Pinoy Big Brother: Season 2 is the second official season of Pinoy Big Brother and aired on ABS-CBN's primetime block. As with the show's previous full & special seasons, it also airs a companion program on Studio 23. It began with a live party on February 25, 2007. It is scheduled to run for 126 days (18 weeks).
Toni Gonzaga and Mariel Rodriguez are reprising their roles as Primetime/Live show host and UpLate host respectively, while Celebrity Edition housemate Bianca Gonzalez again hosts the Update reports, a role she did in the Teen Edition. First season housemate Jason Gainza joins the hosts as the Man-of-the-Street reporter.
Meanwhile, Asia Agcaoili again takes hosting chores for the show's companion program on Studio 23, along with the puppet Pining. They share hosting chores with new host Sitti Navarro.
Also for the show's new season, the theme song Pinoy Ako has been rehashed, this time performed by the band Cebalo (composed of Yvan Lambatan, Panky Trinidad, Eman Abatayo, and Davey Langit of Pinoy Dream Academy).
Aside from Gonzalez's Updates aired throughout the day, the morning show Magandang Umaga, Pilipinas also reports updates from inside the House.

[edit] House concept
The concept of the house developed into a pop-art scheme, with a predominantly lime green living area with pastel colors. It is also equipped with 42 cameras and 42 overhead microphones.
The bedrooms for the men are now linear while those for the women is circular. Rocking chairs and other furniture have also been added, as well as gym equipment, a large bathroom with showers and a jacuzzi, separate restrooms for the men and women, a separate prayer room, and a bridge over the swimming pool. The now-tangarine confession room is now expanded with the door leading to it resembling the door leading to the diary room in the British Big Brother house. Furthermore, the front doors to the house are now located at the garden, leading to the eviction hall next door (the auditorium previously used in Pinoy Dream Academy).
There is also two secret areas in the house. One is separated from the garden by a gate. That room is filled with sand, bamboo furniture, and an area for bathing and urination. There is another secret room where the secret housemates stay for the rest of the day. It has equally colorful walls and furniture, tables, chairs, and a monitor which serves the same purpose as the one in the main House area. This colorful second secret room's location is unknown because it is only accessed through the House's restricted areas (those used by the crew).
The interiors of the various rooms is designed by students from the Philippine School of Interior Design. The revamped larger layout of the House is attributed to the fact that the original house area was previously used as the Academy living quarters in Pinoy Dream Academy and is again renovated for the second season.
[edit] Housemates
On Day 1, only six housemates entered the house. The next six housemates entered the house on Days 7 to 12. The final four housemates entered the house on Day 14. The number of housemates thus reached 16, although only 14 were promised in the pre-season teasers. All are ordered here by entrance.
It should be noted that while the first season has a woman over the age of 30 and three married persons among its roster of housemates, all of the housemates in this season are in their twenties and are all single.

[edit] Third batch
The following housemates entered and stayed in two secret areas of the house. Only two of them would become official housemates and enter the main House area. They were also tasked to gather some of their basic necessities from the main House area without being caught. Being caught would mean automatic eviction. For four days, only Ezekiel and Dionne knew about their presence and could not divulge this to the others except Big Brother. Eventually, these housemates were revealed to the others on Day 18. For the sake of explanation and because they entered the house without the knowledge of Ezekiel and Dionne's fellow housemates, they are referred to in this article as the "secret housemates."
However, as only two of the four could become the 13th and 14th official housemates, their fate inside the house was determined by public voting.

[edit] Chronology of important events
[edit] Week 1
The season started with a military theme as a subtle reminder that the second season's premiere fell (ironically) on the anniversary of the 1986 EDSA Revolution. The housemates were taken to the House in a truck used by the Philippine Marines. The initial six housemates went inside the house barefoot and in their sleeping wear. They were also cuffed in very unusual ways before being taken in.
On Day 6, Mickey's secret task ended and Mickey is told that he could finally talk to them in Filipino. Since Big Brother told Mickey that he can reveal his secret task to everyone in his own way, Mickey revealed his fluency in Tagalog initially to Wendy, then to Nel, and eventually to the others.
On Day 7, Robert entered the House, dressed up as a delivery boy, bringing with him burger meals and ice cream for the other six as a reward for an earlier daily task.
[edit] Week 2
On Day 8, Beatriz entered the house with a task of kissing her fellow housemates twice on the cheek. The other female housemates (Saicy, Wendy, and Gee-Ann) were in turn tasked by Big Brother to arrange the hair of a "friend" and apply make-up on her. He was talking about Beatriz and the three did not know that she was the newest housemate.
On Day 9, Kian entered the house as a genie to represent his Middle Eastern heritage. He was placed inside a giant lamp and he could only come out when someone touched the lamp thrice. That person was Mickey. Mickey in turn would give Kian three wishes that Kian must fulfill before sunrise (according to Big Brother), otherwise Kian would return inside the lamp. Kian granted only one wish and worse, Nel (who was secretly tasked by Big Brother) egged him to do everything in the morning. Kian hid again inside the lamp, but out of sympathy, Nel and the female housemates joined him inside for 30 seconds before finally freeing him.
On Day 10, Jasmin entered the house through the confession room and was tasked to go to any room where she must sleep without being caught. She did so at the point when the other housemates were having a discussion at the living area. Unfortunately, Mickey saw her hiding in the bathroom. As a result, she cooked adobo for everyone the next night.
On Day 11, Bruce entered the house to act as a referee for a special netball-like game the housemates were about to play.
On Day 12, Dionne entered the house with a special task of teaching Tahitian dance to the others.
On Day 13, Ezekiel, Bruce, Mickey, and Robert were cleared to have their blood donated. The first three donated their blood without a hitch, but Robert's blood was not taken because of his fear of needles, which he himself cannot explain how it started. To put out his frustration, he shaved off his face hair, almost to the point of unrecognizability by everyone else in the House, including Big Brother.
On Day 14, the four secret housemates were placed in a secret area of the House which is right beside the garden. Ezekiel, being the first to enter, and Dionne, the last official one to make an entrance, were made aware of the four by Big Brother and were tasked by him to take care of the four and make sure the four have their basic necessities without everyone else knowing about the presence of the four. If the two were successful in this secret task by Day 18, they would be immune on the first nomination night; otherwise, they would become automatic nominees.
[edit] Week 3
On Day 15, Big Brother reprimanded Gee-Ann, Nel, Kian, Jasmin, Robert, and Bruce for various violations of house rules such as talking without a lapel microphone, mouthing of words, asking and talking about current events in the outside world, and others, as well as Gee-Ann's breach for the weight rule. Their punishment was served on Day 20 (see below).
On Day 18, Ezekiel and Dionne finally revealed ther four secret housemates to the other official housemates through a task in which the secret housemates wore the clothes of the official housemates. This task and Dionne and Ezekiel's secret mission were imperiled earlier by Mickey when he glimpsed Jeremy and Mikah in the middle of the night and tried to ask Dionne and Ezekiel about what he saw later in the day. But since Ezekiel and Dionne managed to pull their task off, they were proclaimed immune on the first official nomination round.
On Day 19, Gee-Ann expressed her intention to leave the House in exchange for saving a third secret housemate from eviction. The next day, Gee-Ann made her mind up to have Maricris take her place. But Big Brother reminded her that the ground for a voluntary exit is surrender. But since she decided to fight on and a third secret housemate cannot be saved from eviction anyway, her impending voluntary exit had officially been scrapped.
On Day 20, Big Brother meted the punishment for Gee-Ann, Nel, Kian, Jasmin, Robert, and Bruce for their violations of house rules. They were made to pick cards to determine their fate. Nel, Jasmin, and Bruce picked smiley faces and were saved from what would happen next to Robert, Kian, and Gee-Ann, who all picked bullets. Robert, Kian, and Gee-Ann then picked cards from a second deck. Kian got unlucky when he picked the gun, which signified his automatic nomination. On the other hand, Robert and Gee-Ann picked a rain cloud and lightning and a balloon about to be popped respectively.
[edit] Week 4
On Day 25, Bruce was informed by Big Brother that his mother was taken to the hospital due to her chronic asthma and Bruce must make a sacrifice for her benefit. The sacrifice was to shoot baskets and accumulate 80,000 points, the amount of money (in Philippine pesos) to pay for his mother's hospital bills. His sacrifice started the next day. His fellow housemates also helped, but he should not inform them of the purpose. Although he and his fellow housemates only scored about 9,000 points five days later, the goal had been reached because concerned viewers, passers-by, and several of ABS-CBN's talents also participated in the task by shooting baskets in a makeshift court outside the House.
On Day 28, the housemates formed into teams composed of each gender and then participated in games which tested their intelligence, smarts, and guts.
- The first game saw one of two members of each team dip themselves in drums of water while other members correctly answered questions until the second member inside a drum rose up from the water. The men won this game 11-3.
- The second game had the housemates gather eels for their team from a pool of water. The men again won this game, 16 eels to 11. This advanced the men into the final game.
- In the final game, the men, all smothered with baby oil, wrestled with each other on a platform until one remained. Kian won that challenge.
- In the consolation game, the women hung themselves on pairs of suspended rings and held on as long as they could before dropping into the pool below. Gee-Ann and Wendy won in that game.
Gee-Ann and Wendy, being the consolation game winners, each had P1,000 to spend on their own needs. Kian, being the winner of the final game, became automatically immune in the second nomination round. His immunity would only take effect if he would survive eviction the next night, which he did.
Also on Day 28, Dionne and Ezekiel's relationship became a topic of concern for Big Brother, particularly on Dionne's act of biting on Ezekiel's arm. The other housemates were informed of this and were made to decide whether or not her act was an act of violence. Of course, Big Brother also talked to Ezekiel and Dionne about their side of the story. The house rules state that any form of violence is not allowed in the house and the housemate who makes such behavior is immediately removed from the House. The other housemates did not see Dionne's biting as a form of violence, although they did deem it as improper. Meanwhile, her application of sunblock on Ezekiel's genitalia caught the eye of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), the censorship body in the Philippines, to which the program promptly apologized.
[edit] Week 5
On Day 31, Ezekiel was tasked to dress and act like a woman. This was to let him experience what the female housemates saw was his ill treatment against them. Furthermore, the male housemates, through Robert, were tasked to treat "Imelda" (as Ezekiel's new persona was being called) the same way Ezekiel treated the women.
On Day 33, Kian's wounds on his legs and feet, which he obtained during the special games five days before got worse because he did not follow the doctor's orders of not dancing and walking too much. After further redressing of his wounds, he was put on a wheelchair and tasked to help Bruce make 1,000 decorative palm branches in preparation for Palm Sunday (which is Day 36). Kian's worsening of injuries came in the midst of a fake epidemic wherein Robert was tasked to pretend he was ailing from a "disease" he contracted from the House pet Buddy and Gee-Ann, Mickey, and Wendy was told to pretend that they caught Robert's "disease".
[edit] Week 6
On Day 36, the four housemates who were involved in the fake epidemic instigated by Big Brother played a special snakes and ladders game. The giant board monkey bars to represent the ladders and slides for the snakes. At the foot of the slides were pits containing things that most housemates would cringe at their sight, such as rats, muddy water, water containing words, blood, and the like. The winner of the game would become immune from nomination. Mickey won the challenge with the help of his assigned partner, Kian, who rolled the dice for him during the course of the game.
[edit] Weekly tasks
[edit] Week 1
The housemates were tasked to build a sand castle which replicates a model nearby. It has to be finished by Friday. Furthermore, they must do the task in beach wear and must start and finish the task for each day when Pinoy Ako is played. The housemates bet 50% of their weekly allowance on this task.
The housemates were successful in their task, although only 25% was added because the sand castle they made was not the same as the model. PHP1,199 was also deducted from the budget to pay for the vase Gee-Ann accidentally broke during the week. An additional PHP750 was added the next day after the housemates successfully brought down the rest of their luggage without getting any of those bags wet in the pool.
[edit] Week 2
Since a few of the housemates could cook, Big Brother tasked the housemates to cook several dishes ordered by Big Brother. The dishes then were be judged by their taste, efficiency, and presentaion. The housemates bet 60% of their weekly allowance on this task.
The housemates failed their weekly task because while they cooked their dishes in the alloted time and were satisfactory in their presentation of dishes, the taste of the dishes got mostly negative reviews. Furthermore, Big Brother deducted some points because several housemates forgot to wear either their aprons or toques while accomplishing the task.[2] The persons who sampled the dishes were ordinary people on the street.
[edit] Week 3
According to the official website and UpLate reports, the official housemates (to set them apart from the secret housemates) were tasked to make pottery out of the clay provided to them. Each day, each housemate had to finish a specific kind of pottery stated by Big Brother and present it to him when it is done. Despite having little or no experience in making pottery, they confidently bet 75% of their weekly allowance on this task.[3]
The housemates however failed the task because 75% of the pottery they made were in poor condition and the housemates had not even had their works glazed.[4]
Viewers of the primetime telecast never knew about this weekly task until the day of the first nomination night because the program was focused on the secret housemates and how there are tended by Ezekiel and Dionne.
[edit] Week 4
The housemates were tasked to cross a string maze in the secret garden without touching any of the strings or sounding the bells that are attached to the strings.[5] They had the whole week to work out strategies on crossing the maze and practice making their moves. They then made their actual attempt on Day 27, witnessed live by viewers. They bet 50% of their weekly allowance on this task.
The housemates once again failed the task because several housemates sounded the bells eight times during their actual attempt, the number of times required for the task to become a failure.
[edit] Week 5
The housemates were tasked to run a water mill using water from the swimming pool. They would manually transfer the water to the water mill using pails. The water mill should be kept running day and night because if it stops for more than 30 seconds, the task will become a failure. Therefore, at least one housemate should work on the task. Housemates also should take care of their lapel microphones and keep them from getting wet while performing the task. They bet 60% of their weekly allowance on this task.[6]
The housemates finally succeeded in this task. Although this was not actually their first success, as the program always asserted (see above), this was the first win wherein the entire amount they bet was added to their weekly budget.
[edit] The Big Red Phone
On Day 23 (March 19, 2007), a large red telephone was placed inside the House. It was announced the day before that the phone would ring in different instances, and each call would inform the housemate who would answer the call of a different reward or punishment. The housemate who would answer each call would receive any of the following news:
- 1st Call: Staying in the sun for a day and no baths for two days (received by Ezekiel)
- 2nd Call: Haircut, facial massage, and "full body foot massage" (received by Mickey)
- 3rd Call: The granting of any one wish, regardless of the result of any task (received by Bodie, who ordered pizza)
- 4th Call: A 60-second shopping spree in the Storage Room (received by Dionne)
- 5th Call: Being the "pet of the day" (received by Nel)
- 6th Call: The power to change the second set of nominees (received by Wendy)
- 7th Call: Automatic nomination (received by Beatriz)
- 8th Call: A secret date with another housemate (received by Bruce, who chose Wendy to be his date)
- 9th Call: Playing Sadako of the Japanese movie Ring and living in a well for a day
- 10th Call: Walking around blindfolded for a day without any help from the others
- 11th Call: A chance to conquer one's fear
- 12th Call: Shaving one's eyebrows
- 13th Call: A kiss of Judas—i.e. the recipient kisses a housemate, who in turn gains an automatic nomination

Note 1: Since only two were needed to complete the official housemate roster, naturally, all four secret housemates were put up for eviction.
Note 2: Among the six housemates who were reprimanded by Big Brother because of various violations to house rules, Kian lost the determining game and was therefore automatically nominated. The two additional housemates, Bodie and Maricris, were exempt from the nominations process, while Ezekiel and Dionne were immune from eviction.
Note 3: Kian became immune from nomination due to his win in the special games on Day 28 and his escape from eviction the following night. Beatriz answered the seventh call from the big red telephone, signalling her automatic nomination. Wendy originally used her power of changing the official list of nominees by replacing her name with that of Maricris. But after much reconsideration and a burst of emotion, she asked Big Brother to reverse her decision. Later that night, Big Brother reinstated the original official list of nominees.
Note 4: Mickey became immune from nomination after winning the weekly immunity challenge, a simulated life-size snakes and ladders board game inside the house. The win can be attributed to Kian, who was responsible for rolling the dice for him throughout the game.
- Granted Immunity (due to successful execution of "Secret Task", challenge winner, etc.)
- Automatic Nomination (due to violation(s) committed, "Big Red Telephone" Challenge, etc.)
[edit] Controversies
- In a March 22 memorandum, the movie-TV board took the network to task for airing the "naughty actuations" of a female housemate later identified as Dionne Monsanto of Cebu by MTRCB chair Ma. Consoliza P. Laguardia. According to Laguardia, Dionne "inserted her hands in the underwear" of a male housemate, later identified as Ezekiel "Zeke" Dimaguila of Australia, in the March 20 episode. In the same memo, the network's representatives were invited to a meeting on March 27 at the board's office in Quezon City. As a result of the hearing, Laurenti M. Dyogi, PBB director and ABS-CBN business unit head, wrote a letter to Laguardia. In the letter dated March 27, Dyogi stated that the network would "issue an apology (today) to viewers who may have been offended by [Dionne's] behavior." As promised, show host Toni Gonzaga said sorry on PBB's March 27 episode. "I appreciate that the network readily apologized," Laguardia told Inquirer Entertainment in a phone interview on Wednesday. "In my opinion, that scene [involving Dionne and Zeke] was really vulgar and indecent." Laguardia also expressed satisfaction that the "camera is no longer focusing on Dionne." In his March 27 letter, Dyogi assured Laguardia that PBB would "avoid giving exposure" to Dionne. Dyogi also promised that the show would "check the behavior of [Dionne], through a reprimand and a directive from Big Brother." Dionne was also "prohibited from having any interaction" with Zeke from March 28 to March 31. Dyogi's letter said, "Big Brother would also remind all housemates to conduct themselves properly while they are in the house."[7]
