Underdog Image Helped Ejay Win

Sunstar Cebu/Roger Serna: EAT your heart out, guardian John (whatever his family name is, I’m not a bit interested now as before), father of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Teen Edition Plus ex-housemate Kevin.

As I said last week, with John’s haughtiness (could be driven by envy?), looking down on Ejay Falcon during the time when the guardians, house players and the evicted housemates acted as members of the council, he has unwittingly endorsed Ejay’s “candidacy” for the big winner slot.

Despite having a Filipina wife, John still hasn’t realized that Filipinos love to support and cuddle underdogs, the downtrodden, the marginalized.

On the other hand, if John merely followed a “script” provided to him, the “scriptwriter” has succeeded in striking a delicate chord in the hearts of the Filipino viewers as they went out of their way to cast their votes on Ejay in the last stretch of the reality show.

And, as they say, the rest is history.
