World of Big Brother Blog

This is Dan, the blogger of several USA shows.

I am here to announce the end of my blogging, mainly because I’m in a new environment that will have me completely out of touch with television access. I will never-or very unlikely get an oppotunity to watch television shows for a while. So, we could still look forward to hearign someone else bring up the rear for any show. Please let Graham know if you’re interested in blogging for either SurvivorUS, The Amazing Race US, Big Brother US, Celebrity Apprentice, I’m A Celebrity US, or any other show followed by WoBB.

Again, it’s been one year too today since I got on the blog, and I really wish things were better for me, so yes, I’m officially ending my blogging for the shows on WoBB.

EDIT: If you haven’t already voted, please vote in the poll for who you want to be the big winner.

5 days to go.. and yes!! its the Big Date on he BIG NIGHT!

but before we reach the end, Big Brother prepared a bucket of twists and happenings that we should wait!. and 1st on the list is the BIG DEBATE.

Sunday’s episode is all about the Live telecast of the Big Debate between the Big 5 (which the housemates still don’t know about that twist)

the Big Debate was moderated by the moderator Ms. Korina Sanchez, a veteran newscaster of the Philippines.

Since the first season of Pinoy Big Brother, the Big Debate has been an event to look forward to. It has been a good source of reasons to aid the viewers in choosing a deserving Big Winner. For tonight, Ms. Korina Sanchez served as their moderator. She presented five propositions, with each housemate being given a specific time to answer. The buzzer sound signified the end of their time, and they had to vut their responses then. She reminded the housemates to take the debate seriously, as this would weigh heavily on how the viewers would perceive them, and in effect, may make or break the percentage of votes.

Proposition #1: Why do you deserve to be hailed as the season’s Big Winner? For the first question, they were given a full minute to answer, though all were too tongue-tied to make full use of their time.

Paul Jake started by saying that he believed he had been able to stay true to himself. Inside and outside of Kuya’s house, people would find him the same. He entered the house determined to win, and with the same determination, he hopes to see it through. Talking fast, Melisa reasoned that she remained true to herself as well. She took pride in whoever she was, and it was because of this that she was able to surpass the challenges posed her. She worked hard to get to this point, and still believed in dreaming big. Tibo was next, and he shared that he let his true self be known, and despite the setbacks that his age brought, he was able to hold his own in the various tasks. Jason took his sweet time trying to search for the right words. He explained that although he was often quiet and a prankster, he was sincere. Whatever he says and does, he does so whole-heartedly. The last one in line, Johan prided himself in being real and staying strong. He did not find the need to change himself to be liked, and faced the trials head-on.

Proposition #2: Who among the remaining housemates does not need to be the Big Winner? For this, they were given 30 seconds to answer and, after all have stated their responses, another 30 seconds for rebuttal.

Melisa and Johan chose Paul Jake, with the reason that he was already well-off and would not appreciate the prize as much as the others. The remaining three chose Johan, stating that he alreasy achieved his dream by winning the house and lot in the endurance game. Likewise, the three also were united in contesting Melisa and Johan’s choice. Paul Jake defended himself by sharing that they all went in PBB as equals, leaving everything behind and bringing only themselves. Jason backed this up by saying that they all went through the hassle of auditioning, they all faced the same challenges. In short, they all were equals. Tibo reasoned that Paul Jake also worked hard at the game and, with the new house, Johan has already achieved his dream at a young age. Melisa stuck by her initial choice, saying that Johan still would need money. Johan, in turn, defended himself by saying they all had equal chances in winning the house. He was just lucky to win it, and it was not enough reason to make him undeserving of the top spot.

For the third question, they were only given 30 seconds to speak. Proposition #3: Who among the housemates is not being true to himself/herself?

Tibo and Paul Jake both voted for Jason, though for different reasons. Tibo reasoned that it was because Jason gave up his dream house, even if he really wanted it. Paul Jake was quite positive, sharing that the “astig” Jason was just a front; in truth, he was a soft-hearted guy. Whether because he wanted to get back at him or not, Jason opted for Tibo, because he did not understand on which side Tibo was on. Johan and Melai voted likewise. Johan reasoned that Tibo would give advices that he himself failed to follow, while Melai believed he should have fought for his spot in the Big 4, instead of putting himself down.

Proposition #4: Who among the housemates did the most shameful actions?

Jason again turned against Tibo, because though he says things should be done without hurting others, he also causes hurt to the other housemates. Paul Jake was reminded of Melai’s loss of control over her words and actions while she was drunk, thus choosing her. Johan, Tibo and Melai had one answer: Jason. Johan and Tibo reasoned that Jason’s disregard for instructions eventually cause the team’s loss. He also regretted his actions too late, and caused his housemates to suffer the consequences of his actions on several occasions. Melai’s reasons were more personal. She felt that his habit of touching himself in places, his exposure of his bottom, and his stinky feet were shameful enough.

The last proposition gave the housemates another full minute to respond. Proposition #5: What is your most significant contribution inside the house?

Johan interpreted the question in general. He stated the group’s involvement in charity work and environmental concerns to be his signifivant contribution. Paul Jake believed his supposed arrogance, if not misinterpreted, could be viewed as a good thing. Because of his optinism, believing that they can see things through, they all were motivated to be positive thinkers. Melisa prided herself in her ability to give joy to the group. She also rejected negative vibes and pushed the belief that they should enjoy and find reason to laugh. Tibo’s constant belief in Big Brother was something that he believed made a difference. Another thing is his treatment of his housemates. His service to his housemates, such as making sure he kept the house clean and prepared food, was fruit of his treating them as family. Despite the hurtful comments, he chose to stay patient and understanding instead of taking offense. Most of all, he took pride in being able to teach Johan how to pray. Jason’s reasons were simple. His simplicity and genuine friendship were some f his reasons. He also could not restrain himself from sharing that he gave up his dream house for Johan, who appeared as though he was in more need of it.

The current votes’ status was also revealed as shown in the picture.

as what the Monday’s episode showed, a big ROMANTIC HAPPENING took place and shook the public’s tv!

but before i jump to that, i’ll first discussed what happened right after the debate was closed.

Ms. Korina played and bonded with the housemates. She danced with the housemates with the korean hit dance song, “NOBODY”. (She seemed to be updated with the happenings inside the house for she talked with some juicy details on which the other housemates were also surprised.)

after bonding with the housemates, she further talked with Big Brother, thanking him for letting her to enter the Big Brother and for a dream come true that she wanted to talk to big Brother in person.

Korina said that all the housemates are lovable in their own way. she also gave her own opinion to each of the housemates.

Unknown to the housemates, they were being watched by the panelists of Big Brother in the confession room during the Big Debate. the panelists were:

Dra. Josephine (i don’t knoe her last name) – a sociologist

Direct Wenn Deramas – award winning TV and Film director

Maui Taylor – TV Host and actress

Chigo Garcia – DJ

Dimples Romana – actress (a very good indeed) and a mom.

well, i did not agreed with them for they thought that Johan deserves to win. (well, it was their mere conclusion)

lets now talk about the Big Proposal!!(wooh!! i love it! this was their most romantic episode ever!!)

Jason asking Paul Jake and Johan about what he should wear for his big proposal to Melai. Being as Paul Jake and Johan were all support for this event, they lent Jason a couple of long-sleeved polo shirts – and even leather shoes! – to try on. Plus, they even accompanied him to his endeavor, entailing along a blue-dressed marching band that played Jason’s serenade to the tune of an upbeat version of Frankie Valli’s Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You.

Upon the entrance of the whole romantic enchilada from House B into House A where the other half of the Big Five were staying, it was clearly obvious that Melai was blown away with the surprise. She had no idea it was for her until Jason, suave in black, stepped into the roof of HOUSE B and started singing along to the band. After singing, he spoke to Melai about his feelings for her in front of their housemates and the band, starting off by saying “Alam mo nung una kitang makita – totoo ito sa puso ko, may iba akong naramdaman sa iyo (You know when I first saw you – and this is true to my heart, I felt something different)” and ending up confessing with “Gusto kong opisyal na sabihin sa ‘yo at sa buong mundo na gusto kitang maging girlfriend at mahal na mahal kita (I want to officially tell you and the rest of the world that I want you to be my girlfriend and I love you very much)!” This sent Melai into a giddy panic in which she kept asking Jason why he was doing it. Afterwards, Jason simply reasoned out that he was doing it for her to see that he was serious about his feelings towards her.

well.. as of this moment, they are officially lovers(girlfriend and boyfriend!!hiyee!)

another happening was the BIG DIVIDE. the Big 5 was divided again on two groups, on which they live on opposite houses. the groupings was made through a task of knowing the real instincts or feelings if they think that they will be on Big 4 .(they don’t know yet about the Big 5 thing)

Melai was not included in the task for she is already in the said Big group.

Tibo, the only one who said that he thought that he will not be in the big 4 was grouped with melai living on HOUSE A. while the other three lived in the HOUSE B for their answers were opposite to Tibo’s answer.

Tomorrow, THE BIG REVEAL will be discussed, telling that the twist on BIG 4 to BIG 5 will be announced to the housemates. Furthermore, it is also about the first time twist to reveal the latest standings about the BIG 5. Yes, not with letters but with real housemates and figures.

Other twists are:

The BIG KAPAMILYA CHALLENGE (a battle of the Big 5 with their love ones for a BIG PRIZE)

The HIGH FIVE CONCERT (live on thursday night, a concert by the BIG 5)

THE BIG TRUTH ( on friday night, with the veteran talk show host of the Philippines, Mr. Boy Abunda, asking the houseamtes about the issues on the outside world. The public should ask the housemates through Mr. Boy by sending their questions at pbb_researcher@yahoo.com)

that’s for today!.

thanks for reading!

if you want, if you have questions about the housemates that you wanted to be answered by them personally, but you have no time for e – mailing, just try to say it in a comment! thanks!!(–,)

7 days to go, and who will be the public’s Big Winner?

well, its been a though week for the 6 remaining housemates. And the contenders for the Brand new House and Lot was the opening discussion for episode. (Jayson and Johan)

unknown to the two, they were being watched by the other housemates on the plasma TV and commenting on how and who will survive the challenge. well, an additional to the challenge of Jayson and Johan was the white things and everything on that room.(like their food, where everything is white like eggs and cereals.) after 12 hours, Johan felt weird for their situation. then an additional of weird sounds made the room so interrogating and suffocating. (like sounds of droplets of water and heavy rains.) another is that, a sound of a screaming woman was added to their surroundings. after 34 hours, Big Brother gave a 3 minute break for the two to talk to each other and discuss their stay in the white room.

after that, 3 hours left, and Jayson decided to surrender and gave the prize for Johan. Johan as a result, shouted and screamed for joy when Jayson pressed the Red Button. As a result, Johan won the “white room” test. After it, they were sent back instantly to the HOUSE A and decided to keep it as secret first with the other housemates. When the Live show started, Toni talked to the housemates with her greetings to Johan as the recipient of such a great prize and asked the 5 other housemates (Mariel, Tibo, Paul Jake, Jayson and Johan) why do they deserved to be in the Big 4 (the twist about Big 5 is still unknown to them). after that,Kuya (Big Brother) announced that the House and Lot was already received by his parents at the outside world.

Well, because its only about a week, and Big Brother house will be closed for the mean time, i thought that twists were not possible to occur. But, its a BIG NO! Our Big Brother is not contended on his twists and i think that every day will be a twist day. lol

The hosts of the show revealed the 5 twists to wait for.

THE BIG REVEAL

THE BIG TRUTH

THE BIG KAPAMILYA (literally means “a member of the family“)

THE BIG HI-5 CONCERT

THE BIG DEBATE

..WELL, so exciting!

a preview on the latest celebrity house guest was shown (making me more exciting for sunday’s episode). It was the young Superstar of the Philippines, who for the 1st time, entered the BB house! And that is Ms. Judy Ann Santos. A very famous and one of our finest actress of this generation. Her task was to show the housemates’ talent on acting, and i tell you guys, their preview about it was indeed! a very funny episode for sure! it will be discussed and the full story will be on tomorrow’s episode i think. (can’t wait!)

well, another House guest entered, and for the 2nd time around, another Philippine Senator entered!. It was Senator Pia Cayetano who entered for a special Physical Fitness Task. it was a three round game for Team Tibo and Mariel VS Team Paul Jake and Melai(Jayson and Johan were currently on the white room when this was happened.) 1st round was a 10 laps swimming puzzle game. 2nd round was a cycling while singing(“Pinoy Ako”, Theme song of the PBB since season 1) game and lastly was the super hero run with matching costumes. Team Paul Jake and Melai won the task were Senator Pia gave them special prizes courtesy of her (and specially made by her too.) after that, she further discussed her agendas and what really does she fights for.

well, speaking about the Last Eviction Night, the housemates have no still no idea about the Big 4 being expanded to Big 5. So what they were expecting was that it would be a double eviction. When Toni (host) started to announced that the voting lines were temporarily closed, she begun to name the safe housemates from evictions. Aside from Melai, (of course, if she will receive the least vote, she will be not evicted because she automatically qualified for the finals) it was Jayson 1st to be announce as saved. secondly was Paul Jake. then paused for a commercial break that made the housemates tense and nervous for they thought that only one will be called. when Toni returned, Johan was the 3rd housemate saved then, Mariel and Tibo gladly stand up for they thought that they will bid their farewell to the first four saved housemates. But when Toni continued to announce the name of the fourth housemate who is saved from eviction, Mariel and Tibo was shocked. they returned to their respective seats and wait for Toni. Then…

it was Tibo to be the last Housemate saved making Mariel the last evictee of the season!.

After her exit, the votes tally was revealed with Mariel with the least votes to have. The “vote to Evict” system was removed last week for the votes to be accumulated was for the Big Winner to be identified.

Mariel got 3.34% of the votes while the other 5 housemates were remained secretly.

They were assigned in letters..(as of February 6, 2010, 11:00 pm)

Housemate A got 22.98

Housemate B got 14.97

Housemate C got 17.83

Housemate D got 12.25

Housemate E got 28.64

..well, honestly, i don’t have any idea on who is the housemates behind those figures. The Voting lines were open again for the public to choose their Big Winner and change the fate of each housemate.

Members of the Big 5 who will compete for the Big Winner Title on the Big Date on the Big Night that will be held at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium Live on February 13, 2010 are:

Melai or Mellisa

Paul Jake

Jayson

Tibo

Johan

…Melai is originally from HOUSE B while the C4 boys(their band name in the house) was all originally from HOUSE A. It was an amazing Big 5 because the public hates the housemates on HOUSE B, and no one of them was part of the Big 5. Although Melai was from HOUSE B, she was moved to HOUSE A after 4 days of first week on PBB for a “House Swap Twist”  This was the first time in the history of PBB with only one girl competing for the Finals.

On the exact date, they will be brought LIVE on the Ninoy Aquino Stadium for the crowning for the Big Winner.

While tomorrow, The Big Debate will be held Live!! (so excited!)

and by the way, here’s MY ranking for the Big Night!

Big Winner – MELAI (because she is consistent from the start until now, very funny! and a full of sense person. She is a true person indeed!)

2nd Big Placer – Jayson or Paul Jake (i can’t choose between them coz they both deserved to be on that place, they are real persons too.)

3rd Big Placer – Jayson or Paul Jake

4th Big Placer – Tibo (sometimes i hate him but he desperately need the money for his family and i admired him for being the Father inside the BB House.)

5th Big Placer – Johan (for the reason that he had already a Brand New House and Lot).

Do you agree with me?. or you have your own Big 5 placings?.. be free to tell it so!.

(–,)

Thanks for reading! That’s for today!

(–,)

this post is about thursday and friday’s episode.

8 days to go and the Big Winner will be proclaimed!! how exciting and addicting on my part!! i would definitely miss PBB for i think their comeback on air will be TEEN EDITION 3, on which i hope, i would still have my call back to enter the house!(never lose hope! lol ).. but definitely, i know that season 4 will be possible because of the warm acceptance of the filipino people on PBB.

well, speaking about the latest happenings, theursday episode, as what i have said earlier on my post, the date of Melai and Roy on HOUSE B was discussed with subtitle for they have used a different language. (in our country, every region has its own dialect).

it was indeed, a very funny episode, of course, because of Melai. (She has really an undeniable sense of humor.)

talking about the date,  Roy talked to Melai, clearing everything that he could. another, a revelation was made by Melai when she said that Roy only broke up with her through cell phone. (how sad and BAD!) though they were laughing, it was noticed that they both felt the sadness on what happened about their relationship. Roy told Melai that he had already a new girlfriend, making Melai to broke down on tears..but wait,, its not because that she was hurt, but it was because of the happiness that she felt. She thought that it was a clear thing between them and that Roy had finally settled for peace.

Roy even said, “Si Jason na bahala sa iyo (Jason will now take care of you)” to Melai, which just showed that he was willing to entrust Melai’s heart to another person. Also afterwards, Melai told Big Brother the same deal in the confession room that she and Roy were indeed over. “Clear na, friends na lang kami (It’s all clear; we’re just friends now).”

after Melai had finally settled everything with Roy, Kuya (Big Brother) gave Jason a chance to personally meet Roy, whom he called, “Pareng Roy” (buddy Roy).

Bringing with him wine and finger food, Jason joined Roy at the table where Melai sat just minutes ago. He was also up front about what he wanted to say. “Ano pinag-usapan niyo ni Isay (What did you and Isay talk about)?” were the first words that tumbled out of his mouth. Roy followed through his directness by stating, “Kaya ako nagpunta dito para i-clear ang break-up namin ni Melai (The reason I came here was to clear the break-up).” Jason then asked why he and Melai broke up in the first place. Roy answered him with the old-age reason of not having enough time for Melai, but this time the reason can be said to be justifiable because Roy juggled a lot of jobs for being the padre de pamilya.(head of Family)

When all were said and done, Jason and Roy parted ways and gave each other souvenirs: Jason got Roy’s shiny studs(shown on the picture,Jayson showing it) while Roy received a couple of new shirts from the former. Big Brother couldn’t help but ask Jason about his generosity, to which the latter only shrugged off by saying, “Oo, ganyan talaga. Kung ano ang akin, bigay ko din sa mga kaibigan ko (That’s the way it goes. I share whatever’s mine to my friends).” Wow, just look at that. A relationship may have been over but another one just began.

well, fortunately, Roy had even a chance to talk to Kuya. He thanked him for allowing him to enter the BB house and clear everything on their relationship.(with Melai)

for friday’s episode, “THE WHITE ROOM” was discussed with the breath taking prize of a house and lot.

But before that, the third sacrifice and Big Harapan (Big Face to Face) was held. It was Tibo’s turn to did the sacrifice for Johan letting the latter to meet his father whom he had a not well relationship on the past.

Tibo’s sacrifice was to pluck his armpit’s hair one by one. (it really hurts!!) Unknown to Tibo, he was being watched by the other housemates on the TV plasma.

After the sacrifice, the Big Harapan took place and Milko(father of Johan) was able to talk to his son. (in HOUSE B)

Johan was called into the confession room and was told that Tibo was in it for him and his father Milko to have a reconciliation. Later on, he was fetched by his own father from the confession room into the House B where they could have a serious talk in a more quiet environment. But since he was blindfolded, he didn’t see all of those at first. So when his eyes got uncovered and he finally saw his father, he sobbed quietly – almost uncontrollably. Bad memories must have clouded over him and he got overwhelmed with the idea that it was the time that he would have to open and reach out to his father about them.

Milko started their conversation by asking how Johan was doing inside the house. Next up was that Johan voiced his longtime-held grudge against his father by stating how hurt he was when he saw his parents fighting a lot over financial problems when he was younger. “Iniisip ko nun eh parang gusto mo ng umalis, gusto mo na kaming iwan (I was thinking then that you wanted to go away, that you wanted to leave us already),” he explained through tears. Milko couldn’t help but defend his actions by saying that, “Ang hirap kasi noon at talagang ginawa ko na lahat (It was really difficult then and I already did everything),” pertaining to how he had gone to the lengths of doing so much just to hold his family together.

But Johan couldn’t help but ask his dad to promise about one thing: that those fights from when he was a kid are not going to happen again. This was what made Milko started crying too yet still managed to reply with a “yes” and a hug to his son. This represented that the father and son were already in good terms with each other.

“THE WHITE ROOM was also revealed making JOHAN AND JASON the two players for the new House and lot. The resident psychologist of PBB had an interview that the white room will definitely test the housemates’ real emotions and feelings that they kept within them selves. as what i remember, it was a “Selective Sensory Deprivation” test?..i can’t remember exactly.

Big Brother allotted a whole day to the housemates to come up with the decision of picking two housemates that were going to fight for the house and lot prize at stake. While it couldn’t be denied that each one of them were enticed with the idea of having their own home – especially after seeing the beautiful miniature of the actual house and lot displayed on the living room, several of the housemates acted unsurprisingly selfless about it.

For instance, Paul Jake and Melai were the first ones to remove their mini dolls of themselves from the on-set display, signifying that they were giving up their slots from the fight for the special prize. After a while, Mariel also removed hers, saying that what she really wanted was to be part of the Big Five. “Hindi ko kase ineexpect ‘to kaya mas mabuti na lang na ibigay ko sa iba (I didn’t expect this anyway, so it would be better if I give it to the others),” she said. So the choices were down to Jason, Johan and Tibo. But by late afternoon these were narrowed into just Jason and Johan because Tibo thought the two needed the house more than he does.

The challenge in exchange for the special prize was not at all easy to undergo. Jason and Johan were fetched by white ninjas at the middle of dawn and were sent to a special white-covered small room where their battle for the house and lot will commence. Not only were their sensory organs shall be put the test but also their psychology and inner peace because for the whole duration of this task, they weren’t going to be allowed to talk or to sleep. If any one of them decided to give up, Big Brother provided a red button to push and let them out of the room.

well, that’s for today, and again, thank you for reading! comments will be forever appreciated. (–,)

Tomorrow, Feb 06, 2010, the THE BIG 5 will be revealed and who among the remaining housemates will join Melai on the spot?..

(–,) ..sooooooo exciting!!!!!!!!!!

Graham has told me that The Apprentice will be the next Reality Show franchise that is entered into WoBB and will be there before the premier of Celebrity Apprentice, March 14th. So, I will reveal the cast now, as NBC has already revealed that information. Fourteen celebrities have joined Donald Trump for the next season of The Celebrity Apprentice, hoping to win $250,000, I believe, for their favorite charity. The biggest conflict is that it’s a two hour show, in which I’m not sure if I can, or would watch the second hour (it runs for 2 hours) since I have a planned schedule of waking up early. I’ll likely watch the second hour later online. So, without further ado, I now announce the cast of Celebrity Apprentice 3. Get a grip on me, I’m not good with annoucning celebrities I personally know nothing about.

Bill Goldberg is famous for being in the NFL & active as a Pro Wrestler. His ties to Reality TV are host of Bullrun, which is a show I know nothing about. He has also appeared in several movies including “Ready to Rumble” and Fast Glass. I just named a couple, for you. I personally never heard of him, so it will be interesting seeing how he’ll do. Given he’s an athlete, I’m sure he’ll know how to lead a team, so I expect him to do well there, for now.

Bret Michaels is a superstar singer, producer, songwriter, who is also famous for his VH1 Reality show, Rock of Love. He’s also acted in movies such as Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Deuce Bigalo-European Jigalow. He has his own film production company partnered with Charlie Sheen. Given that he’s got his own production company, I can see how he knows how to run and manage something related to a high stakes profile. I’m once again not familiar with him and his fame much, so I’ll have to watch him and see.

Carol Leifer is a comedic writer and stand-up comic who has appeared on Oprah, Today’s Show, and Jay Leno.  I personally remember as a judge on Star Search back in 2002, or whatever, for a while, until that show died. I personally liked her as a judge for that show, along with Naimo Judd and Ben Stein, as well. Anyways, as a comedian and a writer I expect to see the creativeness brought to the team, and entertainment brought to the show’s plot.

Curtis Stone is a celebrity chef, best-selling author, tv host, and entrepreneur. She is originally from Melbourne, Australia, probably the first Aussie to participate on Apprentice. Cooking and Famous culinary is his pasion, which will help out the team he’s on tremendously when he’s working in a food-industrial task. Other than that, I’m curious to see what else he brings, as I’ve neverheard of him as well.

Cyndi Lauper is a 80′s music icon, which I’ve heard one song, only on Dance Dance Revolution, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”, so I’m borderline on knowing her, and I also know that she’s the trend starter of wild hair girls in the 80′s must’ve had. I’m not sure what she’ll add to the Apprentice, she seems like she could have the creative skills to get success from this game.

Darryl Strawberry is a baseball legend, two-time cancer survivor who speaks out for autism and community outreach, also noting he’s a best selling author. He is very successful, which will make him very goal oriented throughout his time in the Celebrity Apprentice, and made a lot of acheivements in his life, and as a child, having a dark past. I believe he’s got team experience, with youth outreach and being a baseball player, along with communications skills as an Austim speaker. I have a strong prediction he’ll last.

Holly Robinson Peete is an Actress, Author, and Activist who has a radio show called “Meet the Peetes”, airing on XM/Series satelite radio. She started her acting career very young, at age four. I personally never heard of her either, (Man, I’m bad with Hollywood, I better never go there), so I’ll be curious to meat her as well. Like Darryl, she also has ties to Autism awareness programs.

Maria Kanellis is a Pro Wrestler who appeared on the reality series’ Outback Jack & WWE Diva Search, where she got fifth place. She was a backstage interviewer for Monday night Raw. She’s also a model, where she has loads of pageant experience to go along with this. She clearly has the competitive sprit going for her, in athletics, and even from reality television. That will probably be her strong suit for her, I suppose.

Michael Johnson is an Olympic 200/400 sprinter who was a motivational speaker before that. He participated in the 1996 Olympics where he was the first man to acheive gold metals from that. In 2000, he acheived the oppotunity to be the first athlete to win consecutive gold metals. I personally was too young to follow the olympics then, so I don’t know him. I feel he’ll bring in some competitive, communication, and teamwrok skills to this season of Celebrity Apprentice.

Rod Blogojevich is a former Illinois governor who ended up impeached for political corruption. His wife, Patty Balgojevich competed on I’m A Celebrity last year, since he was not legally able to compete. To me, he can’t be the only corrupt politician, he just didn’t know how to get away with things. I can’t imagine him being able to impress anyone on his team, and maybe I sound harsh, but he has a bad reputation. Who knows, maybe this show will furthur his chances of clearing it.

Selita Ebanks is a model, who is mixed race of five different races, and also works as an activist for helping women in Seirra Leone, a country who faced a cival war and was torned years ago. She was discovered as a model at age seventeen, at an amusement park. Given she’s an organization active, I see the business and executive side of her, along with someone putting her dream, which is modeling, ahead, something I admire.

Sharon Osborne is a TV Star, who’s appeared on “The Osborns”, “America’s Got Talent”, and the “Osborne’s Variety Show”, is also a writer. I actually have seen her, weatching America’s Got Talent’s audition (I only watch their auditions, as that program runs over something else, Wipeout, I believe). I’m sure she’ll bring in some entertainment and creativity to this bunch.

Sinbad is a actror and stand-up comedian, who is considered a “Gte ‘em in the face” type of comedian. I don’t know what he’ll add to the how, not ot mention I’ve heard the name, but again, I’m never much into comedy, so It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Summer Sanders is an olympic swimmer, who recieved gold and bronze metals in 1992. In 2005, she co-hosted the show Skating with Celebrities. I think she’ll have the comuncation skills down, along with the competitive skills.

Out of the fourteen celebrities, there’s only three that I’ve physically seen on television. That would be Rod, Carol, and Sharon. It’ll be like watching a regular reality show to me, since I’m just so into my Christian music and (mainly competitive) Reality Television.

Here is a list of my top 24 favorite hopefuls who auditioned of American Idol 9 Auditions. I’ll later see how many of them still remain during the Hollywood Auditions process, and see how many of them remain once we have the top 24. I basically evaluated my wish list based on who was in the Love category on a LLNMD list and the rest are by who I mostly remembered were vying for the bottom half. So, here we go, my list of the top 24 favorite auditions of mine.

A month after Veliki Bart 3 finished started new celebrity edition Veliki Bart VIP 4. 30th of January at 9.00 pm on Pink televsion started VB VIP 4. As always hosts of the show Marijana Micic and Dragan Marinkovic introduced the public with new rules of VB this season and showed the inside of the house. They explained that this season housemates will be separated in two groups,poor and rich and every group will have their side of the house and wont be allowed to cross on another side.

First housemate who entered in the VB house was Ena Popov. She became famous after participating in the first edition of Veliki Brat and was evicted on day 93. After Veliki Brat 1, together with Marko Miljkovic( also participant in VB 1) they were hosts of serbian folk version of Idol,after that she had her first single called Naivna (Naive). A lot of people are still under her impression from the vb1 but we will see for how long she is gonna be in the house, honestly not one of my favourite housemates for winning!

After Ena in the vb house entered Milan Maric, and actor from Belgrade, Serbia. His most famous role is in serbian movie “Rane”, i never saw him again in some other movie but this role made him really popular,and on the forums he is one of the favourite housemates.

The third housemate was Lepa Lukic, very popular folk singer,also called The Queen of folk music. It was a real surprise that she entered in the house, not because of her age but noone expected that.

After Lepa entered Mladen Radulovic, model and manager from Serbia. My personal opinion is that he is famous as ex boyfriends of folk star Seka Aleksic, before that noone noticed him, imean on public,he was probably successful in his job but wasnt very popular.

Sanja Brnkovic was the fifth housemate. I cant say a lot about her because although she is famous model i have never heard for her.

After Sanja entered Bojan Jovanovski, also called Boki 13, very popular showman,host and singer in Macedoni,he said that one of the reasons for entering in VB house is that he will try to succed in Serbia also. He is male but he dresses as a female,have a makeup.

Divna Karleusa was the seventh housemate. Successful journalist and host but i wouldnt say that she is very popular because of her job but because she is mother of Jelena Karleusa – one of the most famous stars on Balkan and even more (she participated in VB VIP 3 ALL STARS, but was in the house only 24h.

After Divna entered Ervin Kotona,also called Strongman,this is the first time i saw that man although he has been on many competitions. I think that it is officially that he is the srtongest man in Serbia because of many world records in bodybuilding

The ninth housemate and my favourite is definately Ana Bebic. She became famous in Serbia after participatin in Operacija Trijumf,although she was evicted in semifinal she is the most successful of all students on the OT Academy. After OT she moved in Belgrade because of the job.

After Ana entered Bora Drljaca, very popular folk singer,he and Era are also famous as showmen, for example in musi show called Grand show they sang in the costumes of Batman and Superman.

Anabela was the eleventh housemate. Ana and she are the most favourite housmates for winning on the fourms,and i would agree with that. She was a very long time a singer in pop group Funky G, but last year she divorced from her husband and left the gruop and now she is solo singer and very popular one,her first single Dragi moj(My dear) became very popular in short time and soon after she had a song called 100 ratova (100 wars) with Mia (participant in VB VIP 3 ALL STARS)

Alden Hadzikaric was the twelfth housemate,an actor from Bosnia,this was the first time i saw him and heard for him so have no idea what could write about him.

Tamara Simic, a model from Bosnia, popular model but again never heard for her.

The last housemate was Era Ojdanic (participant in VB VIP 2),he was evicted day before semifinal. Very popular folk singer and showman.

After housemates entered in the house VB announced that they should vote for two housemates but he didnt tell them the reason for voting. Housemates assumed that they vote for people who will bring the suitcases. The most votes got Era,Alden and Ervin and VB called them in the diary room. VB asked Era,because he had the most votes and Ervin and Alden the same number,to choose one of them and he choosed Alden. During they were in the diary room other housemates watched them in the livving room on tv.After choosing Alden Ervin had to leave the diary room. VB told Era and Alden that they had the most votes and have to leave the house emideately without saying goodbye to other housemates. Housemates were surprised because of that decision and regretted because they voted for them. Alden and Era left the house without saying goodbye but they didnt really leave the house,the moved to porr part of the house,and the others didnt know that. Everyone thought that they are veicted.During the night VB explained to Era and Alden that they are captains of two teams and tomoorow they will have to compete in a challenge and be able to decide who will take poor side and who will take rich part of the house and choosing housemates for their team. While other housemates were talking about “evicted” housemates Era and Alden watched them on tv and discussed about who to pick for their own team.

This is what American Idol calls “The Best of the Rest” episode, where we saw more successful and unsuccessful hopefuls audition throughout the seven cities they traveled to. After this blog, I have decided to make my own “Top 24″ list and see how many of my top 24, make the actual top 24, rather than doing a top twelve.

Jessica Furney – She sang a song, co-written by Simon Cowell. In my opinion, she sang very beautiful. Randy says she’s improved since her last audition, and she gets a full house and four votes to Hollywood.

Amanda Stectman – A hopeful auditioning out of Boston, who sings okay to me. Victoria says she needs to connect more. The judges say her personality was a lot like dramatic acting, which could’ve influenced her singing. However, she got four votes yes to Hollywood.

Lee Dewyze – A short segment of a guy who sang okay, and is put through to Hollywood.

Crystal Bosersox – Another short segment of a girl who sings pretty decent, getting approval for Hollywood.

Lacey Brown – A Top 50 Hollywood hopeful of last year, who sang well enough and pretty beautiful in my opinion. Randy  liked her tune, and she was one of Kara’s favorites. She gets put through to Hollywood with four yes’s.

Stephenie Fisher – When she sang, she didn’t sound the worst, but not good enough for the judges, and for the seventh time on American Idol, she was rejected.

Rachel Hubbard – A 16 year old girl with a short audition segment, who sang okay, and was put through to Hollywood.

Genesis Moore – Another sixteen year old who auditions and hears from Randy she was one of the best. If I remember correctly, I really liked her too.

Adrian Chandtchi – A 6 ft. & 8 in. guy who has apasion for swimming. When he sang, he sounded much like a girl. However, Kara says he sounded like a school boy. He was rejected.

Michael Lynche – A personal trainer who is a father to be, having a kid on the way. In my pinion, he sang different than he looks. Randy says he can sing, and all of the judges say yes to him for Hollywood.

Didi Denami – A girl who is singing in honor of her best friend who passed away. In my opinion, she sang very strong and emotional. Kara says she knew she wants this bad, and she was really emotional after singing as well. Avril says she has high potential. The judges all say yes to her.

Aaron Kelly – A guy who grew up with his parents having financial problems, and had his aunt and uncle raise him. I thought he sang excellent, but not my taste, as he sang Miley Cyrus, which is only good if you’re going for preteen sensation. He did get four votes yes to Hollywood.

Kimberly Bishop – She sings “I kissed a Girl”, by Katy Perry. Randy says it wasn’t good enough, but Simon would’ve said yes. Kara said no, and also says that girl was weird, after Kimberly left the audition room.

Shaddaii Harris – A girl who started singing, and moved okay. However, the judges say she can’t sing, and she was rejected.

Hope Johnson – A girl who grew up poor. She claims music is her way of escaping troubles. I thought she sang okay in my opinion. Randy says she has a beautiful tone. All of the judges voted yes for her to Hollywood.

Over 180 hopefuls are going to the next round, the Hollywood round, which starts next week. Here is a LLNMD poll of the hopefuls shown in this episode.

Love: Lacey Brown,

Like: Lee Dewyze, Crystal Bosersox, Genesis Moore, Michael Lynche, Didi Denami, Aaron Kelly,

Neutral: Jessica Furney, Amanda Shectman, Rachel Hubbard,  Hope Johnson

FINAL NOMINATION NIGHT! (FACE TO FACE NOMINATION WITH A TWIST)

Nominations pushed through in the usual way last night, with each housemate picking two others for eviction. Little did they know that tonight was the last nomination night, and with that came another task. All looking pure in head-to-toe white outfits, the housemates were faced with a mysterious board cloaked in black. On Kuya’s signal, the cloth was lifted, revealing a board with several tags of eviction statements. From the sedate “Adios” to the harsh “Get Lost”, the housemates were asked to get two and tag the housemates whom they nominated earlier. No changes could be made, and with explanations necessary, each had to face their co-housemate and be held accountable for their choices.

Melai, who was exempt from nominations having won a slot in the finals, was first to be called by Kuya. With utmost candor, she tagged Paul Jake with “Get Lost”, with the reason that he was arrogant and did not need the prize money anymore. Tibo got “Paalam na” for being pretentious in his humility.

Paul Jake stated a general apology for having to tag the others, but some things simply had to be done. He stuck “Laos” on Mariel, as he felt she had been untrue to herself and was playing safe recently. “Sibat na” was for Johan, being a strong contender.

Jason could not hide his uneasiness at the task, especially with specific personal reasons behind his choices. He tagged Tibo with an “Asa pa” tag. As Melisa’s coach, Jason took offense at the latter’s statement that he was giving Melisa the spot for the Big 4 already, believing that Melisa earned it for herself. Jason also tagged Paul Jake, but cleared that it was not for being rich; he believed they all had an equal right to win. His “Adios” tag, then, was for some comments and actions that hurt him.

Tibo took his 4 tags in stride, and tagged in the same manner. Jason got an “Uwi na” tag from him for remaining lazy after four months inside Kuya’s house. Paul Jake’s “Exit na” tag was, unsurprisingly, for missing his girlfriend and being well-off already.

Johan was quite harsh in explaining his choices, becoming brutally frank in his reasoning. “Labas na” was for Tibo. “Madiskarte ka, pero ayoko ang diskarte mo,” said Johan. In a similar tone, he stuck Paul Jake with “Go away”. He reasoned, “Habang pinapatunayan mo ang sarili mo, pinapatunayan mong karapat-dapat kang umalis ng bahay.”

The last in line, Mariel approached the board with nervous laughter. She tried to keep the situation light by smiling at Paul Jake as she stuck his fifth eviction of the night. “Pahawa ka” was for him not needing the prize as much as the others. She stuck “Tanggal ka” on Tibo, his fourth eviction, for his statement about Jason and her conflict with him in conversations.

Up until this moment, they were still under the impression that the Char-Char Change prevailed. They were made to believe that the eviction of Cathy and those who followed were results of their own votes. Tonight, Kuya revealed that such was not the case. As always, evictions were based on viewers’ votes and not anyone else’s.

Likewise, their nominations this week were also “char”, a farce. Their votes did not count for anything; no one was nominated according to the housemates’ choices. Rather, everyone (with the exception of Melisa) was up for eviction. Kuya announced that they were vying for the last 3 slots, withholding the addition of a fifth big placer and allowing them to believe that 2 more housemates will say their goodbyes within the week.

From now until the Big Night, votes will be accumulated and will determine the ranking of the remaining housemates.

WEEK 18 starts Day 120 -122

well, for this final two weeks, Big Brother prepared a lot of surprises and twists that even the public is unprepared of it. (of course, lol!)

..for monday episode, as what i remember, a dog entered the house(secondly this time after the pet of former housemate Sam.). it was named, i can’t remember but it was beautiful dog, regardless of its breed, it was for melai to conquer her fear on dogs.

after the day, she finally conquered it with the help of her fellow housemates. another, it was a surprise thing for me, that all the housemates work and cleaned the whole house noticing that everything is on SIX. like chairs and plates, making them to realize that it was a though months that have passed and they were the lucky six who passed it. Another twist, was the BIG HARAPAN! (BIG FACE TO FACE). three housemates will do a sacrifice for their three fellow housemates to fix the things they were not able to do so before entering the PBB. first was for Mariel, whom Paul Jake did his Sacrifice. It was a hard task, that involves endurance and temper. He had dressed like Mariel and for every situation that Big Brother will tell, Mariel must react on which Paul jake should imitates in order to passed the task.

after imitating, Big Brother will make him freeze for about 30 minutes with such positions that really hurts! there were 10 situations. (wow!)

fortunately, Paul jake was able to did the sacrifice successfully, giving Mariel the chance to talk with her partner(the father of her son). It was an unfinished business for her and she was shocked because it was unknown to her. (just like everyone, the recipients of the consequences had no idea about the sacrifices.)

Because of this, in house B(Tuesday episode) Mariel was able to talk with his partner. it was a dramatic encounter were both have no idea if they can fix it. well, the ending, i think, it was better than before.

another revelation for the day was the real intention of Jayson for Melai. Yes! He admitted to Big Brother that Melai is important for him and he loves her!

Big Brother offered a deal with Jayson that if he did a sacrifice, Melai will have a chance to talk with his ex boyfriend (because it was an unclosed story between them). Melai cannot move on because she holds back with her past. as a sacrifice, Jayson must walk around the swimming pool area, on about 1053 minutes, (the miles where Melai lives, GenSan City) or 17 hours without rest. (but because of the sudden dizziness that jayson felt, BB let him to rest for at least 30 minutes every six hours.)

this was a secret for Melai, although, Melai had an idea that the sacrifice/task was for her. (How assuming! lol!! But sweet!)

Jayson was able to did it and then, for today’s episode, a live wednesday night(1st time for the season 3,7th edition) Melai had her Big Face to Face with her ex boyfriend. She was told by Big Brother about the sacrifice, and she was shocked for what she had not expected that it was a face to face with Roy. Live at HOUSE B, she was brought by Jayson then welcomed by Roy, (her ex)  with a pedicab ride and a burger(Melai’s favorite).

before Roy entered the house, he was interviewed by  Toni(host) about his feelings towards Melai. he said that he stills loves her though the feeling slowly disappearing day by day. he also revealed that his relationship with Melai was three years and two months.(too exact!). Unknown to Melai and Roy, they were being watched by Jayson. the whole story will be discussed tomorrow for the reason that they talked in a different language, resulting in the demand for a translator.(remember, it was live!)

..another surprise was told and Big Brother will give a Brand new HOUSE AND LOT for a special task. it was called, “THE WHITE ROOM” on which, two housemates will compete psychologically then the winner will have the prize. the details were not yet discussed but it keeps me more addictive to PBB even on its last two weeks!. too exciting!!!

i dont know if “THE WHITE ROOM” was also based on other big brother’s edition all over the world, because it was my first time to hear about it. so if you have any ideas, please tell me so. thanks for that!

before i end this, i’ve just read a trivia (from their site) about PBB’s Big Nights, and a lot more. i’ ll repost it here for better. lol.

All are holding their breath in anticipation of the Big Night. To keep you from getting antsy, here are 10 trivia tidbits to feed your curiosity. Tidbit # 10: The second batch of housemates also started the PBB season along with the first batch. While the first batch of housemates were entering the popular PBB house, the second batch were marooned in Kuya’s secret location.

Tidbit #9: Like the first batch of housemates, those in the secret place also had zero television, telephone, and contact with anyone from the outside world. They only had 30 minutes to sneak a peek at the outside world, and only when they had a PBB staff member watching over them.

Tidbit #8: Tibo, being an agent, showed his special skills even when he was held in isolation. He had no idea what time it was, but could predict when a particular vehicle from the overlooking subdivision would appear. Talk about sharp observation skills!

Tidbit #7: Melisa absolutely detests anything cheese-flavored! Luckily, her interviewers were only too happy to eat her share of the cheesy treats.

Tidbit #6: With the surprise entry of Typhoon Ondoy, it didn’t spare the housemates from its wrath. Several housemates were stranded in traffic and flood waters. It was a wonder that the PBB Double Up lauch pushed through at all!

Tidbit #5: Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” made for an interesting read this season. Paul Jake actually had a head start already. Since he was reading it even before entering Kuya’s house.

Tidbit #4: Tom’s female impersonation for Rob was not his first. He tested his girly side with the PBB staff earlier by wearing a long wig and dark shades. No luck on both counts, though. < p> Tidbit #3: During the photo shoot, Jason ran out of moolah and borrowed P50.00 from a staff member. His debtor actually forgot about the pending debt, but Jason didn’t. Honest Jason paid his debt 5 days before entering Kuya’s house.

Tidbit #2: In the final casting week, Mariel confidently breezed through the process. Little did she know that everyone in the room –except her, of course– was actually part of the PBB staff.

Tidbit #1: Kath and Jimson, real-life hubby and wife, originally auditioned in 2007. At that time, they were only bound by civil rites. They had a church wedding held in the Philippines afterwards, where the guest list included PBB staff members.

One day down, and more trivia to uncover!

i want comments..lol.. thanks!

The seventh stop American Idol made during it’s Audition process was Denver, Colorado. Victoria Beckham was once again the judge. This is the final audition city, before the “Best of the Rest” clip show tonight. I’ll have to see if that’s worth blogging about or not, maybe they’ll show other successful auditions.

Mark Labriola – The first audition of the day, a guy who says people tell him he looks like Jack Black. He tells Simon he loves cheese, and then the conversation turned into this guy’s whole life story, about him mother and everything. I didn’t think he sounded too great, but the judges liked him. He didn’t sound so serious, but he made it trough to Hollywood.

Mario Gaiven – He is an addictions counselor, singing Elvis Presley’s Jailhouse Rock. Simon asks him what break has he had, but he was ultimately rejected.

Kimberly Kerbow – She sounded great, in my opinion. She also hs a five year old daughter, as a single mom. The judges liked her, and she was votes yes to Hollywood, receiving four votes.

Danielle Hayes – A karaoke host who is a song writer and another single mom. She’s saying she’s been pursuing her singing career for a couple years. To me, she sang very strong, flowing, and very good. Simon likes her, but says she seems a little “broken”. Kara says she’s movable, and Victoria says she could go far.

Casey James – He started singing okay, but not my style of music. Simon says he was bad, but Kara says he was very good, and Victoria ended up saying yes when he took his shirt off. Randy says yes, for the girls, but says he needs much improvement.

Tori Kelly – A girl who brings in a kid who draws pictures of the judges. When Tori sang, she sang very good. Kara liked Tori, but Simon says her voice was annoying. Randy. Victoria, and Kara say yes, making her through to Hollywood.

Austin Paul – A football player who likes to sing. He says going to Hollywood through American Idol is ‘Number 42″ on a list of things he wants to do. Kara says he’s a bit cocky and Simon says his voice is very annoying, as Victoria says he was a bit arrogant. He was rejected.

Kenny Everett – A guy who considers himself the male version of Mary J. Blige. He sounds lousy, and is basically screaming as he sings. He also basically killed Be Without You, by Mary J. Blige. Simon agreed, saying he sounding like nothing but screaming. He refused to hear no, and continued to sing. He sang again, and the judges began chanting “Go, Go, Go”.

Nicci Nix – A girl who is from Italy and flew fourteen hours to Denver. I thought she sounded like a little girl at first, but got better. Simon says she sang with meaningful lyrics and sang deeper than her speaking voice. She got four votes to head to Hollywood.

Haeley Vaughan – She considers herself a miracle child, being born under three pounds. Also, she went through the loss of her father. For An African-American girl, I was surprised by her originality to sing a country sing, a Carrie Underwood song. She claims she wants to be a country music artist. The jusges also loved her originality, and decided to put her through to Hollywood.

A grand total of 26 hopefuls made it through to Hollywood. The grand total of hopefuls going to Hollywood are 180. Then the episode ended with a horrifying twist, a  guy in a bikini, now named “Bikini Boy” after we saw Bikini Girl last year, came into the audition room. The judges were just as horrified, and told him the look clearly doesn’t work for him. Out of the good, decent auditions, Danielle Hayes was probably the best one, following that would be Haeley Vaughan. I’ll post the LLNMD list, and Tomorrow after the Best of the Rest show, I’ll post a top twelve hopefuls, seeing how accurate my ist comes out of the actual top twelve.
