Pinoy Big Brother

Posted on at


The Philippine Entertainment makes watching local TV enjoyable. Following certain TV shows and soap operas has been a trend, while reality shows are also coming into picture. For the past few years, the franchise of the Big Brother show had also been airing in the Philippine TV. It is locally called Pinoy Big Brother. Pinoy in the sense that Pinoy means Filipino. And Big Brother is so called "Kuya" which is a Tagalog term for big bro.

As of this writing, the Pinoy Big Brother is still airing in the Philippines. Every season has it's own version on how housemates come in and out of the house, the mechanics changes and it seems interesting that every year, there are more and more Filipinos who want to become famous, to go inside the house and experience how it is to be inside the house of Pinoy Big Brother.

But of course the housemates or the players inside can't just stay in the house, they have to be eliminated every week depending on Big Brother's feeling. These elimination process will also go through series of nomination, each housemate will be giving points to those housemates whom they don't kind of like to be with inside the house or whatever reason it might be. The most number of votes will be nominated and the final decision will be on the hands of the home viewers who will vote to keep their bets inside the house.

These votes are through sms or online votes which are all paid, this is what has been keeping the show alive aside from the major sponsors of course.

Inside Big Brother's house. Interior design's not bad!

The living room's very nice. It has of course mirrors for the cameras to peep in and so they would know what these guys are doing inside the house.
