Big Utol and Kuya discipline the Villa teens
Big Utol can play the strict guardian, too, it seems. While the Apartment teens have diligently cleaned their house, the Villa teens have been amiss in their household duties. Their messy quarters have already gone way past the point of tolerance, so much so that Big Utol decided to teach them a lesson. He called in Yong and Angelo and tasked them to clear the girls’ room of all litter as the rest of the house looked on. “Mas burara pa kayo kesa sa mga lalaki,” he admonished the girls. Likewise, Big Utol did not look past the mess in the boys’ room and gave the same consequence. Their things were confiscated indefinitely, and since most of their stuff were part of the mess, it was quite a significant loss. Fortunately, they were given a chance to redeem themselves. Given a 5-minute limit, the Villa teens had to clear the mess in their house, in exchange for their confiscated things. Their spic-and span house at the end of the time limit was proof that, harsh though it seemed, Big Utol’s discipline was quite effective after all.
Kuya had to end his vacation abruptly after grave violations were committed, and he too meted out harsh consequences. Joe, Kyra, Devon and Patrick were given automatic nominations while Shey was finally booted out. Sad though they were, they agreed with Kuya’s decision and believed that he had every reason to support it. Joe felt that he deserved it, as did the other three. Patrick and Kyra were sad about their nomination, but were more ashamed of their actions towards Tricia. After seeing the video clip and knowing that it was aired on live television, Devon felt the gravity of her action, especially when she took her family’s disappointment into account. Shey seemed unsure of how to react, and admitted that as much as she remembered the rule on nominations, she didn’t think that her expression of personal opinion would count. “Hindi ko naisip na it’s that general.”
After the announcement of Shey’s eviction, majority of the household stayed crowded around her to share in her sadness. Tricia, having just realized how she was regarded by the others in the house, opted to steal away to the poolside in tears. Jovic and Ivan followed her and tried to reason with her. Tricia shared her disappointment and hurt over the revelation, and couldn’t stop from sobbing. The two boys advised her to clear things out with Shey, something that they also said to Shey about Tricia.
Tricia chose to approach Devon first, who explained that Tricia’s changes were simply not enough to make a difference in impression. “Kung ayaw ninyong makita, hindi nyo talaga makikita,” Tricia reasoned. Shey followed soon after, offering an apology and an explanation, both of which taking quite a bit of effort on her part. For whatever it was worth, the two shared a quick hug before going their own way. To Kuya, Tricia shared that the apology meant a lot to her and that she decided to take the situation as an inspiration to be stronger. The entire experience, she shared, proved to be a turning point that would bring about a better side of her.
Before she left, Shey prepared a short dance for the other housemates. Accompanied by Emily, her doll that she brought in her pageant performances, she did a creative dance followed by a belly dancing routine. An act that was meant to entertain only brought about tears and feelings of loss from the rest, knowing that it meant farewell.
Life’s lessons don’t usually come easy. Most of the time, life deals a hard blow and it is only afterwards that the reason becomes clear. Hopefully, the housemates have learned much for surviving inside and outside of Kuya’s house.
