I could not have come up with a better title. lol. Needless to say, this "reality" TV show of ABS CBN has become a part of my early adulthood. There's really nothing more to it. It's about a bunch of individuals who is out there trying to prove themselves. Personally, it would be really hard to prove your very self when you're stuck inside an air conditioned, well-lit, well-guarded house and your life is televised 24/7. If you want to discover the real you, then don't audition to PBB. It's too predictable - you would either end up becoming the next fad of TVCs, magazine spreads or the next KIM CHIU of Philippine TV. Or better yet, just a plain ex housemate which, in all fairness, is probably the best title anyone should gain after entering that show.
So last night was the big event. 5 teens all in all have represented this generation's young as they settled in their respective places :
4th place: Jai and Joj (the twins)
3rd place: Roy
2nd place: Karen
1st place: Myrtle
I couldn't be happier. Not because I am a huge fan of Myrtle, but the very fact that probably, the media and even the Pinoys have deviated from the usual : not voting goody goody two-shoes underdogs (the twins) and typical Cinderella male version (Roy). It would have been a disaster if either of the two won the grand title. I mean, come on! How could you stand being around people who are eternally screaming their lungs out every now and then at the shallowest of shallow stuff their is, and please.. TV shows were not made to equate poverty with pity. How demeaning could that be? If you win a contest, it should derive from the fact that you are marketable, effective and bankable when being the "latest PBB winner" soon loses its luster. It's about longevity my friend - or the capability of achieving that.
So was it a happy ending? To the winners, YES! Imagine the cash and the gadgets they've got. I couldn't really say it was a good season. But I'm glad, people are smarter these days :)
