I've been watching Pinoy Big Brother since the first time it aired a few years back. I've never been a fan even when Sam Milby entered the famous house of Kuya. I never really watched it religiously. Most of the time, I read online from forums to forums regarding the issues inside the PBB house.
Lately, I've been watching and reading a lot of PBB Season 2. I don't think this is the BEST season of PBB but I must say this is probably one of the most controversial.
Wendy Valdez and Gee-Ann Abrahan, probably 2 of the most misunderstood housemates in all of the seasons of PBB. Why? Lemme point it out one by one...
Let me start with Wendy Valdez. I really don't like this girl. There's something fishy about her personality. I would never waste my hard earned money voting this girl but I don't hate her. I've been browsing different forums everyday and I've read a lot of rumors about her. Forumers are very vocal of their hatred towards this girl. She has been branded as "pokpok", "malandi", plastic, insincere, "wendydemonyita", "wendita" etc.. I could have listed a lot of the name calling thing pero I opted not to para hindi mafocus masyado sa kanya ang blog. Again, I don't hate her. She's one of the most misunderstood housemate this season.
Wendy Valdez was a former Bb. Pilipinas Tourism. She was also an aspiring singer who joined PDA but wasn't able to make it as a finalist. She also models for a certain agency with Bruce Quebral. I've read in another site that she even models for a certain clothing brand and has been in a lot of TV Commercials (although I must admit na I've never seen her face before in any commercial brands or maybe I'm not paying a lot of attention din). According to her, she's the breadwinner of her large family. She's a working student and she lives in the slums of Navotas. Their father left them and since then she became the "padre de familia". She works her butt off so she can finish school and at the same time help her family in their daily financial needs.
Her reasons are enough for the Filipinos to feel sorry for her. Her life story could be the reason for her to win PBB Season 2. Unfortunately, Wendy Valdez is not your ordinary girl. She's not your typical "mahirap na simpleng babae na gustong umahon ang pamilya sa kahirapan". She's a fighter. She's stubborn, hard headed and a bit mean. She likes getting her way and because of that, it made me think a lot of her life story. Her lifestory does not fit her personality at all. She's acting like a spoiled brat all the time. For someone who said na she's "hirap sa buhay" and she wants to help her family financially....then howcome she's acting like she's a primadonna from hell. It really made me think.
Then it came to me....Wendy Valdez is strategizing. She wants to win therefore she will do everything to be noticed. I also believed na she planned everything or at least she's aware of her actions inside PBB. I remember her first interview before she entered the PBB house. She said she wants to be an actress and she wants people to love her once she's inside the PBB house. Her plan failed when people started hating her. She found out about it when she got eliminated. So when she was given an opportunity to come back she started strategizing. My guess is since she's not really that likeable, she decided to play the "magpakatotoo Keanna Reeves" line. She thinks that if she acts like how Keanna Reeves acted in PBB Celebrity Edition people would think she deserves to win. She believes na acting "magpakatotoo" inside the house could be her main fuel in winning the prizes of PBB Season 2. I have to admit na she is really desperate to win. The only problem is that she's not Keanna Reeves. Keanna was loved by a lot of viewers because of her easy going attitude. Wendy is not an easy going housemate. She's not Keanna Reeves.
I know she's not a bad person but she's not a saint either. I can tell na she's a bit mischievous. I believe na she wants what is best for her family and I know that inspite of all the dramas inside the PBB house lately....she's just playing the game. She's strategizing her way to Big 4. It just so happen na there are some things that she couldn't control. Her plan somehow backfired that is why she is acting a bit freaky for the past few episodes. She's desperate to win and she can't think straight. SHE WANTS TO WIN BADLY FOR HER SAKE AND FOR HER FAMILY. A good cause but a bad way of showing it to the people. BUT THE AGAIN...who knows maybe she planned the whole thing din since she also wants to become an actress. Who knows for sure....but I do believe that she is one of the most misunderstood housemate this season.
NEXT...Gee-Ann Abrahan.
Okay, I'm a fan but If I have to choose who will win this seaon, I will picked Mickey Perz. Gee-Ann is also a misunderstood housemate this season. She's so passive. Her personality is so weak. She's a pessimist and a martyr. She's a crybaby. Lahat ng characteristic of someone na so fragile and weak na sa kanya which makes her adorable and at the same time a bit irritable. I love Gee-Ann because she's sweet, intelligent, very pretty, classy and well mannered. She came from a good family background and she's rich but by just watching her for about 4 months inside PBB you can tell that she's a down to earth person. She's very easy going. I like her attitude but sometimes she ticks me off. I hate it when she's acting passive. I want her to voice out her opinions not to BIG BROTHER but to everyone inside the house esp. to Wendy. She's always scared and that's her main problem. Sabi nga ni Kuya...in reality there's no confession room, there's no big brother and there will be a lot of Wendy Valdez in real life. She will have to face all of those again and she needs to learn how to fight back. Fight back in an educated way. There are a lot of ways for you to do so others would stop bullying you.
Gee-Ann needs to fight back. She needs to learn how to handle those WENDY types. She needs to be more vocal about her opinions and her feelings. The main reason why she's always crying is that she has no confidence at all and to think she's a cheerleader. I mean cheerleaders are born leaders, loud and very opinionated. In all movies, usually cheerleaders are projected as mean. Gee-Ann is a cheerleader but way different from the norms. Her being passive sometimes makes me want to turn off the TV. She could have prevented a lot of pains and troubles if she only stood up for herself instead of crying lang. I know it's not easy and there are people talaga na tulad nya but she's what??? 21...she has to learn grow up. Part of growing up is learning to stand tall, to fight back and to be tough. She can't always cry and use another PAMELA as her outlet.
She could have been a contender for the PBB Winner this season. People loves her. The problem is yung love sometimes nagiging awa instead of admiration. It's important na in order to win dapat the WINNER must be a whole package of good personality and charisma. We love Gee-Ann because she's an underdog and that is a fact. I admire her for being calm and well mannered but like what I said there are some qualities of her that I really hate. I must admit na I like for her to win only because she's nakakaawa and of how Wendy and her posey treated her badly. Instead of admiring her characteristics sometimes mas tumatatak sa isip ko na underdog sya that's why I like her.
Parang movie lang yan. I want my lead actress to be a fighter and a good person at the same time. I don't want to see my lead actress being maltreated by others. Ayokong awa lang it won't make me feel good. Maybe that is the reason why I want Mickey Perz or Beatriz Saw to win. They both have good personalities, not the WENDY TYPE nor the GEE-ANN TYPE. I admire them for being a good example of our YOUTH today.
Wendy and Gee-Ann are 2 of the most misunderstood housemates. They are totally opposite. They have different reasons on why they joined the show and why they want to win. They both showed their true colors. Wendy tried her best to be likeable to the people. Gee-Ann tried her best to be likeable to all her housemates. Gee-Ann's lifestyle is Wendy's dream that's why from the very first day she is insecure of Gee-Ann. Wendy's toughness is the source of Gee-Ann's admiration towards this girl. She idolizes her for being so tough at such a young age. She wants to be just like her. Gee-Ann's admiration towards WENDY was the reason why Wendy hate her and why people hate WENDY. Wendy's insecurities about Gee-Ann's lifestyle was the reason why Gee-Ann is always crying every episode (an underdog) and why we love GEE-ANN.
I guess....they have this LOVE AND HATE Relationship inside PBB house. They both want to prove something to everybody. It just so happen that they both failed. I am a Gee-Ann Fanatic but I still want her to change her ways. I want her to grow up. I don't hate Wendy because I know underneath that bitchy persona is a good person with a big heart. I'm just hoping that she'll have an attitude overhaul so her rep will have a fresh start again. They both might not win this season but I'm pretty sure that if they decided to join the BIZZ world then may kakalagyan sila.
To this two...you both made the PBB Season 2 controversial. If not for the 2 of you...the show would have been a bore to people like me. In a way CONGRATULATIONS because the 2 of you made your mark in PINOY REALITY TV. I doubt it if people will forget the 2 of you.
