Fil-Am Sam Says Goodbye to Pinoy Big Brother

“Sam-one” had to say goodbye tonight and he’s the Fil-Am heartthrob Sam.
In another thrilling eviction night, Sam left the house after becoming the fifth evictee of Pinoy Big Brother. Jason, the other nominee, prevailed over Sam by holding on to his very slim lead up to end of tonight’s tightly contested voting match. The Batangueño got the majority of the votes with 53.8% compared to the Fil-Am boy’s 46.2%.

Huge Crowd Welcomes Sam

Sam, who once feared of being hated by the viewers, got so overwhelmed by the huge crowd waiting for him outside the house. The fans screamed and cheered as soon as they saw the Fil-Am heartthrob smiling at them.

According to Sam, he considers his stay in Big Brother’s house as a very wonderful experience. He also thanked his fans, who have been very supportive since his 1st day in Pinoy Big Brother.

The Fil-Am boy got more surprised when he saw his mother, who flew all the way to Manila from the US last night just to be with her son. He immediately embraced his mom, whom he missed so much while he was still in the house.

The “Bunso” of PBB

Sam, who is also known as “bunso” and “Kano,” became a favorite upon entering Big Brother’s house on September 17 as Jenny’s replacement, who voluntarily left the house that same day. Upon his arrival, the housemates treated the Fil-Am boy with utmost hospitality. In his first week, the housemates got very impressed with Sam after getting a perfect score in his exam for their weekly challenge “Operation Uncle Sam,” wherein they taught their bunso how to become a certified Pinoy.

Aside from succeeding in his first weekly task, Sam’s first week in Pinoy Big Brother was also hounded by a controversy because of what happened in his welcome party, wherein he got too intimate with Chx. Their intimate moment eventually blossomed into a short-lived love affair a week before Chx’s got evicted.

The talented Mr. Milby

Aside from his ability to learn fast, the housemates were also amazed with Sam’s talent in music. They spent most of their free time jamming with Sam and his guitar. His failed relationships in the past also inspired him to compose the song “Magmahal Muli,” which became an instant hit not only inside the house but also in the outside world. Many also got very impressed with his performance during the “Concert In The House” weekly task.

Although he’s very talented, his inability to clearly understand and speak Tagalog fluently took toll on Sam. Throughout his stay in the house, Sam had a hard time communicating with the housemates because of the language barrier between them. These past few weeks, Sam looked so bored during group activities and discussions since he couldn’t express his real feelings to the housemates. He also confessed to Big Brother that although he had been staying in the house for quite some time already, he still found it very difficult to show his real self to his housemates.

The gap caused by his inability to clearly communicate with his housemates led to his nomination and, eventually, his eviction tonight. “Lahat kami magkakasundo at magkakapatid, Siya lang minsan yung naiiba, mas gusto niya yung nag-iisa, hindi sya nakikihalubilo sa amin,” Nene explained after nominating Sam for eviction last week.

Although Sam didn’t become the big winner of Pinoy Big Brother, his 49-day stint inside the house made the Fil-Am boy a certified Pinoy. Housemates will surely miss his song “Magmahal Muli” and his unique way of pronouncing the word “Ayoko.”

The Next Nomination

Now that Sam is out, who will the housemates nominate for the next eviction night? Find out on Monday, as the number one reality show on TV goes live again for the 6th Nomination Night of Pinoy Big Brother, 9:30PM on ABS-CBN.
