jon and Mariel enjoyed the kiss, Will tried his best to get away from his bride. As punishment, Will was also ordered to carry Ethel into the house.

The question now is, will the newlyweds live happily ever after? Also, is Ruben ready to get hitched? Keep it here for more of the wedding craze inside Kuya's house and the other preparations for Ruben's big day.

Straight from the mock wedding in Uber, the housemates took turns for a professional photo shoot in the secret room. They weren't notified what it's for but of course they gamely donned the various apparel for the occasion. As usual, Gaby and Mariel had their theories about it since they recognized some of the staff from their previous projects for a certain magazine. As such, the former argued with Riza if they will be featured on a January issue of ABS-CBN's publication, not knowing that it may be used for the publicity of the much-awaited part of the reality show, the unveiling of the Big Four contenders.

Indeed, PBB Celebrity Edition 2 is drawing to its conclusion and the housemates are more aware of it for they are fewer now in the house. Ruben even noted how lonely it is inside because of the deafening silence. Add the fact that their energy is at its low point at the moment after all the hustle and bustle of their frenzied day's agenda. So while Ethel, Will and Jon strike their best poses on camera, Mariel and Ruben conversed about weddings in general. Kuya's bubbly houseguest even mentioned that this is the first time a housemate will make his wedding vows right inside the famous yellow house--since the one that was held last season was for a lucky couple from the outside world.

All these talk about marriage though led the celebrity housemates and houseguests into considering their future wedding day. No doubt about it, making a lifetime commitment is still a far-fetched notion especially for Mariel who has a booming carreer and for the rest of them who are hoping for more opportunities in the industry. All the same, Mariel took Jon's belief to heart that setting an ideal age for her to tie the knot is not really the basis of getting hitched for life. Only when she meet "The One" for her will she agree to settle down, just like what Jon said during one of their serious talks.

Looks like these two are pondering if they can have a future together. Though it remains to be seen whether their sweetness will really lead to a serious romance once they're out of the four corners of Big Brother's abode. But for now, the crucial question is who among the housemates will make their exit soon? And what surprises does Kuya has in store for his remaining residents until then?

In a hide & seek game called Kasal, Kasali, Saklolo, Jon and Will were instructed to find their chosen brides who were made to hide any where in the house. Before the game, Big Brother asked the two hunks on who among the girls they want to marry. Will chose Riza while Jon chose Mariel. However, Kuya is yet to reveal what is in store for the man who wins or loses the game.

On Big Brother's signal, Jon and Will faced the door of the confession room as Mariel, Riza, Gaby, and Ethel rushed to their chosen hiding places. Gaby sneaked behind a big prop for their pictorial task while Ethel got inside one of the kitchen cabinets. On the other hand, Riza and Mariel stuck together and hid behind the Christmas tree. After a few minutes, Jon and Will went on their way to find their brides. It only took Jon a minute to find Mariel and take her to the door of the confession room. Unfortunately for Will, it was Ethel who he found first in the kitchen.

As the loser of the game, Will together with Ethel, were instructed to get the tuxedo and the wedding dress in the storage room. As expected, Ethel was excited to wear the wedding dress with his ultimate crush. But how will the Fil-German hunk react once he finds out that, until Kuya says so, he must wear the tux and be with Ethel, and he must exchange vows with her in a mock wedding?

Big Brother's expensive presents for his celebrity residents were very timely because they were able to use their techy gadgets for their calendar pictorial. But of course, he provided a complete set of equipment that would make even the night shots picture-perfect! It's Thursday now so they rushed about to cover more months tonight. After the fun-filled Oktoberfest and the Celebrity Couple's Valentine's Special this afternoon, Ethel, Will, Jon and Ruben were featured for the sexy summer month. It was Gaby who called the shots here as she asked them to make their most alluring pose with fresh coconut drinks on hand. The gorgeous racer also took over the Nutrition Month where she artfully arranged the human-sized veggies for a colorful "family portrait".

Soon after that, Mariel spearheaded the preparation for their depiction of a festive New Year's Eve for the month of January. She worked nonstop despite her feelings of weariness. Perhaps she managed to be up on her feet for she was working with Jon. In this particular setting, she simply displayed a banquet using their stock of fruits and leftover food. To add more pizzas on its over-all impact, she even included the Christmas decors that were provided for the occasion. But her hurried movements led to the fall of a decoration. "Not my fault kuya. It's really just a ball.Please relax and take a chill pill," Mariel quipped. Another Christmas ball shattered on the floor, this time, because of Jon. As such, Will laughingly exclaimed, "Are you playing a trick on me?" since he was sweeping the floor together with Riza at that time.

Amidst the housemates multi-tasking though, Ethel seriously acted as Gaby's hairdresser for the traditional Santacruzan for their May cover. Once she was finished highlighting Gaby's captivating features, the latter can't help admiring her wonderful transformation. Still, she didn't waste time taking her position with Ruben as her escort. The sexy comedienne handled the camera for this photo shoot.

With the way things are going, they will surely complete the calendar months before the deadline. But the joy of winning another challenge by the end of this week won't be felt by one of the six contenders for the Big Four slate.

After doing the Christmas pictorial for the December cover yesterday, our celebrity housemates carried on with their photo shoot for the remaining 11 months. This morning, everyone started working on the October cover to finish their weekly task in time. Just like they planned, the boys prepared posed as if they were in an Oktoberfest drinking spree. Baron, Will, Jon, and Ruben were provided with national costumes of various countries and a some flaglets as props. Of course, there were beer mugs and the keg which they used to make the Oktoberfest picture more reaslistic. Ethel took charge of taking the pictures with her new camera and the one that Big Brother provided for the task.

But it was when the housemates worked on their February cover when things got a little exciting. The popular loveteams inside the famous yellow house paired for a romantic pictorial. Jon and Mariel dared to bring their sweet chemistry in front of the flashes, while Will and Riza acted like a real couple which made Ethel more jealous. The sexy-comedienne could only wish that she should not have taken the photography job so she could take Will for her own.

However, there was no time for protests, for the accomplishing the task was serious business. The two loveteams posed by the fake fireplace with cupids and heart cut-outs in the background. Of course, knowing Mariel and Riza to be "kikays," the two girls put on their best make up and hairdo. After the lights and camera were set, Riza sat beside Will while holdiing a beautiful bouquet of red flowers. Then, Mariel held hands with Jon, and the sweetness between the two went beyond what words could describe. But after taking a few shots, Ethel showed the sample pictures to the four, and they all agreed that the photos were not romantic enough.

To sizzle up the pictorial, the pairs decided to get more close and comfortable with each other. Riza leaned back towards Will, and the hunk model wrapped the Fil-Canadian beauty queen in his arms. On the other hand, Mariel figured to make her own love-filled atmosphere by intently staring into Jon's eyes as if they were about to kiss. But before anyone could think that something serious is going on, Will, Riza, Mariel, and Jon kept everything professional just like how they did in the numerous pictorials they all have done in the past.

But will this photo shoot open up some undiscussed feelings amongst the four? Could this prompt Will to finally tear down the wall between him and Riza? Will Mariel now see Jon more than just a "friend?"

Day 71 proved to be another roller coaster ride for the celebrity housemates with Gaby and Yayo fate in the hands of the voting public. Still, more shocking events came starting with the conclusion of their season long task in the morning. Since they were able to raise P26,000 from their piggy painting auction, a reunion between Peggy and her offspring became possible. Yesterday, they were instructed to bring the piglets one by one inside the storage room where they were fetched. But of course they didn't leave without leaving some "presents" for their godparents. And it was Jon and Will who were tasked to pick up after their smelly poo on the floor!

Later in the afternoon, Big Brother unveiled his surprise guests to complete the housemates Christmas celebration. Their loved ones came including Mariel's grandparents Lolo Raphael and Lola May Sasson, Gaby's mom Mrs. Genevieve Baltao, Jon's cousin Karen Verde, Baron's sister Grace Morales and Riza's mom Mrs. Dina Santos who came all the way from Canada. The latter's reunion with her uber poised daughter was truly heartwarming for Riza never expected them to take a vacation just for her. She remembered that before she entered the big yellow house, her parents said that they couldn't come because of their work. Baron on the other hand felt homesick and even confessed to Big Brother that he had repeatedly imagined seeing his mom again.

Perhaps his overwhelming feelings made him extra sensitive to Mariel's quips about following his bidding like a househelp. As such, Baron answered back that he felt offended by her joke. Mariel didn't back off though as she exclaimed that maybe he's touchy because he was lazing around instead of helping with the chores. With that, Baron cowered but he told Riza that he was simply getting a much needed rest after running forever in the treadmill during the past week. Good thing he was able to patch things up with Mariel later on.

Meanwhile, Big Brother's last surprise visitor was no less than Yayo herself. Dressed for a possible eviction, the housemates gathered in the living room with their blindfolds on. There Yayo hugged each of them before revealing her identity. At that point, everyone grew emotional as they got reunited with their grieving mommy. Luckily she was able to bond with them again even for just a while. Because in truth, she wasn't eager to become a housemate, knowing that someone would be forced to exit just for her. Hence, she later accepted the people's decision with a wide smile on her face. And just before she left, she told Gaby, "You're that one girl who should be in the Big Four."

How did Gaby react towards the result of the voting? Will Ruben, Ethel and Will feel bad for not seeing any of their family this holiday season? And how did the housemates celebrate Jesus birth tonight?

It's only one day to go before Christmas eve! And not only the people from the outside world are rushing about to go Christmas shopping because even the housemates were allowed for the first time to do their market outside the big yellow house! After attending the dawn mass, Big Brother announced this exciting chore of theirs, excluding the two houseguests. Later, they recounted how fans took picture of them at the mall even with their blindfolds on. As it was, they only took off their cover during the ten-minute limit for them to pick their groceries for noche buena.

But the thrill of their PBB holiday weekend didn't end there. It seems Big Brother wanted them to stay on their feet as he bestowed his Christmas surprises to each of the housemates. It was Ruben who conveyed his message that they should gather in the living room and sit on their respective chairs every time Christmas songs would be played. And surprise, surprise! Their loved ones arrived individually to greet them a Merry Christmas! The only catch was that they couldn't remove their blindfolds while talking briefly to them and those who failed to return to their place would forfeit their surprise.

Gaby's mom came first, with the gorgeous racer's favorite food like capers and salami as pasalubong. Mariel's grandparents brought steaks, which only added to their bountiful stock this week. Riza on the other hand screamed like she never did before as soon as she realized that the person hugging her was no less than her mom herself! She couldn't believe that her family's really here in the country something that she wished to happen ever since. Meanwhile, the housemates were actually shocked to hear the ever prim and proper Riza get carried away like that. As such, they later quipped that she should try to maintain that open and carefree personality starting today.Nevertheless, they all felt the love flowing between mother and daughter.

After that, a long interval followed where Big Brother played around by making them dash back to the living room, only to find out that the signal wasn't really a Christmas song nor the right one. Perhaps, he was testing them if they were really up for the challenge of receiving their "treats". Anyway, the next guest was Baron's sister who had a letter from her brood, thanking their uncle for the board game he sent them. Who else will make a house call today? Know all the latest chismis on the PBB Multiply Site.

Just this morning, Big Brother told all the celebrity housemates that three Kapamilyas namely Aling Lydia, Mang Tomas, and Aling Mila express their desire to buy Peggy's little ones for Php 20,000, the proceeds of which will go to a non-profit organization. But the housemates were greatly affected by Kuya's decision and had a protest. However, they were given the chance to save their godpiglets by selling the paintings they made yesterday through an auction. They must be able to raise the Php 20k amount to save the piglets from being sold, and the money will be donated to a non-profit organization.

After wearing their Filipiniana costumes, the housemates went straight into the garden. Through a live camera, the housemates sold their works of art to all interested buyers. Mariel was the first one to sell her "Balake Aketch" painting featuring the cute piglet Posh. The pretty houseguest put her masterpiece for sale at Php 3,000 and invited all her UpLate, Uber, and Wowowee fans to place their bids. Afterwards, Gaby stepped in front of the camera to convince all her relatives and friends to buy her impressive "Liwayway" painting featuring her godpiglet Porkchop for only Php 5,000. The paintings were soon snatched up by eager followers of Mariel and Gaby which made the housemates heer with delight. It was indeed a good sign
that the cute piglets are about to have a good life.

Uber host Bianca Gonzales also gave an update on the piglet's mom, Peggy. She visited Mommy Peggy in her new home in Paradizoo in Tagaytay. There, the famous housepig has been enjoying a nice life in the care of the zoo officials. The question now, however, is if Peggy's offspring will have the same fate as their mother's.

The death of Yayo's mom left a huge impact on the housemates who had a reflective group discussion about their own parents after watching a video of their ex-housemate talking about her grief. Mariel rehashed how she grew up with her grandparents since her parents had her at the tender age of sixteen, making them too young to care for a baby. But then she claimed that she bore no grudge against them for abandoning her, knowing that she wouldn't be strong and independent as she is now without that experience.

Baron's turn enlightened the housemates with regards to his wild personality for he was raised by super strict parents. He is aware that it was the reason why he became rebellious. Seeing Mommy Yayo's difficulty in finding means for her family made him realize that he doesn't want his mom to be in the same position. He tearfully shared that he wanted to give the world to his mom and be close to her again, but he simply couldn't find the way to her heart now. Still, he promised to make up for all his transgressions once his stint is over.

Ruben's financial need is no secret to everyone. Coming from a poor family is difficult but he doesn't blame his parents for it because he knows that they tried their best to give him and his siblings a good life. On the other hand, Will's disclosure about his great fear towards his stepdad came as a surprise for everyone. He revealed that he was so afraid to ask questions that sometimes he told him that he understood his demands or instructions when in truth, he really didn't. It was like that for twenty years for him and Will even felt that his mom was never completely happy because of his stern stepfather. He was so struck by the well of emotions inside him to the point that he remained disturbed until after their sharing.

Later, Big Brother gathered his six certified residents in the confession room to tell them that they are now the final contenders for the Celebrity Big Four slate, which meant that Yayo has really no chance to come back for her slot. However, they all agreed to Mariel's suggestion that those who will reach the coveted circle of winners would shell out a part of their winnings”P150,000 from the Big Winner, P100,000 from the Third and Second Placer and P50,000 from the Fourth Placer with a total of P400,000. And Ruben, Gaby, Riza, Will, Baron and Jon assured Big Brother of their 100% willingness in this selfless act.

Jon and Mariel are inseparable as ever as they do a lot of things together, be it related to their weekly task, brushing their teeth or simply talking the night away. What better way to spend their spare time than lying under the stars while fireworks lit the sky. Talk about romance at its fullest! This is the very thing that the two are sharing at this moment. It seems the two have found a mini carpet which they spread on the sandy ground in the garden. They justify that there's really nothing wrong with their closeness for they are merely enjoying each other's company and nothing more.

Twosomes are actually quite the rage among them as Will and Riza constantly bond whenever they can. Too bad that the Canadian beauty is yet to find her place in the household since her real personality is still being questioned by her housemates. Although she had opened up to Ethel that she sometimes feel intimidated by her and thus, hindering them to become good friends, both are still distant towards one another especially when one's around to start a conversation. Good thing Will is there to be with her, though he himself is flustered already by this "love triangle" issue.

On the other hand, Gaby and Baron work as a pair in their walk to Bethlehem without the confusing "strings" that comes with being tagged as a hot couple in Kuya's famed residence. All they are concerned about is finishing the target miles for this week's challenge just like the rest of the housemates. But aside from this task, they also continue to labor for their Kris Kringle babies. Ethel for instance prepared a mouthwatering fruity pancake for Baby Jon while Ruben served Baby Gaby her dinner meal in a "fun plate". On Mariel's part, she "adopted" Baby Riza since Yayo is out already. Jon was laughing at her for she gave Riza real gifts like contact lenses yesterday then a shirt today instead of doing a good deed for her. Mariel reasoned out that she can't think of any surprise anymore and besides, Riza said that she needed a top anyway.

In the meantime, the winners of the Boggle game in Uber have received their prize just now. Will got a letter from his bestfriend while Riza was ecstatic to hear from her dad whom she thinks may be spending a vacation here in the country. Moreover, his message surely encouraged her how to face the trying times ahead. His letter said, "I'm so proud that you stood by your principle. Continue to seek to understand rather than be understood." So Ethel better watch out because Riza won't be prone to her quips anymore.

Can Riza really stand the pressure being thrown her way? What other trials will the housemates face now that the show in its last few weeks?

In this afternoon's Uber, Bianca Gonzales broke the news that Yayo's mother had passed away this afternoon. Kuya talked to Mariel in the confession room and had her relay the events that happened during her and Yayo's absence. The pretty houseguest accompanied Yayo to the hospital this noon instantly when Yayo learned of the devastating news. When Mariel and Yayo left the house a few hours ago, they were deeply hoping that they will see Yayo's mother in a better condition. Unfortunately, on their way to the hospital, Mrs. Racelis had succumbed to a cardiac arrest. Mariel shed light on Yayo's condition while dealing with the great loss. According to Mariel, Yayo was greatly affected because she never had the chance to speak to her mother before she entered Kuya's house a couple of months ago. Apparently Mrs. Racelis had already been suffering from diabetes and a serious heart ailment.

Mariel left the confession room and personally told the other housemates about the incident. Although they don't know Mrs. Racelis that well, all the housemates knew how much pain Yayo is going through, and together, they lit some white candles and offered a solemn prayer to ask God to give Yayo strength and eternal peace for the soul of her mother. Gaby, Baron, Riza, and the other housemates, who were very close to Yayo, failed to hold their emotions knowing that the housemates they all look up to as their mom in Kuya's house is actually going through a very difficult time. It was then when silence and mourning engulfed the what used to be a loud and fun-filled house.

As of the moment, the remains of Mrs. Racelis is at the Arlington Funeral Homes in Quezon City. Dealing with deep grief at the moment, Yayo has not yet decided on her fate as a celebrity housemate. Will she return to Kuya's house or will she make a voluntary exit for her mother's funeral?

Each player must pass the round electrical handle through another wire looped in the shape of PBB 2. They must avoid the wire of the handle from touching the wire of the loop because doing so will complete the circuit and the stars on the machine will all light up and a buzzer sound will go off. Every time the light and the sound are activated, the player must start all over again with his or her turn. All the housemates were given only three tries to perfectly pass the round eletrical handle to up to the end of the looped wire. Whoever finishes their round the fastest wins and gets the chance to play the cool Wii video game console for 30 minutes.

Riza was the first one to try, but unfortunately, she got grounded thrice. The misfortune rolled on with the succeeding players. Mariel even got grounded several times as she kept on laughing while she tried to move the handle on the live wire. However, Ethel had a hard time dealing with the live wire because of her fear of electricity. Among all the players, Gaby almost won the game when she reached past the first "B" loop of the live wire before she accidentally completed the circuit.

Too bad no one among our celebrity housemates finished the game. But as consolation prize, Big Brother offered a stick of cigarette to anyone who will get past the looped live wire. It did not come as a surprise when Baron eagerly accepted the challenge. But will the Wild Child succeed in his goal for one yosi?

There's a reason why liquor companies warn people to drink moderately and Baron's wild antics during the housemates beach clubbing experience says it all. Initially, Big Brother brought the raving atmosphere of Bora in his abode to match Ethel's winning summer outfit. Fruit shakes and juices were first served to them. But eventually, they were treated to an unlimited supply of alcohol mixed by a pro bartender whom the Wild Child recognized from his regular drinking sprees.

But what was supposed to be a wholesome party turned into a distasteful one because of Baron's outrageous behavior. In the course of their partying, his inhibitions flew out of his head, making him more aggressive towards the girls. He kept kissing them and at one point, it seemed he even felt Ethel's breasts! Though they were tolerant of his naughtiness, Big Brother put his foot down and detained him in the confession room. As it was, the Wild Child had too much to drink for he downed successive glasses of hard alcohol. And obviously, his insolent language towards Big Brother proved that he was not fit to be in his housemates company anymore.

Contrary to Ethel's flirtatious moves over Will, hitting on him is not her primary goal as Kuya's houseguest. Tonight, we were given a closer glimpse to her chosen families whose lives will change this New Year. She personally went to Payatas, Quezon City to search for three direct beneficiaries of her PBB mission. Amidst the gritty heaps of garbage that surrounded the place, she met such lovable personalities of Albert Tora, Jovelyn Rupino and Joven Trambulo whose heart-rending conditions touched her to the very core. To remind her of them, she combed through the thrashes for three souvenirs that represented each of their condition an empty bottle of medicine (for Albert's pneumonia), a girly headband (which embodies Jovelyn as a rose among thorns) and a ruler (for Joven's ambition to finish his schooling).

Alongside this meaningful endeavor though is her naughty wish for the True Lover's heart. Now that she's free again, Ethel set her sights on Will, which she repeatedly stated during her interview with PBB Uber Host Bianca Gonzalez. And here comes a complex twist in the scheme of things. We've learned that she would be sharing responsibilities with Mariel. In the confession room, Big Brother made sure that the two are willing to stay until the end of the program the only stipulation that will ensure something good for their charity case. At the same time, he also asked them to help him bring out both the admirable and terrible traits of his seven certified residents. Their first project is to find out if Riza's too-good-to-be-true personality is truly genuine or not.

As it was, the Desirable Diva is already feeling awkward with Ethel's homecoming. Notably, she started hiding herself again, just when she's starting to warm up to her co-boarders. She confessed to Big Brother that she sometimes feel uncomfortable with the Ultimate Pasaway's piercing stares and intimidating air. Unbeknownst to her, things would become more trying as Ethel and Mariel prepare to test her limits. Together with the others, her only advantage now is the knowledge that the two are not their competitors, as Kuya assured them of this. The question is, will they be able to surpass the challenges and intrigues that Kuya's agents will throw on their way?

The exciting game was held in the garden where the white Boracay sand completed the whole beach ambiance. The housemates were allowed to choose who they want to face in the Limbo Rock competition. Ethel chose Riza, Mariel chose Gaby, Will chose Jon, and Yayo chose Ruben. The Ultimate Pasaway and Desirable Diva first raced under the sticks. The Limbo Rock game was composed of four rounds wherein the sticks were lowered after each round. On the fourth round, Riza's knees touched the sand, and hence, she lost the game. Riza was then ordered to finish the Big Brother 7-Shooter the ingredients of which are still unknown. Riza started smelling each shot glass, unsure if she can finish all seven drinks. Kuya then told Riza to step away from the table as she could not do the punishment.

Before the housemates could worry, the 7-shooter was actually a combination of different edible liquids like egg white, grape juice, calamansi, and others. The in the second round, Will and Jon squared off to see who's the "real man" between them. The two poster hunks tried their best to go under the stick, but in the final round, Jon was caught tilting his head under. The English Outcast then lost the game to the True Lover. However, Jon successfully finished the 7-shooter like a fearless man.

Questioning why the sudden Boracay indulgence escaped the celebrity housemates today. After all, they focused on maximizing the unlimited alcoholic drinks that seldom infiltrate Kuya's abode. They forgot that many times before, they have to work hard for any luxury that they wanted. As such, nothing prepared the English Outcast for the blame that Big Brother put on him! Mariel returned from the confession room with a list of liquor expenses worth P20,000. Worse, Jon was appointed to shoulder the whole payment of which since he should have been sensible enough to stop the housemates from getting drunk as HOH for this week. Yayo suggested that perhaps everyone could simply chip in to lessen the burden on the English Outcast. But it seems Big Brother has yet to decide if this is possible.

Meanwhile, Mariel also brought with her a box of toiletries comprised of cold cream and soft loofas, to remove the face paint of the five scribbling violators. But to do this, Mariel and Ethel were assigned as their "therapists" who scrubbed their faces clean by using their feet! Riza, Ruben, Will, Jon and Gaby didn't have to worry though since the two houseguests are very meticulous when it comes to hygiene and cleanliness. In fact, Mariel claimed that her feet even smelled of orange at the time. As such, their clients simply enjoyed the cold creamed face massage they received.

However, Big Brother refused to make it so easy for them at first by insisting that the five can't wash their faces after their spa treat’, which meant the excess of cold cream and paint should be left as it is. The Desirable Diva protested though since this may result to pimple breakouts. And since Mariel also agreed to her point, Big Brother signaled for their shower time, which totally lifted the punishment for the five offenders.

For now, let's tune in to the progress of their giant Christmas lantern that Gaby and Ruben were so addicted to. At the same time, be in-the-know about the constant pursuit of the Ultimate Pasaway towards the apple of her eye as well as Mariel and Jon's Crazy Love moments on the PBB Multiply Site.

Tonight, we have glimpsed the conclusion of Gladys voluntary exit which weighed heavily on Big Sister. Big Brother checked in on her twice to make sure that everything's going smoothly despite Gladys protests to come out. Her depression lasted throughout day 57 and reached its climax when she burst into tears just when they were about to carry out their gift-giving activity. As such, everyone gathered in the girls bedroom to comfort her, leaving the 30 chosen kids waiting for the merry event to start. After the Queen of Patawa's sobs died down, she then told them to proceed with the task without her.

The experience certainly brought in the spirit of Christmas for the Santa Housemates met the kids in person and even gave them a sleigh ride in the garden. Baron acted as Santa Claus while the rest of the guys played as his reindeers. They later reflected on the blessing of becoming instruments in bestowing joy through such simple endeavors. For them, seeing the young ones brighten up upon receiving their gifts was truly a priceless experience.

The next morning proved to be a better one for both Gladys and Big Sister. Though the Queen of Patawa was still unyielding towards her decision to leave, she's calm enough to wait for Big Brother's return. Hearing his voice in the middle of their afternoon game immediately lightened her mood, knowing that the time had finally arrived for her to leave. Together with the housemates, she found the consent she's been asking for and left without the grandeur that usually marked a Saturday Eviction Night.

Not long after that, Big Brother called Jon in the confession room for the exclusive privilege of unraveling Big Sister's location in the secret room. In true PBB fashion, Mariel's homecoming was kept in suspense for sometime as the English Outcast fooled around by trying to emulate Big Brother's voice. What's more, he was the first one to welcome her in the flesh! Baron later joined them but he quickly went out to give the "lovebirds" their privacy. Then finally, everyone sought Mariel in her hideout to give her warm hugs for her happy return.

Now that Gaby dropped her earlier decision to leave and both Mariel and Ethel are back as houseguests with a mission.
