The 14 celebrity housemates received punishments from Big Brother and the Council of Reward and Punishment after violating a house rule last Wednesday night.
The celebrities committed the violation when they moved the furniture located in the garden during the the Council's fashion show. It clearly violated the rule concerning furniture, which states that "Furniture and soft furnishings (sofas, bed, kitchen table, confession room chair, bedroom pillows, comforters, garden furniture,) within the confines of the Big Brother House should not be move at anytime.”
Aside from the punishment given by the council, which prohibited the housemates from taking a bath for two consecutive days, Big Brother also gave his own punishment by asking the council members to transform four celebrities into "taong grasa"
Council members' connivance
During the council members' meeting – or connivance as the other housemates prefer to call it – Rudy, Aleck, Christian, Rustom and Gretchen had difficulty choosing the four celebrities, who would get to experience the life of a "taong grasa". The council members feared that their choices might create a misunderstanding and tension between them and the other housemates.
After a long deliberation, the council chose Rico, Roxie, Zanjoe and Bianca. In order not to be labeled as unfair council members, they decided to give the four housemates some “rewards” first before revealing their punishment. In exchange for picking them as the 4 celebrity “taong grasa,” the council exempted Rico, Roxie, Zanjoe and Bianca from doing household chores such as fetching water, cutting woods, preparing meals, and etc for two days.
The council made this decision so that the other housemates, particularly Keanna and Mich would be forced to do household chores. “Sila (Mich and Keanna) po kasi yung napapansin namin na hindi masyadong kumikilos sa bahay..mas marami po talagang ginagawa si Bianca at saka si Roxie.” Aleck said when she reported the council’s consensus regarding the “taong grasa" punishment to Big Brother
“Yung mga taong dinumihan namin, para sa amin, sila yung taong masisipag, ginawa namin yun kasi gusto namin sila yun magpahinga,” Christian explained during his confession.
A fun-filled punishment
Although they got very surprised, Rico, Roxi, Zanjoe and Bianca readily accepted the council's decision. Using charcoals, carbon papers and oil, the council members helped the four housemates during the makeover process to turn them into celebrity “taong grasa.” During her confession, Y-Speaker of the House, Bianca, admitted that although she had a hard time playing the role of a “taong grasa,” she still enjoyed the punishment. “Okay lang din kasi nag-enjoy naman kami...feeling namin naglalaro lang kami. Siyempre, part din siya noong fun ng activity. In the end, sobrang nakakatawa nga ho kahit nakakapagod yun mga nangyari today.”
Aside from seeing the celebrities turned “taong grasa,” tonight’s episode of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition will also feature the housemates’ dance routine for the show’s theme song “Sikat ang Pinoy!” PBB celebrity edition airs after “Mga Angel Na Walang Langit” on ABS-CBN.
