Jason, Johan and Sam are the 11th set of nominees!

The housemates face the beginning of a new year minus a housemate and a weekly budget. Rica has already exited the house, but there were no tears for the season’s goddess. She left with gratitude for the experience and the opportunity to finally make up with her dad. Of course, her exit left Melai in tears. Good thing Tibo was there to provide support and words of encouragement. The concert also ended in disaster, with the housemates committing 4 mistakes above the allowed 10, thus losing their weekly budget. Yet, no bitterness came from the housemates. Despite their loss, they were still able to appreciate the fun times they had and the effort each poured into it. It seems like the housemates are finally learning that there is more to winning than material prizes.



Despite lacking a third king, another gift was given to the chosen housemate. Jason was the latest to receive a gift: a Sinski tricycle that would be a big help for the family income. In exchange, Jason had to serve the others as a houseboy for four days. His tasks included not just the usual house chores but also the whims of his señoritos and señoritas as well. In the beginning, Jason took the treatment of the others quite harshly, though after a talk with Kuya, he began to shape up and take his job more seriously. By the end of his challenge, Kuya called in the other housemates to give their feedback, and all agreed that Jason had indeed exerted effort and hard work, thus deserving the gift. They gathered in the living room and asked Jason to share his realizations regarding the task. What began as a light confrontation turned out to reveal quite a bit about Jason’s background. As Jason expressed his sentiments, he also could not help but become teary-eyed as he asked forgiveness from the others for his actions. As the eldest in his family, he had not really given himself much time for enjoyment. In fact, it was only in entering the PBB house that he had truly felt free to enjoy himself. Tibo later dished out words of wisdom to his comrade, urging him to dream of better things and to allow himself to be happy. He warns Jason about going back to his old ways, because “nasa huli ang pagsisisi”. Afterwards, the housemates were gathered in the activity area where Jason was finally awarded his tricycle. He took his housemates for a quick spin, while the others cheered him on.

In the confession room, Jason shared that he finally realized why his housemates treated him the way they did. It was not out of spite or love for power; rather, it was out of their concern for him. It was probably because of this that Jason was moved enough to not mark anyone with the heavy 3-point vote. Instead, he opted for an automatic nomination that could easily get him booted out of the house for good.

On the other hand, Paul Jake got a second go at being Head of House. The Tower of Dominoes challenge had the housemates splitting up into two groups. For the first round, all had to build the highest tower of dominoes within thirty minutes, with their hands tied. Johan, Kath, Cathy, Paul Jake and Melai were the winning team, and they competed against each other in the second round to determine the HoH. For this, they were to build the highest tower of dominoes within ten minutes, while blindfolded. With a 28 cm tower, Paul Jake won the title again. The losing team competed as well, to determine who the HoH game loser would be. With a 5.5 cm tower, Jason clearly lost the game, leading him to a self-imposed automatic nomination.

Joining him are Johan and Sam, who received 7 and 6 points, respectively. The others still felt Johan’s distance, plus his irritability and narrow-mindedness when discussing others’ views. Sam’s lack of housekeeping know-how got her the votes, since she was not able to help out with the household chores. On top of that, they were finding her quite insensitive in relating to the others. With Rica fresh out of the house, who is soon to follow?

Jason, Johan and Sam’s stay is on the line. The polls are now officially open to accept your votes. The double voting system prevails, making the process more complicated yet more democratic.
