Gaby's Back!

"I got kidnapped!" Gaby first told the two housemates as they got in the house. Gaby returned from her seminar in the US just this afternoon and the PBB staff surprised Gaby right at the airport and offered her a chance to return to the Big Brother house and continue being a celebrity housemate. Being used to stepping up to any challenge, the renowned car racer agreed to come back. From there, she was immediately driven straight to the PBB house.

Gaby is indeed overwhelmed with joy and she instantly began catching up with Baron and Yayo. Baron told Gaby that all the housemates were currently out, and from there, the Racing Goddess was updated about everything that has happened in Kuya's house while she was gone, from Ethel and Mcoy's exit to Angel Locsin's arrival.

Speaking of Angel, she and the other housemates just arrived home after a long day of hard work "somewhere".

Gabby ready to face the Car racing world

Fresh from her exit from the Kuya's house, Gaby Dela Merced was the most talked about ex-housemate during the press conference. The Racing Goddess made a heartbreaking voluntary exit so she could attend the Driver Development Seminar for International Racing in Arizona, USA this coming November 16th to 18th. Gaby revealed that the seminar came up unexpectedly, but since she knew that such an opportunity is very rare, being a product of competitions and applications, she could not let it pass. She confessed to the reporters her deep passion for racing and even shared a crash-course lesson on the sport. Gaby said that being a race car driver is not actually as glamorous and profitable as it appears, having to find contacts and supporters to help her fund her dreams. But having been exposed to risks and hardships on the race track, Gaby managed to survive all of Big Brother's task, may it be on her own or with the group. This is why Gaby considered her month-long stay in the famous yellow house as a "life-changing" experience.

The Final Sacrifice of Gaby in Big Brother House

Gaby who was tasked to do a final sacrifice before she finally leave the big yellow house for good. Water is scarce in their abode and a luxurious supply of which will only be provided after she succeeds in filling a large drum with water from the pool! Determined to do this one last thing for the group, she tried various strategies just to accomplish Big Brother's challenge.

Meanwhile, the master of the house confided to Mariel, Riza, Donni, Will and Ruben regarding the impending departure of the Racing Godess from his abode. He pointed that she wanted out to pursue a great opportunity abroad to improve her racing skills. Upon hearing this however, Mariel started to cry, explaining that she really wanted Gaby to stay. But since that is not possible, she simply agreed to Kuya's plan to give her a special farewell party if they finish a 24-hour task playing as checkered skaters.

Gaby is still doing her best to fill up the drum while Mariel, Will, Donni, Riza and Ruben had succeeded their task. In exchange for their hard work, pizza, wine and a chocolate cake were provided to them during dinner time! Oh well, all the sorrow from yesterdays seemed to be far away from their minds at the moment. Their focus of course is centered on the completion of their numbers for the concert.

Pleasant surprise for the Racing Godess by Mariel, Donni, Ruben, Riza and Will

Big Brother decided to connive with Mariel, Donni, Ruben, Riza and Will. Whether they were asked to make a sacrifice or a pleasant surprise for the Racing Godess remains to be seen. But for now, what's made privy to all of us is the special task which they started to accomplish right after they played tug-o-war.

With a touch of irony, they were told to take a bath first before proceeding to the storage room where their costumes lay in waiting for them. There the five selected celebrities covered their bodies with paint, following a unified checkered flag design, which we mostly see in circuits. To complete their outfit, they wore a strapped-tire on their waists. Then they came out of hiding by skating around the house with their brand new roller blades!

Naturally, Gab immediately realized that the task is related to her. She asked if it was a punishment but Mariel said no. Other than that, the five of them were tight-lipped regarding their "secret mission" which is extended till later. In fact, they were instructed to sleep on the living room for tonight with their costumes on!

Gaby Quits PBB

Aside from nine demanding piglets to be worried about last Sunday, mixed emotions poured from the housemates as they faced another pressing nomination night. But before that dreaded moment, they first celebrated a Baboy Shower where the piglets were christened with interesting names by their stellar ninangs and ninongs varying from Spud, Pidotz, Posh, Babe, Porkchop, Don, Apollo, Cheeky and B-boy.

Then came the announcement of those who are at risk by this week which included Gaby, Ethel, Baron, Donnie and Victor. Upon learning this news, the Ultimate Pasaway received it with pleasure since she had been raring to go back to the outside world anyway. To Big Brother, she explained how it would be easier for her not to get too attached to her housemates because it makes parting too difficult to bear. At the same time, she reasoned that her family needs her to be by their side.

But if she's expecting to make an exit this coming Saturday, then she and the rest of Kuya's residents are in for a surprise for Gaby has made up her mind regarding her seminar abroad. At 9:30 p.m. tonight, she told Big Brother with finality in her voice, "as much as it hurts, lalabas na ako. This is a vital decision she made for herself, for the sake of a passion which she desperately wants to succeed in against all the odds.

As such, PBB's host Ms. Toni Gonzaga announced that there would be no usual eviction process this week. And on Saturday, we will be witnessing this edition's first voluntary exit! To date, the housemates still don't have idea on what transpired between the Racing Godess and Big Brother. How will Mariel react once she learns that her closest friend inside the big yellow house has quit? Will Gaby weave more special moments with her housemates now that she'll be leaving in a week's time?

Gaby has to leave the yellow house?

Riza, who is the current HOH chose Gaby as her automatic nominee. The Desirable Diva felt that she has yet to get to know Gaby. She also then realized how hard it is to be the Head of Household and that having power is equivalent to having a lot of responsibility.

In addition..Gaby had something to resolve with Big Brother regarding the outside world. She had an upcoming Driver Development Program for International Racing in Arizona, USA from November 16-18 which meant she has to leave the yellow house for more than a day. Gaby now has to make a decision within 24 hours -- Will she will take the opportunity to attend a seminar abroad or continue her stay as a celebrity housemate?

Gaby's Dispute With Big Brother

Gaby and Ruben owned up to emulate the statue-like pose of St. Michael The Archangel and The Devil which lasted until the given lighted candle totally melted.

However, it soon became evident that the greatest burden was carried by the Racing Godess and the Probinsyanong Promdi. Staying still for six hours was definitely numbing and tiring which perhaps made Gab more sensitive than usual. Not only were they the latest to finish the task but they were also ravenous by that time.

Gaby's aggravation was the fact that Big Brother did not even inform them whether they were done or not. It was a matter of knowing where they stand so they can move on and join the others -- which they have waited for yet did not receive. Later, she brought this up on the confession room but Big Brother merely explained that he hasn't acknowledged their feat since he wanted to give his verdict together with the results of the other challenges. But Gaby felt disrespected after the whole ordeal.
