Final nominations nominate none and nominate all!

Nominations pushed through in the usual way last night, with each housemate picking two others for eviction. Little did they know that tonight was the last nomination night, and with that came another task. All looking pure in head-to-toe white outfits, the housemates were faced with a mysterious board cloaked in black. On Kuya’s signal, the cloth was lifted, revealing a board with several tags of eviction statements. From the sedate “Adios” to the harsh “Get Lost”, the housemates were asked to get two and tag the housemates whom they nominated earlier. No changes could be made, and with explanations necessary, each had to face their co-housemate and be held accountable for their choices.



Melai, who was exempt from nominations having won a slot in the finals, was first to be called by Kuya. With utmost candor, she tagged Paul Jake with “Get Lost”, with the reason that he was arrogant and did not need the prize money anymore. Tibo got “Paalam na” for being pretentious in his humility.

Paul Jake stated a general apology for having to tag the others, but some things simply had to be done. He stuck “Laos” on Mariel, as he felt she had been untrue to herself and was playing safe recently. “Sibat na” was for Johan, being a strong contender.

Jason could not hide his uneasiness at the task, especially with specific personal reasons behind his choices. He tagged Tibo with an “Asa pa” tag. As Melisa’s coach, Jason took offense at the latter’s statement that he was giving Melisa the spot for the Big 4 already, believing that Melisa earned it for herself. Jason also tagged Paul Jake, but cleared that it was not for being rich; he believed they all had an equal right to win. His “Adios” tag, then, was for some comments and actions that hurt him.

Tibo took his 4 tags in stride, and tagged in the same manner. Jason got an “Uwi na” tag from him for remaining lazy after four months inside Kuya’s house. Paul Jake’s “Exit na” tag was, unsurprisingly, for missing his girlfriend and being well-off already.

Johan was quite harsh in explaining his choices, becoming brutally frank in his reasoning. “Labas na” was for Tibo. “Madiskarte ka, pero ayoko ang diskarte mo,” said Johan. In a similar tone, he stuck Paul Jake with “Go away”. He reasoned, “Habang pinapatunayan mo ang sarili mo, pinapatunayan mong karapat-dapat kang umalis ng bahay.”

The last in line, Mariel approached the board with nervous laughter. She tried to keep the situation light by smiling at Paul Jake as she stuck his fifth eviction of the night. “Pahawa ka” was for him not needing the prize as much as the others. She stuck “Tanggal ka” on Tibo, his fourth eviction, for his statement about Jason and her conflict with him in conversations.

Up until this moment, they were still under the impression that the Char-Char Change prevailed. They were made to believe that the eviction of Cathy and those who followed were results of their own votes. Tonight, Kuya revealed that such was not the case. As always, evictions were based on viewers’ votes and not anyone else’s.

Likewise, their nominations this week were also “char”, a farce. Their votes did not count for anything; no one was nominated according to the housemates’ choices. Rather, everyone (with the exception of Melisa) was up for eviction. Kuya announced that they were vying for the last 3 slots, withholding the addition of a fifth big placer and allowing them to believe that 2 more housemates will say their goodbyes within the week.

From now until the Big Night, votes will be accumulated and will determine the ranking of the remaining housemates. No more nominations, yet the next two weeks will prove to be the longest – and shortest – that the housemates have to endure.
