It's A Very Merry Christmas Ball

In Big Brother's house, the ultimatum is: you cannot simply be granted with what you want - you have to work hard for it. And boy, did the housemates work it, what with the mesmerizing thought of having a Christmas Ball cast in their minds.



It began when Big Brother called Sam into the confession room and told her to teach her fellow housemates how to dance on water in exchange of the Ball. The water-lover that Sam was, she couldn't have been more enthusiastic! She hurriedly told her housemates what was at stake and step by step, she patiently taught them the ways of synchronized swimming. And even though dancing on water was a bit difficult for them, the housemates' superb determination won them over. They got the Christmas Ball!

With that, Big Brother had more surprises in store for them. First, they were visited by one of the top beauty experts here in the country who was none other than Dra. Vicky Belo. She examined each of the housemates' faces, gave them beauty products they needed for their skin and treated all them to a facial treatment.

Next up was the visit of the hair and make-up guru, James Cooper, who did wonders with the housemates. After that, they got into their beautifully sewn gowns and crisp tuxedos in preparation for the Ball. The girls were especially happy with their makeovers, telling Big Brother that it was a long time since they felt like princesses. Likewise, the boys liked their smartly-groomed selves and new haircuts.

The couples of the night were already set earlier: Cathy and Johan, Mariel and Paul Jake, Kath and Patrick and of course, Jason and Melai. Carol, Rica and Sam were unfortunately not asked to the Ball by any of the boys. So in the confession room, Big Brother asked them how they felt about it. Carol said it felt ordinary while both Sam and Rica said they both expected that nobody was going to stand out for them. Hermes and Tibo, on the other hand, chose the same girls Johan and Paul Jake had but were turned down, thus their roles as waiters during the Ball.

And the Christmas Ball finally happened. The girls were stunningly beautiful and the boys scrumptiously handsome as expected. In entrance, the girls - Rica, Sam, Melai, Mariel, Kath and Cathy - paraded on the red carpet while the boys waited by the side. Then, they all sat down on the dining area as Hermes and Tibo attended to their feast. But quickly after they got their first mouthfuls, another surprise came in for them. Juris, one of the ASAP Sessionistas, appeared on stage in front of the area where the housemates were and sang to them. Later on, actress Angelica Panganiban, who stars in the upcoming movie "I Love You Goodbye," also graced the Christmas Ball clad in a lovely heavily sequined gown. She greeted and danced with the housemates who were all welcoming towards her.

See how hard work truly does pay off? And in more ways than one, at that. Tomorrow, it's time for the special date of Christmas Ball's King and Queen Melai and Jason so don't dare miss it!
