After Bianca De Vera, Dustin Yu, and Will Ashley dropped by, the next OG “Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition” housemate to return to Bahay Ni Kuya was Shuvee Etrata, who arrived just in time to take on the “Ate” role for the younger “PBB Collab 2.0” housemates as Big Brother has officially separated the boys from the girls. Aww! This setup actually reminds us of her “PBB Collab” moniker—Island Ate ng Cebu.
But first, catch-up session with Kuya in the confession room! There, Shuvee shared how truly life-changing her “PBB Collab” journey turned out to be, especially when opportunities started pouring in after her exit. She told Kuya she already bought a 7-seater car and a new house and can now financially support her family in Cebu.
Another plot twist greeted the housemates at the start of a brand-new week as Big Brother announced that the girls and boys would be completely separated, meaning they can’t see each other, can’t talk to each other, and can’t cross paths in any corner of the house. Their first separate activities were a meal together for the boys and swimming time for the girls.
Of course, no one felt the 'sting' of this separation more than Fred Moser and Princess Aliyah, who are just beginning to explore whatever spark they have in their cute "talking stage," admitting they're going to miss each other.
As the houseguest, Shuvee stepped into her role as Big Brother’s designated ‘middlewoman,’ taking charge of coordinating the boys’ and girls’ schedules so they wouldn’t accidentally run into each other anywhere inside the house, figuring out which group would shower first, where the other group would stay in the meantime, and keeping an eye on everyone’s movements throughout the day until eventually, she got ready to spend her first night as a guest.
The next day, while they were in the kitchen, Shuvee casually asked the girls why they thought Big Brother had decided to separate them from the boys, prompting the girls to open up about the times they felt uncomfortable with some of the boys’ jokes, which they described as “green,” “inappropriate,” and "double meaning."
In other happenings, the house saw another round of nominations, with Heath Jornales and Lee Victor from Sparkle, and Iñigo and Fred from Star Magic, in the lineup.
Lee, who was nominated for the first time, got emotional as he confessed that it hurt even more knowing he’d be going head-to-head with his close friend Heath, and on top of that, he felt like he still hadn’t proven himself the way the others had.
Unbeknownst to Lee, Heath had also shared his thoughts with Miguel. In their conversation, Heath said he noticed Lee's determination to rise and fight for his spot in the house, and that he believes Lee has the potential of a Big Winner.
On Saturday, December 13, one Kapamilya and one Kapuso housemate will be bidding farewell to the "PBB" house and returning to the outside world. Don't miss an episode of "PBB Collab 2.0," available online via livestreams on the PBB YouTube Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), and iWant.
