Divine Maitland-Smith Says Rhian Ramos is her Crush

PBB Unlimited's Divine Maitland-Smith disappoints Slavine fans after confessing that her showbiz crush is Rhian Ramos and not Slater Young. Both Divine and Slater guested on The Buzz last Sunday, April 29.

Divine said in her The Buzz interview that she likes Slater but as we all know, Divine's sexual preference is not the kind of Slater and besides, she had a girlfriend.

“If my sexual preference was different, of course, I would be interested in Slater. Pero, I am a lesbian and proud of it but Slater has the characteristics of a guy that I would be looking for if I were straight,” said Divine.

Slater Young had admitted that Divine is his ultimate crush. Even inside the PBB house, Slater had his liking towards Divine. One time while partying inside Kuya's house, the two shared a kiss as part of a dare. He said he did not hesitate to kiss Divine because they were very close and with the knowledge that he doesn't have a chance as Divine is in a relationship outside.

Meanwhile, Divine admitted that Slater has all the qualities a woman would like in a man saying that the PBB Unlimited big winner is very manly and has a lot of charm.

“He’s very manly. Because I would prefer a more manly guy. He’s very manly, he opens the door, he’s very charming, he’s lahat. He’s a good guy,” shared Divine.

“Pero I know who I am and I’ve been this way since bata ako so…I mean I love Slater so much but… I don’t know. As for now, I know who I am,” she added.

When asked if she is willing to take part in a love team with Slater if a showbiz project knocks, Divine welcomed the possibility of a true Slavine team up. 

“I would love to do it. It’s a big challenge for me. Plus we’d have so much fun working together,” ended Divine.

Slater Young To Live His Showbiz Dream

Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited Big Winner Slater Young, a licensed civil engineer, had decided to try his luck in showbiz after winning PBB. The 24-year old Cebuano considers himself more of an actor than a dancer or singer.

Slater revealed in his PEP interview that he will undergo acting workshops to prepare himself for future projects and according his handlers, Slater shows great potential in his past workshops and acting exercises.

Dancing is really Slater's waterloo and described it as his Achilles' heel. He said that he would rather sing than dance in a production number.

Slater knew that being in showbiz is so much harder than what he had been through inside Kuya’s house, but he said that he is willing to give his all to his dream of joining showbiz.

Slater was overwhelmed with the overflowing support he had received from the time he was still inside until now that he's been proclaimed Big Winner in the said reality show. There are fans craving for his tandem with his closest friends inside the house, Divine (SlaVine) and Tin (SlaTin) whom Slater admitted he has a crush with.

Although very thankful, a forward-looking Slater knows that a lot of work is still at hand. The PBB Unlimited Big Winner and the very first male winner in a regular edition said that he intends to work extra hard to be worthy of the support he have been blessed with.

Last night, Slater and the rest of the Big 4 appeared in a production number during the PBB Teens 4 'Fun-Tastic Kick off.' With new housemates entering the house (and possible competitions), Slater confessed that he feel pressured but he will just focus on the things that he could work on - and do his best.

PBB Unlimited BIG 4 Announced!

Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited has finally uncovered this edition's BIG 4 three days before the Big Night at the Grandstand. This was after an overnight one vote per sim voting.

The PBB Unlimited Big 4

• Pamu Pamorada - 12.51%
• Paco Evangelista - 16.91%
• Joseph Emil Biggel - 15.56%
• Jan Slater Young - 49.51%

The last evictee of the season happened to be Divine Maitland-Smith who got the lowest percentage of fan votes with only 5.51%. 

It can be noted that Slater moved from the last voting tally 4 notches to get to the top. Biggel eventually fell to 3rd place while Paco moved up to 2nd place. Pamu remained in the 4th spot, enough to topple Divine which  dropped to 5th place. This big change in the percentage of votes tally is the effect of one vote per sim overnight voting.

Now that we already have our PBB BIG 4, it's time to choose our BIG WINNER. Voting will be reset and the Big 4's votes will be back to zero. The start of voting for the Big winner will be announced in later episodes (perhaps tomorrow) so watch out for more updates on PBB Unlimited.

Watch the PBB Unlimited Big Night live this Saturday, March 31 at the Quirino Grandstand. Admission is free so better get there early to have the most convenient place. Don't forget to bring your umbrellas.

Will it be 'Big 4' or 'Big 5' in PBB Unlimited?

Tin named newest evictee. Biggel leads latest overnight voting.

Before viewers get to vote for their favorite housemate for the Big Winner title, the five remaining housemates of “Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited” namely Biggel, Divine, Paco, Pamu, and Slater have to first go through a special challenge that will give them the chance to grab another slot to add to the usual Big Four slots at the Big Night.

For the first time in PBB history, the housemates were offered the ‘Big Shot for a Big Slot’ task that will determine if all or only four of them will battle out for the Big Winner title at the much-awaited “PBB Unlimited: Big Night at the Grandstand” to be held at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila this Saturday (Mar 31).

If Biggel, Divine, Paco, Pamu, and Slater fail, one of them will get the boot. If they succeed, each of them will automatically secure a slot at the Big Night. What test will Big Brother give them now?

Meanwhile, mentions on Tin, who was evicted from the Big Brother house last Saturday (Mar 24), flooded Twitter worldwide, clinching two spots in the micro-blogging site. Tin’s eviction shocked many viewers as she usually dominated previous voting polls in the season.

Tin, daughter of basketball superstar Alvin Patrimonio, fell short in gaining support from her fans and managed to garner only 11.50% of the votes versus Slater (14.16%), Pamu (17.26%), Paco (18.39%), Divine (19.20%), and Biggel (19.49%).

Who will go head-to-head for the Big Winner title at the Big Night? Don’t miss the exciting developments in the season’ last week in “Pinoy Big Brother UnliDay” with Bianca Gonzalez weekdays after “Angelito: Batang Ama” in Kapamilya Gold and in “Pinoy Big Brother UnliNight” with Toni Gonzaga weeknights after “Dahil sa Pag-ibig” in Primetime Bida. Also stay tuned to “PBB Unlimited Updates” with Robi Domingo during “Angelito: Batang Ama” and “E-Boy” on ABS-CBN.

Carlo was welcomed by Wendy Tabusalla in the outside world, cheering and handing a shirt with Carlo's name in it. Now that Wendy is single and ready to mingle again, will Carlo pursue Wendy outside? This will be a good news for CaNdy fans.

Meanwhile, ex-housemate Paco Evangelista is back on the game as a wildcard housemate. After a 24-hour voting period which started last Thursday night, 73.37% of PBB fans who voted wanted Paco back as an official housemate while only 26.63% disagree. This decision will now give Paco the chance to be included in the Big 4 and eventually, for the coveted Big Winner title.

While this may be a good news for Paco's fans, many other PBB fans cried unfair for Big Brother's decision to give the said chance only to Paco, ignoring the other previously evicted housemates, more so the others that exit voluntarily.

Kuya's Fairy Godmothers Grant Wishes in PBB Unlimited

The remaining housemates suffered and fought back against the oppressive Don Baron and Donya Beauty last week, but this time, they are in for a treat as three former PBB Big Winners named as ‘Kuya’s Fairy Godmothers’ (KFGs) entered the famous house to make their wishes come true this week in Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited.

What will the housemates ask from former PBB Big Winners Nene Tamayo (Season 1), Beatriz Saw (Season 2), and Keanna Reeves (Celebrity Edition)? Aside from granting their requests, the KFGs will also give joy, inspiration, and encouragement to the remaining housemates who will battle for the four slots in the Big Night to be held at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila on March 31 (Saturday).

Meanwhile, housemates Biggel, Carlo, Divine, at Slater are on the chopping block this week, and one of them will be losing the chance to enter the Big Four. The nominee who garnered the lowest percentage of votes in the overnight voting held yesterday will leave the Big Brother house in the eviction night on Saturday (Mar 17).

Big Brother continues to pull unlimited surprises as the housemates are split into two groups – Biggel, Pamu, and Tin remained in the ‘hacienda,’ while Carlo, Divine, and Slater, and house player Paco returned to the mansion. Last week’s tough physical tasks brought out the bold and brave in them, but more challenges loom for the housemates in their last three weeks in the house.

Meanwhile, the Dreamboy of California Kevin was finally evicted last Saturday (Mar 10) for garnering the lowest percentage of public votes (22.56%) against Carlo (24.56%), Biggel (25.02%), and Tin (27.86%). He left the house with Seiichi, who was named evictee last week.

Don’t miss the exciting developments in the season’s last three weeks in “Pinoy Big Brother UnliDay” with Bianca Gonzalez weekdays after “Angelito: Batang Ama” in Kapamilya Gold and in “Pinoy Big Brother UnliNight” with Toni Gonzaga weeknights after “Dahil sa Pag-ibig” in Primetime Bida.

PBB Unlimited 'Power Of One' Rule Implemented

Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited implemented a new process in voting. The so-called 'Power of One' twist will enable only 1 vote per sim card for the whole voting process which will last only for a day (or overnight voting). This new rule in voting will be a big factor in determining who among the nominated housemates is the true favorite of the masses.

This week, 4 housemates were nominated. They are Joseph Biggel, Carlo Romero, Divine Maithland-Smith and Slater Young. They were put into the list by getting at least 1 vote from fellow housemates, meaning the number of points given to each nominee has no bearing. Pamu and Tin were the only housemates who were not nominated by fellow housemates.

Meanwhile, former Big Winners Nene Tamayo, Beatriz Saw and Keanna Reeves will enter the house as Kuya's Fairy Godmothers who will grant wishes of lucky housemates.

Don't miss the last few days of PBB Unlimited as the Big Night will happen this March 31 at the Quirino Grandstand.

Seiichi Ushimi Evicted From PBB Unlimited!

Pinoy Anime of Japan, Seiichi Ushimi is the latest evictee of Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited on the show's 12th eviction night which happened last March 3. Seiichi got the least number of save votes from fans among the other nominees, Divine and Kevin.

Divine got almost half of the fan votes (49.17%) while Kevin was saved with 27.69% of votes. Seiichi got only 23.15% of votes, making him the latest evictee of the famous house. However, Seiichi will stay inside the house for some mission even as an evicted housemate, but not as a house player such in the case of Paco.

Meanwhile, the PBB M5 had left the house last night and according to Rica Paras, Divine is the housemate that deserves to be the big winner. She said that Divine was the one housemate she had proven to be true inside the house. For Beauty Gonzales, her big 4 picks were housemates Biggel, Divine, Slater and Pamu. Baron Geisler believed that Tin should step up for her to be so deserving for inclusion in the Big 4.

Don't miss PBB Unlimited as it nears to its Big night. More exciting tasks will be served to help the people discern who among the housemates deserve to be the one BIG WINNER.

These housemates will be tasked to get to the limits of the housemates and help the viewers on who is the real PBB big winner.

In the teaser for the next episode, Paco had a word war with the rest of the housemates and seem to spark another 'Bea-Maricris' scene. Housemates Slater and Biggel are seen angry and irritated with Paco, who called the other housemates 'plastic' and unreal. Slater challenged Paco to name who the latter was referring to while Biggel just told Paco to shut up.

Big Brother will be out and the house was left for the M6 management. We will see the M6 test the 'strings' of the housemates.

What will happen after this Big war? Will the M6 be successful in unleashing the true colors of the housemates? Find out on PBB Unliday after Angelito: Batang Ama and on PBB Unlinight after Budoy.
