Mariel Rodriguez strikes again inside "PBB" house

Mariel Rodriguez should be singing "Oops, I Did It Again!" while inside the Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) house.

Maraming naging issue si Mariel sa first stint niya as special houseguest sa PBB Celebrity Edition Season 2. Matatandaang sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya narinig kung paano niya laitin ang mga contestant ng kinu-co-host niyang noontime show na Wowowee, na mababaho raw ang mga ito. Nasabihan din niyang baduy ang pinanggalingan niyang network na GMA-7, while talking with another ex-Kapuso talent na si Megan Young.

Nang pansamantalang pinalabas si Mariel sa PBB house, humingi siya ng dispensa sa audience sa mga inasal niya—subtly implying that some of the things she'd done ay dahil sa pag-uutos ni Kuya para mailabas ang tunay na ugali ng ibang celebrity housemates.

Friday night, December 28, sa 24/7 live stream ng PBB, pagkarami-rami ang nag-react sa pagmumura ni Mariel sa celebrity housemate na si Riza Santos habang lasing na nakikipag-usap ang PBB co-host kay Ethel Booba.

In the middle of the stag party with a Reggae theme for Ruben Gonzaga, na ikakasal pagkalabas sa Bahay ni Kuya, na-focus ang camera sa pag-uusap nina Mariel at Ethel. Ang isa pang co-housemate nilang si Will Devaughn ang subject ng usapan nila na tumakbo ng ganito:

ETHEL: Nakatingin ako kay Will, e. Hopeless na.
MARIEL: Hindi ka hopeless.
ETHEL: Gusto ko siya.
MARIEL: Totoo na ito?

(Tumango si Ethel.)

MARIEL: Pu--ng inang virgin na ‘to (Riza). Pu__ng ina talaga! Pu_i siya. Ki_i ng ina niya!

Biglang na-cut ang live feed sa aktong magwawala na yata si Mariel.

Sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya, sina Mariel at Ethel ang naging magkasangga. Si Riza ang pinagtuunan ng galit ni Mariel dahil maganda ang samahan ng beauty queen with Will, na crush naman ni Ethel.

Hindi pa bumabalik ang live feed nang tumawag at nag-text ang mga sources namin ng balitang ito Biyernes ng hatinggabi.

Ano naman kayang paliwanag ang gagawin ngayon ni Mariel sa naging asal niyang ito sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya? Ano rin kaya ang magiging reaksiyon ni Kuya at ng manager ni Mariel na si Boy Abunda?

Mariel's Happy Return

Tonight, we have glimpsed the conclusion of Gladys voluntary exit which weighed heavily on Big Sister. Big Brother checked in on her twice to make sure that everything's going smoothly despite Gladys protests to come out. Her depression lasted throughout day 57 and reached its climax when she burst into tears just when they were about to carry out their gift-giving activity. As such, everyone gathered in the girls bedroom to comfort her, leaving the 30 chosen kids waiting for the merry event to start. After the Queen of Patawa's sobs died down, she then told them to proceed with the task without her.

The experience certainly brought in the spirit of Christmas for the Santa Housemates met the
kids in person and even gave them a sleigh ride in the garden. Baron acted as Santa Claus while the rest of the guys played as his reindeers. They later reflected on the blessing of becoming instruments in bestowing joy through such simple endeavors. For them, seeing the young ones brighten up upon receiving their gifts was truly a priceless experience.

The next morning proved to be a better one for both Gladys and Big Sister. Though the Queen of Patawa was still unyielding towards her decision to leave, she's calm enough to wait for Big Brother's return. Hearing his voice in the middle of their afternoon game immediately lightened her mood, knowing that the time had finally arrived for her to leave. Together with the housemates, she found the consent she's been asking for and left without the grandeur that usually marked a Saturday Eviction Night.

Not long after that, Big Brother called Jon in the confession room for the exclusive privilege of unraveling Big Sister's location in the secret room. In true PBB fashion, Mariel's homecoming was kept in suspense for sometime as the English Outcast fooled around by trying to emulate Big Brother's voice. What's more, he was the first one to welcome her in the flesh! Baron later joined them but he quickly went out to give the "lovebirds" their privacy. Then finally, everyone sought Mariel in her hideout to give her warm hugs for her happy return.

Now that Gaby dropped her earlier decision to leave and both Mariel and Ethel are back as houseguests with a mission.

Hello Mariel! Good-bye Donnie! Hello Ethel? Good-bye Gaby?

A week outside the yellow house left Mariel longing for her fellow housemates, who had a very fun week with their anime and good will tasks. This evening, Kuya asked Mariel if she wanted to go back and stay with the HMs and the pretty host said yes. With Big Brother off to an official business next week, he puts Mariel in-charge of the whole household as the Big Sister. Mariel gladly accepted the task, which will begin tomorrow. How would the HMs react to her presence again plus additional authority from Kuya?

In the other hand, Donnie was the fifth evictee. Will walked away with 39.42% of the votes. Jon took in 33.15% while Donnie ended up with 27.43%. Like the HMs before him Donnie left his footprints at the Celebrity Walk of Fame.

Toni also broke the news of Gaby wanting to make a voluntary exit after finishing her punishment for damaging her lapel mic in the pool. Gaby explained that during her first exit, she really wanted to stay for she felt that there were a lot of things yet for her to experience. But after her ‘come back’, she suddenly just felt that she has already experienced everything there is inside. Big Brother though gave her time to re-think her decision. He in turn will also analyze the situation and give her a final answer soon.

Kuya actually has not only this to think about but another former HM’s request just recently. The Ultimate Pasaway has come knocking on his door one more and is asking for a second chance. “OK na ako, OK na ang puso ko,” was Ethel’s opening statement to Kuya. She also told him that a lot of things definitely changed for her outside his house besides her love life. “Paglabas ko wala na akong kaibigan…Nakita nila ang totoong Ethel, kaya lumayo sila…Iba na ang trato ng tao sa akin noong lumabas ako kasi may respeto. I thank you for that. Pati family ko nakilala ako.” Ethel gratefully told Big Brother. She then expressed her reasons for wanting to return to his abode and finish the entire season. “Gusto ko sila samahan hanggang matapos ‘to, pwede ba tayong magtulungan?”
