The exciting new batch of PBB Unlimited housemates introduced last saturday

THE NEW housemates of “Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited” were introduced on Saturday night in a big fiesta atmosphere that featured Philippine festivals like Masskara, Panagbenga, Kadayawan and Gigante. There are 14 of them: six girls and eight boys. Let’s start with the girls: Jaz Manabat – 24 years old, tagged as the Sensual Siren of QC. A model, she’s really sexy and has a boyfriend of five years but says their relationship now is quite shaky.

Tin Patrimonio – 20, The Captain’s Daughter of QC. A tennis player who was reared on home schooling and has 16 dogs, she’s the daughter of cager Alvin Patrimonio.

Luz McClinton – 33, Mom of Steel of Muntinlupa. A bodybuilding champ who grew up selling cigarettes and worked as a waitress in Kuwait, she’s married to an American who now works in Oman.

Pamu Pamorada – 19, Kitikiti Kid ng Batangas. She’s the Melai Cantiveros in this batch. She’s kikay and impersonates celebs, like Vice Ganda.

Kim de Guzman – 19, Stunning Sweetheart of Olongapo. She’s a masscom student whose dad left their family when she was still a baby. She has joined beauty pageants and bikini contests.

Divine Maitland-Smith – 20, Darling Dude ng Cebu. A tattoo artist, she’s a very pretty blonde and an admitted lesbian. She speaks only English and Visayan.

Here are the guys: Roy Gamboa – 29 years old, Sales Lakay ng Pangasinan. A self made man who’s poor but graduated with honors and now successful in sales.

Digoy Abarico – 32, Bay Diskarte ng Ormoc. An abused adopted child, he grew up in the streets and is described as astig, matapang, maangas. He’s short but talks like Robin Padilla.

Slater Young – 24, Hotshot Engineer ng Cebu. He comes from a rich family, a member of a gun club and a civil engineer whose dad owns a construction firm.

Kevin Fowler – 18, Dreamboy ng California. Has American dad who raised him in Japan, Italy and the USA. Speaks very little Tagalog with a twang.

Paco Evangelista – 26, Hopeless Romantic from Gensan. An art school graduate with his own business, his world collapsed when his dad died in 2009, his business flopped and his girlfriend left him.

Joseph Biggel – 19, Pambihirang Tisoy ng Marinduque. He has a German dad and a Pinay mom who both abandoned him and he grew up with his grandparents. A fisherman and farmer, he reminds us of Ejay Falcon of Mindoro, whose biological dad is French.

Seichang Ushimi – 22, Pinoy Anime ng Japan. He has a Pinay mom and Japanese dad. He grew up in Japan and doesn’t speak Tagalog. The footage showing his reaction when Direk Lauren Dyogi told him that he’ll be taken in as a housemate was shown. He was overwhelmed and became so emotionally overjoyed he kept on bowing, even on the floor, saying thank you repeatedly.

Carlo Romero – 25, he’s a sales consultant from Chicago and auditioned in L.A. He’s supposed to leave back for the U.S. in two days. He now has to postpone this. But he’s not really a housemate. Host Toni Gonzaga says he’s a mole or spy inside Kuya’s house. After the 13 candidates were introduced, they called in 30 Reserved Housemates. A raffle was held and the lucky one chosen to be a mole is Carlo. He’s required to do four impossible tasks during this week. If he’d succeed in doing all of them, then he’d stay as a certified housemate. If he’d fail, then he’d have to leave Kuya’s house at the end of the week.

Kuya’s house is designed to be like dirty shanties in the slums as the housemates are meant to live in poverty 15 million poor Filipinos do. Three housemates went inside the confession room and Kuya asked them to choose what they’d want to have: unlimited food, water or clothes. He says these are the things we people need the most. They can choose only one and the other two will be given to them in a very limited supply. For example, if they choose water, then they will be given very few food items that they would have to ration among themselves for the entire week. Kuya also announced that if the housemates wouldn’t be able to accomplish all his challenges to them during the week, then one half of them will be eliminated and will be replaced by the Reserved Housemates.

This is a good batch as there are many good looking housemates. The sexiest among the girls are Jaz, Luz and Kim. The tall guys who are potential heartthrobs are Joseph, Carlo, Kevin, Slater and Seichang.

Toni Gonzaga and Bianca Gonzales host the night “PBB Unlimited” after “Nasaan Ka, Elisa” while the PBB Updates hosted by Robi Domingo will be aired after “Maria La Del Barrio” and “100 Days to Heaven”. Tomorrow, Kuya will announce their Christmas presentation that will give viewers “Unlimited Day and Night Experience”.
