PBB Unlimited Second Set of Nominees

Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited had its nomination night yesterday, November 28, 2011. Both the Day and Night houses had new sets of nominees.

Jaz Manabat of the Night house told Big Brother she wanted to leave the house already because she misses her loved ones in the "outside world." Surprisingly, Big Brother allowed her to leave without much drama.

Nominated in the Day house were Naprey, Reg and Unad.

In the Night House, Jaz actually got the biggest number of votes and it was a good thing she exited because it seemed that her housemates don't like her anymore. Without Jaz, the three nominated were Tol, Casey and Wendy.

You can Vote to Save or Vote to Evict a nominated housemate by texting the following:

Jackie Forster and Angelicopter Quits "Survivor Philippines"

The team of Jackie Forster and Angelicopter decided to quit Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown before Tala even had the chance to vote during the second Tribal Council aired on November 28, 2011.

Jackie and Angelicopter couldn't take how the last Immunity Challenge has turned out. It's not about the fact that they lost the challenge, but how the Bulan tribe, most especially Arnold Aninion who "turned into a monster" during the challenge, played dirty.

Lordwin Claveria and Diane Aquino are the First Evictees of PBB Unlimited

The first Eviction Night of Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited was held tonight, November 26, 2011.

There were two sets of nominees, one for each house. The UnliDay house had Kim de Guzman, Mark Luz, Erica Arlante and Lordwin Claveria. The UnliNight house, on the other hand, had Kigoy Abarico, Diane Aquino, Slater Young and Tol Chua.

Mark was the first to be announced safe by host Toni Gonzaga in the UnliDay housemate followed by his girlfriend Kim. Erica was also announced safe which meant that Lordwin Claveria was the first evicted housemate of the season.

Mark got the combined Votes to Save and Votes to Evict percentage of 20.17%, Kim got 19.95%, Erica got 6.82% and Lordwin got the lowest 4.56%.

In the UnliNight house, Tol was the first to be announced safe followed by Slater. Kigoy was also announced safe leaving Diane Aquino to be the other first evictee of PBB Season 4.

Total tally of votes put Slater as the strongest contender in the UnliNight house with 28.95%, followed by Kigoy with 7.93%, Tol with 6.39% and Diane with the lowest total votes of –9.38%.

Before the evictees were announced, though, selected housemates in each house performed for the live episode.

PBB UnliDay Housemates Need Your Support

Ryan Tomas from Colorado, USA entered the Pinoy Big Brother UnliDay house last Monday to teach the housemates how to pop lock as their weekly task. They were told that they have to perform the dance number at the end of the week.

The performance was shown on the episode of PBB UnliDay this afternoon and it looked like a success.

But then Big Brother wanted the success of the weekly task to depend of viewers' votes. Not through text votes, though, but through "likes" on Facebook.

SPCDS: Alyssa and Aifha Gets the Boot

The Bulan Tribe faced the Tribal Council in tonight's episode of Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown.

Richard Gutierrez's announcement that the Bulan Tribe had to vote out a pair, the castaways thought twice about voting out Maribel Lopez even if the actress/beauty queen volunteered to be voted out. Maribel and her partner, daughter Mara Lopez, seemed to be more useful to the tribe than partners Alyssa Alano and Aifha Medina so the Tribal Council ended up with Alyssa and Aifha saying goodbye.

Ryan Tomas's Shirtless Pics

Ryan Tomas, the visitor who entered the Pinoy Big Brother UnliDay house to teach the housemates how to pop-lock, may not be as cute as Mark Luz, Kevin Fowler or Jerico Redrico but he is very attractive in his own way.

Especially when shirtless.

Here are some sexy pics of him that can be found on the internet.

PBB Unlimited: UnliDay Housemates Get a Pop-Locking Visitor and Their First Set of Nominees

A new visitor enters the Pinoy Big Brother UnliDay house and he has to teach the housemates how to do a pop locking dance.

The visitor's name is Ryan Tomas and he's from Colorado, USA. He auditioned for PBB Unlimited but wasn't able to make it in the official list of housemates. Ryan's parents are both Filipinos and work as jail guards in the US. He is both a dancer and a martial artist and has won several recognitions in both fields. In fact he is one of the youngest 4th degree taekwondo black belter in the world.

PBB Unlimited: UnliNight Housemates Get a New House and Their First Set of Nominees

The looban was demolished! But it was for the better. After the demolition, the looban housemates were moved to their new house, the posh house where Wendy, Joya and Diane were transferred when their male housemates chose to vote them out in favor of the 3Gs.

Aside from them, Seichang Ushimi and Jaz Manabat also moved to the UnliNight house.

Aside from the demolition of looban, the Sunday night episode of PBB was also the first nomination night in the UnliNight house.

SPCDS: Geneva Cruz Doesn't Wanna End Up Hating KC Montero

Geneva Cruz was still throwing a fit in tonight's episode of Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown. She still wants to quit because according to her, she didn't wanna end up hating her ex-lover and SPCDS partner, KC Montero.

"Pinahiya niya ako sa buong bansa," the sultry singer cried. "Wala na akong career dito. Hiyang-hiya na ako sa balat ko e. Paano mo masasabing pagmamahal, nakikita mo asawa mo, hirap na hirap na damdamin, gusto mo pa ring maglaro para maging Survivor. Manalo ng 3M pesos. Mas pinili niya iyon kaysa sa akin. This is not a game anymore when someone is getting hurt."

Obviously, what Geneva was feeling has a deeper root than what the Survivor cameras saw. She's like a jealous lover who wants her other half to choose between her and something that's important to her partner.

But then I thought they are exes. The jealousy/tantrum beats me.

The show's psychologist, Ali Gui, who talked to Geneva said, "She's very watchful and careful na baka hindi s'ya maingat sa sarili nya at maha-hype 'yan ng media, so doon n'ya dinecide that she wants to quit."

But it seemed that Geneva had a lot to say. "Pipiliin n'ya itong game na 'to sa asawa? Di ba napakasakit naman... Ang sakit, e... Mas gusto n'yo akong umupo do'n habang umaalis s'ya? Ang sakit sagad na sa buto 'yong sakit. Sagad sa buto!"

The psychologist further explained what Geneva was trying to do. "She knew very well that KC wanted very much to join the game. Whenever she doesn't see that kind of reciprocation na ine-expect n'ya from KC, doon naman ang card n'ya nilalabas n'ya na 'Ok, I'm going to quit.'"

Geneva, who wanted the boat to take her back to the mainland pronto, was so hurt she couldn't keep her mouth shut. "Pa'no mo masasabi pagmamahal na nakikita mo 'yong asawa mo hirap na hirap na damdamin gusto mo pa rin maglaro para maging winner ng Survivor at manalo ng 3 million pesos? Mas pinipili n'ya 'yon. He chose that. He's choosing to win that. yong title na 'yon tsaka yong pera na 'yon kesa sa 'kin. No doktora, no do you understand even how I feel? You don't even know what we are talking about when it's just him and me. He doesn't feel anything. This is not a game anymore when someone is getting hurt, when someone is getting hurt! Her whole family is hurting," she said pertaining to her family.

I must say Survivor wants us to get a full dose of Geneva Cruz this week. And then we thought it was Ellen Adarna who wanted to quit early.

PBB Unlimited: Carlo Romero Gets Excited

Carlo Romero made the housemates laugh uncontrollably in tonight's episode of Pinoy Big Brother UnliNight. He was the only male housemate with the girls in Big Brother's "resort" and he couldn't help but, uh, get excited.

It was probably due to the the booze and the idea of him being alone with the girls in swimsuits. Not to mention the earlier "bonding" with the 3Gs who teased them UnliNight boys a lot.

PBB Hottie - Mark Luz

Mark Luz is a current Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited housemate. He is tagged in the reality show as "Ang Model Loverboy ng Quezon City" and honestly, he is one of the cutest among the housemates this season.

I was watching Mossimo Bikini Summit 2011 (held last June) on Studio 23 last night and was surprised to see him from among the contestants. He was contestant #3.

I love the smile. Dont you? Too bad he didn't win the pageant. He didn't even make it to the Top 7.

Georgina Wilson for Bench Body in Greece

Georgina Wilson looks so hot in the new Bench Body ad for the model and the brand's stint on America's Next Top Model Cycle 17 semi-finals.

Bench is ANTM's clothing sponsor for its semi-finals where the model contestants of the reality show had to model Bench Body underwear. Georgina was there as a model/stylist and she was the one who told the girls what to do for their semi-finals challenge. The episode was shot in Greece.

Earlier in the same season, ANTM featured Hollywood-based Filipino designer Oliver Tolentino. Perhaps the high ratings of the show in the country paved the way for the Pinoy designer, and now one of the top clothing brands, to be featured in the show.

The ANTM episode with Bench and Georgina Wilson will be aired in the Philippines on November 14, 2011, 8-9 PM, on ETC.

7 New Housemates Introduced, 2nd PBB House Revealed

The new house of Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited was shown tonight. As host Bianca Gonzales put it, it looks very industrial. Functional, yes, but not so much of an eye candy for me.

The mole Carlo Romero stayed as an official housemate and through his first task, six official housemates from the "looban" were transferred to the new modern house. The rest of the batch 1 housemates, though, thought they were already eliminated. Those who were transferred were Pamu Pamorada, Kevin Fowler, Paco Evangelista, Jaz Manabat, Kim De Guzman and Seichang Ushimi. They were randomly picked by Carlo through a numbered "tampipi" containing a piece of their clothing.

But just when you thought the looban have become a little less chaotic, the six housemates were replaced by seven new housemates who were part of the batch 2 that was introduced tonight. These seven new "looban" housemates were:

Jericho Rodrigo - Ang Hunky Cabalen ng Pampanga
Diane Aquino - Seksi Bossing ng Quezon City
Anatoly Chua - Driver Sweet Father ng Surigao
Casey Austria - Uragon na DJ ng Legaspi
Wendy Tabusalia - Ang Bida Rampadora ng Muntinlupa
Joya Genzola - Bini-Brainy ng Negros Occidental
Eting Busarang - Sekyulele ng Cebu

The rest of the Batch 2 housemates entered the new modern house as "taong grasa" (except for Naprey). They were:

Jessica Connelly - Ang Pinay Snow White ng Taguig
Lordwin Claveria – Maabili-Daddy ng Quezon
Lyn Elimanco - House Maid of Honor ng Surigao
Erika Ariante - Loving Nanayuki ng Bacolod
Unad Hernandez - Maginoong Barako ng Batangas
Steph Enage - Benta Babae ng Leyte
Mark Luz- Ang Model Loverboy ng Quezon City
Naprey Almario - Strong Wheeled Teacher ng Davao

Fans of the reality show will get to watch two PBB shows starting this Monday.

PBB Unli Day, featuring the goings on inside the modern house, comes at 4:30 PM on weekdays and will be hosted by Bianca Gonzales.

PBB Unli Night, on the other hand, will still air at 10:30 PM hosted by Toni Gonzaga. It will feature the housemates of the "looban."
