Goodbye, Pinoy Big Brother!

For the longest time, I’ve been a fan of Pinoy Big Brother. From Season 1 to Celebrity and Teen Editions to the current season, I tried to defend PBB from my friend-detractors. And now I find myself being one of them — the detractors. This post might be a spur-of-the-moment thing, but considering how the PBB management has been trying to manipulate everything in the show, even lacking logic or rationality and breaking their own rules of the game, I realised I’ve had enough.
What’s with the Balik-Bahay thing? This is sooo unfair. The people have already decided. And they chose to kick them out of the house. In Season 1, there was also something like this, but that was to replace Bob (forced eviction). This time, Maricris already had a replacement. There is certainly no reason for doing this Balik-Bahay crap. This is just another desperate attempt to save Wendy’s ass and shove her back into the house.
The ex-housemates have already seen and experienced the outside world. And they have been evicted. By the people. Putting them back in the competition ruins the very essence of the program.
And rationalising it by saying that it has been done in other countries? That’s rubbish. They must have had shortage of people creative enough to come up with a hokum. Or maybe not. After all, I doubt if they could really think of a good excuse for this.
And don’t give me that everyone-deserves-a-second-chance reason. Second chance, my ass. That’s bull shit. I know that’s sooo sweet, almost romantic but damn, this is a game. The rules are simple. Housemates nominate those they want out. Viewers decide who’s gonna stay. Viewers. The people. The ones watching the show. The ones who vote. Using their own money. Just to save the ones they like. And trash those they abhor. I really believe that this Balik-Bahay rubbish is a betrayal of the people. And their trust. The people who supported them. And I’m one of them. (Yes, I feel betrayed. Console me.)
I would worship PBB for all its worth kung entertainment value rin lang. HOWEVER, this time, they just crossed a very very important line. This is also a game. And so, fairness is crucial. As much as I wanted to make the show more exciting by letting them put Wendy back into the game, I know that’s not fair — to the housemates left inside and the viewers who spent money just to save their housemates of choice. Because I said, this is not just a show, or a reality show, this is a game.
I can’t believe they’re doing all of this just because of their vested interests. Two things. The roots of all evil. One is money. And the other is Wendy. They might’ve earned a lot when Wendy was nominated that most people, even those who didn’t like Dionne and Saicy, voted for the other two just to have Wendy evicted. And now that Wendy is up for another chance, the management may be enjoying another round of addictive profits. And here we go again, Wendy gets so much airtime. Stories all focus on the Wendy-Bruce all-for-show fake team-up (hoping they would make a bankable loveteam outside). Direk Lauren Dyogi must really love this bitch. And that makes Dyogi a filthier bitch, licking Wendy’s ass all the time.
And if airtime ain’t enough, just take a look at this article:
While the housemates were confined in the boys room, Wendy and the others were allowed out of their secret room and into the kitchen to prepare their lunch…
Hmmm. Wendy and the others? And Wendy is the only one who deserves a name to be mentioned? Who is she, Nicole Kidman? Damn it.
I really, really feel betrayed and violated. This is a scam! We are cheated by the management. Sayang lang ang mga load natin na ginamit para ma-evict yung ayaw natin, maibabalik lang din naman pala sila. Ano ba ‘to eleksyon? Hanggang PBB ba naman, uso ang dayaan? Pinaglalaruan na lang tayo ng PBB. Niloloko na lang tayo. Binabastos na lang tayo. Ginagago na lang tayo. The viewers are not dumb. We are not stupid. I-boycott ang PBB.
Fuck you, PBB. You’ve just lost a fan. And I’m sure I’m not alone.
(But I really hope this is just one of my spur-of-the-moment things. Coz I love the show. Or at least, I used to.) *photo courtesy of 43things.com

Very well said. You expressed well yourself. And you’re right, you’re not alone.
My first time to watch PBB. I was growing to love the show until this thing happened. I don’t watch telenovelas (esp filipino) because i find them predictable or they make you feel stupid. I didn’t know PBB could be something to make you feel even worse. They’re a waste of time. It’s all about manipulation of people’s lives and money.
Yoshke
come on, they have to know how manipulative they are becoming or they have been all along. I-boycott ang PBB!
Sicnarf
Wrong move nga! Pwe!
heta
Here, here. You’re not alone pare…
Boycott PBB!
Yama-chan
Well said.
I also feel very betrayed by PBB or ABS in General. When Saicy, Dionne and Wendita were nominated, I used more than 200 pesos worth of load, my thumbs were red. I am so angry right now. Screw angry, I’m pissed. If I could only call ABS I would’ve. DAMN you ABS. Damn you to FUCKING HELL.

i’m happy i found someone with same gut feeling. i used to like watching PBB and stayed late at night. but after that “Balik Bahay” gimmik, i feel being betrayed and used by the management. can they think of another worth tactics of drawing people o watch their shows? that only proves that, same with telanovelas, the end result is already been prepared and done. goodbye!!!

PBB Season 2 is all for Wendy. They will desperately do everything.

korek! ako din d na watch PBB! wish ko lang matauhan ang ABS at PBB and give immediate action sa situation!!!
Wish ko lang!!!
Pero i doubt kc Wendy is more important sa kanila for some reasons which i dont know!
Yoshke
Magsumbong na lang kaya tayo sa endemol? Hahaha. Malamang alam din nila yung ginagawa ng ABS. Pero i’m not so sure kung alam nila na ganito reaksyon ng mga tao.

Korek! Ambwisit na talaga ngayon. Tapos grabe sobrang ginagatungan yung Wendy-Bruce thing. Mga pota. And to quote bebs, mga tae sila!
Yoshke
true. mga TAE sila. Lalo na si Laurenti Dyogi. So much for being a UP Mascom grad. Corrupt na corrupt din naman pala. What a shame!
dam-dam
oh, people, people… relax… relax… *tap on ur back* relax…
so finally!!!! some sense from you, pieces of muck!!!!!!!! *slap on both cheeks, each of you!!!!*
*cue EVIL GRIN*
jusko! took you 4 seasons to realize na tae ang pbb!!!! anebeyen!!! ur supposed to be informed and educated viewers!!!!! season 1 pa lang, minamanipulate na kayo ng abs no!
season 1— sam milby
celebrity – ground for john prats to revive his dead career and instill bianca sa masa
teen edition -=– pagpipilit ng loveteam ng kimerald.. ewe!
atbp.
jusme! i can’t believe you spent that much para lang mapayaman si gabby lopez no!!! and make them believe na hindi tae ang show nila (kasi nga me support from the audience)
hay nkooooooooooo… buti na lang, bawas na kayo sa listahan ng mga taong iku-crucify ko for believing that crap, rather, trying to convince yourselves na me kwenta nga ang pbb.
pwe!
tsaka pwede ba, kahit pagpapalit ng tao in lieu of the forced evictees ay di na dapat ginagawa!!!!!!! what’s the sense!!!! dun pa lang, wala nang fairness sa mga bagay bagay no!!!
hay naku,. i could rant forever.
Yoshke
things that you can never understand , damdam, hahaha. Kasi never ka naman naging fan ng PBB or nakapanood ng isang buong episode ng PBB.
I used to watch PBB because of its entertainment value. It’s funny. It’s even funnier than most comedy series/sitcoms we have right now. And I’d rather watch PBB than Nuts Entertainment (Gawd) or Who’s Your Daddy if I only wanted to laugh.
Also, looking at and into other people’s lives is one of my guilty pleasures.
As I’ve said:
ASTARUSTAH
THE WENDY BIG BROTHER SHOW!!!
Woohoo…CRAP!
PBB’s a rat pack…a rat pack…a rat pack. (singing)
With the storing of unnecessary “stuff”(which they thought necessary, of course) sa lungga ni Big Brother? CERTIFIED RAT PACK!
anjitoma

The Lady in Green Ruffles
