Nene Tamayo says it’s normal for housemates to fight in the Big Brother house

Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash 2010 has become controversial with the increasing number of conflicts among the housemates. But in an interview with Nene Tamayo, the Pinoy Big Brother Season 1 Big Winner claimed that what they’re going through is no different from what transpired in previous PBB installments. It’s just that she got lucky because she never got involved in backstabbing issues. “Yung normal na away, meron talagang ganon. Hindi mo maiiwasan na may mga magkaka-close, may hindi close. Madami din sa amin. Actually, nung time na yun wala akong pakialam kasi ang gusto ko lang mag-enjoy at manalo. Kapag nag-aaway sila, napansin ko na ako lang yung walang kaaway sa bahay ni Kuya.”

Nene cheerfully recalled that the only people whom she usually fought with were Uma Khouny and Big Brother himself. “Kung nakikipag-away man ako kay Uma, yung kulitan lang. Or kapag hindi ako sang-ayon sa sinasabi ni Big Brother sasabihin ko talaga, ‘Big Brother hindi po fair ‘yan,’ mga ganon lang. So far naman kasi sa entire na pagsasama namin ng mga ka-batch ko, maganda talaga. Para kaming naging magkakapatid to the point na parang nakalimutan namin na may camera pala na nakapalibot sa amin. Yun, ang saya.”

As a matter of fact, Nene still keeps in touch with her fellow housemates even though she’s not that active in showbiz anymore. “Kami nila Cass (Ponti), Say (Alonzo), Chx (Alcala), at Uma, nagkikita pa rin. Si Kuya Jayson (Gainza) magkasama kami last Sunday, parang naging totoong magkamag-anak na kami. Kasi ‘pag nagkikita kami, wala kaming pakialam, nakakalimutan namin na wala na pala kami sa loob ng bahay kasi ang ingay-ingay namin palagi.”

Nene further explains that misunderstandings inside the house, no matter how huge they seem to be, can still be resolved once the housemates are back in the real world again. “Oo naman, naaayos din yun sa huli. Kasi siyempre iba yung effect nung palagi kayo magkakasama, walang space masyado para makapag-isip kung anong tamang gawin. Kumbaga yung emotions mo mas intense kasi kayo-kayo lang ang nandun. Siguro meron lang hindi talaga naaayos katulad nung kay Say tsaka kay JB (Magsaysay) kasi siyempre iba naman yung sa kanila, puso na yung pinag-uusapan. Pero more or less pagkatapos ng lahat, friends pa rin kayo.”
