Pinoy Big Brother

The newest reality show on TV was recently launched. It is the Filipino version of the worldwide hit reality show Big Brother. And ours is aptly called Pinoy Big Brother.

For 100 days, 12 stranger shall live in one house. No means of communicating with the outside world. And everything that they do can be seen and heard by cameras and microphones set up all over the house. Throw away privacy. They are all like fish in an aquarium. Every movement is monitored.

I've watched the first episode tonight. It was the first night of the 12 housemates. As expected, everyone's trying to be nice with everybody. But you know that deep inside each one of them, they are observing. Silently assessing the personality of each contestant. After all, this is still a game. And in the end, the winner takes home 1 million pesos, a car, plus house and lot. This means dog-eat-dog in a world confined to the four corners of that aquarium-like house.

In a few days, I expect more excitement than watching those sexy lady contestants dress and undress using robes and towels as their covers. More drama than them discussing condoms and other birth control methods. The excitement would come in the form of personality clashes. Being stuck in one house with total strangers as your housemates can take its toll on any human. And it is just a matter of time when Mister Nice Guy turns into Mister Kupal and Miss Congeniality turns into Miss Bitch.

So, if I were a contestant there, what would I do if I were stuck in a house with 11 strangers for 100 days? No TV. No radio. No Internet. No newspaper.

Perfect blogging environment. Lots of interesting subjects and intriguing materials around me. Save everything I write and post them when I get out of that house.
