PBB round the clock
Reality TV round the clock
Forget that your mother told you that Peeping Toms will burn in hell.
With the increasing interest and hype over reality TV shows nowadays, one can never deny the fact that we have become modern-day voyeurs, silent peepers camped in front of our TV sets, sitting in the comforts of our homes. Simply put, we are just waiting for the ground to open up and swallow us whole.
In truth, reality TV shows—wholesome or otherwise—satiate our voyeuristic yearnings, nagging, perverted urge to see other people in their most unguarded moments, unscripted and unadulterated.
Among those reality TV shows is Pinoy Big Brother, ABS-CBN’s franchise of the popular Big Brother in the US. Every day, we get to see 12 housemates breathe and live under one roof through countless cameras monitoring their every move, every word they speak, everything they do, practically. Shower scenes are, unfortunately, not broadcast.
Because of the increasing interest over the show, SkyCable thought of cashing in on the popularity of Pinoy Big Brother by coming up with the only cable channel TV dedicated to Pinoy Big Brother, 24 hours a day!
Now you can watch the real happenings inside the Big Brother house. No more deleted scenes, incongruous dialogue lines, long commercials, and surprising instances brought about by hours and hours of editing for fear of incurring the ire of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).
For a minimum subscription fee of P1,500, fans can witness Uma mouthing another tactless one-liner, or Rico crying himself to sleep because of his ex, or Say and JP developing a bond deeper than friendship—all unedited and uninterrupted—until the end of the season.
Since people these days spend more time in front of the computer than in front of TV, Zpdee, SkyCable’s broadband cable Internet service, has also joined in the bandwagon, offering exclusive scenes to its subscribers, 24 hours a day, free of charge! Subscribers of the 256 kbps plan get a free one-week access, while those on the 512 kbps get one-month free access. All they have to do is log on to www.pinoybigbrother.com.
According to director Laurenti Dyogi, Pinoy Big Brother is slowly generating a following among the 20s and 30s. That’s why the tie-up was hatched in a very opportune time. In fact, this early, he is already getting calls from interested parties who are eyeing a spot for PBB’s second season. “There’s definitely going to be a second season.”
