Matt Evans and Ejay Falcon offer advice to ‘Pinoy Big Brother Double Up’ housemates!

Things have been heating up inside the Pinoy Big Brother Double Up house now that the show is on its last four weeks. Even former teen housemates Matt Evans and Ejay Falcon couldn’t help but get excited about how the current season of the hit reality show will wrap up. ABS-CBN.com spoke with the two young actors on the set of their newest teleserye Tanging Yaman where they revealed their bets for the Big Winner. Ejay shared, “Hindi ko pa masabi kung sino talaga ang mananalo pero gusto ko sina Jason (Francisco), Melai (Cantiveros), at Johan (Santos). Siyempre si Jason kababayan ko ‘yan (Jason and Ejay are both from Mindoro). Parang ako rin siya pagdating sa kilos. Si Melai naman talagang nakakatawa siya kaya ang daming may gusto sa kanya. Si Johan naman parang ako rin na medyo seryoso at simple.”



Meanwhile, Matt confessed how he, like many loyal PBB viewers, enjoys watching the comedic love team of Jason and Melai. “Gusto ko talaga ‘yung tandem nila. Nakakatuwa sila panoorin. Gusto ko si Melai maging Big Winner kasi sa tingin ko totoo siyang tao and she really deserves to win.”

Matt was a housemate of the first PBB Teen Edition in 2006, the season that also introduced Gerald Anderson and Teen Big Winner Kim Chiu. Matt described what he felt when he and Ejay went back inside the house recently to fulfill a task. “Halo ‘yung pakiramdam ko nung pumasok ako. Sa una natuwa ako na pumasok ako kasi nakaka-miss din ‘yung bahay na pinanggalingan ko. Pero parang ayoko na rin kasi mukhang mahihirapan na ako sa mga kailangang adjustments. Hindi ko na yata kakayanin pang sumali uli sa isang competition.”

The 23-year-old Fil-American cutie also commented on romantic relationships that form inside the PBB house. “Based on my experience, ha ha ha! Hindi maiiwasan na may mamumuong magandang samahan sa loob ng bahay. Pero ang hindi lang sigurado diyan kung hanggang kailan, kung magiging ganun din ba sila paglabas nila ng bahay ni Kuya.” Matt once had a relationship with fellow ex-housemate Olyn Meimban shortly after their PBB stints.

Ejay became the Big Winner of 2008’s PBB Teen Edition Plus where current MYX VJ Robi Domingo finished as runner up. After his stint as a housemate, Ejay waited for almost a year before he was given a break in showbiz, landing one of the lead roles in the top-rating teleserye Katorse. The 20-year-old Fil-French newbie actor shared some advice to Double Up housemates who also want to give showbiz a try. “Huwag silang mawalan ng pag-asa. Kung sakaling paglabas nila wala agad na project na maibigay sa kanila, maghintay lang sila. Darating din ‘yung tamang project para sa kanila. Habang walang project ilaan nila ‘yung panahon para matuto sila. Palawakin nila ‘yung kaalaman nila sa industriya. Tulad ko nag-workshop muna ako. Talagang pinaghandaan ko para kapag nabigyan na ako ng project e at least medyo ready na ako.”

Ejay added that based on his showbiz experience, good things really come to those who wait. “Ngayon na-realize ko na tama pa lang naghintay ako. Dumating nga ‘yung Katorse lampas isang taon pagkatapos ng PBB. Sa mga kasamahan ko kasi may mga hindi nakapaghintay kaya sumuko na lang sila. Ako sinabi ko talaga sa sarili ko na ito ang gusto ko kaya naghintay ako at nagsumikap ako.”

Meanwhile, Matt told the new batch of housemates to really think hard if showbiz is where they want to belong. “Kung gugustuhin talaga nilang mag-showbiz dapat mahalin nila ‘yung ginagawa nila. Minsan lang kasi dumaan ang mga magagandang opportunities kaya dapat i-grab lang nila. Dun naman sa mga hindi papalarin sa showbiz huwag silang malungkot. May iba pa namang bagay na pwedeng subukan.”
