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.

While most of the celebrity housemates wished for uber expensive Christmas presents like an HDTV for Gaby, a posh sound system for Mariel, laptops for Baron, Jon and Will or a piano for Riza, Ruben asked for his mom, granny and aunt to be reunited after their last meeting in the 70's. He almost felt envious yesterday when Ethel finally received her SLR digital camera but the long wait was truly worth it once he saw his loved ones on Christmas Eve.

Unbeknownst to him, the trio was already here in Manila even the night before that. His mom Mrs. Judith Gonzaga (accompanied by his partner Jessele Cabal) came all the way from Davao, his lola Mrs. Florencia Pugay from Cebu and his aunt Judith Famarin from Batangas. They stayed in different hotels and were even sent some home-cooked Pinoy meals for their noche buena courtesy of Ruben's culinary expertise.

Ruben described his tear-jerking experience, "Hindi yung materyal na bagay ang nagpapasaya minsan sa buhay ng tao. Yun din pong totoong regalo na galing sa puso mo na binigay mo sa ibang tao lalo na sa mahal mo sa buhay."

Prior to that though, they were treated to a 100-second celebrity homecoming of their ex-housemates, who brought various goodies for them. Whatever misunderstandings they had before didn't matter anymore as they warmly hugged the people who have become second family to them. First off was Zara, followed by Mcoy, Megan, Donnie, Marylaine, Jen and Victor. The bubbly ex-26K Girl didn't even missed a chance to land Will a smack on the lips! On the other hand, Gaby's secret crush sadly noted that he couldn't watch them on TV for it still hurts him not to be with them.

Christmastime was such a perfect affair for our housemates except that Baron made a spectacle of himself for the second time! Against Big Brother's instructions, he still indulged on too many booze to the point that his housemates grew worried once more towards his wild behavior. Had he acted unforgivably this time? What will be his punishment for violating his penalty not to drink alcohol until the end of the program?

A week outside the yellow house left Mariel longing for her fellow housemates, who had a very fun week with their anime and good will tasks. This evening, Kuya asked Mariel if she wanted to go back and stay with the HMs and the pretty host said yes. With Big Brother off to an official business next week, he puts Mariel in-charge of the whole household as the Big Sister. Mariel gladly accepted the task, which will begin tomorrow. How would the HMs react to her presence again plus additional authority from Kuya?

After Mariel left, Toni then got on to the eviction process and prepared Jon, Will and Donnie for the results. Will heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his name called as the first saved housemate. Jon's name was then called next which meant that Donnie is this edition's fifth evictee. Like the HMs before him Donnie left his footprints at the Celebrity Walk of Fame. Will walked away with 39.42% of the votes. Jon took in 33.15% while Donnie ended up with 27.43%.

Toni also broke the news of Gaby wanting to make a voluntary exit after finishing her punishment for damaging her lapel mic in the pool. Gaby explained that during her first exit, she really wanted to stay for she felt that there were a lot of things yet for her to experience. But after her 'come back', she suddenly just felt that she has already experienced everything there is inside. Big Brother though gave her time to re-think her decision. He in turn will also analyze the situation and give her a final answer soon.

Kuya actually has not only this to think about but another former HM's request just recently. The Ultimate Pasaway has come knocking on his door once more and is asking for a second chance. "OK na ako, OK na ang puso ko," was Ethel's opening statement to Kuya. She also told him that a lot of things definitely changed for her outside his house besides her love life. "Paglabas ko wala na akong kaibigan...Nakita nila ang totoong Ethel, kaya lumayo sila...Iba na ang trato ng tao sa akin noong lumabas ako kasi may respeto. I thank you for that. Pati family ko nakilala ako." Ethel gratefully told Big Brother. She then expressed her reasons for wanting to return to his abode and finish the entire season. "Gusto ko sila samahan hanggang matapos 'to, pwede ba tayong magtulungan?"

Wow, the housemates has Kuya confused this time! Will he consider Gaby and Ethel's requests?

Tonight may be devoid of any tiring games but the celebrity housemates remained busy in creating their anime skit. They were given a five-minute clip from an episode of Naruto to guide them on the actions they have to mirror. However, their script should not be based on it but an entirely different story. To make it easier, they used their anime characters as a basis of their plot. It would feature a long-standing family feud between the Wasabis and Lees. You can expect a love triangle between Sashimi, Bog-lee and Saske on this performance. But for now, Gladys is still leading the group in writing their spiels.

Meanwhile, Gaby's punishment is currently in progress. As seen on the primetime episode earlier, they were given a task to teach their piglets some tricks. White sand was even laid around the garden where Peggy's brood can play around. But as soon as Porkchop was freed in the area, it started to run in circles, leaving the Racing Godess hard on her godpig's heels! Unfortunately, the chase ended in the pool where she drenched her lapel mic. Everybody knew that this meant a serious consequence for her to gain a new one just like Will's experience.

The Racing Goddess humbly admitted that it was her responsibility to take good care of her lapel mic even amidst pressing situations. Unfortunately, her punishment did not only include sharing Donnie's lapel mic. As it happens, the rest of the housemates were given a chance to make their suggestions to Big Brother. And the winning penalty was Jon's, Live with the pigs for one night. She began to enact this after their nerve-wracking game earlier. She was all by herself at first but Donnie eventually joined her in the pigpen. What's more, he promised to stay there throughout this 24-hour task! Can the Racing Goddess last without feeling bad about it?

After Jon and Will's tension-filled punishment few days ago, Gaby was next on Big Brother's list of misbehaved residents. And just like what happened to the two hunks, the Racing Goddess penalty lay in the hands of the celebrity housemates. All of them were called inside the confession room to give their opinions on Gaby's pool accident except for Gladys, Ruben and Donnie so she would remain unsuspecting as to this "connivance".

To be fair, Big Brother asked the others to shuffle four steel glasses covering different kinds of punishment that they have suggested for Gaby to pick. This included "Help" which required her to become a "housegirl" for a week while carrying a boom mic with her at all times. "I Love Peggy" entailed living with the piglets for 24 hours, using the Semaphore Flag Signaling System (where each flag sign represented a letter from the alphabet) as her only way of communication. "Matic" was the worst for it indicated an automatic nomination and one day in front of a boom mic. On the other hand, the last one was her best option since it was tagged as the Reward, meaning, she would be given a board game to play with plus a chance to choose her form of penalty.

This internationally-acclaimed racer proved to be a clever girl even in the midst of such nerve-wracking pressure. When the housemates started to mix up her options, she kept her eye on the "Reward" option. And luckily, her final pick was right on target! Since she's really attached to Peggy's offsprings, she opted for a round-the-clock bonding moment with them. In the meantime, Donnie's willingness to commiserate with his loveteam brought him on her side. As such, the Racing Goddess couldn't help but speak with him in spite of Big Brother's firm warning to refrain from doing so.

Because Donnie was somehow responsible for Gaby's blunder, Big Brother told him that he could either let Gaby suffer an additional 20 hours with the piglets or save her from this extra burden by agreeing to accompany her throughout this "stinking or deal". He'd been raring to share his partner's agony so he accepted the second alternative. But as soon as Gaby learned what he did, she immediately confronted Big Brother about it. Her protest was in vain though for Donnie insisted to join her in the pigpen!

Donnie owned the first two rounds, but in the third round, he lost grip on the pole and fell in the pool. From then on Jon took over the game and he eventually took home the eggs. In the next few days, Kuya will hold more games where the two teams can win more power eggs. The more eggs a team gets their hands on, the closer they are to winning the task. Big Brother added another 'rule' to acquiring power eggs and that is by stealing the rival teams' stash!

The HMs had another pool game today to determine this week's HOH. To eliminate a player, a housemate must strive to be the best among seven mini-tasks. The winner of each mini-task will choose which HM shall be thrown over board and be ineligible to join the next round. At the end of seven rounds however, the eliminated players will be the ones to choose who will be the HOH between the two remaining people inside the boat.

Mini-task number one is card picking. The housemates had to choose a card from a deck and the one who holds the highest number will decide who goes out of the boat. Riza wins this task and she chose to boot out Yayo. The plastic balloon game came next and this time Gladys won by having the biggest bubble. She chose to throw Will overboard.

Flying paper airplanes followed and Yayo was chosen to judge which plane landed nearest to two flags. Jon was able to "fly" his plane further than the flags which impressed the HMs. But it was Gaby who was able to get nearest the flags and she chose Riza to be eliminated from the game. The 4th mini-task was corn eating where the HMs must finish a cob of corn using only their fingers to eat the kernels. Jon definitely won the game this time and he booted Baron out of the boat.

The 5th mini-task involved eating icky food out of three plastic cups. To determine the three HMs who will down the revolting mix of liquids, the five remaining players again picked cards from the deck. After getting the 3 highest cards from the deck, Ruben, Donnie and Jon then must drink whatever is inside their cups. Ruben, who went first because of his card, vomited before finishing his drink and was therefore disqualified. Donnie followed and drank his red drink in one gulp. He then got Ruben evicted from the boat. However, Jon was supposedly the one to go after Ruben so he was given the chance to complete the task. Unfortunately for Ruben, he was also Jon's pick to go overboard.

Playing darts with the dart board underwater came next. Donnie's dart was the one closest to the bull's eye and he picked Gaby to say bye-bye afterwards. The final game saw Gladys, Jon and Donnie compete in a whistle game. The HM who blows the whistle longest will be declared the game's final two. Gladys blew her whistle in 2 seconds while Donnie and Jon blew theirs at 3.7 and 4.6 seconds respectively. And now two men remain in the ship. The eliminated housemates are yet to cast their votes inside the confession room tonight. Jon or Donnie. Who will be the next HOH?

The shrills of the piglets reverberated throughout the garden as the HMs commenced the Piggy Race. With a reward that's still to be revealed, everyone geared up for a fun afternoon race. However, the task was not as easy as it seemed for the piglets found exploring the garden more interesting than obeying their clapping owners.

The first round found Ruben and Will head to head. Ruben's Pidots emerged the victor however, followed by Donnie's Chikee, Yayo's Biboy and Megan's Babe now being played by Gladys. In the semi finals, Pidots and Chikee both refused to cooperate and were both disqualified. So it was Biboy and Babe who became the automatic contenders for the championship race. After much hollering, clapping and stomping. Yayo got Biboy to cross the finish line first. Yayo happily raised her pig above her head and did a celebratory dance. Big Brother instructed Yayo to strike a winner's pose after as if photographing her for a sporting magazine.

Last week, we saw the very first 'mock nomination' in PBB history which placed Jon, Riza, and 2-in-1 housemates's Donnie and Baron on the danger list. As announced, there will be no voting for this week as Big Brother only wanted to test the characters of these four celebrity housemates, making them believe that one of them will leave at the end of the week. But in this afternoon's Uber, Kuya made the biggest shock of the season by telling all the housemates that one nominee will get evicted tonight.

Based on PBB tradition, evictions are held a week after each nomination. But since it was just a couple of days after the last 'nomination,' everyone was left speechless in the confession room when Big Brother announced that one of the nominees will be evicted tonight. Riza lightly accepted the news with a smile, while Jon was unable to put on yet another funny antic like he did last Sunday. After the announcement, all nominees were instructed to get their luggages in the storage room and start packing. They only have a few hours to say goodbye to their peers before they face their twisted fate. The rest, meanwhile, still could not believe that an eviction could happen this early.

Baron and Donnie instantly packed their things, but it seemed that the Wild Child was already expecting that tonight will be his last. Meanwhile, Riza decided to put on her best dress as if she was about to take a farewell walk. Jon, on the other hand, tried to keep his composure in spite of his numbered hours as a celebrity housemate.

Despite his seeming immaturity, Baron proves to the whole world the depth of love he is capable of giving for the sake of his family. Tonight, we have glimpsed again how the Geisler brothers solidly bonded inside the secret room despite the struggle they went through. The Wild Child's heartwarming admission of his own flaws, his pride for Donnie and his ability to be selfless somehow made up for his blunders for it showed his determination to rise above himself when given the chance. As soon as Donnie left him though, Big Brother explained that he may still get the opportunity to shine brighter. Hence, he went back to his hideout, leaving his fate to the public's decision.

But the siblings were not the only ones who were overcome with swirling emotions last night. The rest of the housemates were also burdened by a meaningful sacrifice that they were not made privy with. More than Mariel, it was Ethel who bravely refused to suffer further for something she doesn't even understand. It was merely another test from Big Brother but he eventually confided the worthy cause behind it. Still, the Ultimate Pasaway stood by her claim that she wouldn't do it anymore.

Much later, the housemates happily welcomed Donnie back, excitedly updating him on what he missed out since he left with Baron the other night. Mcoy recounted how he got offended as an artist after his written script was questioned by Big Brother. As he listed off his other grievances regarding the matter, he was suddenly called in the confession room for a heart-to-heart talk.

There he reasoned out that he was just stating his opinions. But Big Brother seemed to be offended with what he heard outside, insisting that the Musikerong Daddy could have easily went to him to clear the clouds of doubt between them. Ultimately, he said that he also wanted to reassure himself that their project is not an adaptation of the book "Ghosts of August" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. With that, Mcoy apologized for the misunderstanding since he was merely stressing the fact that they are trying their best to succeed one of his challenges again.

What happens next however was certainly unexpected. After sharing what transpired between them with the group, he went livid for being cut short while he was still explaining himself to Big Brother. Apparently, he felt disrespected after their exchange which led to his own abrupt decision to leave the big yellow house. Ethel followed suit, claiming that she's done waiting for her 'phone call reward' and dealing with the mystery that surrounded their tasks and even Mariel's reason to be there with them.

PBB Host Toni Gonzaga seals the latest drama surrounding the celebrity housemates by confirming that the Ultimate Pasaway and the Musikerong Daddy have truly made their voluntary exit! This sad news however is coupled with Baron's return as a housemate after the landslide result of the viewers's votes for him to be saved, a total of 91.69%. In the meantime, how will the housemates face Big Brother's challenges without Mcoy, their leader? And what will they think now that Baron is still a housemate after all? Can he prove that he is really a changed man this time? .

The 24-hour limit reaches its conclusion tonight, signaling the moment of truth between Baron and Donnie's pressing decision to make. Their mom Mrs. Grace Geisler, who's with PBB host Toni Gonzaga tonight, shares that she's equally distressed towards the tough spot they are in. Though we all know that Donnie usually gives in to his brother, she claims that either of her children have the capacity to be selfless in this case. And she's right.

Way before this crucial point, Big Brother threshed things out with them in turns. For Baron, he believed that he already served his purpose by showing who he really is to the whole world. At the same time, he felt that it would be less damage for himself if he goes now. On the other hand, Donnie was confident that he can make it to the Big Four. I know what to do para walang masabi ang housemates. I know what it takes to get to the top.

When they finally got the chance to speak with each other though, the Good Brother explains that staying inside the big yellow house is Baron's chance to shine brighter and to show everyone that he can handle things on his own. Ultimately, Donnie wants his family to be happy, Do you wanna go back to do that pwede-na-buhay? Ayoko na ng pwede na bro, he insists. Then the Pasaway Actor calls for a hug to seal the heartwarming moment.

Unbeknownst to Donnie, Baron completely understands what he's trying to tell him. Perhaps, he shocks the whole viewers with his unselfish revelation about his ultimate goal in joining the most famous reality show in the land not for himself but for Donnie to have a better life. In spite of his personal desire to stay, the Wild Child makes the greatest sacrifice tonight! Tears ran down his face during his heart-to-heart conversation with Big Brother at six-o'clock this evening.

To give them a final morale booster, Big Brother surprises the two with a 100-second encounter with their mother. Mrs. Geisler quickly assures them that everything is alright, leaving it to them to come up with their final decision. Right after she leaves the confession room, Big Brother bestows the responsibility to choose to Baron for a change. And there it goes. Donnie returns alone as a housemate.

However, Barron is not evicted yet! Big Brother gives the viewers the privilege to raise their voice whether you want him in or out.

Technorati : Baron Geisler, Donnie Geisler, News

Perhaps the day of the week made a whole lot of difference in this make-believe eviction, making it easier for the housemates to passively accept their fate from the moment they heard the heart-stopping news in Uber leading to tonight's episode. First, Toni Gonzaga revealed a hilariously empty Eviction Hall before checking out on Riza, Jon, Baron and Donnie. But instead of seeing agony in their eyes, all four seem to be in high spirits. At the same time, each of them similarly claims that they are ready for anything. The English Outcast even quips, "Medyo chaka ang feeling."

Then the next thing we see is how Baron asked Big Brother's permission to date Mariel. And it turns out that it was the reason behind his selfless sacrifice yesterday to keep the whole house spic and span! What's more surprising however is his decision to offer his hard-earned privilege to Jon, explaining that it was very obvious that Mariel likes the latter a lot. "Mukhang malabo kuya. Wala akong nakikitang magic from her", he reasons out. More than that however, he is happier to see the floors in its polished glory. Ultimately, he treats it as a good deed done for his beloved housemates.

Unbeknownst to him, his ability to sacrifice will be put to a great test twenty four hours from now. Riza is first to step down from the danger block tonight followed by Jon, leaving the Geislers in a tough spot. Relief seems to flood their whole being after being kept in suspense for so long. Mariel on the other hand becomes emotional as she bids the two her last farewell. Then they immediately make their way out. There they learn from Toni that they are yet to hear the full details of their sudden exit from Big Brother himself.

Back on the confession room through a secret entry, Big Brother reveals the most shocking news this season. After five weeks in the big yellow house, he finally breaks the 2-in-1 set-up, which he merely created to see how far their brotherhood will take them despite their complicated status. The two has yet to absorb that they are not really evicted when another twist is landed upon them. Though they can now fully get hold of their respective identities, only one of them can return as housemate! They are given 24 hours to reach a common decision without speaking to each other until Big Brother allows them to do so.

Will Donnie give way to Baron like he always does? Or will Baron choose his brother to fight for the two of them? Who will go back alone by tomorrow and how will the housemates react once they see one of them again?

Surprise, surprise, Kuya has got another trick up his sleeve. In tonight's mock nomination with a twist, the big man of the house first let the HMs each pick a chip placed on a table beside the black medallions. 8 of those chips would be blank and 2 will contain Xs. The Xs actually stood for a face to face nomination and Mariel and Mcoy had no choice but to reveal their chosen nominees. Mariel gave one point to Mcoy for she felt he was too liked by the HMs to be voted. She gave her 2 points to Donnie, who was already longing to see his son. Mcoy, on the other hand, nominated the Geislers and Victor. Baron received a point for being too maselan and Victor got 2 for Mcoy felt he has already accomplished his mission inside the house. Mcoy added that Vic has already an advantage over the other two models, Jon and Will, for he has a string of projects waiting for him still outside.

The housemates are actually in a jolly mood tonight and all have probably adjusted to nominating. The Geisler brothers took their nomination announcement in stride being veterans of this process. Jon uttered a very loud "no" but it was actually all in jest. Riza smiled after hearing her name called but tears began to fall as she sat down with the other girl HMs. Of course, the seriousness of being a nominee for eviction will sink in later within the week. But how will Baron, Donnie, Jon and Riza feel when they later on discover that the nomination that occurred is null and void and that voting is actually still off?

Mariel first did a tap dance number with Victor and Megan. Victor was the one who taught Mariel how to tap dance since the Lonely Dreamboy had been studying the moves since he was in high school after seeing the Australian film "Bootmen." At first, Mariel was reluctant in learning tap dance, but after a series of rehearsals with Victor, she managed to put on a great show for her housemates.

Afterwards, Mariel faced her worst fear when she took the microphone and sang with Mcoy. Mariel sang "If Ever I See You Again," the housemates' eviction-theme originally composed by the Musikerong Daddy himself. Mcoy played the guitar and sang back-up to help Mariel. Despite a couple of mishaps, Mariel was able sing, although she failed to hold back the tears because of the song's touching lyrics. Finally, Mariel showed her tough side as she showcased some basic taekwondo moves with Donnie. With Donnie's 7th place win in the 2004 Athens Olympics, there was no other housemate who can best teach Mariel all those kicks and punches. Despite her size, Mariel proved that she can also be rough and hard. After the show, all the celebrity housemates cheered Mariel for the simple yet meaningful achievement of hers. Mariel thanked everyone for she wouldn't have been able to perform without their help.

Apart from reigning supreme in taekwondo competitions, Donnie had also admitted his liking for extreme sports. That's why there's no stopping this sporty dude from winning any competition, even the swinging battle for the Head of Household title. Donnie scored a perfect ten in the Pendulum Bowling challenge and shared the HOH pride with his brother Baron, who stayed in the sidelines to serve as a scorer. The Geisler brothers will be enjoying the regular HOH privileges, but this time, there will be an extra movie date and spa menu. But how can Donnie and Baron be HOH when they are both nominated this week?

Although the Geisler's are nominated for this week's eviction, they were allowed by Big Brother to compete in the game together with the other nominees. But Kuya cleared that in the event that a nominee wins as HOH, and the HOH gets evicted at the end of this week, the runner up of the game will take over as HOH. In Kuya's version of bowling, each of the housemates were given the chance to ride the large pendulum ball. They had three chances to swing the pendelum to knock down as many human pins as they can, the total numbers of which will be equivalent to the final scores. For the human pins, it was very difficult to keep their balance once the ball hits them because of the huge and constricting pin costume. For the player, on the other hand, sitting on the swinging ball caused pressure on their thighs.

In his second attempt, Donnie eliminated nine human pins, with Yayo the only housemate left standing. But Donnie succeded in knocking the Mommy in Distress down, and he topped the scoreboard with his perfect ten record. In the end, the final scoring declared Donnie in first place, Gaby and Yayo tied at second, and Jon in third. Baron jumped for joy for his older brother's victory, especially when Big Brother confirmed that the Pasaway Actor will share the HOH title with Donnie.

They may have survived the 25-hour sleep task, but in their cranky state, can our celebrity housemates still keep their grounds steady for another challenge? This morning, Big Brother ordered another task that tested our housemates' patience, teamwork, and strategy. In the activity area, Baron, Donnie, Will, and Ruben must work together in building a pyramid using crystal water goblets. But the twist in this task was that they must the pyramid on an unstable beam and the pyramid must stand for at least 10 minutes.

Ruben and Baron took charge of building the pyramid, but the difficult part was that they have inflatable buoys on their body which kept them from moving freely. Meanwhile, Donnie and Will stood on the each sides of the wooden beam placed on top of a tin drum. Donnie and Will must work with one another in keeping the beam as steady as they can while Ruben and Baron placed the goblet pyramid. During the task, the pyramid fell down several times, and this almost pushed Baron off the edge of his patience. Good thing Ruben always reminded his mates that they can do the task for as long as they stick together. On the other hand, Donnie and Will felt the strain on their legs as they tried to keep their feet on the unstable beam. But after several minutes of painstakingly trying to build the balanced goblet pyramid, Kuya called off the task, and the four guys left the activity area in disappointment. Nevertheless, they assured each other that they all gave their best shot to make the pyramid work.

Meanwhile, in the garden, the other housemates were ordered to build the new table that they will be using inside the house. As materials, they were given the large colorful wooden sticks that they used in yesterday's Pick Up Sticks game. To keep the sticks together, the housemates only had ropes to tie around the sticks. Everyone thought of the perfect structure in building a table, ensuring its stability and strength. Mcoy figured that making a tripod leg for the table would be the most stable feature. Riza, on the other hand, helped putting the sticks together with her knowledge in making knots. Everyone helped out the best they can to build the table, because if worst comes to worst, they will have no table to use inside the house.

On All Souls Day, Big Brother found a way for some of his residents to ease the pain of losing the chance to be with their loved ones when they passed away from this world. Through the fax machine, he sent blank obituaries for Baron, Donni, Victor and Riza to as part of the symbolic ritual of letting go that they were about to do.

At the same time, they were given some time to do artworks in remembrance of the deceased's legacy to them, which they later presented to the housemates. First off was Rizza who lost her nineteen-year-old nephew just before she entered the prestigious yellow house. Behind all her poise is a grieving heart for failing to attend his wake in Canada. Together with Toni, she made her goodbye ritual at the rooftop of ELJTower where she freed two balloons as a symbol of coming to terms with his violent death.

Coming from his father's second family, Victor regretted not trying his best to see him before his life support was unplugged way back in 2002. At La Mesa Ecopark, she was aided by Mariel as he uttered the words of forgiveness to a dad who wasn't there when he was growing up. And so he threw the ashes of his obituary onto the woods with a lighter heart.

Meanwhile, Baron and Donnie's rite involved dropping their message-in-a-bottle by the river. In their case, they were both busy with a taping and a Taekwondo competition in Japan when their father died of multiple organ failure. Though the Wild Child consistently visited his remains on the columbarium, he confessed that he goes there drunk most of the time.
