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?

Even before Baron was called in the confession room for his ultimate punishment, he already saw it coming, hence his miserable mood in contrast to the overwhelming kilig moments between the celebrity couples. In fact, he can barely smile through their calendar photo shoot. Finally, Big Brother talked to him in private, explaining the violations he made including his arrogance in smoking inside the house without permission, his threat to hurt Will and the vulgar words which he uttered towards Big Brother.

As soon as his fellow housemates learned about his hasty forced eviction, they took a break from their weekly task to help Baron overcome any bad feelings. But the pasaway actor didn't shed any tear for he knew that he deserved to be kicked out. Seeing the sadness in their eyes, he told them not to be sad for his lost chance to be in the Big Four since the other contenders deserve to be in it than him. Moreover, he thanked them for being supportive of him despite his faults. He insisted that at the end of it all, their bond would remain till after their PBB stint.

Just before he went out, Donnie came in to pick him up. He even stayed for a while for more picture-takings. However, the housemates later noted that for sure, their ex-housemate was disappointed with Baron for failing him in this one. As such, Jon led a prayer for Baron to be guided in the right direction towards the fulfillment of his dreams.

But aside from the recap of Baron's tearful exit, we also had a glimpse of Ruben's marriage proposal to Jessele. A video of which were shown to the housemates last Christmas, marking the continuation of Angel Locsin's special task last month. Following that was Jon and Will's secret mission to list their suggestions for Ruben's stag party which turned out to be a successful feat.

Baron lost himself to booze two weeks after he promised never to drink alcohol as long as he's in Kuya's abode. And this time, his fellow housemates were helpless to stop him from making a fool of himself. Spurred by his drunken state, he confronted Big Brother about feeling unloved by everyone in his household. Unfortunately for him, he didn't took the chance to calm down when Big Brother advised that he should simply sleep through his depression for whatever reason he has. Outside, the boys grew concerned especially Will who noticed that Baron's already disgracing himself in front of everyone. In a cool manner, he tried to sweet talk him to end his outrageous behavior. But Baron was beyond comprehension by then for he even threatened to hurt Will. Big Brother interceded though as he called the pasaway actor back to the confession room. This time, Baron heatedly opposed being locked in the secret room for he didn't want to miss an opportunity to be merry with the other housemates. His next statements were more damaging though for he kept on cursing Big Brother and his boarders including Mariel.

Big Brother merely waited until after Christmas day to bestow his ultimate punishment to Baron. But with the resident psychiatrist's recommendation, he first required Baron to undergo a group therapy with the rest of the housemates after showing them the video of his drunken behavior in the confession room. Clearly, everyone was shocked with his destructive words. Mariel was so hurt because she had been so tolerant and caring of him yet he still doubted her attitude towards him. On the other hand, Gaby was really pissed as she walked out in the middle of their discussion. The latter couldn't believe that Baron still harbored a grudge against her despite the talk they've had after a previous misunderstanding. As it happens, Baron cited it as one of the reasons why he felt miserable and left out that fateful night.

Now that he's clear-headed though, he merely repeated the regrets he had uttered before. What he failed to remember is the fact that the housemates have been supported of him ever since. After all that happened, they even comforted him while making him realize his faults. Sadly, Big Brother's patience ran out for he officially castigated him with a forced eviction, which Baron readily accepted. He knew that his actions called for it so he merely asked for Big Brother's forgiveness. He explained that the vulgar words he uttered were meant for himself for the personal issues that he's having a hard time to solve. But all Kuya was prepared to give him is a reminder that greater temptation awaits in the outside world. Hence, he hoped that Baron would find the courage to change not only for himself but for the sake of his family and the people who love him.

Who will follow him next for the upcoming eviction this Saturday night? The much-awaited Celebrity Big Four will soon take their rightful place.

Baking a carrot walnut cake proved to be a long and tedious task which required strong hands for kneading the fondant dough and a quick mind to remember all the steps and ingredients to make a "perfect creation" for Ruben's wedding day. Everyone was engrossed with the activity and more so when they finally decorated it with fondant flower icings for the finishing touches. The next hours were restful though as they leisurely spent their free time chatting in small groups or playing chess. But by midnight, Mariel asked Ethel to fix herself for she felt that something's up. True enough, Big Brother gathered them in the living room to show a video of Baron's drunken behavior the other night.

As seen on PBB Primetime, Baron defied Big Brother's order not to drink booze since his last wild display of himself, which a lot of viewers frowned upon. At first, he was drunk in a good way for he was praising the good deeds of Jon, Will and Riza in the garden. Things went out of control though when he started to give Mariel the creeps with his long, hard stares and the events that followed. He claimed that he wanted to sleep by the pool and even asked Mariel to join him. Then he was also seen eating spaghetti in a messy manner. Will tried to stop his foolishness but he backed off to dissuade a fight between them.

After the viewing tonight, Ethel explained to Baron that he alone can solve his drinking problem. "I feel bad na hindi kita na-monitor. Pareho tayo ng problema. Babaeng version mo lang ako." It was only through her sheer will and support of her trusted friend did she manage to reduce her addiction to booze, the sexy comedienne shared. She further revealed that she even has a stash of alcohol in the girls bedroom. But then she didn't dare down it all for her own sake. Baron is showing signs of regret but does he really mean it this time? Will Big Brother forgive him easily after he disobeyed his rule despite his warnings? What punishment awaits the rebellious actor?

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.

Yayo's back inside the house after burying her mother's remains this morning. The actress confessed that she wants to continue her stay as an official housemate because the circumstances of her exit was totally unexpected. "Malayo na ang narating ko...Di ko naman ginusto na mamatay si Mama...Malakas ang pakiramdam ko na may gusto siya na tapusin ako." Yayo also declined the housemates's donation of P400,000 although she appreciates their gesture. For her accepting the money means she has really ended her stay in Kuya's house. Yayo though received a cheque worth P57, 194.00, a donation from ABS-CBN Interactive. The money is from ABS-CBN's 20% share of the votes in the last nomination process in which Yayo was part of. Each P2.50/vote is divided between the telecommunications companies (70%), Endemol, ABS-CBN and ABS-CBN Interactive (30%).

The housemates's were also informed of Yayo's intention to continue her stay. Everyone was pleased but went into shock when they learned of the conditions Endemol is giving them to allow the mommy of the house to return. Since the Big Night is just two weeks away, a housemate can't simply go back or enter the house. One of the six official housemates has to giveway and relenquish his or her spot to Yayo. Baron and Jon shared that it would be to everyone's benefit if Yayo doesn't return. Some of them now have a shot to be part of the Big Four plus Yayo would definitely get the P400,000 from the winners. Baron added that Yayo would not want to agree to this conditions too. Big Brother only answered him with "Marami kayong hindi alam."

Gaby then talks to Kuya and volunteers to be switched with Yayo. She later tells the other HMs of her decision which was received with mixed emotions. Her decision stemmed from Big Brother's talk before and asked them what they could do for Yayo. "I honestly didn't want to go, but the more I talked about it, the more I felt it, the more I wanted to stand by it. I just hope I could Christmas here though." Gaby said to Kuya. Big Brother admits that this was very brave of Gaby but the decision is not really in his hands. "Ang huling desisyon ay wala sa kamay natin, ang taong bayan ang magdedesisyon kung sino ang tuloy ang laban." He also states that whoever loses in the voting will receive the P400,000 the housemates have donated to Yayo.

Yayo, who's staying in the secret room, was just informed that a housemate had volunteered to exchange places with her. Gaby's identity was not revealed to her and Kuya told her that she will know 'sa takdang panahon'.

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.

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.

Last night, Jon, Riza, Will, Baron, and Ruben were called into the confession room. There, Kuya reminded them about the strict house rule that prohibits any form of drawing or writing. Apparently, these five housemates got carried away by their weekly task of designing their giant Christmas lantern. With the papers, pencils, and coloring materials, Jon, Riza, Will, Baron, and Ruben made some scribbles which were not related to the task. Since Kuya does not tolerate any violation inside his house, he warned the five that a punishment was being "drawn" for them.

Then this morning, the five were given small brushes, make-up and face paints and were instructed that their faces will be their canvases. Apart from expressing their creativity, this punishment will also serve as a lesson since every time they will catch a glimpse of themselves in the mirror, they will be reminded of the major house rule that they all violated.

After getting all the materials, the five started painting their faces. Ruben enjoyed painting his face, for his design compliments his new shaved look. On the other hand, the True Lover ended up looking like a member of the band KISS with all the dark colorings on his face. Meanwhile, Baron and Riza decided to put on a scary look like it's Halloween, and Jon settled for a black and red face.

As per Big Brother's instruction, Jon, Riza, Will, Baron, and Ruben must each maintain their make-up until the time Kuya lifts the punishment. This means that once they notice that their make up is wearing off, they must immediately retouch their face paints. But the bigger question the five violators have at the moment is when will their punishment end and what's else does Kuya have in mind for them?

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.

Despite our celebrity housemates having no contact with the outside world, this is no reason for Big Brother not to bring in the Christmas spirit inside his house. As if the big Christmas tree and the inspiring Christmas songs inside the house were not enough, it's time to bring in the great PBB Christmas lantern. For this week, the housemates will make their own giant Christmas lantern complete with different colored lights similar to the famous lanterns of Pampanga.

The big challenge in this task is for them to create an eight feet-sized lantern that has numerous blinking electrical lights of various colors. The housemates only have a week to put together this big lantern, and it would be tough for them to hastily familiarize themselves with all the tricky electrical circuitry. However, having survived one weekly task after the other, the housemates were no longer strangers to difficulties and failures. For this week, they agreed to bet 100% of their budget, but nevertheless, everyone kept a positive attitude that they will be able to win this task.

If the housemates will win this task, their PBB Celebrity Edition 2 giant lantern will land a special spot in the annual lantern parade in Pampanga wherein lots of people will get to see the product of their hard labor. After Baron announced the initial instructions of their weekly task, the housemates awaited for Big Sister to provide them with the materials. Then, an instructional video was shown over the plasma monitor in the living room which the housemates closely watched. Will our celebrity housemates make the best lantern, something good enough to surprise Big Brother on his return?

Mommy Yayo placed the housemates in a predicament when she broke a bowl just after they won her allowance but Big Bro their anime-dubbing weekly task. She volunteered to have it taken out ofther would hear none of it. He later called in Head of Household Jon and told him that he's willing to keep their budget intact if he can take something out of their grocery list. Since the cigarettes were the only non-edible item on the list, it made sense that the item should be the one taken off it. When Jon brought up the subject to the other HMs, Yayo vehemently told them that she'd rather take on Big Brother's punishment than have them involved with the incident. Baron, who the housemates felt will be greatly affected by this, just shrugged his shoulders and said he'd be OK with whatever they decide on. Yayo, however insisted with her plea so Jon gave in with her decision. "Mas mahalaga ang yosi sa inyo?" was Kuya's incredilous answer when Jon told him what they wanted. The big man of the house ultimately let Jon make the final decision and the HOH agreed that the practical thing to do was get rid of the yosi.

Baron though was pretty pissed the following day for being the last person to know about the news. During their "palengke day," with no cigarettes in sight, the others immediately noticed the Wild Child's foul mood. Big Brother then called Baron into the confession room. "Alam ko naman pwede ipagpalit ang tao sa sigarilyo..." Baron said, beginning his arguement with Big Brother. He pointed out that he really felt bad about not being consulted on the matter when he was the main person concerned. But eventually Baron understood that Big Brother only meant well and had no intention of hurting his feelings. "Iniisip ko lang ang sarili ko." he finally said.

Ruben, on the other hand, is finally ready to make his proposal to partner Jeselle. Big Brother let Ruben make a phone call to Jeselle so he could say his piece. But instead of joyfully answering Ruben's proposal of marriage, Jeselle felt that he's just being pressured inside the house, with Angel Locsin's task and everything about their relationship being televised and all. The Komedyanteng Promdi explained that he has thought it over and believes this is the right time for them to do it. Still, Jeselle told him to think it over. Kuya then told Ruben that maybe Jeselle will see his sincerity if he does the proposal again once he's outside the house.

Meanwhile, Kuya's special house guest and soon-to-be Big Sister Mariel is giddily awaiting the moment she will be reunited with the other housemates. Stuck in the secret room and accompanied by Buttons the Bear, Mariel has started reviewing Kuya's guidelines to being a Big Sister. If Ma succeeds in her task, she will be giving an orphanage a very merry Christmas party. Will Mariel be a good decision maker or will she leave Kuya's house in shambles?

The other celebrity housemates watched in amazement as two of their friends fought each other in the ring. The friendly boxing match was apparently Big Brother's answer to Jon's long-time request of having someone to spar with. Being a boxing enthusiast, Jon was given this privilege since he is this week's Head of Household. Baron also confessed the same liking for the sport making them perfect rivals. But to ensure that the match will remain safe and friendly, Kuya hired a professional referee and judge to facilitate the square off. The match was composed of three rounds, each lasting three minutes.

To start off, master of ceremonies Ruben called in the first round, and Riza stepped inside the ring, serving as the eyecandy round girl. Baron and Jon took their respective positions, both eager to give their best punch. After three minutes, however, the Wild Child advanced with four points compared to Jon who only had two. Then in the second round, the Fil-German released more punches to defeat the Fil-British who had the height advantage. Baron earned five points in the second round, while Jon only had two. In spite of Baron's surprising advantage, Big Brother still called in a third round, but to no avail, the Wild Child was still declared as the winner. Jon, however, proved to be a true gentleman and accepted his defeat.

It was not Jon but Gaby who won the Memory Game yesterday. But aside from sharpening their skill in remembering things, Big Brother took the cue from Ruben's curiosity why Janno Gibbs was included in the set of giant photos of themselves, their loved ones and some ex-housemates. Gladys was sick so she wasn't in attendance during the contest. Hence, the Komedyanteng Promdi asked her about it. But Gladys refused to add anything to Yayo's statement that the singer-actor was once linked to her.

Later on, Big Brother enabled his residents to learn more about each other through the pictures in the giant deck of cards. First, he asked them to pick the ones who are closest to their hearts. Next were the hilarious baby pictures of Ethel Booba, Toni Gonzaga and Mariel Rodriguez whom they didn't recognize at all. Lastly, they selected some photos of celebrities, who seemingly don't have any connection with them. Why were there snapshots of Gwen Garci and Derek Ramsay in the lot? Obviously, Big Brother anticipated their interest on this. Baron immediately volunteered the information about Will's former relationship with the Viva Hotbabe. However, the True Lover denied it, saying that he merely dated her a few times. This resulted to much heckling towards him and Riza.

What's most surprising to them though was Derek Ramsay's connection with the Racing Goddess. Will, who was holding the said actor's picture, thought that the link was Mariel's attraction towards the sexy chef from Ysabella. No one had a clue about the truth so Big Brother had to nudge Gaby about it. But all she said was good friends. Naturally, her "showbiz response" only made them conclude that Derek may be a former flame of hers! All these teasing may be amusing but on the offset, the Racing Goddess had to face punishment after she jumped in the pool to save Porkchop last Monday, wetting her lapel mic in the process. Apparently, this is the reason why she and Donnie are sharing the latter's lapel mic these days.

For the past three days, the celebrity housemates learned the value of respect towards one another amidst the pressures inside the famous yellow house. First up was the wheelchair basketball match where they won against the Philippine National Team of The Disabled last Sunday. The latter removed all doubt in our minds that they gave way for the sake of the opponents budget this week. Another issue was raised though pertaining to the fact that Gaby was able to join the line-up during the last 2 minutes of the rematch. Her gender has always been a problem in the world of competitive sports and she hoped that equality would prevail next time.

Meanwhile, yesterday's HOH game caused a clash between Baron and Jon. To win the crown, they simply have to survive the seven mini-tasks that were bestowed upon them while they road a boat in the pool. The misunderstanding occurred during the fifth round. The English Outcast thought that Baron clued his brother in regarding the least disgusting drink for him to choose. It annoyed Jon who was determined to become an HOH before he becomes evicted at the end of the week. But as soon as he realized his mistake, she quickly apologized to the Wild Child who was totally pissed with his reactions.

As it happens, Donnie and Jon were the last men standing. But even though Jon had the advantage during the seventh mini-task, Big Brother left the final decision in the hands of the housemates. They have to choose between the two who's the most deserving housemate for the HOH position. The votes were secretly made in the confession room and the highest tallybelonged to Jon since he hasn't experienced it yet. When Big Brother announced the result, Jon showed how sorry he was to Baron by asking him to be his partner during his privileged week! The Wild Child was ecstatic about it, insisting that it was a selfless move on Jon's part because they were able to fix their rift already before the good news was made.

It was certainly a relief that both men were able to patch things up before the situation gre more complicated. Good thing Jon was humble enough to admit his blunder and calm enough in handling the whole ordeal. But a third fight took place not long after this. But this time, it was between Gladys and Will! Why did the Reyna ng Patawa feel disrespected? Did the True Lover make a bad call? Or was it another misunderstanding?

Day 51 was pay-back time for Jon and Will who repeatedly disobeyed Big Brother's rule about speaking in Tagalog or Taglish at all times. As such, Baron, Gaby and Gladys were asked to think of an appropriate punishment for the English-speaking dudes last Sunday. In the garden, the trio had decided to require them to create a poem using ten specified Tagalog words. It was definitely a challenging task because every misuse of which will result to a harder penalty eating sliced ampalayas (bitter fruit)and carrying heavy encyclopedias on their palms!

As soon as the difficult consequence began, Will grew more frustrated in grasping the right terms and building coherent sentences. But he attempted to humor himself even in the midst of his struggle. However, Gladys took his quips in a bad light as he accused him of playing around. Offended, the True Lover explained that he was just trying to make things easier for him since the ordeal that they went through was wearisome as it was. And the heated argument further rose up.

Apparently, the Queen of Patawa felt disrespected because of the way Will answered her back. In her thinking, she did not deserve such treatment since it was not her idea to make them suffer anyway. It just happened that she was assigned to oversee the whole thing, hence he should bring his complaints to Big Brother and not to her, she maintained. Moreover, she thought that Will refused to follow her as sheâ's only a newbie.

On the other hand, the True Lover was merely attempting to justify his actions to her since she mistakenly thought that he's not taking the poetry test seriously. Unfortunately, he was not getting through to her. This obviously bothered him as he looked ready to burst his emotions anytime during the tension-filled incident. He was at a loss as to how he could clearly communicate what he wanted to say. Good thing Yayo and Ruben were there to lend their support and faith in him. They also reasoned out that perhaps, Gladys was so conscious of being stern and all since she's fairly new and doesn't want to commit a mistake.

When their anger subsided, the celebrity housemates helped the two thresh things out. The True Lover apologized for his actions while the Queen of Patawa reiterated that she simply did her job and it was nothing personal. And for her final words, “From now on isaksak natin sa mga ulo natin bakit tayo asa bahay ni kuya. We're here for a competion.

Today was no easy nomination day like the other Sundays that came before it. Six housemates were on the line for nomination Will, Riza, Yayo, Ruben, Donnie and Jon. Gaby and Gladys were exempted, even from voting, for they have just joined the housemates this week. Baron, on the other hand, had immunity and a right to nominate a housemate because of his HOH status.

Jon went on the housemates nomination radar first and foremost for they all knew he has unfinished business with celebrity houseguest and PBB host Mariel Rodriguez and would be better off solving this in the outside world with her. Donnie followed suit because some felt one Geisler is enough inside the yellow house. Will was an "untouchable" for 7 weeks and HOH Baron felt that it's about time the model felt how it is to be nominated. Deemed as one of the strongest HMs, Baron placed will on the nomination block automatically.

Host Toni Gonzaga gave the nominees a chance to make their "bargaining pleas" to the viewers. Jon feels that he is still learning something new everyday and also thinks of his chosen charity as reason enough to stay inside the house. Donnie said that he has still a lot to learn from Kuya and his housemates. Will explained lastly that he wants to experience the true Filipino Christmas, with his new family and friends, the housemates.

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

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

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

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

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