Johan, Paul Jake, Tibo, Jason and Melissa are Pinoy Big Brother Double Up’s Big 5 this season.
This season, because the show has a longer run Big Brother (aka the management) decided to have 5 finalists instead of the usual 4. Tonight single mom from Davao, Mariel is the last housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house.
Last week Mariel was able to start talking to the father of her son to patch things up and now that she is outside I hope they’ll be able to solve whatever problems they still have.

When Patrick was evicted a few weeks back I knew Cathy wasn’t in a good position and will surely be out of the game the next time she’s nominated. So tonight I wasn’t really surprise to see her go though I have to admit now that she’s one of my favorite (another favorite is Rica).
Cathy has just been evicted but she’s not able to get out of the house because she will take part in a special task called Resbak Attack which will test the housemates’ personality. Tonight ex-housemates Princess, Delio, Tom, Patrick, Yuri, Rob and Rica were welcomed back to the house and these people together with Cathy will start the Resbak Attack this week. This will surely be one of the most exciting twists this season and I’m happy Carol is not part of this special task because I don’t want to see that much drama really.

It was 2008 when DJ Earworm first did it, he, according to him, take a bunch of songs, put all apart and then put it all together to make a mashup. His first ‘United States of Pop’ was during 2008 which consists of the Top 25 songs of the year 2007 (according to Billboard). When doing it at the end of the year he calls it ‘United States of Pop’ but otherwise he combines song titles or calls it whatever he wants.
This year (or the previous year for that matter) the latest mashup consists of the following songs:

This week’s nominees are Melissa, Tibo, Mariel, Hermes and Cathy.
For the second time in PBB history the number of nominees is greater than the number of safe housemates. The first time this happened was during the first season’s face-to-face nomination wherein Uma was the only housemate who was not nominated during that time.
The competition is really getting tougher as the housemates’ reasons in nominating is now based on whether or not a fellow contestant performs good or bad in tasks. This week though most of them based it on each person’s personality. Melissa, for sometimes she doesn’t take things seriously; Tibo’s bossy attitude; Mariel’s being noisy and her lack of discipline when it comes to alcohol; Hermes for not performing well in group tasks; and Cathy having very few people she’s talking to.

I initially thought Sam is going to stay based on results of previous nominations. It was evident that she had so many supporters but it turns out Jason and Johan have more fans than her. Starting tonight she’s going to continue her career in modeling and perhaps we’ll see her in more commercials and I’m sure on TV too.

This year’s very first set of nominees were revealed tonight alongside shocking news of Big Brother’s hospitalization.
During the nomination process this morning while Kuya is talking to Marielle, she heard something which she thought was a technical error so she left right after the nomination. What she didn’t know was that ‘technical error’, a sound of something falling down the floor (she thought it was the microphone) was in fact Big Brother collapsing. Big Brother is still in the hospital and according to host Toni Gonzaga doctors say the collapse was due to stress or over fatigue. Stay tune for updates about his health tomorrow in prime time.
The housemates were all shocked by the news about Big Brother and hopes he recovers soon.
This week’s HOH is Paul Jake so he’s exempted from the nomination process. This week’s list of nominees are Jason, Johan and Sam.

Weekly task: a perfect concert.
Acceptable number of mistakes: 10
Anything with mistake is not perfect but not in the world of Pinoy Big Brother. If this is Pinoy Dream Academy, nobody should stay in the competition — no question about it. But this is PBB and Big Brother is ‘considerate’ enough to define ‘perfect’ not so perfect.
But unfortunately the group still committed mistakes more than 10 and this means failure to do the weekly task successfully. I have no idea how much budget is at stake but it doesn’t matter because they started the year with losing to the task.
Was it because of their super shiny make-up of just plain ‘kaba’? I have no idea. Honestly I enjoyed it and had a good laugh. Oh, is it just me or anyone else saw a striking resemblance of Kath to Sheryl Cruz? A very pretty Sheryl Cruz I must say. Wala syang panama kay Kath! Aaaaand Cathy and Johan looked sooo good together.
Plus… Go Melason!!! Hahaha! Aliw.

I have to admit, I am a fan of Rica and I really thought she would be one of the big 4.
Last week, when the names of the nominees were announced I was sure Rica would get the highest percentage of save votes tonight. But then I thought through it and realized that Sam, Johan and Paul Jake have more fans than her. I was only basing that thought on comments I’ve read on other entertainment websites.
Sam gets the highest (save) votes whenever she is nominated which is bizarre because she doesn’t have anything to offer aside from her pretty face — no offense; Johan and Paul Jake have personalities of their own and they’ve proven their worth as housemates so I’m expecting these 2 to stay.
And so Rica’s got very little chance of staying. She’s just a little unfortunate she was nominated along with the famous and not with Hermes and/or Marielle because I’m sure her scores would’ve have soared to the roof if that’s the case.
Well, the life of the house (and Melai’s best friend) is out of the house and I will surely miss her. She’s one of the reasons why I watch the show.
Good luck, Rica… I hope to see more of you on TV soon.
