On Uber today, the teens have another surprise visitor aside from Mariel. Ex-PBB teen housemate Joaqui Mendoza was invited by Kuya to do a special task for him. Joaqui had to follow Jayson Gainza’s (PBB Season 1 housemate) instructions through an override inserted in his ear. The teens must not discover that the ex-teen housemate was acting upon the new Kuya’s orders.

Joaqui’s first assignment was to give Valerie a bouquet of flowers. Since the house has undergone several renovations since he was there, the young man was confused as to where the girls’ bedroom was. He accidentally opened the boys’ room much to guys’ wonder and confusion. The ex-housemate smiled sheepishly and hurriedly left the room. When he finally opened the door to the girls’ quarters, the ladies screamed in surprise. He then handed Valerie the flowers and everyone giggled and teased the Dazzling Doll.

If his first challenge was to surprise the teens with a treat, the second was Kuya’s treat for him. Jason ordered Joaqui to retrieve a gift box inside the storage room. He has to open the box in front of the girls and tell them that they can have a piece each, hinting that the might contain chocolates. However, when he ripped the wrapper off the box and opened it, a mouse jumped out and scurried away. Joaqui, who has a big phobia on mice, immediately dropped the box and ran into a corner. Shy was brave enough to pick up the mouse and encouraged the ex-housemate to get over his fear of the harmless creature by touching it. Joaqui eventually gave in to her prodding but the ex-housemate looked like he wanted to throw the poor mouse at the girls. Hmm.. what could Kuya’s surprises mean?

Meanwhile, Uber host Mariel also revealed Big Brother’s third task for the house player. She has to completely annoy a housemate and the names drawn for the audience vote were Ejay’s, Nan’s and Alex’s. Nan was the winner for this afternoon’s poll, making the task a daunting one for Shy. As we all know, Nan’s is a pretty jolly fellow and isn’t easily ticked off by teasing and snide remarks. Also did Shy accomplish her “handcuff Robi” mission yesterday? Catch the results of this and the conflict between the original housemates because of Shy on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus on Primetime after Lobo!

Rona, Josef, and Nicole are this week’s nominees. Who deserves to stay in Kuya’s house? Text BB (name of housemate) and send to 2331 (for Globe, Sun and TM subscribers) or 231 for (Smart and Talk N Text subscribers). Kuyanatics in UAE may also vote by texting BB (name of housemate) and sending it to 4200 (for Etisalat subscribers).

On the house player ng bayan’s first day with the teens, Rona obliged to update Shy with what’s happening inside the house. She also took the chance to get to know the new girl from Pasay and soon they were fast friends. However, Shy seems to have rubbed the other girls the wrong way and often talked in secret about her. First they felt that she has a strong personality and is trying to snag Josef away from Nikki. Beauty also thinks she’s after Alex now, obviously threatened by Shy’s boldness towards the boys. Rona reminded them that they shouldn’t be too judgmental but the other girls alienated her instead since she looked liked she’d rather be with her new friend. Beauty was so affected by Rona taking sides that she shared the issue to her mom. Mommy Carina advised her daughter to stop saying bad things against Rona for she and the other girls would be seen as antagonists.

Beauty relayed her mom’s words to Priscilla and the two cemented a new alliance against Rona and Shy. However their conversation about the matter was cut short when Rona confronted them about the issue. Beauty, without batting an eyelash, said that she was upset with Rona befriending the new girl and it would take time for her to be close with the teen debater.Priscilla also added that as the original housemates they should stick together. Rona apologized then exited the room, unaware that she has offended the other girls. Once Rona was out of earshot, Priscilla told Beauty that the teen debater was probably headed to the confession room to tattle on them. Beauty then remembered her mom’s advice and told Pris that they should take heed of it or else appear to be the mean girls.

On the other hand, Valerie said that she’s for the unity of the girl housemates but she also understands what Rona is going through. She knows that Rona only wanted everyone to be open to Shy and not make her feel out of place. However, Valerie thinks Shy is an attention seeker and said that all the girls should just give the new housemate a cold shoulder.

Will the girls heed Valerie’s advice? How will they resolve this growing dispute? How will Rona face this challenge? Will she continue to side with what she knows to be right? Or will she side with the girls for the sake of friendship? To find out more about this issue, visit the PBB Multiply Site and catch this story later on Uber!

Last Saturday, Kuya held a survey among the housemates, the basis for this week’s immunity game. The guardians had to choose which housemate garnered the most votes in the survey. The categories were mixed. Nikki was perceived to be nagbabait-baitan and pinakamabango, Ejay was thought to be hindi malinis sa katawan and mahina ang utak, Rona was tagged pinaka-OA and Beauty was pinaka-chismosa. Mommy My Love won, granting Nan immunity from this week’s nomination. The guardians couldn’t help but defend their wards. Daddy Erning, for one, shared that Ejay was in fact a consistent first honor student since grade 6.

Meanwhile, House Player ng Bayan Shy was intent on fulfilling her tasks. Though she is not an official housemate and cannot be part of the Big 4, Shy can win prizes by successfully completing the tasks assigned to her. She gets P10,000 per task, and so far she seems to be getting it all done. On her first night, Shy already planted the seed for her task of convincing the teens that she was crushing on Josef. On top of dropping hints, blatantly fishing for info and finding ways to be next to Josef, Shy was also directed to pretend to sleep talk about him. Of all her strategies, this one took the cake and left the girls – especially Nikki – with wide eyes, open mouths and raised eyebrows. Her next task is to handcuff one of the housemates and Robi, with 50.59% of viewers’ votes, was chosen to be that housemate. Will Shy be able to pull this task off as well?

The nominations cannot be avoided any longer. The top nominee of the guardians, with 5 votes, was Josef. He was also the top nominee of the housemates, with 11 votes. Already his fourth nomination, will the Lethal Lasallite keep his luck and survive another week? From the girls, Rona got 4 votes and Nikki got 8 votes, getting the second and third spot on the nomination list. Will the Nicosef tandem hold up, or will Rona’s good intentions see her through?

To save your fave housemate, either vote online or text BB (name of housemate) and send it to 2331 (for Globe, Sun and TM subscribers) or 231 for (Smart and Talk N Text subscribers). Kuyanatics in UAE may also now vote by texting BB (name of housemate) and sending it to 4200 (for Etisalat subscribers).

In the confession room, Big Brother told Shy that she succeeded in her first task as a house player.But with her achievement comes the next challenge of handcuffing a housemate without his or her knowledge.Uber host Mariel Rodriguez drew names out of a fishbowl and the people had to vote who between Robi, Valerie and Alex will become Shy’s victim tonight. By the end of the show, Robi got 50% of the votes followed by Alex, who got 32.85% and then Valerie, who got 16.56%.

Meanwhile in the activity area, the housemates tried their hands at the challenging Fulcrum Table game, this week’s task.With their helmets, shoulder pads, and knee pads, four players at a time have to balance themselves on top of the shaky platform. Once they find a stable position, the four players must aim to make a full turn counterclockwise without a member falling off the table. Aside from that, each player must switch places with the housemate across him or her.

Josef, Ejay, Beauty, and Alex were the first to try out the game.It took the four teens some time to balance themselves. Being the only girl in the team, Beauty couldn’t help her self from screaming every time the table moved. The four fell off the huge “top” eventually without accomplishing the task. In the second round, Nan was joined by Priscilla, Robi, and Valerie.The four tried their best to finish their turn, but they soon discover that balancing was not as easy as it looked.Will the teens succeed at this task?

Meanwhile, be sure to catch Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus after Lobo for the full details of Shy’s first task.Most importantly, find out who will be this week’s set of new nominees in PBB Teen Edition Plus’s 5^th nomination night.

Rona and Priscilla were later joined by the other girls in the bedroom for a private talk.  The Positive Girl was very much concerned with the entrance of Shy in Kuya’s house.  Rona sensed that the latest addition was sent for a particular reason, and that was to test the bond that they have had after more than six weeks of being together.  Priscilla also shared the dream she had about the housemates getting torn because of Shy, with some taking the masked lady’s side while the others were against her.  Rona later raised her concern on Shy’s confession regarding a crush for Josef, finding the Lasallite cute, hot, and interesting.  The other girls also thought that maybe, Shy’s first task was to test the growing bond between Nicole and Josef, and Rona reminded the In-Chick not to let herself be provoked by Shy’s actions.  In the end, they all made a pact that whatever happens, their bond will remain strong.

Meanwhile, Shy was left in the company of the guys, some of whom were guarding the chicken grill outside.  Contrary to the antagonistic vibe that the girls were getting from her, the newest house player seemed to be having a great time with the boys.  Shy showcased her expertise with the playing cards to Alex, Nan, and Robi, while the rest ogled at the sight of the new girl whose face remained hidden behind an eyemask.  Probably it’s the mystery that kept the guys’ eyes on her, or it’s just the nature of adolescent men to get excited whenever they get to meet a new lady.

The girls later came out of the room one by one, and Nicole called Josef for a serious talk.  The Lasallite however felt uncomfortable with his smoky odor, but the In-Chick seemed to be eager to clarify matters with him.  Nicole told Josef about the girls’ suspicion about Shy, that the new lass arrived with a task to test their friendship and that the special bond of the NicoSef tandem was first on the to-do list.  Nicole was rather concerned on how Josef would take Shy’s revelation regarding a deep crush for him.  Josef, on the other hand, preferred to be friendly to Shy, and so Nicole thought that Josef was taking advantage of the situation.  But the Lasallite said that there was nothing to worry about, and that if Shy indeed has a task, it was still all up to them if they will let themselves be affected or not. 

Are the housemates really okay sharing the house with Shy?  Where will her first task lead to?  Find out more this afternoon in Uber, and also, catch what will be Big Brother’s second task for the new house player.  Also, watch Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus tonight for the live announcement of the new set of nominees.

The teens share their dinner with new housemate, Shy. It was quite obvious how the teens were clumped nearer to each other and kept a safe distance from the newcomer. They plied her with random questions, in an attempt to figure out her identity. Asked about her nickname, she honestly replied, “House Player”, and explained where the term came from. In poker, whenever a game lacked a player, the game house sends an in-house employee to play in the empty spot, thus the term “house player”.

Shy went to the Confession Room several times already, and in her absence, the housemates gathered to discuss her presence. On one such moment, the teens got out the rule book and looked up the regulations on new housemates. This led to wondering about their duration in the house, whether or not the season was extended. Priscilla said that they’d stay only until the 18^th or 25^th of May.Pris then shared her vision with the others, scaring a few. She had a dream about a cake with 10 candles, 8 of which were lit in white and 2 were red in flames. She warned the rest about bad things to come, though Robi opted to shrug it off. She had her apprehensions about Shy, saying that she sensed conflict the moment she saw her. One of them will take her side and there will be trouble. The girls became worried, and Priscilla even more so.

The fact that Shy refused to take her mask off just added to the mystery surrounding her. Rona was first in orienting her about the house rules, especially with the recent changes. Rona noticed that Shy led an independent life, quite different from the rest of them. Asked for her reason for being in the house, Shy said it was because she needed money. She wasn’t rich, she claimed, and was in fact working already. She was no longer in school, because she didn’t like studying. During the course of the conversation, Shy injected her apparent crush on Josef. Every so often, she would fish for info on him and drop comments on his appeal: Are Josef and Nikki an item? What is he like? Doesn’t he have a cute nose? He’s hot, isn’t he? Shy shared that she’s single and available, and her soon-to-be boyfriend is Josef. She also wanted to be permanently seated next to Josef. Contrary to her name, she instantly managed to find ways of striking a conversation with the others.

Her crushing on Josef was instantly obvious, especially to Nikki. Without being told, Nikki already felt Shy had a crush on Josef because of the way she looked at him and because Shy took over her chair, which was next to Josef. Earlier, Nikki and Josef were talking and Josef was teasing her about wanting to hug Shy, the way she allowed Alex to hug her. At this, Nikki cringed and recalled Alex’s story of dreaming about Beauty, as this turned her off. Conversation wandered off to laziness, as both were tagged to be lazy. Nikki said she was probably lazy with chores, but was active in the tasks. Josef was the other way around.

Will Shy be able to succeed in her first task? If so, at what and whose expense? Is there any truth in Priscilla’s visions? What effects will Shy have on the relationships within the house?

Outside Kuya’s house, all are gathered awaiting the entrance of the House Player ng Bayan. This special housemate will not be controlled by Kuya but by – guess who? — the audience! The boses ng bayan will be given special tasks to complete, and her move will be decided by the viewers’ text votes. For each successful task, she will receive P10, 000. Since the House Player and the audience work hand-in-hand, a lucky texter will receive half of the pot money at the end.

Truly a kakontsaba ng bayan, the House Player was mingled in the crowd of masked Kuyanatics. Luis escorted Shy from the crowd up the stage and Mariel gave her lapel and luggage. As soon as Shy entered the house, she already had one task: to not have her identity discovered and her whole face revealed. If so, out she goes. This week, she would have 5 tasks to complete. Her first task would be to pretend that she has a crush on one of the housemates. The Kuyanatics have spoken, and the verdict is: Josef, with 53.72% of the votes!

Last Thursday night, the teens had a pajama party with surprise houseguests: Mariel, Bianca and Luis. Kuya felt that it would be good for them to share their experiences with the teens. The girls were called into the Confession Room where Mariel and Bianca were waiting for them, complete with milk and cookies. Luis went to the boys room and lured them to the kitchen with bowls of popcorn. The topic for this boys/girls night is… boys and girls! Nikki and Valerie were the popular answers for their first crushes. Nikki and Rona were the top two for who smelled good. Valerie admitted that she liked Ejay, though probably not as much as he feels for her. Ejay, who was blushing as they talked about his declaration of love, was ribbed for his ka-torpehan. Nikki shared that though there may be a possibility to carry on relationships inside the house, it’s surely difficult outside. Bianca and Mariel, playing the ate role to the hilt, both believed that, at the end of the day, the next move would still be a personal choice. Luis reminded Josef that he’d have to make up his mind at some point. Afterwards, Bianca and Mariel wanted to share more advices, especially with Nikki, and Luis felt honored to be trusted with the boys’ answers. 

One of the topics – who had bad breath – that started out as a joke blew up to be an issue. After the pajama party, Priscilla kept on hinting at it and Rona took her aside. Rona was concerned because she felt Pris was already being mean, and it wasn’t right to keep on keeping inside jokes that was bound to hurt another. Pris got offended with this, feeling that Rona didn’t trust her and was insulting her intelligence. Rona eventually cried since this wan’t her intention, and didn’t want to hurt people. After some time, the two girls were already hugging and all was well once more.

Jolas and Kevin, along with Daddy Ike and Daddy John, were present in tonight’s show to distribute the bags of rice that the teen housemates painstakingly repacked and weighed. As always, even Kuya’s punishments come to a good end. 

The initial welcome of the housemates was warm enough, but how will they be once Shy begins her viewer-controlled tasks? Will Shy be able to keep up the masquerade? Check out the updates on the official PBB website and Multiply blogs. Keep watching PBB Teens Plus on Uber and Primetime Bida, as things definitely heat up!
