The Big Date on the Big Night!

After 19 long, exciting and challenge-filled weeks, 26 housemates and two Big Brother houses, the Pinoy Big Brother Double Up finally came to an end tonight. But it wasn't just any ending, mind you. It was an ending worth remembering, an ending that will get any PBB fan through the rest of the year!
Exaggeration aside, the Big Date on the Big Night was exactly as exciting, momentous and unforgettable as it promised to be. The night started young but wild upon the arrival of the Big Five to the Ninoy Aquino Stadium, where they received an overpowering cheers of support from their fans who were already there even hours before the actual Big Night. However, as tradition, Jason, Johan, Paul Jake, Tibo and Melai weren't able to see the screaming fans at first for they were safely hooded and locked in the Volkswagen Beetle convertible car that wheeled them into the venue.

Melai named as this edition's Big Winner!

Melai was hysterical after hearing her name hailed as the Big Winner of this season! She almost smudged her beautifully-put-on make-up on her way to the stage, at the same time, grabbing random people to share the overwhelming joy she felt at that moment when she was rolled to the stage after coming out from the miniature Big Brother house. And when she was up on stage already, it appeared she still couldn't grasp the idea of being the Big Winner.

The Big Truths about The Big Five!

What could be a better way for the housemates to spend the last night inside the Big Brother house than playing and enjoying the moment itself? Hmm, let's see. Maybe a visit from the local King of Talk, prodding some truths out of their mouths?
Maybe that wasn't what the Big Five had in mind earlier tonight but when Big Brother announced to them that Boy Abunda himself was stepping into the house to have a a face-off with them... well, they couldn't say no, could they?

So up they were unto that little stage in the living room where one by one they faced Tito Boy who pried them with his quickly-thrown riveting questions for five minutes. Paul Jake was first to be grilled, ending up with the most controversial question of the night: "Did you do drugs when you were younger?" Of course, Paul Jake, being as straightforward as he usually is, did not even make a double take in replying with a yes. But he was cut off by the time limit so he wasn't able to explain himself immediately; it was only right before Jason's turn that he was able to voice his reasons of "peer pressure" and "function of age," as Boy tagged it.

Ex-PBB housemate Mariel Soriño has nothing against Princess Manzon!

Feisty lady housemates Mariel Soriño and Princess Manzon almost broke into a catfight during the Resbak Attack weekly task that pitted the official housemates against the ex-housemates. Princess was very aggressive in her attempt to destroy the domino tower of the housemates, but Mariel bravely tried to stop her and lead her to the exit. In an interview with ABS-CBN.com, Mariel revealed that she knew that Princess was only acting according to the task given by Big Brother. “Alam ko may tasks talaga ang mga ex-housemates na gusto nilang basagin ‘yung mga eggs at ‘yung torre. Nung nagsalita na si Princess ng mga masasakit na bagay alam ko talaga na strategy lang niya ‘yun so hindi ko masyado pinapatulan. Pero nung binabato na niya ‘yung torre inawat ko lang siya.”

Last Game Uber!

The Big Night is just one sleep away, yet the housemates don’t seem flustered at all. Maybe it’s because they’ve been there and done that. Maybe it’s because they feel like champs already. Maybe it’s because they do realize it’s the end and they’d rather take their own sweet time to finally breathe in every moment left of their being housemates.

The Big High Five Concert!

Strong high fives all around, everybody! The Big Five just did all they can to give their fans and followers the performances they asked to see. And boy, did they do great in the Big High Five concert!
Opening the night dancing to the Black Eyed Peas's runaway success hit "I Gotta Feelin," Paul Jake, Johan, Jason, Tibo and Melai started off with the right foot in infecting the audience with the right groove and atmosphere for the night. But things were just getting started then because the next numbers were owned by Paul Jake, who at first stammered out the lines of Andrew Gold's "Never Let Her Slip Away" but was able to recover later on; Johan, who suprised all of us by singing Shamrock's "Alipin" flawlessly, and Jason, who belted out The Script's "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" from his heart... and vocal chords. And if it weren't enough that the boys were singing, well, Melai was the cherry on top for their performances! She acted as the ultimate leading lady for the three of them, sitting there in the middle of the stage and changing face masks (a Denise mask for Paul Jake while a Cathy mask for Johan) for every number!

4, 3, 2 days to go before the Big Night!

Kuya has started on the Big 5’s transition to the outside world. After being cooped up for so long, the housemates had but memories of their loved ones to hang on to. Part of Kuya’s house rules was that news about the outside world was a big no-no. Last night, though, they got anonymous news flashes on the plasma screen, and it was just the beginning. They groped their way out of a gigantic maze, to be welcomed by the warm hugs of their loved ones!

Jason, Johan, Tibo, Paul Jake and Melisa feel the Big 5 vibe!

It began with the announcement that lifted a big weight off their chests: they were all winners! No one was going to get booted out, and they could all rest knowing that when they step out of the house, they would leave as one of the Big 5. Jason, Melisa, Paul Jake, Johan and Tibo indulged in a private concert to celebrate the news. Celebrity ex-housemate Macoy Fundales jammed with them, while Kuya provided them with drinks and finger food. This, in fact, was just the front act of a series of performances, this time by the Big 5 themselves!

Ex-PBB housemate Mariel Soriño is not keen on reuniting with the father of her son!

Before becoming the final evictee of Pinoy Big Brother Double Up, Mariel Soriño was given a chance by Big Brother to work things out with the father of her child. Her ex-boyfriend, Paul Jeffrey Kabigting, entered the PBB house to prove to her that he loves her and he wants them and their son, Paul Asher, to be a family. However, Mariel was still hurting over a betrayal in the past, that is when she was pregnant, Paul Jeffrey told her that he was married. In an interview with ABS-CBN.com, Mariel opened up about how she felt when the awful truth was made known to her. “Lahat na yata ng negative feelings naramdaman ko nung sinabi niya sa akin na may asawa pala siya. I was angry, disappointed, hindi ko maintindihan, gusto ko yatang mag-collapse. Eventually my family found out that I was pregnant. Nag-aaral pa ako nun. I was thankful kasi hindi sila nagalit sa akin. Tinanggap pa rin nila ako and ‘yung anak ko.”

The Big Five receives some big news!

One of the most stressful things about being inside the Big Brother house is that part where the housemates are being shut off from the world they've long known. No connection to the outside world, especially with their families, friends and other loved ones. Similar to a news blackout was what happened to them since they stepped inside the house four months ago.

Games, practices and events

Johan and Jason were the last to know about the big news, and in true PBB fashion, the revelation was nothing less than a big splash – literally! The two were blindfolded and positioned at the edge of the pool, guided by the three remaining housemates. Up to this point, they were still apprehensive as to who will leave the house last. Kuya explained that the housemate who would fall in the pool would be part of the Big Night, and at Kuya’s signal, Johan and Jason took off their blindfolds and were both pushed into the waiting pool by the giggling three. No frowns on anyone, now. All welcome the season’s Big 5!
