Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition Plus
Is the second edition of Pinoy Big Brother for adolescents 16 to 19 years. It was premiered on Easter Sunday, March 23, 2008 and ended on June 7, 2008, The Big Night.
Toni Gonzaga returned as primetime host; this is also the first Teen Edition that she hosted. Mariel Rodriguez, the previous Teen Edition primetime host, also returned to host the late afternoon edition, Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition Plus Ãœber. Bianca Gonzalez once again hosted the show’s Update skits after being the regular host of Ãœber in the second Celebrity Edition; she once hosted the Update slot back in the second regular season. Luis Manzano returned to the show as Gonzaga’s alternate host/co-host in the primetime edition; he appeared previously as co-host in a live airing of first Celebrity Edition.
This time, the prizes offered for the winner are a laptop, an LCD TV set, kitchen appliances, a business showcase, a condominium, and one million pesos.
On March 4, 2008, local news on ABS-CBN reported that Big Brother had already sent 30 Dream Keys along with special instructions in a sealed envelope. The instructions told the receiver that they must go to the final casting call in Manila without public information. From these thirty who answered the casting call, fourteen were chosen to enter the house.
The BIGginning March 16, 2008. It showed the selection process used to choose the fourteen official housemates. While their faces were blurred to withhold their identities, a few of them were eventually shown and their names revealed as Big Brother told them of their rejection through his Big Red Phone.
There are several reasons the word “Plus” is added to the edition name. One, as has been already stated, is Luis’s return to the show. The second reason is the two housemates added to the announced twelve, both connected to the storied Ateneo-La Salle rivalry. The third is the secret rooms Luis revealed during the opening night of the edition. These rooms are being occupied by the Housemates’ Guardians, who are also the fourth reason.
Unlike Pinoy Ako and Sikat ang Pinoy, both of which were rehashed, the original Kabataang Pinoy by Itchyworms is used for this season without any alterations. A remixed version of the song (which combines its beat with those of Crank That and Smack That to name a few) was used throughout the opening night.
House theme
The primer also revealed the new look of the House interior, which Manzano describes as having a “funky, modern Moroccan” design with more elegant and colorful furnishings. Also, the “garden” is now dominated by a large swimming pool. Furthermore, the new housemates enter the House area through the facade instead of the Eviction Hall as housemates in the second regular edition and the second Celebrity Edition did.
Also, what used to be the activity area is now a part of the House called a “Plus Base.” It has additional bedrooms, a garden, and a jacuzzi; it is currently being occupied by the Guardians. Conversely, part of the Eviction Hall has been renovated into the new activity area.
