Upon their entrance inside the house, Jieriel and Priscilla found an instant connection with one another being ‘mag-kababayans’ from Davao. But friendships that start right does not always have a smooth outcome. Living under one roof for only a few days, Jieriel already found some of Priscilla’s habits irksome. What really ticked Jieriel off is Priscilla’s disregard of wasting food and the way she played during the BasketPool game. She decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with her first friend inside the house and Priscilla seemed to see the sincerity behind her actions. However, the two further clashed as the days passed by.

Apparently Jieriel being one of the designated chefs in the house manned the kitchen area like it was in her own home. She even tracked what the housemates ate and discovered that Priscilla was using the soy sauce excessively. She warned Priscilla to use it sparingly for not only were their supplies meager, it was also bad for her health. The differently-abled girl on the other hand took this negatively and told Valerie that Jieriel was making a big deal out of the soy sauce. She even told Val that she was quite relieved when Jieriel, Beauty, Josef and Kevin left the other night making it easier for her to talk to Jolas. After their talk, the two found Jieriel cooking adobong kangkong for dinner. The petite teen suddenly started lecturing the two about the consequence of eating too much soy sauce which further annoyed Priscilla. She tasted the simmering viand on the stove after and found it awful, throwing the remaining piece of vegetable in the trashcan.

Valerie and Priscilla retreated once more to the pool side where the subject of nominations came up. Priscilla openly told the Valerie who she’s going to give her two points to tomorrow. They were so carried away with the conversation that they totally forgot Kuya’s major rule of not talking about the nominations. Could this get the best friends in trouble?

Adding to the housemates problems is their unsuccessful execution of the algorithm dance this afternoon. With the housemates losing yet another weekly task, could this get them crankier and more wary of each other? Get updated on these events later on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus on Primetime Bida with Toni and Luis.

It’s almost two weeks since the teens entered Kuya’s humble abode and the pressure of belonging to the group and staying on for another week is getting real high. Kuya with the help of their guardians remind the teens not to forget who they are and the things that they value.

The guardians were tasked to design t-shirts that contained images and words symbolizing something significant in their children’s lives. Then Kuya called Linda and tasked her to present the t-shirts to her fellow housemates. The teens were to evaluate each shirt in terms of creativity and the design’s relevance. Beauty, Jieriel, Kevin and Josef though were exempted from this task.

The boys easily decided on the shirts they wanted but the girls took a little time in choosing their picks. Ejay insisted on the ladies that they include a particular shirt – a boat surrounded by water. The girls thought it was too plain but Ejay expressed that its substance should be given priority over creativity. Clues as to who made the designs were all over the shirts. Robi’s dad painted the words “One Big Fight,” while Kevin’s dad had the word “Espanya” on his. Ejay’s dad drew the boat on the shirt and when Ejay was up for show and tell, he explained that the shirt he picked was heavy with meaning as it reminded him of Mindoro, the place where he grew up. While teenagers in the city were driving cars, he was the captain of their small boat, the means which he and his father earned a living.

One of the teen’s favorite shirts was the one with a design of a staircase and a gold star at its top. They all agreed that everyone has to go through steps before reaching their goal. Shirts that expressed father-and-son teamwork were also a favorite among the boys who all share a close relationship with their fathers. Shirts that had the words trust, values, commitment, and respect were also chosen by the housemates since it reminded them of how they should treat people. They know these are the values that they should bring along as they go through their journey as a housemate. Love was a favorite topic among the teens and they also chose the tee with a heart design. In the end, all agreed that friendship, companionship, trust, fidelity and commitment were important values they should keep. The task was then successful in keeping the teens grounded.

The housemates woke up early today in anticipation of their algorithm dance performance later. They all proceeded to the storage room to retrieve their breakfast and props for the presentation. Jolas, as the leader of the task, reminded everyone that they should dance with feelings and with a smile. Josef incorporated his version of the algorithm dance which made their moves more dynamic with a smoother transition to each step. Everyone was psyched, including the four returning housemates who went missing in action last night. However, there were still problems with their synchronization so they practiced for hours with only a few breaks in between. Alex sadly wouldn’t be able to join them since he is still recuperating from his operation.

The girls seem to be more excited with wearing their Hawaiian costumes. The boys, who only had "smiley" shorts for their costumes, offered to cook lunch to give the girls more time to primp themselves up. The girls took advantage of this and fussed on their hair and make-up. Even the conservative Rona couldn’t contain her excitement as she tried on the huge earrings provided as part of their costume, stuff which she doesn’t usually wear. Linda also remembered Beauty’s apprehensiveness on sleeveless tops so she offered her foundation to help the girl cover up.

The housemates appear to be confident in their algorithm dance. Will they finally win in their second task and bring home the house budget? Catch your favorite teen housemates in their dynamic algorithm dance later on Uber and on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus on Primetime!

The housemates were hanging out by the pool when they started wondering what was on the other side of the wall. Apparently, they’ve been hearing noises from there. Others guessed that there was a shooting going on, and for a while, it seemed like they were figuring out how to take a peek. Just in time, the song “Torpe” played and this diverted their attention back to Ejay.

Ejay was still having a hard time having a normal conversation with Valerie. He said that he has a hard time talking to beautiful women, feeling insecure. This shyness is heightened because he once offered a coconut to Germany’s lass as part of task. Nan, who considers himself the closest to Ejay, helped him with his tongue-tied situation. Nan has been spending a lot of time with Valerie, but he assured Ejay that he would step aside instantly, once he gets up the nerve to talk to her. He warns Ejay that it was coming to the point that Valerie felt Ejay did not like being with her since he obviously avoids crossing paths with the dazzling doll. This worried Ejay, and he blamed himself for his so-called stupidity.

For all his talk, Nan wasn’t having an easy time with the girls either because of the boys’ blatant teasing of him to Nikki. Josef even tricked Nan to go out of the boys bedroom by mentioning that Nikki was outside. Nan also shrinked in a corner when the in-chick walked into the living room a while later.  Reading her book, Nikki took eveything in stride. Valerie and Priscilla asked the others what the non-stop laughter was about, and Nan shrugs it off as a nonsensical prank. Ejay and Josef were bullying him and he was doing the same to Ejay in turn, by giving him the cold treatment, just to see his reaction. It didn’t last long, though, for all three boys were teasing each other soon enough. It’s a good thing all three were good sports and knew how to have a good laugh.

Will there be any progress on these “love teams”? As the week draws to a close and nominations are just around the corner, will there be more friction between the housemates?

Finally, Alex is now an official binata! With the help of Daddy Boy and Mommy Jinky, who is a nursing grad, the circumcision was set to take place. Up to the last minute, the boys thought that Josef was the one performing the pukpok method on Alex. Kuya gave Alex one more chance to back out, but he bravely stuck to his decision to be a man, the Pinoy way. In a secret room, as Alex was lying down, he admitted he was even more scared of the injection of anesthesia. He opted to have the other boys present for moral support. Out in the activity area, 100 boys were also about to cross over to adolescence, thanks to the volunteer resident surgeons and interns of Capitol Med. No worries, boys… as Doc Boy says, “Parang kagat ng langgam lang!” Uh… how big is this proverbial ant, exactly?

To show their support further, all the boys wore skirts and walked funny. Since it was a potentially humiliating situation for Alex, the other boys also pretended to have the post-op pains to prevent the girls from teasing. They exited the Confession Room in a line, and Jieriel guessed the reason at once, since summer was tuli season. Mommy Minda was in on the secret, and was ready to give a safe answer to the girls when they asked about it. Kuya challenged the girls to figure out who had the circumcision done, and after observing them a bit, the vote was 3 for Ejay, 3 for Jolas and 1 for Alex (though the one vote of Jieriel was counted for someone else, since she couldn’t make up her mind about Alex). Afterwards, the boys spilled the truth, with the condition that all understand Alex’s position and that he be treated normally. Because of Alex’s courage and the boys’ unwavering support, Kuya gives in to their request for a guitar.

As night comes, Josef and Beauty cross over through the door marked “Off Limits” to the secret abode of the guardians. The condition of Kuya was: Neither the housemates nor the guardians can find out about their secret task. Beauty instantly recognized her mom’s slippers, since she gave them herself. Her mom was under the sheets, but Beauty was sure it was her. She began ruffling through the laundry to try to find anything that belonged to her mom, but wasn’t able to find anything. The entire time, Beauty’s tears were flowing non-stop, and she felt it was unfair that some were given the opportunity to be with their parents while all she could see were slippers. Kuya then gave her five minutes to grab her mom’s slippers and another five because she had to retrieve her own slippers, which she thoughtfully left so her mom could use them.

The next night, they were again allowed to go in the guardians’ house. Josef and Beauty tactfully led the others to an early sleep. At the right time, they woke up Kevin and Jieriel, the two housemates they chose to share the privilege with them. Kevin broke down when he saw his dad. Jieriel, since she just saw her dad during the grad, didn’t give in to tears, but still felt the urge to hug Daddy Gerry. Josef served as the lookout who made sure that no one over-extended their stay.
