Teen Update
PBB Teen Edition Plus is getting interesting by the minute. So far – this season is way better than first Teen Edition snooze-fest. They are currently on their 5th week inside the house — and the fangs are coming out. O sa Lobo yun? Hmm..
The teen housemates are an okay bunch. Wala naman masyadong surprises. They are your typical teens acting like how typical teens act. (Well — except for a couple of them but that is purely a subjective and biased observation.). Away bati over trivial things like chores or amount of attention or effort in the weekly task. Madalas ang tampuhan pero kaunting sorry at ngiti lang ay bati na naman. Their conversations usually revolves around family, lovelife, school and friends. If you are looking for something deep and meaningful – well you maybe in the wrong place. Not that they are all airheads and bimbos — they are an intelligent group — but they are teenagers nontheless. However – once in a while – may mga moments din naman sila na they do show maturity way beyond their age. As expected – you get to see “loveteams”. Hindi na naman ito bago. Some teens have significant others sa outside world but can’t help but build “friendships” with other housemates. Naku – if you get to read the forums – kulang na lang i-crucify yung mga teens for being malandi, babaero etc…etc. Ako – I don’t particularly agree with it – but who are we to judge. These teens are inside one house, seeing each other 24X7. Hindi naman kabigla-bigla na may magkakagustuhan. Sa overnight camping nga – may nagkakadevelopan – ito pang weeks na nakakulong sa isang bahay. How about the significant others outside – well.. they have to bear with it. They can let go – or hold on. They’re young. It’s not the end of the world. It’s cruel – but it’s the truth. Your relationship is doomed the minute your significant other entered the house. Hello – yung ngang matatanda sa ibang season nagkakagustuhan. Ito pang mga teenagers. Siguro – it’s part of the life lessons sa bahay ni kuya.
Housemates update? Hmm.. okay. Beauty is still my favorite. I particularly like her unguarded moments. Kahit na nag-eemote na biglang may sasabihin sya na nakakatawa. She’s a joy to watch. Josef is also a favorite. Sobrang kulit. Mapagbiro kaya lagi tuloy nanonominate. He’s like everyone’s typical little bro who is always into mischief pero adorable pa rin. Marami nagsasabi na he’s playing a game — specifically with the loveteam angle. Well… I don’t think so. Mahirap kasing i-fake yung mga glances when you think nobody is looking. Marami syang mga little actions which gives him away. How about the GF outside? Well – only he can decide. Malay natin – wala na rin palang GF na babalikan. I am beginning to like Alex as well. Nung una – para kasing gimik ang pagpapatuli. Well – it may or may not be. We’ll never know. Pero what won me over is his character. He is such a sweet kid. Napakalambing nya sa Nanay nya. He is well liked by all of the housemates. Malaking add-on din ang mga nakakatuwang Beauty/Alex moments hehehehe. Wala lang – I find their tampuhan blues cute. Parang mga bata. Nicole is a puzzle. She seems to come alive whenever Josef is around. Pero pag tinanggal mo si Josef – she goes back to being mahiyain at di palasalita. I like the NicoSef moments. But as Nicole — she still needs to show who she really is. Valerie is quite charming. Natutuwa ako sa mga reactions nya.. and pag pinipilit nyang magsalita ng Tagalog. She’s a pretty face – but I am not yet sure if she can be more.
We can now go to the “I don’t particulary care if they get evicted” list. Jolas – hmm… hmmm…. Hmmm. I only have 1 opinion on this guy – he needs to get a personality. I actually wanted him out – since nandun man sya or wala – pareho lang. Nan – I am not sure kung anong papel nya sa bahay. He was suppose to be the funny one. Funny looking - pwede…. Funny –funny? Maybe. His “You get it. You have hands. And you have feet. To get and to walk…” quip is hilarious. The way he say it — priceless! Pero other than this – parang wala pa akong masyadong nakikita. Priscilla at Ejay– di ko sila magets. At wala rin akong maisulat tungkol sa kanila. Kevin – one advice – get out of the house. Medyo irritable ako sa teen housemate na ito. Parang hindi sya marunong tumanggap ng pagkatalo. Pag nominated sya – he turns into this Spanish cry baby na akala mo pinagkaisahan ng mundo. Hello – get down from your high horse and face reality. It’s a game – at the end of it all – someone needs to get nominated — and eventually evicted.
Last of the housemates – the “I don’t really like housemates”. Robi and Rona – RoRo as they are fondly called. Let’s start with Robi — if someone will say to me that there’s one teen housemate really playing the game – my first bet is Robi. I sense something unnatural with this guy. The tagalong quotable quotes is just plain ridiculous. His “Alam nyo naman ako – ang unang kong iniisip ay kayo” (or something to that effect) – almost made me gag. Hello. Hindi ka naman masyadong pa-hero effect nyan. Pag nagasalita sya – I can’t help but think kung gaano sya katagal nagpraktis. Pag may mga issues or nagmomoment – he says things one would want to hear – a lot of crap. A sign of maturity? Well.. perhaps. Or maybe he’s just smart enough to know the game to play. Si Rona naman – she reminds me of Hermione Granger before she became Harry and Ron’s friend - annoying. Kung nasa high school tayo – siya yung nasa unahan lagi nakaupo, nagpapakamatay mag-taas ng kamay during recitation at hindi nagpapakopya pag may exam. She’s your typical Little Miss Perfect. There was this instance when Kuya “punished” them kunwari dahil sa hindi sila malinis sa bahay. The other teens accepted the punishment — except si Ms. Wikipedia. Talagang mega-analyze siya kung bakit sya nasama sa parusa. Hindi nya matanggap na kasamaa sya. Sarap ngang sabihan na Miss… tigilan nyo na ang pag-oover analyze. Unecessary stress lang yan. Tulad ni Robi – paleader effect sya sa mga task. Like Robi – pag may mga issues at nagmomoment – alam na alam nya ang sasabihin. Its clichés flying everywhere — para tuloy hindi na kapani-paniwala. Bagay na bagay sila ni Robi —- sana magkatuluyan sila. Yun nga lang – kung sakaling magkaanak sila – yun na siguro ang pinaka-serious na bata ever.
Big four —- I would like Beauty, Josef, Alex and either Nicole or Valerie. Kahit hindi ko sya gusto – I think Robi will be in the finals. If the big four will be chosen right at this moment – it will be Beauty, Josef, Robi and Nicole. Kung ito ngang apat na ito ang magiging big four sa dulo — it will be a very good fight. Will the Ateneo and La Salle rivalry be fierce enough to translate into votes? Maguubusan ba ng pera ang magkabilang kampo? O hanggang sigawan lang sa UAAP games ang kaya ng dalawang unibersidad na ito. All the past winners are from the south — will we see another big winner from the same region? Will the Visayas and Mindanao vote catapult either Beauty or Nicole to be the big teen winner? Or will this split the regional votes like what happened to Panky and Jay-ar in PDA?
P.S.
Is there a place for the “out and proud” uncircumcised teen Kevin in showbusiness? Or he will be forced to face the scissors – para lang hindi na matanong ng tungkol dito?
