Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition Season 2

Macoy Fundales New Band

2008-05-14T08:08:00.000-07:00

Macoy 'Marco' Fundales has formally re-united with his 2 former band mates from the now defunct Orange and Lemons and has formed a new band named 'Kenyo'. You may be wondering, why 'Kenyo'? I suppose, it was named after from the word Bulakenyo, since all three are natives of Bulacan.

“I’ve moved on, its a closed chapter of my life and this is my new band after orange and lemon. So far kasama ko pa yong dalawa sa na kasama ko sa orange and lemons ‘yong magkapatid (JM del Mundo and Ace del Mundo).”

Meanwhile, former bandmate Clem "Clemen" Castro has also formed his owned band "Camerawalls" but hasn't come up with an album yet.

Will Devaughn and Gwen Garci - The Real Deal

2007-12-06T06:36:00.000-08:00

Tonight's episode of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 turned out to be exciting and revealing. Why? Well, for 1, Gabby accidentally surged to the pool saving PorkChop (peggy's offspring), soaking her lapel mic that cost her a punishment from Kuya. That is to always stay beside Donnie to share his microphone.

Another exciting part is the Giant Memory Game which happened to be photos of their loved ones or anyone who had been part of their life in a way or another. From the 2 groups, Jon and Gabby emerged as the 2 finalist representing the male and female population. In the end, Gabby emerged as the ultimate winner.

After the game, the housemates were seen occupying the sala with the task of identifying the different photos from the game. I thought it was just another boring, drama filled task. Until the part that a photo of Gwen Garci is being identified by Baron to be Will's. When asked why, Baron told that Gwen was once a scrabble-mate of Will.

Uhmm, is it really the story? Probably, but I think I know better. I happened to download Viva Hot Babes Gone Wild with Mo Twister. Its the newest VCD released by VIVA, wherein VIVA Hot Babes, original and new have this forbidden question and answer with Mo Twister and a dare.

And guess what, on the part that Mo Twister was interviewing Gwen Garci, she was asked if she had any One Night Stand with Celebrities. Gwen answered models but not actors. When asked who, she calmly answered. Of course, we couldn't expect it to be audible because of the editing to make it blank.

After watching tonight's episode, I tried to re-view the part of Gwen and her revelation. And JACKPOT, the edited part that is toot toot is exactly WILL DEVAUGHN. Not only that, according to her, this hunk possesses a boastful 9 incher which she will never forget. Woohhh.. You better see the video to check it out. VIVA Hot Babes Gone Wild with Mo Twister. Check the video clip here. http://www.mediafire.com/?1nmooz2gktw

Who's the mystery celebrity?

2007-11-27T21:54:00.000-08:00

Last night, PBB made a teaser clip on who will be the other housemate to enter PBB House. In the episode, Bianca entered the room where the mysterious housemate is resting with a blanket covering her whole body. Anyone would really have a hard time guessing who the mysterious housemate is. Although, a clue is given. She likes to imitate Anabel Rama's voice and that of Mahal.

Uhmm, if my guess is right, I'd say that the next housemate would be no other than Glady's Guevarra.

Let's just wait and see.

Angel Locsin enters PBB House

2007-11-25T18:08:00.000-08:00

An angel entered PBB House. Yes, you read it right. Angel Locsin finally entered bahay ni Kuya. Kasarap nman maging housemate, tsk tsk.

This new guest house mate would surely fill the gap left by Ethel and Macoy. A clever move by ABS-CBN, I should say.

Meanwhile, a new set of nominees were revealed in last night's episode. Riza, Victor and Baron were the 3 nominees set for eviction this coming Saturday.

To vote, Text BB 3 for Riza, BB 5 for Victor and BB 7 for Baron and send sa 231 for Globe, Sun, Touch Mobile and Bayan Wireless subscribers and 2331 for Smart and Talk subscribers.

The competition is getting bigger as Kuya announced yesternight that he is doubling the prize at stake for the big 4.

Got this from http://www.mukamo.com/

Here's the video footage showing what transpired Macoy Fundales to finally exit the house. I wasn't able to watch this and as I watch it now, it was suspense-filled, nerve- wrecking episode. Watch it now.

Baron - still back at pbb house

2007-11-22T16:39:00.000-08:00

taken from http://celeb2.pinoybigbrother.com

Despite his seeming immaturity, Baron proves to the whole world the depth of love he is capable of giving for the sake of his family. Tonight, we have glimpsed again how the Geisler brothers solidly bonded inside the secret room despite the struggle they went through. The Wild Child's heartwarming admission of his own flaws, his pride for Donnie and his ability to be selfless somehow made up for his blunders for it showed his determination to rise above himself when given the chance. As soon as Donnie left him though, Big Brother explained that he may still get the opportunity to shine brighter. Hence, he went back to his hideout, leaving his fate to the public's decision.

But the siblings were not the only ones who were overcome with swirling emotions last night. The rest of the housemates were also burdened by a meaningful sacrifice that they were not made privy with. More than Mariel, it was Ethel who bravely refused to suffer further for something she doesn't even understand. It was merely another test from Big Brother but he eventually confided the worthy cause behind it. Still, the Ultimate Pasaway stood by her claim that she wouldn't do it anymore.

Much later, the housemates happily welcomed Donnie back, excitedly updating him on what he missed out since he left with Baron the other night. Mcoy recounted how he got offended as an artist after his written script was questioned by Big Brother. As he listed off his other grievances regarding the matter, he was suddenly called in the confession room for a heart-to-heart talk.

There he reasoned out that he was just stating his opinions. But Big Brother seemed to be offended with what he heard outside, insisting that the Musikerong Daddy could have easily went to him to clear the clouds of doubt between them. Ultimately, he said that he also wanted to reassure himself that their project is not an adaptation of the book "Ghosts of August" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. With that, Mcoy apologized for the misunderstanding since he was merely stressing the fact that they are trying their best to succeed one of his challenges again.

What happens next however was certainly unexpected. After sharing what transpired between them with the group, he went livid for being cut short while he was still explaining himself to Big Brother. Apparently, he felt disrespected after their exchange which led to his own abrupt decision to leave the big yellow house. Ethel followed suit, claiming that she's done waiting for her 'phone call reward' and dealing with the mystery that surrounded their tasks and even Mariel's reason to be there with them.

PBB Host Toni Gonzaga seals the latest drama surrounding the celebrity housemates by confirming that the Ultimate Pasaway and the Musikerong Daddy have truly made their voluntary exit! This sad news however is coupled with Baron's return as a housemate after the landslide result of the viewers's votes for him to be saved, a total of 91.69%.

Ethel and Macoy, out na sa PBB?

Mcoy Fundales and Ethel Booba make a voluntary exit from "Pinoy Big Brother" house

Nerisa Almo

03:46 PM

Many avid viewers of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Celebrity Edition were surprised by the sudden decision of former Orange and Lemons frontman Mcoy Fundales to voluntarily exit from the PBB house. Mcoy along with comedienne Ethel Booba left the Big Brother house at 3 a.m. today, November 22.

Mcoy decided to make a voluntary exit after the "Musikerong Dad" flared up yesterday, November 21, after Big Brother raised the issue of plagiarism in connection to his written script for their weekly task, which is to produce a 15-minute film. Big Brother apparently compared Mcoy's story to "The Ghost of August Mayford," which offended the former member of the disbanded rock group Orange and Lemons.

Mcoy pointed out that the group can hardly create scenes that will look more Pinoy because the interior of the house is inspired by the Victorian era. Even the garden appears foreign, Mcoy said, because of the cherubim and peacock statues.

Aside from being offended, Mcoy said that the scandal that was faced by his former band two years ago also stigmatized him. Orange and Lemons allegedly ripped off "Pinoy Ako," which was PBB's theme song for its first season, from the song of UK-based '80s band The Care titled "Chandelier."

Big Brother called Mcoy inside the confession room to set things straight after seeing that the former is still affected by the whole incident. But their one-on-one conversation did not resolve anything. In fact, he became more furious with their exchange.

THE PRANING THEORY. After his session with Big Brother in the confession room, heat added up for Mcoy when Ethel told about her own confusion with everything that is happening to them. Ethel, who was dubbed as the "Pasaway ng Bayan," reiterated their "Praning Theory" about Mariel's status inside the Big Brother house. They were suspecting that Mariel is not a guest housemate but is actually an official housemate like them.

Ethel and Mcoy then said that they are both prepared to be "kicked out" if that is where it will lead them.

It could be remembered that almost two weeks ago, Ethel packed her things and was very determined to leave the house in any ways she can. But she calmed down after Big Brother spoke to her alone in the confession room. On the other hand, a few days after Ethel's plan to leave the house, Mcoy confessed to Kuya that he wanted to go out already because he felt that he has already served his purpose inside the Big Brother house.

In Pinoy Big Brother Primetime tonight, the show will give the details about the decision of these two celebrity housemates to go out.

ANGEL INSIDE PBB HOUSE? Meanwhile, now that two housemates have decided to make a voluntary exit, does this give way to a new housemate who will enter the controversial Big Brother house?

In this year's Celebrity Edition, it seems that the Big Brother house became more open to guest celebrity housemates. Viewers have witnessed how Kuya trapped Mariel Rodriguez inside his house making her the guest celebrity housemate until today, November 22. A few weeks after, Toni Gonzaga also became a victim of Kuya after he brought the medallions for nomination inside the house. Toni stayed inside the house for only a few days and went just in time for her mother's birthday.

This coming weekend, Mariel's wish would come true as she is set to go out of the house already. However, there's a strong rumor saying that new Kapamilya star Angel Locsin will replace Mariel as the guest celebrity housemate.

PEP is still trying to confirm this rumor at press time.

How TRUE is this? Naked Moments

2007-11-08T09:03:00.000-08:00

A friend of mine told me that he was once watching the live feed of PBB thru channel 23, I think that's around 12nn where they air PBB for half to an hour of live telecast.

He said that he actually caught one of the telecast and was happy to see that the scene was the girl housemates, in bathrobes fresh from the shower. And there's actually a scene wherein Toni Gonzaga is actually changing undies when probably out of consciousness, or out of carelessness, accidentally dropped her robe, revealing her naked body.

Uhmm, if that's the case, then we can probably tuned to wait for that kind of moments.. :D

Disappointed Ethel

2007-11-08T08:56:00.000-08:00

Tonight's episode highlight, as far as I'm concern was the segment where Ethel is asking Kuya if she can have a pregnancy test. Yes, pregnancy test. She was actually confiding with Jon that she's suffering for symptoms experienced by preggy women. At first you wouldn't take it seriously because of her antics, but she turned out serious about it.

The next morning, Kuya called her and she got disappointed or at least that's what she appeared to be, for having a negative result.

Girls Night Out

2007-11-07T07:05:00.000-08:00

Because the guy housemates loose to a challenge vs the girls, they have prepared for a special girls night out.

Macoy entered the sala, where the girls are sitting pretty waiting, enjoying different kinds of drinks. As if a narrator or more of a bugaw moderator, he introduced the one-by-one appearing guy housemates in bathroom towels. After which, they let the girl housemates to choose who they want to give them massage. Riza chose Will, Mariel chose Jon, Yayo-Baron, Gaby-Donnie, Meagan-Ruben (im not really sure).

After that scene, they were asked to audition for the Pinoy Big Balita. Each of which has to report ala TV Patrol. I personally thought Macoy would be chosen for he is very fluent in reading the news. However, it was Ethel and Ruben who emerged as the chosen newscasters.

One of the news that put Mariel to tears is the news that a friend of a special housemate was spotted dating someone in a popular bar in the Fort. Wild guess tells me that this could be Zanjo, who is rumored 'close' to Mariel.

My favorite Mariel clip

Saturday Evictee - decided early

2007-11-05T08:34:00.000-08:00

Yes, you read it right. Gaby Dela Merced decided to voluntary exit this Saturday. She chose attending the Driver Development Program for International Racing in Arizona, USA from November 16-18 over the opportunity of staying inside Kuya's House.

Personally, I think, she made a wise move. Why? Because I think she's bound to exit anyway. I wouldn't expect her to have so much follower to save her from being evicted.

Wise decision, Gaby. Mabuhay ka.

Second Evictee - Its Sarah

2007-11-05T01:18:00.000-08:00

Sarah was the second casualty in the recent eviction night. And only a day after, a new set of nominees was announced.

They are as follows: Geisler brothers, Ethel Booba and Gaby, as chosen by the Head of Household Riza.

Gaby is having second thought of continuing her stint for she had an upcoming Driver Development Program for International Racing in Arizona, USA from November 16-18 which meant she has to leave the yellow house for more than a day.

Will she go for the driving career, or stay inside Kuya's house..

2007-10-28T16:03:00.000-07:00

It's voting time once again folks. The second set of nominees are Meagan (for the second time), Baron and Donald, and Zara. Meagan shouldn't have joined this set if not for the automatic nomination given by Ethel as the Head of Household.

Here's how you can vote.

BB 2 - Megan
BB 7 - Baron / Donald
BB 11 - Zara

Text BB to 231 for Smart and Talk N' Text subscribers, or to 2331 for Globe, TM, Sun and Bayan Wireless Landline.

You can also vote online at the official Pinoy Big Brother Voting Page.

26k girls and the head of household

2007-10-22T08:31:00.000-07:00

Today's episode of PBB Celebrity Edition 2 revolves around the punishment of the 26k girls and the game the other housemates played, color game for the ultimate Head of Household.

At first, among the 2 of 26k girls, I thought Marylaine had the positive outlook, easy to be with aura compared with the pasaway, papansin Jen. But I was wrong, as revealed by tonights episode.

Jen seems to be the more worthy. She thinks more, understands more and has the more positive outloook. All the while, Marylaine, not fully grasping Kuya's instructions, erroneously committed mistakes after mistakes to the point that the only escape goat is to voluntary exit not considering her partner. In the end, they both realize the reality that they have to think as one.

Another exciting part of the episode was the Head of the Household Color game wherein the house mates have to wear hand costume and be able to touch each color first. The last person to react gets booted.

Ethel emerged as the winner and gets the privilege of immunity for the next nomination + a chance to automatically reflect a spell and a special shower whom she chooses. In the end, she chose Mariel. The two end up happy, while cleaning the pen of Penny.

And the Nominees are...

2007-10-21T19:00:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday was indeed a heart pumping moment for our house mates for it marked the first ever Nomination Night. And here are the first set of nominees:

Megan Young (BB 2) and Jen Da Silva/Marylaine Viernes (BB 8)

I never thought that Marylaine will get more votes vs Jen. My personal observation tells me that Jen is the more 'papansin' and 'pasaway'. The house mates thought otherwise.

Nobody can blame Marylaine in my opinion. Not having your own set of clothes is truly a difficult situation to get into. Her only fault is not asking permission for borrowing clothes that are not hers.

To vote, simply text BB to 231 for Smart and Talk N Text subscribers or to 2331 for Globe, TM and Bayan Wireless Landline.

Here are the corresponding numbers of the PBB Celebrity Season 2 house mates:

BB1 - Will
BB2 - Meagan
BB3 - Riza
BB4 - Ruben
BB5 - Victor
BB6 - Yayo
BB7 - Baron / Donald
BB8 - Marylaine / Jen
BB9 - Gaby
BB10 - Mcoy
BB11 - Zara
BB12 - Jon
BB13 - Ethel

Riza Santos : FHM October Cover

2007-10-18T06:42:00.000-07:00

Did you know that before Riza Santos entered PBB house, she was the cover girl of FHM October 2007 Issue? Surprised? Don't be. Here' s a little preview of her poses.

End of rumors for Ethel Booba, at least

2007-10-17T08:32:00.001-07:00

Rumors spreading that Ethel Booba backed out from entering PBB's house finally ended tonight as Ethel marks the 16th person (13th officially) to enter Kuya's house.

There was even a commotion when Kuya stopped Toni from leaving the confession room. We thought it was a "Mariel the 2nd move" of the station. We're glad it wasn't.. :D

But still, I must commend that it would be a better edition should Toni be part of the house mates. She's extremely stunning....

Kuya's unexpected twist - Mariel is in the house

2007-10-17T07:00:00.000-07:00

"Oh my God", were the only words Mariel exclaimed when she was held hostage by no other than Kuya himself. Mariel Rodriguez turned out to be the 15th member of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 housemates.

All the while, you will see that she's not expecting the abrupt twist. She even came to a point of crying while talking to the mic. "I knew it, I knew it", cries out Mariel as Victor handed her things inside the confession room.

If Mariel is indeed the 15th member, how come we are hearing rumors that Ethel was given the chance to enter the house again, which according to other reports, she turned down the last minute. Will there be 16th member?

Is this some sort of 'gimik' or plain coincidence? Let's all stick to find out.

14th Member - Jon Avila

2007-10-17T06:51:00.000-07:00

Comes the 14th member of pbb housemates - introducing Jon Avila. This 23 year old hunk was last seen posing in the 2007 Cosmomen. Other than that, I have no other information on this guy... Though I must admit, he's quite a hunk

Zara Aldana enters PBB house

2007-10-17T06:29:00.000-07:00

Zara Aldana joins our list of PBB Housemates. This beauty queen exclaims that she's not 'Englisera', she's not 'sosyalera' and regarded as the 'Poor Beauty Queen'

From her looks, it seems that she's 1 tame, conservative, Filipina girl. I'm sure, she will win the hearts of many if her looks reflects what's inside of her.

Macoy Fundales joins PBB housemates

2007-10-16T17:05:00.000-07:00

Enters the real Macoy! Dubbed as the "Musikerong Daddy", this celebrity is a native of Baliuag, Bulacan.

Looking back, Macoy has come a long way. From the original Pinoy Big Brother, wherein his band (now defunct Orange and Lemons) introduced the original song of Pinoy Big Brother, and now being a housemate himself.

He used to be a schoolmate in Mariano Ponce High School in Baliuag, Bulacan, (2 years my senior). Kuya Marco (Marco Fundales in real life) as we call him during our Boy Scout days. Yes, you read me right, he was one of our Scout Masters, hehe. Not to mention that he's the Kuya of my classmate Jasmin Fundales and son of our teacher Mrs. Fundales.

Im sure pbb fans will have something to look after, especially the Bulakenos out there.

Ethel Booba backs out PBB Celebrity Edition Season 2

2007-10-16T05:13:00.000-07:00

Last Oct. 14, even before PBB reveals its list of house mates, Philippine News Portal (PEP) released this article 'First Read on PEP, Ethel backs out PBB'. According to the article, Ethel was supposedly part of the latest edition of the famous reality tv show, but suddenly backed out on the last minute.

The reason according to the article is simply, she can't live away from his bf Janvier Daily. Tsk tsk tsk. Too bad. It could've been better should Ethel pushed thru inside Kuya's house.

Sayang, ika nga. Coz for sure, she could've been one of the reasons why people would stay awake at night, including me. :D

Gabby Dela Merced enters bahay ni Kuya

2007-10-15T17:30:00.000-07:00

Bitin from the other night's revelation of house mates? Here comes another one. Extreme sports lover Gabby dela Merced is the newest house mates to look after.

And if you have noticed, bongga ang entrance nya. Started with a helicopter ride, diretso sa pool. Kuya never runs out of surprises.

I'm sure boy's will likely to be sticky to this edition of celebrity. Biruin mo, there are already 2 FHM cover girls. The first one was Riza Santos, the latest FHM Cover girl (October 2007 Issue), then here's Gabby Dela Merced, although Gab's cover is kinda conservative in a sense.

Sino pa kaya ang mga susunod na Housemates? There are rumors for Ethel Booba, I just don't know if the rumors are true. Then, there's Macoy Fundales, who happened to be my schoolmate way back in high school.

Let's just wait for things to unfold.

1st Batch of Housemates revealed

2007-10-14T07:24:00.000-07:00

Kuya finally reveals the 1st Batch of housemates of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2. They are as follows:

“The Sporty Hunk” - Will Devaugn
“The Cool Mom” - Yayo Aguila
“The Brainy Babe” - Marylaine Viernes
“The Despised Babe” - Jen de silva
“Komedyanteng Promdi” - Ruben Gonzaga
“The Elite Athlete” - Donald Geisler
“The Pasaway Actor” - Baron Geisler
“Tisoy Model-Actor” - Victor Basa
“Beauty Queen Soldier” - Riza Santos
“Pretty Young Star” - Meagan Young

We shall be waiting for the remaining 5 names to be complete the list.

Who among them will shine above the rest? Who will continue to reap more popularity? For me, I think more than the fame, what's more important is will they show their real personality? There's only 1 way to find out?
