Pinoy Big Brother Season 1 housemates proved that nothing, or even no one, can beat the original. With their successful reunion concert entitled Tuloy Ang Buhay Sa Mas Pinalaking Bahay held last September 15th at the Araneta Coliseum, the first batch of housemates of the phenomenal reality TV show all together affirmed that they still have what it takes to make the audience jump up and down their seats.
The concert featured all the 13 housemates in extravagant song and dance numbers that brought the Big Dome down. Sexy girls Chx Alcala, Say Alonso,
and Jenny Suico were all out in their enticing dance number, but it was their 3rd Big Placer, Cass Ponti, who allured PBB fans with her rendition of Rihanna's Umbrella. The boys, on the other hand, stepped it up on the dance floor -- Rico Barrera, JB Magsaysay, Bob Dela Cruz, and 4th Big Place Uma Khouny giving a showdown of sorts. Meanwhile, Big Winner Nene Tamayo again put on her dancing shoes for another ballroom number with her dance partner and husband, Anthony, and fellow U Can Dance season 1 finalists. Other housemates also had the opportunity to perform with well-known OPM artists, like when Franzen Fajardo rapped his lungs out with Salbakuta and Jason Gainza sang with Rocksteady.
But it was heartthrob Sam Milby who made the night a very memorable one. Despite being just an "incidental" housemate and not even making it to the finals, this cute boy from the States's showbiz career flew to record breaking heights when he left the house. Singing Maging Sino Ka Man and My Girl, Sam caused quite a stir among the audience, especially the girls and the "not-actually" girls. Sam later thanked everyone for their support, because if it had not be for the Sam-fanatics, he wouldn't have come this far.
Cristy Fermin and Jobert Sucaldito also graced the concert for a chat with all of the housemates wherein they got to talk about their PBB experience and how
their lives have been so far. Of course, knowing Nanay Cristy and Tito Jobert, an interview will not be complete without tackling some touchy issues concerning the housemates. The whole of Araneta listened as Say and JB each gave their side of the story regarding the recent argument they had during a press conference. Also, Uma clarified the rumor claiming he called season 2 housemate, Wendy Valdez, a "plastic." The Israeli housemate also reacted to the "not-so-nice" comments that Wendy apparently said about him. Tactless as he is, Uma ended the interview by saying that their batch is way more famous compared to other batches of PBB housemates.
In behalf of her colleagues, Nene thanked everyone for supporting their reunion concert, and then introduced The Dawn who sang their signature song, Salamat. This capped the night that will be etched in the memory of all PBB fans, a night when the people who started the phenomena once again gathered and showed everyone they still have Big Brother's magic.
