Pinoy Big Brother

Ahhhh finally! The Filipino version of Big Brother has started! And of course, reality freak that I am, I'm already addicted to it! It's such a shame that I wasn't able to watch the two primers ABS-CBN aired. But I did watch the housemates (HMs) entering the Big Brother house last night...

The whole introduction show was kinda lame actually. The music being played by the band while the HMs arrived were downright cheesy. And there are some coordination snafus. But thank goodness the HMs salvaged this first night of the show. All of them seem very interesting and they will all lend different personalities to the show. But I was a little surprised that there are a lot of good looking HMs, especially after ABS-CBN's press release that they were not looking for just pretty faces.

As early as now, I already have some favorites and not-so-favorites. Of course I'm just in love with the half-Pinoy half-Israeli UMA!!! When they introduced him last night, I was practically drooling. He is so cute! Well the photo on the left does not do him justice but trust me! And he seems to have a great personality. Of all the HMs, he seems to be the most relaxed. He was actually the only one who was wearing casual clothes! And there was a hint in his interview that he might be a bisexual. Yippee!

Now this gal is my current least favorite HM. My initial reaction when she was introduced was that she's the token fat girl in the show. So I thought that'll be good since the token characters are actually the interesting ones. And she's interesting all right but in a bad way. The moment they entered the house, she was already bossing the HMs around, which is never a good sign. Other people seem to have noticed that too and she's not gaining a lot of fans. So unless the HMs don't nominate her or if she does not show a good side, it seems to be a sure bet that she'll be the first one to be evicted.

My only regret with this new addiction of mine is that I won't be able to satiate that addiction... I'm still in the office during the show's airing on ABS-CBN and their live streaming service requires payment. Waaahhhh!
