Sino ang BIG WINNER sa PBB Lucky Season 7?



 Aminin, we both loved and hated this season of Pinoy Big Brother. And after 8 months on air, makakahinga na tayo ng maluwag because this weekend, makikilala na natin ang rightful Big Winner ng PBB Lucky Season 7. After all the stress, rants, inis, tuwa, tawa, ka-relate moments that we post on social media... Finally, Ariel happened to us! 

But before tayo umabot sa finish line, siyempre, tayo bilang viewers at fans ng reality show na ito that has been a part of us for more than 12 years, magde-decide through text vote kung sino ang sa paniniwala nating deserving sa titulong Big Winner. This season though, can really be so unpredictable.  

Of course, lahat tayo may kanya-kanyang bet/s. Kahit ako, bumuboto talaga at vocal sa social media as to who I am rooting for. But that doesn't mean na, I hate the other housemates. Mayroon na kasing ganung baluktot na paniniwala ang ilang netizens these days, unfortunately. Meron at meron lang aangat sa panlasa natin. Pwedeng dahil naka-relate tayo sa kanya, nakita natin ang sarili natin, or he/she touched your life in ways na inexplicable. For those who still hold on to the reality show's core premise, they go for those na sa nakita nilang nagpakatotoo. 

But for the sake of objectivity, and ako bilang someone naman na trying my best to be fair sa aking mga opinyon, here's my rundown of those who made it as part of the Final Lucky 7 housemates na umabot, at tutungtong sa Big Night this weekend, and why I think each of them is worthy of the Big Winner title. I hope somehow this helps in your decision-making as to who you will spend your cellphone load for in voting. 


BB KISSES

I am very open in saying, I am rooting for her. Though naartehan ako at di ko siya naintindihan nung umpisa, she eventually grew in me because I saw an honest young woman in her. Ang refreshing niyang panuorin sa loob ng bahay. She won me over when she admitted her feelings for fellow housemate Marco, who at that time was (or still ba?) feeling something special for another housemate, Vivoree. Her heartbreaking "laging hindi pinipili" ng taong mahal has become one of this season's highlights. Maraming naka-relate, most especially me. And during the trurth or lie task, we saw a true to herself Kisses: nai-insecure, naiinggit, mahina, nagkakamali... Hindi masama. Taong-tao lang siya. She actually embodies the typical teenager of this generation. But the best part of her is that, how she handles everything, especially that unrequited love she is still harboring, but trying her best to hold back, with grace and maturity. 


BB YONG 

Isa pa siya sa mga favorite ko. I voted, and will surely vote for him. Many may say, naaawa ang tao sa kanya dahil mahirap siya. Ano naman kung maraming naaawa sa kanya? Psra sa akin, you won't feel that towards someone if hindi mo siya nakikitaan ng something na would touch your heart.  He surely embodies that typical masa boy, na mula sa mahirap na pamilya, pero maraming pangarap sa buhay we always root for sa mga reality shows. But for me, he's more than that. Maraming mahihirap na pumapasok sa PBB, pero hindi lahat kinakapitan like Yong. At ako, sobrang humanga ako sa kanya when he once said, non-verbatim, "mahina ang utak ko, pero lalaban ako". We love people, especially younglings like him, na lumalaban sa buhay at para sa mga pangarap. They're good role models, kahit may mali minsan. Another notable thing about him inside the house is, hindi siya nagkaroon ng loveteam, so somehow you know that his battle is for himself and his family na ngayon ay umaasa na rin sa kanya. 


BB MAYMAY

She is arguably this season's champion ng masa. Her features, her nuances, her thinking... A reminder of a younger Melai Cantiveros who was a Big Winner years ago. Though hindi na-highlight masyado ang social status niya, most likely dahil sa masayahing disposition niya, what endeared her to me and some of the viewers is her pagiging fan ng mga artista. Bilang isang fan din, hindi mo mafe-fake yun e. Yung reaksyon niya everytime she sees a celebrity... Priceless. Totoong-totoo. But I see na mas napalapit siya sa tao when she was paired with Edward. She's a Cinderella. Don't get me wrong, I mean no offense, but she is this ordinary girl who found a prince charming inside the house. Thus, maraming nagmamahal at nakaka-connect sa kanya at si Edward. And it helped that Maymay, especially during the first months, showed her optimistic, bubbly and cheerful side that made her lovable to fans and PBB viewers. 


BB EDWARD

During the earlier episodes of this PBB season's Teen Edition, I saw and liked a kind, friendly and calm Edward. He has this maturity that makes him a standout and potential leader among his batch. But when he started getting linked to his fellow girl housemates like Maymay, Heaven and Kisses, what I started seeing, and liking more about him, is his gentlemanly ways. Hindi ko naramdaman at all na taking advantage siya of what he could gain from being paired with these girls. Fans ng loveteams ang araw-araw nag-aaway, sa totoo lang. And during tasks, he always tries his best to deliver. And he succeeds. I see a sincere, determined young man in Edward, who will definitely go places in whatever path in life he chooses to take. 


BB TANNER 

He reminds me so much of Superman/Clark Kent. His looks, physique and stance are standout. But what I like most about him during his stay inside the house is his guts. He may look and sound stubborn to some, but for me, he is just this guy who wants to get things done as efficient and effective as possible. And what endeared me to him is his "gentle giant" persona, which we saw during his brother Tyler's short but unforgettable stay. Yes, a guy as gwapo and macho as him can be a good family guy. Ideal boyfriend and husband material si Tanner. Hope he finds the lucky one for him after PBB. Could it be Yassi Pressman? 


BB CORA

I admit, inis ako sa kanya at some times. She sounds so bossy kasi at times. Maybe ganun talaga siya magsalita. I could be misinterpreting her. But she earned my respect last weekend when, after it was announced na siya ang pinili ng sambayanan through text votes to be part of the Final Lucky 7 housemates over Elisse, we saw how sort of hindi masaya ang housemates sa resulta, only a few approached her to congratulate her. Not taking it against them though. But she handled that moment with so much grace and brevity, kahit hindi madali. It was like she was saying, "like it or not, I made it guys!" And I like her pagiging straighforward at prangka. Pak na pak ka girl!  


BB HASHTAGS

How I wish, given naman na maraming mechanics at rules na nabago na sa kabuuan ng PBB, na ginawa na silang individual housemates, rather than as one. Magkaiba man sa maraming bagay, but both McCoy and Nikko are housemates to root for. Though mas na-define si McCoy ng season na ito ng kanilang moments ni Elisse sa loob ng bahay, we still saw a persevering and determined McCoy especially during tasks. And personally, I didn't take it against him if hindi niya tinake ang "lie detector challenge". He's an artista na kasi. And naiintindihan ko ang kagustuhan ng mga tulad niya to protect, not his sole privacy, but his family's and those around him. I just hope the viewers and non-fans of him and McLisse understand it the way I do. While si Nikko, nakakatuwa kasi siya talaga ang unang nagpakatotoo sa loob when he admitted na may anak na siya. At sa totoo lang, hindi nabawasan ang paghanga ng mga supporters sa kanya... Mas dumami pa nga. And all the more we rooted for him dahil alam nating ginagawa niya ito para sa kanyang anak. When most are kilig sa McLisse moments sa HongKong, ako naman ay natutuwa when Nikko had the chance to bond with his baby sa Disneyland. 


Vote wisely mga Kapamilya! And abangan ang PBB Lucky Season 7 Grand Finale this weekend (Saturday and Sunday), live from Alonte Stadium in Laguna, at sabay sabay nating kilalanin at salubungin ang bagong Big Winner ni Kuya!
