3 days of practicing their cheer and the teens believed they were all set for today’s competition. Unfortunately, Robi sprained an arm in an Uber game and last night Alex had to be rushed to hospital. Jolas couldn’t also participate in the cheer dance due to stomachache.

Early this morning Kuya allowed the teens to practice for an hour. Priscilla’s team had the activity area all to themselves and they danced up a storm. Meanwhile, Team Rona had the house but it felt empty with their missing member, Alex. Robi couldn’t dance with his troop as well since he sprained his arm. Though he and Alex had many plans for the team such as drumstick exhibitions and moonwalks, they couldn’t push through with this anymore. He was then left to provide moral support to his team and overlook their choreography.

Ejay had problems of his own since he couldn’t catch up with Rona and Beauty. Rona allayed his anxiety by saying that he didn’t have to be synchronized with them. It was then all up to Rona and Beauty to carry the show and aim for the win. When they thought that this would be the last of their problems, their costumes were given and Beauty was terribly disappointed. It wasn’t what she imagined and wearing it stripped off her confidence. However, there was no time for disappointments and tears since Kuya called them all to activity area for the much awaited competition.

The first to present their routine was determined by a jack en poy game between their captains, Rona and Priscilla. Rona’s team went first and the two girls and Ejay went into formation. Robi bit his lip scrutinizing if each step hit their mark. Team Priscilla was up next and they were perky and confident in their red and white costume. Though Josef commented that they missed a few steps, the team was able to deliver.

The two teams awaited Kuya’s decision and clutched their teammate’s hand in fear and anticipation. Finally after days of training, the official One Team, One Summer, One Drink Cheerleading choreographers is Priscilla’s team! The gang scored the best in choreography, teamwork, cooperation and costume.

Though the competition is over and they could all leave it behind them, the housemates still wondered on Alex’s whereabouts. Will the Italian Valentino return in time for the 24-hour rule or will he be the next evictee? See the teens’ performance and know Alex’s whereabouts later on Uber!

Ejay had decided to make his feelings to Valerie known, so he asked help from Daddy Erning, who was more than willing to pass on courtship strategies to his eldest. Also in on the secret were Ejay’s closest teen housemate and Daddy Erning’s best guardian bud, Nan and Daddy Ike. Both shared the excitement and readily offered their two cents in. While the housemates were sleeping, the Fabulous Four set up the pool area for the traditional harana. Ejay looked fantastic in the classic barong and the rest were traditional harana-istas in their camisa chinos with matching colorful bandannas. Nan was tasked to wake Valerie up with a single white rose. Fortunately, the Dazzling Doll did not put up a fuss and willingly went with Nan. Once she stepped out on the pool area, Daddy Erning started playing the guitar and Daddy Ike led in the singing of a traditional harana song. Ejay, who was sitting on the bench, joined in, directing his attention to Val who sat by him. Ejay handed her three more white roses, and the two were left alone. For starters, Ejay fed Val some pasta and offered her juice. They later shared a slow danceOverwhelmed with emotions, Valerie started laughing and ended up crying. She felt so special, she said, and no one has ever done anything remotely similar for her. She reiterated that her tears were of extreme joy and not of sadness, making sure that Ejay understood. Ejay dared to take it further: “Matagal ko nang alam. Matagal ko nang nararamdaman. Napapansin mo naman yata.” Silence. Then, a whispered “I love you.”

Right after his revelation, uncertainty crept up on Ejay once again as he told Valerie that he hoped she doesn’t avoid him because of it. This prompted the Dazzling Doll to reiterate her gratitude and joy at the gesture. To Kuya, Ejay reported with a shy smile, “Mukhang may pag-asa.”

Nikki and Josef don’t have such luck, though. On the contrary, Mommy Sandy was allowed by Kuya to spend the night in the teens’ area. She again expressed concern over the growing intimacy of the two and asked Kuya to keep an eye on them. She wanted to observe Nikki first, allow her to make mistakes and learn from them. That way, she’d learn for herself. The moment she stepped in the teens’ house, all teens felt the charged atmosphere. So concrete was it that they chose to stay in their respective rooms, away from Nikki, Josef and Mommy Sandy. Mother and daughter have another talk, after Nikki was caught washing clothes near the swimming Josef (who wouldn’t get out of the pool for fear of Mommy Sandy). Mommy Sandy again told Nikki to stop being affectionate to Josef. Nikki denied having a boyfriend in Cebu, but her mom was adamant that she act respectably, especially with her dad’s birthday coming up and the fact that the entire country was watching her. They manage a few stolen conversations, but Mommy Sandy nipped this in the bud by popping up now and then. Josef joined Rona and Beauty in praying the rosary, and Mommy Sandy sits in before sleeping beside Nikki. The next day, Mommy Sandy headed back to the guardians’ area, but not before reminding Nikki to act appropriately. There were people getting hurt outside, people they made commitments to that they had to honor. To Kuya, Mommy Sandy explained that if they truly wanted to be together, then they have to clear themselves of prior commitments first. An hour after, though, Nikki approached Josef, but he chose to go for a swim with Jolas instead. Stolen glances were exchanged by the two lovebirds for the remainder of the day.

Despite this undercurrent of tension, the teens had tasks to accomplish. Kuya relegates leadership to Rona and Priscilla for the Coke cheer task. By the end of the allotted 30 minutes of practice, Team Rona (formerly Team Robi) had divided responsibilities and were well on their way. Team Priscilla (formerly Team Josef) had a mix-up as all had contradicting inputs. Ejay and Val, on the other hand, were such a tandem in acting the part of European roosters, crowing “Kikiriki!” to wake the teens up.

It’s Alex’ monthsary with his girlfriend, a very important occasion for the Italian Valentino. Beauty rattles the idyllic setting as she declares her crush on Alex. What complications will arise from this? Will Josef and Nikki finally figure out a way to control their emotions? Was Ejay’s harana enough to level up his relationship with Valerie? Which team will win the cher challenge? Stay updated by watching as their stories unfold on Uber and Primetime Bida!

The teens played Volleypool, PBB style. Team Josef had already won several games in a row and were determined to beat Team Robi. Jolas once again acted as the referee.

Team Josef was the first to serve and soon commanded a big lead over their opponent. Team Robi was able to play catch up and scored 28 points. However, their victory was short-lived as Team Josef managed to clock in 36 points and emerge as winners. 

The teens also played a "Where in the World" game. A map was placed in the confession room and the teens had to guess from what part of the world their fellow housemates came from. Alex mistook Luzon for Mindanao while Valerie confused Spain for France. In the end, Robi and Nicole proved to be more knowledgeable than their fellow housemates when each got six correct answers.

Ejay, who placed last in the map game, emerged as a winner of sorts when he had to court Valerie Pinoy-rooster style. The two had been tasked to become roosters who had to keep the housemates up. Ejay had the extra task of courting Valerie the rooster way. He circled Valerie a number of times and crowed like crazy. He was so hilarious that Valerie couldn’t help but laugh hysterically.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Josef’s friendship became strained with Nicole’s Mommy Sandy threat of a voluntary exit should her daughter pursue a relationship with him. Will the sheltered In-Chick choose to follow her mom’s advice or to pursue a romance with her housemate? And how will Josef and Mommy Sandy receive her decision? To know the answers to these, tune in to Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus on Primetime!

Rona and Jolas were the bearer of bad news as they relayed the bigas punishment for moving the table in the guardians’ area to the rest of the housemates. Priscilla, Valerie and Beauty were spared from the task but the rest had to fill 50 paper bags with husked rice using only chopsticks. The teens had to be extra careful and make sure that not a grain would be wasted. If they do not accomplish this by tomorrow, they would receive worse punishment.

The first batch of teens to do the task was Rona, Jolas and Nicole. They immediately positioned themselves around the sack of rice and went to work. Alex, Robi and Nan, who were supposed to be part of the next batch, helped them and assisted in transferring the uncooked rice. Unfortunately for them, the rice spilled and scattered on the floor. They then had to pick it up one by one with their chopsticks.

Actually, this was not the only penalty from Kuya that the housemates were serving today. First, Rona received a tilaok punishment as a reprimand for helping Chicken Ejay and Chicken Valerie in waking up the teens. The young debater has to crow like a rooster at the end of every line she speaks. Second, Robi was called into the confession room this morning and was told that everyone is restricted from drinking C2, Coke and eating Nissin until further notice. The housemates seemed to be forgetting their veggies again and had a lot of spoiled food in the refrigerator so Kuya deemed that they deserved another punishment. The teens felt miserable and Rona tried to cheer them up by saying they could always load up on chips should they feel hungry.

The clock is ticking and there are still more bags to fill. Will the teens be able to accomplish the task in time? Will they survive on chips and water for food? Check out more on this story later on Uber and get up-to-the-minute updates by logging in to the PBB Multiply Site!

After Uber, the teens still hung out in the pool, enjoying the big inflatable mattresses. Josef, on the other hand, missed out on bath time as he tackled kitchen duty and took charge of chopping ingredients, sprinkling spices and even spreading flour on the counter. Robi and Beauty took over with a dish of their own afterwards. After dinner, the teens separated into two groups: one stayed inside the house to attend to their weekly task that involved RC cars, while the other practiced their group dance with Coke bandannas tied around their heads. This was for their additional task where the housemates were again divided into Team Josef and Team Robi. The two were very much into cheers and school spirit in their alma maters, being part of their respective pep squads, and their expertise would now be put to the test as they lead their teams to do a cheer of ABS-CBN’s summer theme song: One Team, One Summer and Coke’s Ang Sarap Dito. After being together for so long, the members of each team were reshuffled and all had to re-adjust. Team Robi was first to occupy the activity area. They had already planned their routine, with Rona in charge of twirling and movement while Robi took charge of formations, transitions and the band. After practice, the teens settled down to a game of Uno, their favorite pastime since the season started.

Tita Anna, who was then in the teens’ area, was told to go back. She had an earlier tiff with Mommy Carina, but was fortunately spared from giving details to Kuya — for now. She told Kuya that she had to focus on what she was going to tell Josef. As she talked to Mommy Sandy, though, she spoke her mind of the character of Mommy Carina and even compared her to Daddy John. Her former ally against the Spanish guardian was now the one she was having trouble with. 

Back in the guardians’ area, too, were Ejay and Nan. After the traditional harana and Ejay’s declaration of love, the Promdi Hottie was unsure of his next move. According to Val, he should follow his heart, which the four guys (Ejay, Nan, Daddy Erning and Daddy Ike) took to be a good sign. Ideas were thrown around, with the two elders sharing their experiences and “expertise”. Daddy Erning first pushed Daddy Ike to give suggestions, as he claims he never had to court anyone. A certified chickboy, as Ejay claimed. He was the one who suggested that Ejay give a card and rose, even acting out how to say things. He suggested that Ejay ask Valerie if he had a chance so he wouldn’t be waiting for nothing and would know where he stood with her, but the rest contradicted this as it would be too aggressive. Daddy Ike was more romantic. He suggested a heart-to-heart talk as well, but with a subtler theme. The technique, he claimed, is to find out what she likes and do them, to attract her first. Then follow-up with a little white lie (the thought of which had Ejay cringing): tell her that he dreamt of her leaving him,and the thought was too hard to bear it moved him to tears; he didn’t want that moment to come. If Ejay would push through with it, time will tell. He and Val were up to be the next roosters and they spent time practicing a short skit. Ejay had Val laughing hard as he imitated roosters and chickens, and Val gamely followed.

Nikki and Josef were again apart. Josef deliberately went out of Nikki’s way. Beauty, in relaying Josef’s sentiments because Nikki was again bothered, told Nikki that Josef was doing this to help her patch things up with her mom. Yet, he realized that this was not the best way, so they should talk. This scenario seems like a repeat performance of yesterday, though.

If Beauty was the bridge of Nikki and Josef, Rona was the mediator/ translator of Beauty and Alex. Beauty finally confessed that she had a crush on the Italian Valentino, but tried keeping distance because she respected Alex’ relationship with his girlfriend. She hugged everyone because she didn’t want to be choosy with her treatment of housemates, but it’s different if you do it to someone you liked. Alex was obviously baffled, though, and did not really know what to say to the emotional Beauty, even if Rona was actually the one talking for her. It was quite a set-up, as all three were present and both Beauty and Alex were talking to Rona who had to repeat everything both said. Beauty (via Rona) explained that it was a risk for her to expose her emotions, because of a bad past and fear of judgment, but she chose to do so for their issue to be resolved. Alex understood the difficulty, but was still confused as to what exactly was expected of him. Rona explained to Beauty – who was then exasperated with Alex’ silence — that not everyone was as frank as her, and that in time, Alex would speak up.

Will Tita Anna get into another row with a guardian? Will the Beauty-Alex rift ever go back to their previous close friendship? Will Ejay and Valerie finally have a sure status? How long can Nikki and Josef stay apart? Know the answers to these and more by watching Uber and Primetime Bida. Entries are still welcome until May 10 for the Sikat sa Haircut contest!
