Melai’s Family Fighting over Her Cash Prize?

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 04:11:30 +0000

Hottest showbiz gossip about Melai Cantiveros is that becoming the Big Winner of the Pinoy Big Brother Double Up Edition is that her family is squabbling and fighting over the money she won.

Melai won P1 million in cash prize, P2.5 million worth house and lot, 40 inch LCD TV, Asian Trip for two and a water refilling business. She is presently also doing lots of TV guestings aside from having a regular show “Melason In Love” with her true-to-life boyfriend Jason.

For this rumor, Melai answered and clarified the issue:

Hindi naman totoong nagkakagulo dahil sa pera. Kakakuha ko lang nung one million na cash prize ko. Ibigay ko ‘yung iba siguro kay mama kasi kailangan naming magbayad ng mga utang, over over sa dami. Nangutang din si mama para may ipang-text siya sa akin para ma-save ako sa PBB. Babayaran ko muna ‘yun.

Melissa shared that she will also be very wise on handling her cash prize especially when people who know her are asking for “balato”.

She is for now, together with her ex-housemates undergoing acting workshops under the tutelage of Star Magic, and expect the Melason to be seen more on TV as they will star on Kokey@Ako with Sam Milby and Angel Locsin.

I think this is a very usual when a not-so-financially ok contestant wins a big cash prize. Certainly, with rumors like this, it only tells that Melai is slowly but surely becoming a big star in Pinoy showbiz.

What do you think of the rumor that Melai’s family is fighting over her cash prize? Excited to see her star on Kokey@Ako?

PBB Housemate Carol Bantay Still Bitter with Hermes

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:43:51 +0000

I was browsing over some Facebook status messages and I stumbled upon a post on the PBB site about PBB Double Up Housemate Carol Bantay.

Well, we can all very well remember her as the small lady with a very conservative background who was a cry baby and fought for her love for Hermes Bautista to no avail ending up nursing a broken heart after eviction as the guy was in love with Cathy.

So the questions were, will Carol try to see Hermes given the chance to do some catching up and maybe rekindle her feelings for the hot and sexy housemate from Pampanga?

This is what Carol said after being asked if they could become good friends despite what they have been through inside the PBB house:

Hindi pa kami nakakapag-usap. Civil naman kami ngayon. For me naman wala nang dapat pag-usapan. Na-resolve ko naman na ‘yung issue ko on my own. Okay na ako.

Mas maganda kung civil na lang kami. The truth is sa pagkakilala ko sa kanya hindi siya ‘yung tipo ng taong gugustuhin kong maka-hang out o maging very close friend. ‘Yung totoo, lahat naman tayo may karapatan to choose our friends.

It sounds to me that Carol is still bitter about being busted by Hermes and treated instead as a younger sister. Move on girl

What do you think of Carol’s statement against Hermes? Do you think she still bitter?

Melisa Cantiveros or Melai, the Big Winner of PBB Double Up has been making rounds on so many TV shows for interviews and guestings. Of course, she is usually not all by herself but with Jason her fellow housemate and now boyfriend.

During the The Bottomline interview with Boy Abunda (watch videos of The Bottomline interview here), Melai was asked if she will undergo any cosmetic surgery to improve her looks knowing that she has been teased since she was still a little girl about her physical aspect. She answered in the negative as she said she is confident about they way she looks.

Once again, the newest and hottest Pinay celebrity today was interviewed on dzMM last Sunday of she wants to undergo “cosmetic enhancement surgeries”.

Melai said,

Hindi po ako magre-retoke. Injection nahihirapan na ako. Paano pa kaya mga opera-opera?

Melai and Jason has a new show that premiered today, Monday. It is a realityserye about their funny romantic relationship entitled “Melason” every Monday-Friday, 10 AM and on Saturdays after MMK.

Any particular part of the body that you would want Melai to subject to cosmetic enhancement surgery? Share your comment

MTRCB Should Already Take A Serious Look at PBB “Resbak Attack”

admin — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:33:46 +0000

The “Resbak Attack” episode and twist of PBB has become trashy, lame, cheap and sickening. These are only some of the comments of readers when I originally posted my own critique of the new twist at the Big Brother house, venting off my personal resolve that the show has lost its appeal by putting in a shallow concept for a twist full of violence, verbal abuse and scandalous actuations from former housemates just to test the patience and reveal the real selves of the remaining housemates.

For those who haven’t read yet that post, it is here on “Intellectualizing PBB Resbak Attack, the Mudslinging and All”.

Commenters like Kitkat who was also an avid fan of the show (take note of the word “was”) felt that the show has gone overboard saying,

Filipino viewers are more intelligent than what they think. There are lots of creative ideas on how to do that ‘resbak.’ Let them engage into a skill competition while the ‘resbak team’ treat them formally & in a businesslike manner, not with verbal & physical VIOLENCE. They could hurl some judgments, but only after pointing out their good qualities first. Not with stupidity like : ‘puti ka ug itlog’–Princess’s statement. That was really stupid & unnecessary. Scandalosa….ganyan ba ang mga filipina?

While Thinking Out Loud shared how the show has turned from an enjoyable and relaxing experience into an exhausting situation for a viewer like him,

I just hope that whatever it is they get the result they want includng the ratings. Ive seen it, didnt like it. After a long day at work i just want to feel relax and not stress myself anymore.

With all these reasons and valid observations, commenters and readers on that post already raised the red flag for the MTRCB to take a serious look at the show as it already poses a great danger to the viewers especially the young ones. While MTRCB immediately took notice of just the first incident on “Showtime” and gave it a preventive suspension (though I think on that incident it has abused its power), I think, PBB “Resbak Attack” poses an even greater, more serious danger with the way it is presently being run by its spin doctors

While Osang’s remarks came from just one person who is just a guest judge on a live program with the staff of the show having no control of it, the “Resbak Attack” is the brainchild of its writers and staff and is still subject to editing before being televised, making the matter more serious in terms of total disregard on self-regulation. Are the people behind the show getting happy when their contestants are already fighting against each other uttering foul words and showing unbecoming behaviors that young viewers could easily pick up?

The MTRCB should already step in this time around.

I myself after two episodes of that promised twist have stopped watching the show. What can you get with a TV show that espouses violence, trash talk, verbal abuses and unbecoming characters just to get some media mileage and a little upper hand on ratings?

As I shared before, when Laurenti Dyogi was confronted with the issue of gender discrimination (regarding Rica) that is happening inside the house, he said that they will be doing something on that, and though it is negative issue, at least the show is being talked about.

And here is what Kitkat has to say to that,

I used to be a fan of PBB, not anymore. No matter how PBB justifies the ‘mudslinging’ & verbal violence. A spade is still a spade. They have underestimated the intellect of the Filipino viewers.

Do you think that PBB “Resbak Attack” has already gone overboard and already warrants a serious investigation by the MTRCB? Share your thoughts here and comment.

Intellectualizing PBB “Resbak Attack”, the Mudslinging and All…

admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 02:40:30 +0000

This is where the game gets dirty, and for some viewers like me, irritating, as former Housemates have easily changed their hues from rainbow color to sport the dark side when the twist of PBB Double Up “Resbak Attack” was unleashed.

Far from being plausible, pleasing and enjoyable on my palate, it is nonetheless the very goal of the show’s writers (or Big Brother?)…to test the patience and reveal the so-called real characters of the remaining housemates.

This is where the show gets so stupid and former housemates easily made out of themselves fools, stupefying themselves by mudslinging other housemates just for the sake of testing their patience and having another shot in front of the rolling camera?

Duh! Anyone who will not get pissed off or freak out when strangers rampage your home comparable to a deluge that a deadly tsunami could bring is a total stupid. Anyone who will not get offended by the very people they call friends ruin their characters and attack them personally with unfounded allegations of mischief and viciousness is a nuthead. It is like, “Hey I am going to smash the bumper and side mirror of your father’s car and the favorite porcelain vase of your mom, let us see if they will get angry and show their real selves.”

Thus, are there any drought of creative juices already inside the membranes of spin doctors to think of making a twist with already a very predictable outcomes and put the remaining housemates at the mercy of public opinion when they act not according to what is acceptable, or be judged as not showing their real color when they play it cool.

This where the premise of mocking the remaining housemates and pissing them off, just for the sake of seeing their so-called “real selves” be revealed is very problematic if not erroneous. Because the “real self” is not the angry nor the pissed off self that is being induced by the former housemates to the remaining ones, it is only one aspect of the “self” and giving it all the reasons to feel bad and angry is just but normal; for the “real self” is an all-encompassing perspective of the totality of being of a person on all aspects of his life and on all of his emotions and decision-making. Hay…

And why give the chance to former housemates to have a shot at the Php 250,000 price against the remaining housemates on one of the upcoming weekly task when the former have already been voted out from the show as decided by their fellow housemates during nomination and have been given judgment by public opinion. This is recycling what has already been booted out and disregarding public opinion, more so the spirit of justice and fairness for all those who are still remaining inside the house who had worked out their best to stay and been chosen by the voting public to contend for their rightful spots.

With this post, surely the show and the twist for that matter have triumphed on sowing a real interest to the new episode as what Laurenti Dyogi once said on the issue of sexual discrimination, that it is still good since people are talking about it.

Without Melai, I think the new twist has easily morphed into a suspense-thriller mini series similar to Harper’s Island. I like watching the show, but this time I am pissed off. Maybe it is just me; or it is just me intellectualizing on an episode that should have just been followed without using too much comprehension. Just ranting…

Any thoughts? What do you think of the new twist called “Resbak Attack” on the PBB House? What do you think of the evicted housemates pissing off the remaining ones to reveal their real selves?
