After their spontaneous declaration of like, it would be expected for Ejay and Val to have more awkward moments than ever. But things turned out the opposite, as this apparently cleared the tension and made both teens more open to taking the opportunities to spend time together. Today found Valerie crying under the sheets, as she missed having a complete family. Since her father already passed away, it was impossible to ever have a full family again. Valerie was happy at the way things were heading tro Linda’s family, but the frustration and reminder of her loss took its toll on the Dazzling Doll. Language did not seem to matter much as Val poured out her sentiments to Ejay, as the Promdi Hottie warmly watched over her and listened. How much of her words he understood was not important, as he seemed to know exactly what she was feeling anyway. Language and grammar aren’t needed for empathy.

The teens continued their preparation for Linda’s tribute. Some practiced their songs while some fixed themselves up into the gorgeous teens that they were. All found time to sneak into the room and sign the humongous homemade card, though, to keep their memories with Linda always. So particular were they as they used different colored markers and even experimented with fancy lettering to make the card even more special. What production numbers did Linda enjoy? Will Josef be exiting the PBB house within the weekend? Watch Primetime Bida tomorrow, right after Lobo, to see how Linda’s exit turned out. Don’t forget: PBB is going live on Primetime, so don’t miss out on the juicy details sure to come your way.

The voting has already been closed at 50, 737 votes as Linda took Kuya’s offer and opted for a voluntary exit.

Priscilla and Nicole, the designated cooks for the day, seemed to experience one disaster after another in the kitchen. First of which was the difficulty of slicing the frozen chicken. The two had to ask their Kuya Jolas to help them out, much to Priscilla’s delight. Next, Pris removed the leaves of the saluyot — their vegetable for the day – while Nicole struggled with chopping the onions. Priscilla tasted their soup a while later and declared it a bit too salty!

The stove gave the girls quite a scare next when it stopped working and gave off a ticking sound. They alarmed the other housemates and soon everyone rushed out in panic. Kuya called all the teens into the confession room and said he will have the stove fixed in a jiffy. 

Meanwhile, Kevin, Alex and Robi got dressed in their mice costumes to practice their weekly task. Robi was anxious winning the task that he repeatedly asked Rona questions about the maze. When the young woman got stumped with his queries, Robi sighed and told her "Walang sisihan," putting a disclaimer on their performance later.  To take off some of the pressure, the three boys choreographed a special dance to the tune of Three Blind Mice. They looked so silly, wriggling their tails and shaking their batons, that the other teens couldn’t help but laugh. 

This is the first time the teens had a little fun after Linda’s voluntary exit from the house yesterday. But is Linda the last of the housemates to leave this week? Will Kevin be able to handle Daddy John’s pressure on him to get circumcised? Will Tita Anna also decide to stay longer for Josef? Don’t miss Uber at 5:30pm and PBB Teen Edition Plus on Primetime Bida for juicy updates on this events!

House-swapping continued as all the teens moved to the former guardians’ area and the guardians moved to the big house. The five isolated girls began jumping for joy when they saw their housemates again. Ejay and Val have their moment again, when Val shared that Daddy erning asked her if she wanted to go to Mindoro and she answered, “Ewan. Siguro.” Ejay shed his torpe issue a little as he says, “Dapat sinabi mo, yes.” Earlier, Sleeping Beauty is awakened, not by Prince Charming, but by Capt. Boom. Former housemate Jon Avila attempted to jumpstart their day, but only succeeded with Beauty, who rushed to brush her teeth as she bluntly pronounced: “I need to kiss him.” And she did.

Kevin wasn’t having such a great morning, though. He awoke to a wet bed (and it was Nikki’s bed, no less), which had him scrambling to wash the sheets and air out the mattress. Ashamed to be bedwetting at his age, he approached Kuya, only to find out that Big Bro understood and didn’t blame him for it. According to resident psych Dr. Randy Dellosa, this could have been caused by stress or tension, a relationship problem, or repressed rebellion. Kevin claimed it was a reaction towards the pressure of his dad’s presence and the nominations. Of course, another big concern is his response to Kuya’s offer that tested his personal convictions. Like Alex, he came from a culture where circumcision is not mandatory. But unlike his housemate, he doesn’t find the need to undergo the procedure. Daddy John tried his hand at convincing his son, even exchanging harsh words with him, but Kevin was firm in his decision. It was such a difficult decision to make, and truly admirable how Kevin stood by his beliefs under pressure, to the point of opting for voluntary exit instead. He couldn’t help but shed tears over it, because he knew people may not like him for his decision: one, because he would be refusing 100 kids a chance to be circumcised and two, it is not common in Pinoy culture. He didn’t want to compromise his beliefs, didn’t want to do it just to be liked (and for a teen, it is hard to risk not being liked) — and it is also because of this conviction that Kuya respected him more and explained that no one is pushing him to do something he doesn’t want. As for the eviction… he can rest easy because someone else made another major decision.

Co-nominee Linda was offered an all-expense paid vacation with her entire family. To all who are tuned in on her family status, her decision is understandable. As much as she wanted to see the PBB experience to the end, she realized that “mas matimbang talaga and pamilya.” Kuya commended her for making a sound decision, and Linda stepped out a grown woman, who needed Mommy Ningning’s back scratches to relax her. Truly Pinoy, Linda chose her family over personal fame. Thus, voting stopped at 50,737 votes and Kevin is saved from eviction.

Is this the last of the voluntary exits? Josef, whose Tita Anna has expressed the desire to leave (with him in tow), has already told Nikki about his probable exit. Like Linda, as much as he wanted to be in Kuya’s house, family is priority. Watch out for more twists and turns in the teleserye ng totoong buhay: PBB Teen Edition Plus!

The competition between Team Robi and Team Josef heated up once again in Uber’s exciting game this afternoon. “Raise Your Feet” required both teams to lie down on their backs with their oil-slicked feet raised up in the air while balancing a palanggana filled with murky water. The team who held their pose the longest will be declared the winner of today’s challenge.

Josef’s team was put to the test first and Robi had the honor of pouring oil all over their feet. They concentrated very hard in balancing the heavy palanggana and timed in at 4 minutes, 50 seconds. Team Robi took their position next and somehow they were able to come up with techniques by observing the previous group. Team Josef looked like they were mentally tipping the basin over while Team Robi struggled to find a position that will help them endure the task longer. But Robi’s team managed to hold the basin up for 14 minutes and 48 seconds, making them today’s Uber champs.

Ejay and Valerie were appointed cooks for the day. The two tried to figure out how to cook okoy squash, a dish completely alien to the German chick. Ejay, who was more used to cooking, explained the recipe to Valerie.  While preparing lunch, the two bonded over trivial things. Valerie was disappointed because her Tita Violy wasn’t there with the other guardians. She was also jealous of the fact that Beauty and Kevin were able to spend some time with her.

When Ejay was left speechless, Valerie steered the conversation to his being tongue-tied around her. She noticed that the hottie from Mindoro becomes silent whenever they talk. She also said that he seems to have lots of stories to tell whenever he converses with the other teens but clams up in front of her. Valerie understands though since there are times that some people simply have nothing to say. However, she still wished aloud that he open up to her. The Dazzling Doll got her wish sooner than expected for Ejay mustered up enough courage to blurt out “I like you”. Valerie was dumbfounded for a second and replied “Ako rin”. An awkward silence succeeded this revelation and they covered it up by talking about random things happening in the house. By the time they got around to cooking their okoy squash, Ejay and Val no longer had this wall between them. They had some problems with their ingredients but were able to work it out.

Will Ejay and Valerie’s friendship pick up from their surprising revelation today? Check out the PBB Multiply Site for updates on these events and Uber at 5:30pm later with Mariel Rodriguez for another exciting game.
