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.

The evening started with a roaring 20s themed number with Kuya, Toni, ex-celebrity housemate Mcoy Fundales and special guests Nikki Gil and Vina Morales. Toni is soon joined by Uber hosts Bianca and Mariel, looking very fabulous in their colorful evening gowns. In a back take on the happenings inside the house which started last October 14, the ex-celebrity HMs made their appearances on stage one by one.

While all these were happening, Will, Riza, Ruben and Gaby waited patiently for Kuya's signal to leave the house. Soon, the first of Kuya's special visitors of the night appeared. Ms. Mercy Cabrillas of Tahanang Sta. Luisa, Jon's chosen charity's representative, received a check worth P20,000, the coins they used for the Big Four special task converted by Big Brother to fulfill the four's request for the "fifth placer".

Riza gave another one of her shocking screams when her father came in next. Mr. Ruel Santos shared some encouraging words for his daughter and was also very pleased to meet the other housemates. Will, on the other hand, received a special phone call from his mother, Doris Dorman, from the States. Kuya mentioned that he had a hard time locating Will's mom for apparently she relocated to homes. Will was so pleased to hear from his mother that he could not help but shed a tear or two. Ruben also jumped for joy upon seeing his uncle whom he affectionately calls Papa Locloc. He proudly introduced to the housemates the man who inspired him to be a comedian. Last but not the least is Gaby's older brother, Jan. The housemates were amazed how he was so much like Gaby. He even joked a lot with them despite having a sprained leg. All of the housemates only had 100 seconds each to speak to their loved ones and these short moments left them craving to see the outside world more.

Meanwhile, Ethel was on a roll at the Big Night stage with her fellow comedians who were ready to give their hilarious sketches of the Big Four. Tuesday Vargas took the stage first as the Racing Goddess. The crowd could not help but laugh with her on the spot imitation of Gaby. A "bald" RS Francisco transformed into Will and emphasized the Fil-German's effort to speak tagalog in spite of his twisted tongue. He and Ethel cracked the audience up as they re-enacted the love team-that-would-just-not-be. Giselle Sanchez, who took on the role of last season's fourth big placer Gee Ann Abrahan, became Riza. Beauty conscious like the Cheering Chick, Giselle carried a compact wherever she went. Also she went from conservative to screaming girl just like Riza when she saw her mother. The comedian from Davao was portrayed by Ricci Chan, who copied Ruben's trademark Budotz dance and failed first marriage proposal.

Finally the Big Four arrive at the Araneta and were ushered in a mini confession room backstage. Jon, Victor, Baron and Mariel made a skit reminiscent of their Kaishou Taishou task to announce what the winners will be receiving. The Fourth Big Placer will be receiving P400,000 from Jack and Jill snacks and ABS-CBN while his/her chosen charity will be getting P200,000 from Globe Asiatique. The Third Big Placer in turn will be getting P600,000 from Jack and Jill snacks and ABS-CBN and his/her chosen charity will be given P300,000 from Globe Asiatique. The Second Big Placer is to receive a whopping P1,000,000 from Jack and Jill snacks and ABS-CBN and his/her chosen charity P500,000 from Globe Asiatique. The Big Winner will be taking home a Sony Bravia, a Goodah business franchise worth P2,000,000, a condominium unit from Chateau Valenzuela and P2,000,000 cash from Jack and Jill snacks and ABS-CBN. His/her charity on the other hand will be receiving a million from Globe Asiatic. Toni also mentions that Gaby's prizes will have a deduction because of her two week stay outside the house. She too reminds everyone of the Big Four's pledge of 10% of their winnings to Mommy Yayo.

The moment of truth arrives and the envelope of the Fourth Big Placer comes out with a bang. Will is then announced to come out and receive his prizes on stage. The model could not be happier with the decision for he feels they are all winners already at that point. The True Lover took in 230,509 or 14.65% of the text votes. He is also announced Jag Jeans newest celebrity endorser.

The third place belonged to Gaby, garnering a total of 406,892 or 25.5% of the votes. The Racing Goddess cheerfully waved to her supporters after emerging from below the stage. She thanked everyone for making her stint inside one big life changing experience.

The tension was definitely off the charts when the Second Big Placer was announced. Riza, the Desirable Diva, took in 430,135 votes or 27.335 of the total tally. She was ecstatic to see not only her family but also her supporters.

Ruben could only shed tears of joy as he relished victory in the confession room alone. He soon emerged on a throne in the middle of a fire works filled stage. The Komedyanteng Promdi could not help but jump up and down. He was met on stage tearfully by his wife, Jesselle. The other housemates crowded him too with their congratulatory hugs and kisses. Ruben could only utter endless thanks to those who helped him bag the most coveted prize of all. "Para sa lahat ng sumuporta , pangrarap ng buong bayan natupad nap o. Maraming, maraming salamat po!"

Another celebrity edition has ended but we still have a lot of surprises in store for 2008!

The celebrity housemates could only sigh when the Kung Fu Kids accomplished their mission to sabotage the coin tower that they have tediously rebuilt over and over again. With that done, the hyper-active children spent the remaining hours playing around with them until Bianca swapped places with the bulilits. Unknown to the former boarder of Kuya, her "return pass" to the outside world depended on whether the celebrity Big Four can create a tower which stands three dangkal-long.

It was an attainable feat but they were worried about possible intruders who can attack them anytime. Big Brother's plan of destruction came in full swing right after he tricked his residents into changing their lapel batteries. That was when the unknown ninjas entered in a rush just to frighten them with the basketballs they have hurled near the delicate structure on the plastic table. The four instantly prepared for the next attack as they were barraged with more distractions. And in a split second, they failed to see the ninja who made a perfect aimed for the "target". Though giving up was far from their thoughts, they were simply too tired to give it another try that evening. But at least, they managed to give Bianca her freedom earlier in Uber.

Aside from their continuous efforts for their difficult construction project, each of the Big Four presented their gimmick in promoting their bet for the Big Win. First off was Riza who sported a fisherman's attire to campaign for herself through her vision of environmental progress. Ruben advertised Gaby's admirable talents while wearing a car-racer's suit. On the other hand, both Will and Gaby predictably asked the viewers to choose the comedian from Davao for he truly deserves to land the much-coveted first spot.

Till the last minute, Big Brother really wanted to test the limits of his strongly-bonded residents. It's all about the money this time--that is--the pails of coins that they have been trying to pile up for two days now. The challenge is its height should be ten times the span of the tip of one's thumb to pinky finger. It was practically an impossible feat as the Celebrity Big Four strived to stack the coins that will fit Big Brother's requirements. They succeeded in building approximately five "dangkal-long" of coins but it kept on crashing down for various reasons.

Last night, they resigned to simply restart the project early this morning since Big Brother was determined to sabotage their hard-earned efforts. And as you saw in Uber, Bianca was able to make her escape in time for her needed preparations for the Big Night after extending a hand to the Big Four. However, Gaby, Will, Ruben and Riza continued the task with Big Brother's warning that they can no longer put it off to evade his schemes to hit the tower. As such, the four proceeded to build the "high-rise" slimmer as it went higher. To do this, they surrounded four heaps of centavo coins with two piles of one-peso coins.

Then when it became clear that they slowly but surely raised the desired height, the housemates suddenly heard a commotion behind the giant doors in the garden! They quickly did a defensive stance for this was when the balls started to be thrown last night. They also put up some improvised walls to guard their work. But Big Brother kept on distracting them by asking Will and Riza to drain the hot tub. And as if such interruptions weren't enough, the unnerving heartbeat was sounded to signal the 24-hour countdown until the much-awaited night at the Big Dome!

But before the Celebrity Big Four forget their promise to share part of their winnings to Mommy Yayo, Big Brother conveyed his clever suggestion how they can equally divide their share. Instead of what they have planned before, he told them that perhaps they could just give ten percent of their prize to their ex-housemate. Meaning, the 1st Placer will give P200,000, P100,000 from the 2nd Placer, 3rd Placer will dole out P60,000 and P40,000 will come from the 4th Placer. And all of them agreed that this is certainly a better idea.

This is what all Kuyanatics have been waiting for, the night to end all nights! After 12 weeks, four celebrity housemates will compete for the much coveted spot in this edition. A few hours from now, Will, Riza, Gaby, and Ruben will be at the Araneta Coliseum but before the main event, the formidable four must ready themselves both physically and emotionally.

To give the final four enough rest, Big Brother woke them around noon. As they came out of their rooms, they were all stunned by the beautiful and elegant clothes displayed in the living room. Ruben could not believe that he would be able to wear such a dashing tuxedo, while Gaby felt weird that she would leave the house in a fabulous gown. Bur before getting into their respective attires, the four gathered in the dining area for their last lunch inside the famous yellow house. Knowing Kuya, he saved the best for last, and the Big Four dined over some delectable treats complete with sweet desserts. However, they didn't have the appetite to take on the treats because of the nervousness brought about by tonight's final deliberation.

After lunch, the shower call was given and two girls went ahead, while the two boys started packing their stuff in their luggages. Ruben sank into a sentimental mood as he reminisced the precious time spent there with the other housemates. Up to now, the comedian from Davao still could not believe how easily he bonded with the more recognized celebrities. Meanwhile, Will expressed his gratitude for having had the chance to stay in the house where he found the home and family he never had growing up. But shying away from the drama, the hunk model just teased his best pal about his upcoming "pulot gata" with his wife Jessell.

However, the tower of coins task was still on going, and the Big Four were yet to reach Big Bro's expected tower height. Right after their turn in the shower, Will and Ruben worked to finish the tower. Gaby also helped out for a while, until she was called to join Riza to have their make up and hair done. Ruben and Will managed to finish the task and carefully guarded the tower as they sensed that Kuya was out to destroy the tower again.

This is really it! Who among Will, Riza, Gaby, and Ruben will prevail as this season's Celebrity Big Winner?

On her first morning inside the famous yellow house after over a year, Bianca started getting to know our Celebrity Big Four. The pretty Uber host had finally accepted her fate as Kuya's latest houseguest, days before the much waited Big Night. It seemed that Bianca still has the blood of a true celebrity housemate as she had an easy time bonding with Ruben, Riza, Will, and Gaby. She first helped Gaby and Ruben and sorting out all the coins that were remnants of the ruined tower. No matter how devastating, the housemates began dealing with the sight of the destroyed tower that they all have painstakingly built and protected for days. However, they all realized that there was no point in crying over spilled milk as they know they have done their best.

But it looked like Big Brother was still waiting to see all the Php 20,000 worth of coins stacked in a tower structure. After talking to the Big Four in the confession room, Will, Riza, Ruben, and Gaby returned to the garden, and with a little help from Bianca, they began rebuilding the tower of coins. This time, however, they were all mindful of their errors, and they devised a new strategy in putting up a stronger and much stable tower. With the second chance that they were given, our Big Four went to work with greater optimism and determination. Meanwhile, Bianca gave her full support to the housemates, and being a former celebrity housemate, she knew how important success is in every task.

But can Bianca give her 100% focus with a lot of things leaving her thoughts in a jumble? For how long will Big Brother keep her inside the house, and what about her hosting job for tomorrow's Big Night?

While painstakingly finishing the tower of coins, Riza and Will were both surprised when four kids all dressed in martial arts costumes came in from the garden doors. The four lead stars of the upcoming kiddie action series Kung Fu Kids invaded the famous yellow house and attempted to take down the precious tower of coins. But Riza and Will were quick to respond and called Ruben and Gaby for back up. The Big Four then all together protected their tower from the Kung Fu Kids who, because of their small size, managed to run away from the housemates' reach.

However, when the kids found it hard to defeat the grown ups, the Kung Fu Kids tried another tactic. They lured the Big Four into learning the Kung Fu dance choreo, but while the Big Four's attention were diverted, one by one, the kids tried to get close to the tower of coins. Fortunately, the housemates still outsmarted them and prevented them from carrying out their wicked mission. After some kulitans here and there, the Big Four still cooperated in learning the dance, while watching the kids from the corners of their eyes.

Afterwards, Big Brother called the kids into the confession room. The Big Four then took the opportunity to build a barricade using the Coke beach chairs around the tower of coins. Then later, they guarded all the entrance points in the garden, including the glass sliding door, the main gate, and the door to the activity area. From there, the Kung Fu Kids came out one by one and again tried take down the tower of coins.

In spite of the chaotic situation, the housemates seemed to have had a great time having children inside the house. Ruben enjoyed the kids' game, very much used to playing with his son while Riza and Gaby treated them like their nieces and nephews. On the other hand, Will used his height to his advantage in keeping the kids out of the tower's vicinity.

When the kids got tired, the housemates just toured their guests around Kuya's house and offered them some snacks to freshen up. But will the kids still pursue their mission to topple the coin tower?

Tension ran high last night as the whole world waited for the answer to the big question whether Jon would be forced evicted or not, and ultimately, the announcement of the Celebrity Big Four. Fans, ex-housemates and the family of the housemates at risk were filled with mixed emotions when the final hour arrived. Prior to that moment, Jon conveyed his desire to stay until the end during a one-on-one with Big Brother. But just like his prediction, he had to go because he was a "pasaway".

The feeling of being a part of the prestigious feat in PBB came unexpectedly for Gaby, Will, Riza and Ruben. Their joy though was evident as they shared their moment of glory. They even made a toast to commemorate their lucky night as well as their recent ex-housemate Jon. Later, Riza crazily dealt with the fact that she's really "in", much to everyone's amusement. On the other hand, Will claimed that being in the Big Four is enough for him and he doesn't care anymore whatever happens at the Big Dome on Saturday night. He was truly happy not only for himself but also for his close buddy Ruben.

Then the next hours were dedicated to the completion of their latest task, that is, the tower of coins. From the underwater coin insignia that they have formed the other night, Big Brother gave this challenge to them after his quick visit right inside his own abode! Riza was open-mouthed when he told her that he would tour the house to personally inspect what they had accomplished with the emblem. With their urging, Big Brother also tasted their favorite peanut butter sandwich which he prepared on his own. Following that was his deliberate evasion in meeting his residents.

With their usual perseverance in finishing any challenge thrown their way, the tower quickly rose before them. However, they noticed a crack on the table due to the heavy weight of the coins! As such, Gaby and Will devised a strong support comprised with dumbbells and a pan. But as you've seen on Uber and tonight at primetime, the Kung Fu kids arrived this morning to distract the Big Four. Bianca's sudden addition to the group further caused confusion in the house!

Big Brother was able to get rid of the Kung Fu kids but Bianca is still locked in with the housemates. Is she from the "enemy camp" or is she a "friend" of the Big Four?

Bianca sneaked inside the house in a ninja disguise and threatened to ruin the tower of coins, But just when she was about to lay a finger on the tower, Ruben immediately stopped her. Bianca then took off her mask and revealed herself to the celebrity housemates who were playing with the Kung Fu Kids. Everyone was shocked, though, to see that the PBB host was with them inside the house. Bianca asked the housemates and the kids to join her in the living room where the host interviewed our newly proclaimed Big Four.

In a short chit chat with Bianca, the Celebrity Big Four revealed that they were still sad with Jon's forced eviction last night. Will confessed that he sympathizes with the Fil-British housemate given that they both came from the modeling industry and they grew up abroad. Gaby was also affected by Jon's fate, but at the moment, the Racing Goddess chose to look on the bright side, knowing that the English Outcast was evicted because of a violation and not because the people voted him out. On the other hand, the final four are still discussing the contribution that they have decided to give to this edition's final evictee and has yet to set the final amount so Jon will be able to donate to his chosen charity.

But Big Brother cut the interview short and instructed the Kung Fu Kids to go to the storage room and get his gift for Bianca. When the pretty host opened the box, she felt that Kuya was playing a prank on her by giving her a set of towels, some underwear and a lapel mic. How could Kuya trap her two days before the Big Night? But indeed Kuya's serious and is letting her experience the Big Four atmosphere again. What is Bianca's mission?

In the middle of a slow noon, Riza woke up the other celebrity housemates who were taking a nap in the garden. They were all instructed to get inside the boys' bedroom and wait for further instruction. Apparently, Big Brother had decided to see for himself the coin insignia that the housemates made under the pool. While the housemates were in the room, Kuya will assess if the insignia is good enough for his taste. The housemates, however, were all stunned upon the idea that Kuya will be inside the house, and there will only be a closed door concealing his identity from them.

Unfortunately, the housemates did not see even the shadow of Big Brother, although they got to hear footsteps coming from the living room, and this somehow excited them for a bit. They were all called later into the confession room for further instructions. Afterwards, they came out and found some new coins scattered in the kitchen. They collected the coins and got some plastic chests and buckets where they placed all the coins.

The housemates then headed straight to the pool and started getting all the coins from the insignia under the water. It wasn't clear though if Kuya was satisified with the work, but the housemates instantly worked together to collect all the coins in the water. Jon immediately jumped into the pool and began getting all the coins, but realizing that the water was too cold, he settled to fetch the coins from the side of the pool with the use of the long-handled strainer. Will also helped when the Fil-British got exhausted with the weight of the coins and the handle of the strainer bent out.

After putting all the wet coins on the table, Ruben and Gaby worked together in counting everything. Since they don't have a hair dryer, Gaby just blew on the the coins to dry them all up. It was still unclear if the housemates will have to make a new project out of the coins or if Kuya will hand the coins over to them.

Before Gaby completed the Big Four slate together with Ruben, Riza and Will, Big Brother himself reminded the five celebrity housemates about the fact that PBB is a competition that's comprised with rules that should be observed and respected. And unfortunately, he bestowed a forced eviction on Jon after conferring with Endemol officials. As Big Brother consultant Anuska Ban reiterated, the process of nomination is sacred and no one is allowed to discuss it outside the confession room which Jon violated when he tried to sway the housemates into voting for a five-way tie result.

But more than the English Outcast's fateful exit, now is the time to assess your bets winning personalities!

The multi-talented housemate. Known for her accomplishments on the Asian Formula 3 Circuit, Gaby pursued a stint in PBB to find potential sponsors that will finance her passion of becoming an international racing enthusiast. She further proves herself by winning a competition in Subic without undergoing the usual painstaking rehearsals amidst her stay inside the famed yellow house. Beyond that, she easily warmed up to her fellow housemates and even caught their admiration for her endless capabilities when it comes to Big Brother's various challenges. Many times she had thought about giving up. But her innate strength to continue the fight prevailed every time her weaknesses get to her.

The principled one. In spite of the fact that Riza grew up in a Westernized culture, she unexpectedly acquired such a conservative attitude and perspective in life. Though there were many temptations which lured her to stray from her beliefs, she managed to hold on to this, a trait that set her apart from others. Although her shyness hampered some of her housemates to know her more, with their support, she came out of her shell in due time. In her own quiet way, she was able to fulfill her responsibilities as a housemate without ever stepping on another person's toes. As such, she has been an epitome of beauty, brains and humility throughout her stint in PBB.

The family man. Having a less privileged background did not hinder Ruben from cultivating real friendships among more popular stars in the house. At one point, he recalled how he felt out of place during the first night but eventually got over it for he knows that his fellow housemates accept him for who he is. Despite the luxuries he had experienced as Kuya's resident, he remained grounded in envisioning simple dreams for his family. His housemates proclaim him as their own bet for the Big Win not only because he needs the prize money but because he deserves it after the dedication he showed in finishing even the most pressing trials that were thrown in his way.

The hunk who found a home. Behind his oozing sex appeal and poster model looks, Will hides his fear of letting people in, born out of the traumatic childhood he had because of his stern stepfather. Growing up in a turbulent atmosphere at home made it difficult for him to open up the real him. But in Big Brother's abode, he learned how it is to be loved by his housemates who have become his second family. As such, Kuya is more than just a faceless voice but also a father who taught him so many things. At the same time, he is the kind of friend who doesn't look at one's status in life as he quickly established a strong bond with the Komedyanteng Promdi

The housemates used the same coins all worth Php 20,000 in building a big tower and they must make sure that the tall tower will remain steady for the next 24 hours. Our five housemates then must go on a shifting schedule to guard the tower. After checking the steadiness of their chosen table, the HMs bgan stacking the coins in the garden. Gaby thought of building the coins on top of a bowl of sand so the tower will be standing on a solid foundation. Everyone was worried, though, that the tower is really bound to fall as they stack more coins over one another since the coins are not only heavy but also slippery.

This task may be a big challenge, but our five remaining housemates are determined to stick together until the end. However, the way they value their friendship was also the one that placed them all in deep trouble. The big mystery now is the punishment that awaits our housemates after they decided to boycott the nomination last Saturday. Will Jon still have the chance to land in the Big Four given his violation of 'nomination conspiracy'?

Big Brother was disappointed with his residents for they have failed to pass the test of "pagpapakatotoo" when he asked them last Saturday night who does not deserve among them to be in the Celebrity Big Four. As such, he asked them to review the Rule Book to remind them of what will happen when they refuse to follow the nomination process. But instead of learning from their error, they still conspired for a five-way-tie result when they were asked to nominate for the second time something which Jon instigated by influencing them with his statement: "Is everyone thinking what I'm thinking? Five medallions are here. And we're five here." This caused Big Brother's further silent treatment on them.

Then at last, Big Brother called Jon yesterday afternoon to question him about what he said. The gorgeous hunk explained how he didn't mean any disrespect to Kuya and he simply wanted the Celebrity Big Five to stick together. He didn't concur with Big Brother's query that he perpetuated it to protect himself. However, the latter still warned him that he violated a serious decree which prohibits any housemate to influence or sway their voting decisions during nominations. Jon was truly sorry and took full responsibility towards his actions. Nevertheless, he reiterated that Riza's is still his choice to become evicted since a lot of opportunities await her anyway.

Will came next in the hotseat where he felt terrible about joking around just to get laughs when the situation called for a serious reflection. But like Jon, his stand about picking Gaby to be listed for nomination remains the same for she had been in the outside world already. Riza also answered similarly about opting for Jon because he has a booming career to look forward to. Naturally, she refused to vote for Will since she's a lot closer to him.

On the other hand, Ruben and Gaby admitted that they intended to get equal votes for nomination to save the Celebrity Big Five. The comedian from Davao explained that as much as possible he didn't like to put anyone at risk. But if he did the right thing, he would have picked Riza instead of Will which was really questionable in the first place because they're the best of friends. On Gaby's part, she revealed that she was also thinking of what Jon voiced out then. And that she nominated her own bet for the Big Win for the same reason that Ruben presented. Though in truth, she would have voted Riza out for the latter failed to change her introvert ways.

After hearing their explanations, Big Brother eventually forgave their mistakes and allowed them to welcome the New Year with a bang. But as PBB Host Toni Gonzaga noted, Big Brother would still make Jon pay the price of his violation. As to the consequence of it, Kuya consulted with Endemol for the proper action be bestowed on Jon. Will his grave error lead to another forced eviction tomorrow night?

Several days after Baron was forced evicted fromPBB, he gives his first interview today in Uber! And like most of us have set to do this new year, he also found his own resolution which involves embarking on a renewal program with the help of the show's very own resident psychiatrist Doc Randy. The actor says that he's willing to start afresh for the sake of his career. He still regrets the way he messed up his chance before but he remains optimistic that this is just another beginning for him.

More than his realizations, being able to hear Big Brother's voice again today certainly make things right for him. When he left last Thursday afternoon, he wasn't sure if the master of the famed yellow house had forgiven him for his transgressions. But now, Kuya patches up with his wild resident, explaining that he had forgiven him even before he made his exit. Still, the former reminds him to be strong enough to fight the temptations in the outside world. Laughing, Baron reiterates that he had been a good boy so far. He even quips that perhaps he will build a device on his phone that will instantly connect him to Kuya for him to be guided properly. Indeed, Big Brother loves him so much that he even honors his former boarder with a short video clip of his stint inside his abode since he didn't undergo the normal eviction night. As such, Baron seriously notes how grateful he is for the inspiring support and motivation that Big Brother has always extended him.

Meanwhile, Bianca also gives us a glimpse of the housemates current task which involves the making of a coin insignia that represents them as a whole. As it happens, Kuya provided them earlier with a P20,000 worth of coins that they counted this afternoon. After that, they start to form the symbol that they have chosen underneath the pool reminiscent of the Underwater Charades which they have played before also here in Uber. Can Gaby, Will, Riza, Ruben and Jon accomplish this feat yet again? And what exact design did they actually come up with?

After 365 days, it has now come to this. It's the last day of the year, and it is just inevitable for anyone to look back on the year that had flown by like a breeze. Such mood is what had exactly enveloped the Pinoy Big Brother house as the last remaining housemates await the changing of the year with so much uncertainties. Ruben, Gaby, Jon, Riza, and Will could not help but to think of many things few hours before New Year's Eve. First on their list is their seemingly cold relationship with Big Brother that might have been wedged by their decision to boycott Kuya's order last Saturday night to vote who they think should not make it to the Big Four. What could be the repercussions of their actions and how will this change the things to expect in this Saturday's Big Night?

Also, our five celebrity housemates were also uncertain on what to do tonight as they welcome 2008. It seemed that being as excited and happy as they were during Christmas was quite a challenge for the remaining housemates since there are only five of them left inside the house, given the untimely exit of houseguests Mariel and Ethel. The two funny girls have indeed left a void inside the house, the one that puts life and color into every celebration. This may be yet another task of Kuya, for our housemates to face the 12th and final week of the season on their own. Will we expect beautiful fireworks and happy noises this midnight, or will our housemates end in tears in the change of the year?

During lunch, Ruben, Gaby, Jon, Riza, and Will all looked back on their favorite moments inside the famous yellow house. All those fun afternoon games, the competitive Head of Household face-offs, the ups and downs in the weekly tasks, the violations and punishements, nominations, and evictions. The past couple of months and more was indeed a rollercoaster of emotions for all the housemates. Friendships were forged, bonds were broken, and faces have come and gone. In the end, only five outstanding housemates survived it all to see the last week of the season.

Only six days to go before the much anticipated Big Night. Who among Ruben, Gaby, Jon, Riza, and Will will rise to take home the pride of being the Celebrity Big Winner.

Wedding songs started playing as soon as the housemates were up the day of Ruben's wedding. "This is the day," Ruben kept on saying. Soon, he was called into the secret room to dress up. The other housemates meanwhile were called into the confession room and were also told to get ready to leave for the wedding. Kuya informed Will that he was to serve as Ruben's best man while Ethel will be Jeselle's maid of honor.

Ruben was already teary eyed upon seeing Jeselle walking down the aisle in the arms of her parents. He was happily surprised too when he saw his fellow housemates joining his entourage. With the blessing of the Church finally bestowed on their union, Ruben, his bride and their families proceeded to the big yellow house for the reception. The housemates cheerily welcomed everyone and soon they were all sharing in a sumptuous feast.

Ruben and Jeselle's family gave messages of encouragement and were followed by the housemates' congratulatory remarks. Ethel had something special in her tube though for the newly weds. Before everyone left for the wedding, the comedienne asked Big Brother if she could give Ruben a wedding gift of two honeymoon tickets to Hong Kong. Of course, Kuya gave Ethel the permission and as she presented her gift, Ruben was utterly taken aback by her kind gesture. Again, Ruben was in tears while thanking Ethel for giving him the support he needed inside the house. The serious moment was interrupted though when his son suddenly asked for his attention. "Nagmomoment ako anak..." Ruben quipped, causing everyone to laugh.

The time for the guests to leave arrived and the housemates had to face another live event, totally not expecting Kuya's first barage of challenges. The five HMs remained stubborn and refused to give in to the first test of naming the person who doesn't deserve to be part of the Big Four. They remained hard headed to the point of scattering the medallions on the floor and pretending to stomp on them. Will even joked and said 'Kuya you wear this!'. The housemates were rash in their actions and the consequence of this greeted them early this morning. The video of the incident played on the plasma screen which bothered everyone greatly. And what's worse, Kuya's not speaking to them at all.

We've seen Kuya go silent on his HMs in the previous editions. Is this another one of Kuya's tests? Or is the owner of the house simply mad at his boarders? Could a Big Five be possible?

Day after the grueling night of challenges for the finalists of Celebrity Big Four, they still managed to wake up early without the novena mass to think of. They quietly took their breakfast and proceeded to become a little productive by doing some light chores. Then the signal was given for shopping time. Since there are only five of them now, they merely had P5,000 as their budget for this week. Nevertheless, it was still enough to buy luxuries like Ruben and Jon's stash of cigarettes. Gab, Ruben, Will and Jon picked their groceries for the coming New Year celebration. But after the parties and festive meals they had last week, they decided to detoxify by splurging more on fruits. Besides they still have lots of frozen foods left for the days ahead.

What worries them though is that Big Brother refuses to talk to them. They noted how he gave his instructions only through the plasma screen. As such, they wondered if Big Brother is disappointed at them for failing to pass his most unnerving question last night. Even when they were in the storage room, he merely sounded the doorbell to indicate that the time limit for shopping was finished. As they wondered what activities are lined up for today, the housemates concluded that he will not deal with them as much as usual.

So with nothing left to do at the moment, they opted to continue their rest and relaxation. Settling in the garden lounge like Gaby did was a bit uncomfortable for Riza who chose the living room for her nap. Will eventually followed her and cuddled contentedly on the sofa. On the other hand, Jon seemed to be adjusting well into going solo but without Mariel he said that he's not really in the mood to go wild on New Year's eve. Nevertheless, the remaining contenders are optimistic towards the good and bad things that will come. But can they really stand the various tests that await them starting today?

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.
