The housemates have a new addition to their household: worms! Both houses had to take care of these environmental agents and keep them in their special crate of soil. They introduced themselves to the wrigglers and transferred them to their new home, using only their hands. Of all the housemates, it was Carol who had no qualms about handling the slimy worms, to the amazement of the others.
Though she demonstrated perfect calmness on something that would have other girls squealing, Carol gave in to her emotions during the pool battle. She was pitted against Yuri, who was all out in bopping Carol with the foam pole. Being hit in the face had her scrunching up her face in tears, and had to be comforted by Rica afterwards.
The pool game began with a rap prepared by both teams, in lieu of a team cheer. Melai and Patria led their respective houses, and both were game to think up lines to throw at the other. All in clean fun, of course.
If Melai was as easily affected by such things, she would have given up the game since Jason found various ways to irk her every day. Jason added to his list of pranks by squeezing lotion onto Maelai’s hair, asking her to sit on shaving cream and offering her a weird drink. Though Melai would constantly tell him off and retaliate physically in self-defense, the two seem to gravitate even more towards each other. Is this a case of “the more you hate, the more you love” ? He could have gotten away with his pranks, but Jason was not able to escape Kuya’s watchful eyes. He committed a lapel violation, as did Tom, Rica and Rob. Kuya tasked them to stick close to each other and share one microphone as punishment.
To get the housemates warmed up for the numerous games, Kuya sent in Mommy D and the Comedy Concert Queen to act as fitness instructors. Mommy D taught a mix of flexibility exercises and ballroom dancing, choosing Jason as her dance partner. Ms. Ai Ai kept House A running and twisting, and though exhausted herself, claimed that it was indeed worth the sweat.

Earlier today, Kuya gathered the house teams to declare the winner of the second battle. First team to win three out of five will be this week’s winner, and would enjoy the benefits of a full budget. House B was clearly ahead in the first half of the game, but House A caught up in the second half. However, one housemate failed to acknowledge the change of rules for the second half. This caused them the win, as the second part of the game was considered void, awarding the win to House B. Rob, the one at fault, had difficulty accepting the decision, feeling that the instant changing of rules was unfair. The other housemates urged him to let it go and to focus on the following games instead, until Yuri and Marielle pointed out that their neighbors also committed violations of the original rule. That Rob’s violation was punished yet the others overlooked riled everyone, and they discussed how to present their case to Kuya. They would have been okay with the decision, except that they felt the decision showed an unfair bias in favor of their opponent.
The games have increased the competition between the two houses, and inevitably, among their respective housemates. Winning did not equate to teamwork and sportsmanship as much as it did survival. No longer was it simple play; it has become a desperate fight for survival. The latter would require ruthlessness and a no holds barred fight, pushing one to disregard humane aspects such as sensitivity and compassion. This realization moved Tom to tears, and he began to question his actions and self-control. He reacted negatively to the other team, and realized that the competition was pushing him to be violent and abrasive. “I don’t want to be violent, and I know that if I play, I play to win.” As with any game, he explained, one plays for his team, but all in fun. However, with the weekly budget at stake, the games have become a fight for survival, and that would mean doing everything possible to ensure his team does not go hungry. But if it meant being pushed to hurt others, “I won’t be able to forgive myself. If that’s the side that has to come out, I’d rather leave. I don’t want that side to come out.” Just thinking negatively towards the others left him full of guilt. Tom felt scared of what he could do. “I can’t function that way. Kung ganoon ‘yung rules, I don’t want to play; I want to leave.” Patrick, quite emotional himself, tried to comfort Tom. He reassured Tom that he just had to control himself more, and believe that he would not hurt others. Tom felt that he could not contribute anything anymore, which Patrick countered by saying that his presence alone was enough contribution.
The games have gotten fiercer, as both houses are gritting their teeth to be at the top. If the fan dance pushed the limits of their physical reservations, what other beliefs will this week’s games contest?

As a consequence for Tom and Jason’s shower violation, Big Brother sternly commanded that no other housemate, aside from both of them, will be able to take a shower for a day. Fortunately, Tom’s housemates were able to take the bad news lightly. Aware that he was very much sorry to have dragged them in his mess, his housemates gladly accepted his apology together with the challenge bestowed upon them.
In contrast, Jason’s housemates were pretty pissed upon hearing what he had to say. Paul Jake couldn’t hold himself from personally telling Jason that he is truly inconsiderate. Surprisingly, even favorable Melissa felt a little annoyed with infamous Jason. After giving out her sermon to the lad, she insistently forces him to apologize to everyone for his misdeed.
On the other hand, House A and House B’s head on battle is starting to heat up, most especially after Big Brother raised the stakes for this week’s task. For their second Pinoy Big Battle match entitled “Higad Tayo,” an eerie sense of competition freely flows all over the arena; and brought about by everyone’s struggle to win the said round, someone gets badly hurt along the way. Who could this poor housemate possibly be? Find out by staying tuned on the latest updates of Pinoy Big Brother Double Up.
