MANILA – The Pinoy Big Brother house welcomed a new set housemates as the newest reincarnation of the hit reality show kicked off Sunday night.
The identities of the new boarders of the PBB house, arguably the most famous house in the country, were revealed in the premiere of the new season of the show dubbed “Pinoy Big Borther Double Up.”
They were Princess, dubbed the “Sassy Vamp” from Cebu; Tom, the “Romantic Stud” from Samar; Delio, the “Simpatikong Kusinero” from Batangas; Paul Jake, the “Negosyo Prince” of Cebu; Jason, “Boy Astig” from Mindoro;
Melisa, the “Inday Kengkay” from General Santos; Yuri, the “Multilingual Hottie” from Japan; Carol, the “Conservative Pharmacist” from Tondo; Mariel, the “Struggling Mom” from Davao; and Yhel, the “Young Widow” from Pampanga.
There were also two sets of twins: Toffi the “Basket-Bolero” and Kenny the “Joker Jock”, twin basketball players from Rizal; and JP and JM, a flight attendant (a.k.a. the “Jetsetter Dad”) and an IT specialist (a.k.a. the “Delightful Dad”), respectively.
The premiere of the show was dubbed “The Magical Reveal” due to the magic tricks used to introduced by the housemates.
They were welcomed to the house with performances by past housemates, as well as the show’s hosts, Bianca Gonzales, Mariel Rodriguez, and Toni Gonzaga.
Two houses
In a new twist, the PBB house has been divided into two separate houses, each with a group of housemates.
In this new setup, the two sets of housemates do not know that there is a second house. The twins will be separated – each pair will have one representative in each house. There will be times that the twins will switch houses. However, they are not allowed to tell the other housemates of the existence of the other house, nor the existence of their twin brother.
Big Brother said that if they are successful in keeping the secret, they would escape the first elimination round. He also said that in case any of the other housemates find out of the twist, the two sets of twins will face forced eviction.
“This is the first time we are doing this for Big Brother. Even globally, first time ito. Ipinaalam ko noong pumunta ako sa main office nila sa Amsterdam nitong Hunyo,” PBB Business Unit Head Laurenti Dyogi said in an earlier interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com.
‘Kuya’ to help Ondoy victims
In the wake of tropical storm Ondoy’s devastation, Dyogi also divulged that “Kuya” will also do his share to help the flood victims.
“Si Kuya kasi minsan ang mga plano niya, hindi sinasabi sa amin. So, pati kaming involved sa programa, hinuhulaan namin. Pero I’m sure knowing Kuya, hindi siya papayag na walang involvement ang programa at housemates sa nangyaring kalamidad,” Dyogi said.
Dyogi said it’s unfortunate for the calamity to happen a week before the premiere of PBB Double Up. He said the airing of the show on Sunday is timely since it will bring happiness and entertainment to all the people affected by Ondoy.
