Paul Jake's heroic act of kindness for Mariel!

Only less than two weeks left until the Big Night but Big Brother's surprises are simply unstoppable. For instance, one of those for this week fell unto Paul Jake, who was asked to make a sacrifice for his housemate and now also friend Mariel. The task was that he was to follow Mariel's reactions to ten situations that Big Brother will give out. Without hesitation, he accepted the challenge and assuring Big Brother that he will do his best. And if he will be able to deliver, Mariel would be given the opportunity to straighten things out with Paul, who is the father of her son Asher, whom she have had a messy relationship with.



Although the given situations were doable such as acting out expressions when caught up in a storm, chasing and pretend ice-skating, the drawback in them was that Paul Jake had to hold the pose he previously imitated from Mariel. The bigger challenge was that he had to sustain his form for over ten to 15 minutes before Big Brother would allow him to release it and rest. Mariel grew worried about the task since she could sense that Paul Jake was really having a hard time pulling through the task. Also, the housemates had also eventually grown apprehensive about Paul Jake's task. "Siguro sacrifice yang ginagawa ni Paul Jake (It's probably a sacrifice Paul Jake's undergoing)," Jason guessed.

And Jason couldn't have been more right. The only question then was that: For whom was Paul Jake sacrificing for? When the task was over, Big Brother revealed to Mariel in the confession room that Paul Jake's sacrifice was for her. Shocked, Mariel couldn't figure out why it was for her. Though she still didn't know what it was for, she expressed her gratitude to Paul Jake by taking care of him after the ordeal he went through just for her. Paul Jake, whom Big Brother also talked to later on, had no regrets about the task whatsoever. "I'm happy na nagawa ko yung task at sana ma-resolve na nila Mariel yung problema nila para sa anak nila (I'm happy that I did the task so hopefully, Mariel's problem would eventually be resolved for the benefit of their son)," he said.

Meanwhile, it took time before she finally knew when Big Brother thought it was already the best time for her surprise to be revealed. When it finally happened, she was sent to the House B wherein Paul, the father of her kid's son, was waiting on a dinner table complete with the enchiladas. Upon seeing this, Mariel couldn't help but immediately feel emotional for the hard feelings she still had for Paul. "Kahit matagal na, masakit pa rin (A long time has gone but it still hurts)," she sobbed. Paul, on the other hand, also broke down and asked for forgiveness from Mariel. He also stood up and gave her a hug of comfort and reassurance that everything was going to be alright.

Will Paul Jake's sacrifice be all worth it and help Mariel get through this problematic phase in her life? Stay with her by watching PBB Double Up every night!
