Kuya's unexpected twist - Mariel is in the house

"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.
