WATCH: Maymay and McCoy's reaction to Cora getting a 'PBB Lucky 7' slot

Pinoy Big Brother Lucky Season 7 housemates Maymay Entrata and McCoy De Leon just couldn't hide their dismay and disappointment at Elisse Joson getting evicted last night instead of Cora Waddell.


For the first time ever, a back-to-back nomination and eviction happened on on Pinoy Big Brother. Up for eviction was housemates Kisses Delavin, Yong Muhajil, Elisse and Cora, while the remaining housemates, namely Maymay, Hashtags' Nikko Natividad and McCoy, Tanner Mata and Edward Barber, already took their slots in the Final "Lucky 7" (or Big 7).

After just 7-minute of public voting, the last evictee of the season was revealed and it's Elisse, who only got 12.73% of the votes. Yong, Kisses and Cora, who garnered 41.1%, 26,71%, 19.46% respectively, then completed the "Lucky 7".

Poor Cora, coz she was the last to be called and had to feel that awkward "cold" reaction of both Maymay and McCoy upon knowing she's the one who got the 7th and last Lucky 7 spot.

Maymay, who was close to Elisse, was visibly shocked and couldn't stop crying, while the also visibly shocked McCoy could hardly smile to Cora and was unable to hide his disappointment that his loveteam partner has already left the PBB house.







Cora was later shown reaching out to Maymay and McCoy, and gave them a "beso".


Watch that intense moment on this video:

The Lucky 7 consists of 4 teens, 2 regular housemates and just 1 celebrity (McCoy & Nikko are 2-in-1 housemates).

The 2-night Big Night is already set this coming March 4 and 5. To vote for your Big Winner, just type BB(name of housemate) on your mobile phones and send it to 2366.

I’m Drunk, I Love You Movie Review: Maja Salvador Gives An Exceptional Performance That Is More Affecting Than Anything She Has Done Before

NEOPHYTE WRITER-DIRECTOR JP HABAC's "I'm Drunk, I Love You" is the first good local film we've seen this year. Not everyone can relate to it, but young viewers (especially those who love to drink beer) will surely enjoy the style and the treatment which is very now. The ending is not the usual happily ever after, but it's so empowering for anyone who has experienced unrequited love and has finally realized that he has finally freed himself from its confining chains.

Caridad Sonia or Carson (Maja Salvador) and Dio (Paulo Avelino) have been best friends for seven years while college students in U.P. She's taking up social work and he's into filmmaking and we wish that, somehow, we're told how they end up as heterosexual bosom friends without a hint of romance.The depth of close friendship they have achieved between a man and a woman is quite rare. Maja also has a gay best friend, Jason Ty (Dominic Roco), who knows she's been so in love with Paulo for so long.

A few days before graduation, they're both at the crossroads. They both had extended stays in college
 and the future seems vague. They know they both have to grow up, be more mature and responsible with their lives. Maja doesn't know exactly what she'd do after getting a diploma. And it's suddenly revealed that Paulo wants to go to law school. They both can't decide if they'd join their school's graduation rites or skip it. Then, in this period of uncertainty, Paulo suddenly asks Maja to accompany him to a music festival in La Union, and Dominic tags along.


The film doesn't really have much of a convoluted story. During their stay in La Union, Paulo meets his ex-girlfriend anew, Pathy (Jasmine Curtis Smith), and Dominic falls in love with an African American boy who entices him to be part of a threesome, and he agrees. And it is also here where Maja finally gets the guts to tell Paulo how she has honestly been feeling about him all along. And that's it.

This kind of unconventional love story, which has no melodramatic twists and turns, is actually difficult to do, especially for local audiences who have come to prefer mushy plot developments in the movies they watch. Dan Villegas has also done it with similar success in "Always Be My Maybe", and Antoinette Jadaone in "That Thing Called Tadhana". You might feel that nothing much is happening but actually, the angst, the tension is building up and you know it's heading somewhere.

Here, a lot of time is spent on talking and drinking and hanging out... and more drinking. And it all holds because it is very well acted. And the kind of acting is "no acting, please." Everyone is just so relaxed, so natural, especially Maja.

Maja is exceptionally good in this film. She totally inhabits her character. There are long "tuhog" scenes, particularly the one with Dominic where she recounts the foolish things she did in the seven years that she's been secretly in love with Paulo, where she is so deliciously consistent. There are scenes where you want to reach out and hug her for she succeeds in making us actually feel her pain, like the scene where, after she reveals her feelings for Paulo, he kisses her but she pushes him away because she is aware that he's just trying to console her and he's not really in love with her anyway.

 And her very meaningful smile in the end when she says "graduate na ako" is just so priceless, signifying her realization that she has moved on from loving someone who doesn't love her back, that she has grown, she has come of age and now, she just has to move on to the next chapter of her life. We know she has won an acting award for "Thelma", but her performance here is definitely much more affecting than anything she has done before.

JP Habac is surely a young filmmaker to watch who knows how to use subtlety in the simplest of ways. For instance, when Maja meets Jasmine Curtis Smith, she learns that the name of her rival is Pathy and she makes fun of the letter H, conveying the jealousy and insecurity she feels at the moment. Habac also films his scenes with daringly adventurous camera angles and craftily uses a lot of contemporary local songs to underline the feelings that characters go through in some scenes. For young viewers, they will find many scenes and many emo songs very relatable. For the older ones, it will bring back memories of the times when you were younger, foolish, and reckless in love.

ON THE WINGS OF LOVE next on Startimes Novela E1 Africa

These are somewhat icky times in Pinoy showbiz & Pinoy politics is definitely has more sizzle, but Pinoy teleserye continues with its steady march forward. The JaDine loveteam of James Reid & Nadine Lustre was the first among the Pinoy loveteams to catch my attention two years ago. They have since filmed many movies & two teleseryes, to varying degrees of acclaim, but they managed to be included into the Big 3 young loveteams of the country. It has been a puzzle why for sometime, nobody was buying their first teleserye while those of the other two big Pinoy loveteams Kathniel & Lizquen were readily flying high in many parts of the world. Nearly a year after its release, it finally got shown in Indonesia late last year. Then Myanmar, now Africa.

The JaDine loveteam is at a crossroads. Their last two films have been disappointments, so with their second teleserye, Til I Met You. What's next for the team?
