for myself, i can't stand watching pbb on tv anymore (this thread serves as my official feed, hehe). gee-ann's sister told me last week, after the balik bahay scheme was announced, that she was already contemplating on pulling her out... i don't know if they can actually do that, but i'm sure gee-ann's family is more than irked at last night's development. from what i know, it was dyogi himself who told gee-ann to go on a diet before she entered the house, and we know what her unnatural weight loss caused after. he even assured the family that gee-ann was one of his favorites (funnily, abs-cbn kept reminding gee-ann's family to vote every time she got nominated, even implying that they don't vote enough). anyway, if this whole wendy debacle is a sampling of dyogi's favoritism, then it's good for gee-ann that she isn't a favorite after all. i'm curious what wendy's career options are after pbb.

it's disgusting, to say the least. i wonder what abs-cbn is planning with this blatant disregard for public sentiment. they're pretty much alienating their own audience.

i don't really care what happens anymore... i'll just take a cue from indie's suggestion and download all the images here: http://www.jaymeejoaquin.com/beta/mainsite.html

here's a link i found with the minicar task... i didn't realize he crammed them in for two hours. that's not only unethical (this is abs-cbn standard, after all), but downright stupid. the past two days unusually hot and humid, and people have actually died from the weather (like kuya cesar). this kind of irresponsibility is what the mtrcb should be watching out for.

Yup......and they actually edited that out in PT, and made a spin out of that task. If I was Gee-ann's mom or sis....I would have pulled her out right there. Totally irresponsible. Dumb task too.

BOO BB!!!!!

What they are doing to the show is simply savage and barbarous...and thats an understatement.

It's very distasteful and offensive.

LIES. LIES...and MORE LIES!

DYOGI... u make me vomit blood.

Wendy got the highest percentage of votes at 54%.

Toni Gonzaga proclaiming that this week's voting is the highest in this season.

Do you believe that bullshyet?? I dont.

It's spin control on ABS-CBN's part. It's probably true, because:

- the only ones who voted are the B!tch's fans
- the other fans who should've voted don't even care anymore, so they didn't vote

I myself don't watch PBB anymore, as the show has become a f**king farce.
It looks like my initial predictions will become true, that everything is being orchestrated for a WendyB!tch and BrucetheCluelessIdiot placement in the Big4.

indie boi · « **Reply #905 on:** May 21, 2007 at 10:22 AM »

Here's something I just read on another forum. I don't know if it's true, I'll leave it up to you guys to decide:

prettygurl, i do not know if we have the same friend but i also have a friend who is currently a staff of pbb.

in addition sa lhat ng cnb ni prettygurl..... sina mikah, jasmin, zeke at kian ang original 4 ex-housemates na dapat magbabalik-bahay dahil 2 weeks p nga lng nung matanggal c wendy. hindi kasama c wendy sa original 4. pero nabalitaan daw ni wendy ung balik bahay at sumugod sa pbb management na bakit daw d sya kasama. hindi na nya alam kung ano nangyari sa pag-uusap ni wendy at ni dyogi pero paglabas daw ng conference room, sb ni dyogi na papalitan ni wendy c mikah.(nasa japan na c jeremy kya d sya kasali)

second part..... it is true na dinaya ang mga boto. jasmin got 54.04% of the 900,000+ votes na nakuha ng pbb. pero pinalabas nila n c wendy ung nakakuha ng highest # of votes. sb nila na di naman daw mahahalata kc nga 10% lng nakuha ni jasmin nung 1st eviction night at marami daw negative comments kay jasmin nung pbb stint nya. kaya hayaan na lng daw.

third part....... hindi daw dapat bibigyan ng chans ni BB ung 2 talo ng chans na magbalik even for a day. pero dahil dinaya na nga nila c jasmin ginawa nila to. it was really for jasmin pero para d halata sinabay c zeke at inuna pa. kaya kung papansinin nyo, di rin alam ni toni ung nangyari kagb dahil kagb rin lng ginawa ung balik bahay for a day nina zeke at jasmin.

fourth part........meron ng big 4 ngaun plng. cna wendy, bodie, at 2 s cnumang aabot. nag-usap n daw ung tatay ni bodie at ang pbb staff at pet ni dyogi c wendy. pero in case daw na landslide(which means sobranglaki ng lamang ng kalaban) mapipilitan clang i-evict cna bodie at wendy.

fifth part........kakarating lng n blita. alam na ng kaibigan ko kung bakit di ksali c dionne. kc nga kakalabas lng nya kaya hindi sya sinama. pero ang mas interesting, c dionne daw ang nakakuha ng 61+% nung fifth eviction. c nel ung 39+%. pero kailangan na nilang alisin c dionne ksi lumalakas ang fan base nya. and that opportunity cam nung nanominate c nel kc nga unang beses kaya d p subok ang fan base. so inevict c dionne.

As far as I'm concerned, they've been manipulating and rigging the voting results since season one...

Wala bang DTI representative dito? O pati yun nabayaran?

Blade · « **Reply #908 on:** May 21, 2007 at 02:44 PM »

same here bro ronan...
dina rin ako nanonood ng pbb since the balik bahay scheme...
ang dayaaaa & its too unfair to the guys na dipa na-evict...
gusto lang ata nila mabuo yung mga labtims di gawin na nila hanggang 200+ days tapos up to maging mag-syota & manganak sila sa loob ng pbb house...hehehe...
babalik na ako sa bakekang...meron pa ba nun...bwahahaha...

allanmandy · « **Reply #909 on:** May 21, 2007 at 05:46 PM »

Unfortunately, Bakekang ended a couple of months ago. But I'd rather watch reruns of it (if ever they show it again) than Pinoy Butch & Bruce, este, Pinoy Big Brother.

clea · « **Reply #910 on:** May 21, 2007 at 06:34 PM »

I hope someone starts a rally outside of PBB house and demand that a DTI representative be always present during voting or ensure people of a live feed of all the counting....

I hope this blatant disregard for the viewers' opinion cause this franchise's downfall

Is it possible for someone to email Endemol and explain to them the situation and how PBB has been destroying the concept of the show?

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #911 on:** May 21, 2007 at 07:30 PM »

I actually tried that, but couldn't find the proper email address at the Endemol site for complaints. It seems more like a corporate site, where the links are all for franchise negotiations and such.

indie boi · « **Reply #912 on:** May 21, 2007 at 09:26 PM »

Here's an article I recently read on BB Australia and how it and BB UK is run... http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,,1813006,00.html

There are a few telling paragraphs in the feature article, namely, these:

What makes it unlikely that Big Brother will be taken off the air, abroad or back home in Britain, is the tentacular spread of its revenue-generating potential. Reality television is both the cheapest to make and the biggest potential earner for its co-producers, not to mention the communications companies and ISPs. One of the mysteries of Big Brother is just how much money is made by telephone voting and who really gets it. In February this year, Endemol UK signed a new deal with BT. If telephone votes for evictions are electronically logged it should be possible to see the progress of voting day by day, but the producers choose not to make any part of the process public.

The Advertising Standards Authority is reported to be investigating the circumstances in which Suzie Verrico got into this year's British Big Brother house. Endemol and Nestlé collaborated on a four-week golden ticket campaign which persuaded buyers of KitKat chocolate bars that if they found one of 100 tickets hidden in the packaging they could win entry into the Big Brother house. The housemates themselves got the impression that the election of Verrico from among the golden ticket holders was engineered. The ASA report will probably not be ready till months after the series has finished, and when it is published no one will give a damn.

In Britain, Ofcom dealt with dozens of complaints about last year's Big Brother and found the producers at fault only for minor instances of watershed violation. In its defence, Ofcom points out that "much of television is artificial". Indeed, but Big Brother is supposed not to be.

++++++++

It looks like the allegations of vote rigging is not an isolated incident as we thought. In the piece it also revealed that Endemol does not listen to complaints from viewers. I wonder if they will listen to complaints about the controversies in the local franchise.

Who among you guys still watch the primetime show?

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #914 on:** May 22, 2007 at 10:49 PM »

I did watch the nominations on Sunday, and it was totally worth it - I've never seen any contestant on any BB franchise be as pikon and angry at being nominated as Robert was. He didn't even try to hide it with a smile or even tears to try to get sympathy votes. He had pure hatred in his eyes towards everyone.

Haven't watched since then, though. Not the show nor the live feeds. Puwede pa bang magpa-half refund?

indie boi · « **Reply #915 on:** May 22, 2007 at 11:22 PM »

Same here. I watched the nominations but after that the most I'd do is to catch 30 second glimpses of the live feeds. It's usually enough because more or less you'll only see Wendy's face. I observed though that Yen and Hannah are visibly trying their best to get as far away from Wendy as possible without looking like they know something. Did you see Hannah's face when Wendy entered the house? It was mixture of shock and dread, hehe.

I also found Robert's reaction quite entertaining. Mukha talagang galit hehe.

AshKetchum · « **Reply #916 on:** May 23, 2007 at 06:26 AM »

I don't watch the primetime show or the live feeds anymore, which is good, because it enabled me to get reacquainted with my PS2, heh.

Some friends who still glimpse at the live feed occasionally mentioned that the cameras kept following the WendyB!tch over and over, no matter where she went, yesterday afternoon during the boat building task.

I think ABS-CBN will now do the "St. Wendy" damage control crap they did for Cass during Season 1--so expect streetchildren, nuns, kids with cancer, homeless people or whoever else they can find to proclaim that the skanky ho helped them, and because of that she's really a good person. Of course, they'll also show her shedding fake tears, complete with a lip-quivering and voice trembling performance that's worthy of a Razzie.

i'll let my tukayo do the talking:

Direk Joey Reyes lambasts "Pinoy Big Brother" Season 2
Archie de Calma
Wednesday, May 23, 2007

Lumabas ang isang mahabang artikulong pumupuna sa nilalaman—o kawalan nito—ng Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Season 2 na isinulat ng award-winning director na si Jose Javier Reyes at nailathala sa isang kilalang broadsheet. Ayon kay Direk Joey, wala naman daw pamemersonal ang pamumuna niya sa reality show ng ABS-CBN.

Naniniwala si Direk Joey na kung gaya niyang identified din sa Dos ang sumulat nito, mas paniniwalaan ng mga mambabasa. Kasi nga, kung mismong Kapamilya na raw ang nagsulat, mahirap na basta pagdudahan ang motibo ng writer.

Dapat daw ay ipinapakita ng housemates kung paano sila humarap sa mga pagsubok. If under pressure, paano sila magre-react at kikilos, depende sa situwasyon.

"But they are not being given opportunities to show their real selves. Paano mangyayari 'yon kung puro kabulastugan ang ipinapagawa sa kanila, gaya ng pagluluto ng banana cue? Ano 'yon?" sabi ni Direk Joey.

Halatang pinapanood ni Direk Joey ang show kaya may karapatan talaga siyang mamuna. Gaya na lang nang ang mga housemate daw ay pagsuutin ng Spider-Man costumes. May time na Pirates of the Caribbean naman daw ang ipinu-promote sa show.

"Too much commercialism na ang nangyayari," sabi ng direktor. "Ini-inject na nga ang mga produktong ini-endorse sa mismong show, wala pang koneksiyon talaga sa kung ano ba talaga ang main objective ng palabas na 'yan. Naghahasik na lang sila ng kobobohan!"

Among the PBB Season 2 housemates, ang nagustuhan daw ni Direk Joey ay si Mickey Perz dahil ito raw ang nagpapakita ng totoo sa sarili. Si Mickey 'yong lumabas noong una na Swiss boy na hindi nakakaintindi ng Tagalog.

Halos lait-laitin naman ni Direk si Nel Rapiz, ang housemate na wala raw ginawa kung hindi umiyak. At may feeling artista na nga ito na naghahanap ng anggulo at ng kamerang puwedeng pag-emote-an.

"'Yong Nel ang hindi ko maitindihan kung ano ang drama. He's becoming such a media-whore. 'Yong pumasok na Slovanian [Tina Semolic] sa Bahay ni Kuya, pinalabas na siya ang type. Ano 'yon? Feeling ng babae, isa itong tarsier na puwede niyang iuwi sa bansa nila?" walang takot na sabi ni Direk Joey.

Iyong drama naman daw nina Bruce Quebral at Wendy Valdez ang talagang nakakasuka, ayon kay Direk Joey. Iyak daw nang iyak si Bruce sa pagkaka-evict ni Wendy, 'tapos sa paglabas naman nito, tuwang-tuwa sa pagsalubong ng maraming tao sa kanya.

"Hayun, tawa ako nang tawa nang mabalitaan kong may pagsasamahang episode sa Your Song ang dalawa [Bruce and Wendy]. Hindi ako nagkamali sa gagawing manipulation ng programa sa dalawang housemates," sabi uli ni Direk.

Nai-email na raw sa lahat ng executives ng ABS-CBN ang isinulat na artikulo ni Direk Joey. Nakatanggap na rin daw ang direktor ng unfavorable feedback mula sa big bosses ng Kapamilya Network.

"Galit sila, at keber ko ba?" sabi ni Direk Joey. "Mayroon daw susunod na Pinoy Dream Academy kung saan kinuha nila akong faculty member noon, di ba? Pero hindi ko na inaasahan na ipapasok pa nila ako doon pagkatapos ng mga isinulat at sinabi ko about PBB.

"Doon lang ako sa tama. Enough of this kabobohan on national TV, and resorting to these things, para lang kumita ng pera!" matapang na ipinahayag ni Direk Joey.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #920 on:** May 24, 2007 at 01:47 PM »

That's frickin' hilarious!

My question is: If practically every one of us on this forum feels that way, and even their own sister-franchise show instructor feels that way... why the hell is Dyogi still playing God, and why does ABS-CBN allow him to? Did ratings improve with this Balik-Bahay disaster he cooked up?

JollyBMcDonald · « **Reply #921 on:** May 24, 2007 at 08:35 PM »

He's the master manipulator (as he did with the votes), so he may have been manipulating the minds of the bosses to believe the rating is up.

I'm inclined to believe Bruce is the HM mentioned by Mariel in the news this evening where she said that the winner this season will be a boy.

Buti na lang di na ko nanonood since that balik-Wendy day. Sila na lang maglokohan.

I'm enjoying more the reactions in this forum than spending my precious time being bombarded with the faces of Bruce and Wendy biatch.

Phulboss, what was Gee-ann's goal for joining PBB? Did she also want to get into showbusiness? I'm just curious because she seems to be a very nice girl.

By the way, who got evicted last night? I didn't bother turning on the tv last night. It was far more entertaining cleaning out the gunk that accumulated on my PC.

indie boi · « **Reply #924 on:** May 27, 2007 at 12:23 PM »

Were there a lot of people in the eviction hall? I passed by the house at around 9pm. Usually an hour or so before a live show the place is already half full of people with more people lined up outside. But there were absolutely no people in the hall when I passed. There weren't any queues outside too. It was raining but from what I've seen before rains do not stop people from lining up for a free show.

she's not really a stranger to showbiz, from what i know... she's already gone through several handlers (including a rather sleazy one). gee-ann and her sister frequently get approached in the malls by those guys (you know how it works)... i guess one only has to get asked enough times, hehe. she's most probably interested in showbiz (hence her ditching college), although i'm also aware that her family are major pbb fans. it's 1+1=2 for her, i guess. if she does indeed join showbiz after, i just hope she acts better than most of the pbb school-of-acting alumni, hehe.

on that other note, she really is a nice girl (although she's also done a good job of keeping her anger in check inside the house

). she's not much different from other girls her age, although dellosa did evaluate her to be something of a narcissist, hehe. at the very least, i know she possesses a good sense of morals.

Thanks for the info, Phulboss. I saw Gee-ann's sis on TV and she's really purtty!

I tried watching PBB again last night and I can honestly say the magic's gone for me. I really can't bear to see Wendy, Bruce or Nel without feeling that a lot of people have been stiffed because of internal manipulations.

By the way, if anyone still watches, what was that thing about Hannah and Kian that some people were referencing in other forums?
