Ready, get set, go! The iconic 'Smart forfour coolstyle' (a brand of DaimlerChrysler) parked at PBB’s activity area is not there for some exciting road trip. Rather, the housemates embarked on a box-in challenge to test their flexibility and breathing powers coupled with the car's tiny seating capacity!
It’s not always the four balik-bahay housemates who have to be detained in the four corners of their secret room. But the latest task that the resident HMs undertook was not a comfortable and spacious lock down in their cold rooms but in an adorable but compact automobile instead.
One by one they made their way inside the car and took their tight positions. Bea, G-ann and Nel shared the backseat with Saicy on their laps. Mommy Yen chose to sit on the middle part of the car while the heavy guys settled in front. Mickey took the passenger seat with Robert sitting on him. Last to come in was Bodie who stretched himself over Bruce. Naturally, they brought with them their kamote-fest packs to eat inside the car! The cool mom was in-charge with it and she literally fed them every now and then.
Imagine the heat and stiffness they have to struggle with since the two windows upfront were opened only a few inches down! So when they started this sweaty task, Bodie led a prayer hoping that they would be able to hold on until the two-hour limit ends. However, Bruce reminded them to just give their best efforts with the option to give up if they feel faint or dizzy. He was really worried for the girl's well-being particulaly Baby G's.
Big Brother was not so stern this time. He gave them a chance to get out of the car and dance the PBB dance theme to stretch their legs a bit. But the HMs preferred to stay in the moist car exclaiming that they would only have a hard time going back inside again. Hence, Kuya simply gave a reprieve by allowing them to open the door for five seconds.

After one hour, Big Brother stipulated that one of them could finally leave the car. And Bodie was elected to do so. As they drew closer to the ‘finish line’, they became more motivated to put their best foot forward and make it until the end.
Determined to succeed, they conquered all the difficulties that come with being squeezed with each other in the Smart car. How did they keep themselves from surrendering in this risky dare? And who among them almost didn’t make it in the end? No doubt about it. The HMs can never be accused of being quitters! |
