This week, the housemates have started rigorous preparations for their special weekly task, the One Goal concert. The One Goal concert on June 10 is a fund-raising event that will provide financial assistance to the Philippine Team scheduled to compete for the World Homeless Cup at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in September 2010.
The PBB teens will showcase their singing and dancing process in the said concert. And to further raise funds for the cause, the teenternationals and Pinoy housemates made promotional materials such as videos and limited edition memorabilia called "gold packages." A gold package consists of an autographed t-shirt, pictures and a copy of the "One Goal" concert. Each gold package will be sold at P500 a piece.
Apart from the gold package, ten "golden seats" shall be offered and will be sold at P10,000 each. The buyer of a golden seat is entitled to a concert seat inside Kuya's house with VIP treatment and a gold package.
Amidst the preparations, new challenges have cropped up involving three housemates Angelo Pasco, James Reid and Tricia Santos. During their rehearsals, Angelo and James fell ill and had to be given immediate medical attention. One of Kuya's house rules states that if a housemate seeking medical treatment will not be able to return to his house within 24 hours, the housemate will have to be evicted.
Unfortunately, Angelo had to undergo several tests regarding his condition. And as a result, he was "forcibly" evicted. The housemates were sad to see him go. On the other hand, James was allowed to return and "recuperate". Kuya spoke to the housemates and told them to take care and look after the welfare of James.
As for Tricia's case, she was diagnosed to have a "histrionic personality disorder" by PBB resident psychiatrist, Dr. Dellosa. According to Dr. Dellosa, people with a histrionic personality are characterized to be dramatic, attention-seekers and flirtatious. Tricia's histrionic personality is often a source of conflict among the housemates. Tricia appears to be "insensitive" and always seeking attention. Tricia was confronted about her attitude by the housemates on several occasions and she would tell them that she is trying her best to change for the better; the changes were never really carried out.
Dr. Dellosa recommended a couple of solutions that will help Tricia become more sensitive as a person. First, the housemates were asked to lavish attention on her. Secondly, the next strategy is for them to limit their interaction and give her "the cold shoulder" or the "silent treatment." Tricia felt clueless and rejected by her peers. The housemates were asked to do the "silent treatment" for several days. They found difficulty doing this task; they felt the "hurt" Tricia was feeling.
After quite sometime, Tricia spoke to Kuya about her housemates' behavior. Kuya felt it was the right time to reveal to her the truth. He told her that the treatment she got from her co-housemates will help her change her character and be more sensitive. Afterwards, Kuya gave the "go" signal to the housemates to explain to Tricia the truth behind the harsh treatment. Each housemate opened up to Tricia and Tricia seemed to be receptive to their explanations.
A light and fun task called "Coin tong Impostor" was given by Kuya for the housemates to do. Each had to wear a stocking with a hole at the mouth area. The task was for them to coin "move" from the top of their head until it reaches the mouth. The housemates were divided into two groups - Pinoys versus the Teenternationals. And in this challenge, the Teenternationals won. For their prize, they were allowed to watch the drama series Impostor provided that they are able to fix the antenna of the TV. The teenternationals had a grand time watching the show at their former "Apartment" home. When they returned, they told the Pinoy housemates out of sheer fun that they had a massage, did other stuff and watched Impostor.
Kuya then made two unexpected announcements. The first announcement delighted the housemates. Sales of the gold package and the golden seats were doing great. Out of the 500 gold packages, 375 were sold while four golden seats were sold out of ten. Six more golden seats are up for grabs.
The other announcement was directed towards the four nominated housemates namely Bret Jackson, Jenny Kim, Devon Seron and Tricia Santos. Kuya has decided to "extend" their stay to give way to the One Goal concert preparations and move the eviction night to next week. For now, all the nominees are safe for this week.
