Toni's presence inside the house was certainly refreshing for everyone. Even if her stay was a brief one, she succeeded in touching the hearts of the housemates with her funny stories as well as her preaching moments.Tonight, they were just having dinner as if nothing momentous was about to happen. What seemed so important was the fact that Big Brother allowed them to eat together in an easier way.

Later however, they were suddenly told to lock themselves up inside the boys bedroom until further instructions. For the last time, the selected housemates rehearsed a surprise number for Toni's mom since the latter is celebrating her birthday today. It was an original composition of Mcoy which was performed by Victor and Riza. In between verses, Yayo read heartfelt words of gratitude to a loving mother.

Big Brother gave them the impression that the whole thing would simply be recorded. But even as they practiced, Toni was already on the confession room, preparing for her unexpected departure! Soon after this, the housemates cautiously gathered on the living room, waiting for another impromptu task from Kuya. Much to their shock however, Toni, in her black dress, gave her farewell message to them!

As she recited her moving poem that reflected her appreciation for the housemates individualities, they weren't able to resist the urge to cry. For in truth, she has become a certified housemate to them. It was obvious on how she tightly hugged each of the girls while she whispered words of courage at a time where they are all fighting exhaustion not only from the various challenges but also their personal worries.

To fetch her on the spot was Mrs. Crisanta Gonzaga who heard the housemates special number for her in the flesh! Afterwhich, Toni tearfully thanked her mom for raising her as she is now. But the touching picture they made quickly passed to the moment of her goodbye. She will certainly be missed not only by them but also the viewers loved to see her longer inside the big yellow house.

If there's one thing that can make Gaby dela Merced glow with happiness, it is being back to the racing world where she's most comfortable at and where she surely knows what to do even with eyes closed. But after four months without practice, Chief Engineer-slash-Engine Turner Dominique Cuesta advised her to at least do a once-over for her to familiarize herself with the new track lay out.

Her position for the race was then determined through the qualifying time where she came fourth, a good feat considering her lack of practice, said Mr. Cuesta. As soon as the adrenaline-pumping chase began, the Racing Godess talent became evident as she easily drove her laps. She was definitely in control until she encountered an engine trouble as well as a battery problem!

Fortunately, the crew pulled out all stops just to make things possible for Gaby. Defeat was out of the question since she was aware of her great chance of winning. If the car refused to work, it would be totally frustrating, she relayed to Big Brother. And true to her word, she won first place despite being pitted against 2005 Philippine Touring Car Class Champ Dennis Uy and 2004 Driver of the Year Luis Ramirez. As the latter noted, gender is not an issue in this male-dominated arena.

Soon, Gaby returned to Big Brother's abode, tight-lipped about her spectacular experience in Subic International Raceway.

That same night, the primetime stretch also made way for celebrity house guest#2 Toni Gonzaga! Reminiscent of Mariel's sudden entry before, she was shocked with the reality of what's happening as soon as she saw her personalized set of toiletries! The mainstay host of PBB knew that she would have the same fate as her friend but not at this point. Holding her emotions in check though became impossible when she finally had the chance to talk to her mom on the phone for one minute.

Funnily enough, her concern towards her work remained utmost in her mind aside from her mother's upcoming birthday. Still panic-stricken, she chattered how the housemates may find her strict because of her role as a host including her ongoing diet just for the show, unsuspecting that this is all it will come to. Eventually, she gained her courage to face the housemates and even enjoyed a slumber party in honor of her addition to the household.

Apart from these happenings, more questions rise as to what made BB's Spy cry? And who's the sender of the letter which Toni passed to her? Is it really from Big Brother telling her that she'd be gone from his home within the week? Or is it from her special friend Zandjoe Marudo like most viewers think?

As always, Big Brother has kept the housemates on their feet with surprises. Zara has received flowers from her special someone while Megan had her tabby cat Sugar for a house visit. Gaby had to leave the house too for a while to attend a racing event in Subic but had to get back within 24 hours. But nothing could have shocked the housemates more than 4 nominees and a brand new celebrity houseguest.

HOH Ethel Booba had first dibs on picking her nominee for tonight. The Ultimate Pasaway chose Megan, basing her vote on the events of previous week. She also noted that she'd rather have Jen back than the Princess of Charm. But even without Ethel's automatic nomination, Megan gathered the third highest point for tonight. The others felt that she's no acting genuinely and is still clueless on what her goal is inside Kuya's house. Can Megan stand another week inside the house? When will she be good enough for the other housemates?

Zara is second on the nomination block for the housemates felt that she's too much of a cry baby and brings everyone's mood with her every time she does so. Others feel alienated and uncomfortable too in her presence plus they also feel she lacks in "kusang loob" during tasks and chores. Will Zara be able to bounce back and redeem herself this week? Or will she wallow once more in her sadness and tears?

Highest pointer on the nomination block with 10 votes is Baron. With his House Boy task this week, Baron revealed his real attitude towards chores which irked most of his housemates. Baron was also a little too brash on his comments, careless in giving out opinions and even offended some of the other celebrities. Will even called him bastos and inconsiderate. They have now discovered that the Geisler brothers are on the extremes Donnie is the gentleman while Baron definitely lives up to his moniker, the Wild Child. Will the two in one housemates survive this week or will they meet the unfortunate fate of the 26K ladies too?

A mystery box in the living room revealed 2 medallions for the first two nominees. However, Toni brought in from the confession room two more medallions for Baron and Donnie to wear. The tense atmosphere inside the house didn't even give room for Toni to make "chika" with her fellow host and now houseguest Mariel Rodriguez. But it turns out that Kuya has another trick up his sleeve and is giving time for the two to bond! Toni gets presented a box similar to Mariel's when she first entered the house. Almost on the verge of tears, Toni opened the box that contained her lapel mic, a robe and a "secret phone", Kuya's gift to his second celebrity housemate. What will Toni do now that she's inside the house? Will she adjust as well as Mariel did?

Day 3 has certainly been thrilling with Jon Avila and Ethel Booba as latest additions in the house plus a bonus celebrity guest who's no less than the Uber co-host Mariel Rodriguez! And to mark this extraordinary event, Big Brother treats his residents with a brief sing-along party!

Just when everyone thought that Toni Gonzaga would also be stuck inside like her friend, Big Brother allowed her to come out again to face her waiting audience. It might have been priceless to have her with them but her pressing commitments would be on her way. But maybe she will eventually change places with Mariel. Well, we never know with Kuya.

On the activity area, a greater surprise lies in waiting for this edition's thirteenth housemate is about to face them! They had anticipated the ample food, but not Ethel Booba who arrives in style while belting a popular tune! Among them, only Mariel expected her to be there since tinseltown has been abuzz with her indecisive PBB stint for several days now. Thereafter, Ethel and Ruben take centerstage as their hosts.

The Desirable Diva begins the impromptu program by showing off her strong but sexy voice! Indeed, Riza manages to croon a performance-level-number even if it's only an acapella! Megan comes next but she ends up crooning several songs without finishing them since she doesn't completely know the lyrics. The Real Mcoy would have serenaded Ethel with a song. However, he quips that he is distracted by Ethel's beauty in person!

After a while, Kuya informs the hosts that they can now mingle with the others and enjoy the remaining minutes of their merriment. At that time, Jen insists for a sample of Ethel's signature way of speech onscreen but the latter begs off, stating that she merely wants some time to adjust herself. With that, Kuya asks them to go back inside the house where they can continue their little chats.
