Yes! the new season has invaded the social media sites and I know this will be the big page turner for the entire Big brother series.More pics below and also a close up look of the new housemates sa bahay ni Kuya.
The big brother house looks like to be a 2 floor house, that's why it was called Double up, there are also hints that there might be two big brother in the house, not sure yet, but Lauren Dyogi said that there might be a possibility and it will be big surprise for all. Also the 2 floor house will be completed before Sunday and the old Big Brother house that we know from the previous series and season is no longer available, they renovated and fix everything for having a new look and angle. "The kitchen has been relocated, the bedroom is different, the camera angle wont be the same as you seen in previous season", Lauren Dyogi explained to us, and it showed a surprise facial expression from the three PBB hosts, and told us that they don't have any idea what it look it.

The old big brother house has been damaged by the Typhoon Ondoy, and the renovation took place after it and rebuilding a new house for this new season. "The new big brother house is much more stronger, and different from the old house, it can withstand from any typhoon and storm, this time we are very ready and assure of our housemates safety." Dyogi said. I'm very excited for the new season, and the feeling of attending a press con and interviews with the makers of the PBB added more excitement to me, I think the TV will be glued to my eyes and see who are these new housemates.

imagine... make Nanay Dioniso more younger. I'm laughing at this video, because she's so funny and I think she is a potential big winner in the future. If my hearing aid is correct, she is a teacher that joined the big brother house.

at the end of the press con, Lauren Dyogi clears his name and explained to us that he is not "kuya" or the big brother voice character inside the house, he also cleared that he is not "Bro" of May Bukas Pa and the "banker" of Deal or no Deal. The three female hosts also defended that Lauren and Kuya are different person, and this was a living proof when they saw Lauren watching the video live monitor with them to monitor the activity of the housemates, and then they even heard Kuya spoke to the housemates in real time. Thus makes Lauren and Kuya a different person. hmmm.. so what do you guys think?
