Aussie Overcomes Health Crisis to Win Pinoy Big Brother Teen
By Bayani San Diego Jr.
Philippine Daily Inquirer

.
MANILA, Philippines – Although his two-month run on the ABS-CBN reality show “Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010” almost ended because of a health crisis, James Reid of Australia still emerged on top – beating favorites Ryan Bang of Korea and Fretzie Bercede of Cebu in the finals held at the Yñares Sports Center in Antipolo City Saturday night.
. Randy Dellosa, resident psychologist of PBB, thought it was the “cute factor” that won it for Reid. . “He’s a novelty,” Dellosa explained to the Philippine Daily Inquirer in an exclusive interview on Sunday. “A lot of viewers found him cute and his Aussie accent fascinating, too.”
. He also got to show off his “determination” inside the House of Kuya (Big Brother), according to the reality show’s production staff. . In an exclusive interview, Reid agreed: “When I got sick in the house, I was able to show strength, that I could go on with the competition.”
. At one point during the contest, he was rushed to a hospital and, in spite of a “collapsed lung,” returned to the PBB house.
.
“The doctors advised me against going back. But I convinced my dad and the production staff that I could do it,” Reid, 17, said.
. “Viewers had a maternal reaction toward him and wanted to take care of him,” Dellosa said. “Since he was sidelined and kept a low profile, he didn’t have a chance to show negative traits on air.”
.
Reid described his triumph as “unexpected.” “Winning feels great, but I’m still in shock,” he told the Inquirer.
.Dellosa advised Reid that PBB was no instant ticket to fame. “Winning is not a guarantee . . . you have to prove yourself. You have to work hard.”
.
Reid himself is aware of the challenges. “I plan to take Tagalog lessons and enroll in a couple of [acting] workshops,” he said.
. Perseverance, after all, is the biggest lesson of his stay in Kuya’s house. “The last thing Big Brother told me was ‘Dream big!’ That’s the same advice I can share to other teenagers,” Reid said.
.
Reid won P1 million cash, a P3-million condo unit, a water-refilling franchise worth P1.5 million, an Asian trip for two, a laptop and a 46-inch LCD TV.

Crocodile Tears, Phony Drama on Wowowee

The big question is: Now that Willie Revillame is on a three-month leave from the show, will things go back to normal for him when he returns? Can he get his bearings back after the “temporary” hosts?

.

Showbiz psychologist Randy Dellosa (photo) says that Willie can, since the show’s format of giving cash to studio contestants will continue to attract viewers. In other words, it’s not so much the host, but the show’s format that brings in the crowd.

.

Dellosa offers some tips. "Instead of dole-outs, which can feed people for a day or two, Willie can give out things that could last them a lifetime. These include scholarships, technical training, start-up capital for a business, etc. There are people who look up to Willie as a role model. By giving them long-term solutions to their problems, Willie can enhance his image by leaps and bounds.”

.

Good suggestion not only for Willie but for other big stars. The key word is Sharing.

.

In fact, Dellosa thinks this is what network talent centers need these days: A values and virtues formation program that will teach the stars how to handle success.

.

“Virtues focus on the good of others. Most talent centers zero in on image building, on how stars project themselves to others,” he explains. “Virtues formation will train stars to look at the non-material side of things. It will train them to be content with what they have and feel grateful for their blessings. With virtues-formation, there will be less monsters and ugly scandals in the business. And when stars put their act together like so, more and more people will look up to them. More and more people would like to see these stars — on TV, film, commercials and in live events.

.

And what they give will come back to them — a thousandfold.”
