Besh, actually, from what I understand, the UNNECESSARY HATE towards Ethan started to escalate because of the dinosaur thingy sa #PBBCollab3point0. It began as PLAYFUL BANTER among the boys, particularly Raheel and Anthony, involving their INSIDE JOKES about dinosaurs. They would tease Ethan about Gehlee, making comments like "my dinosaur playing the long game" and "my dinosaur losing." Ethan would also play along with the jokes, even responding with his own witty remarks.
Now, I think the problem started when some people took those playful exchanges too seriously and interpreted them as Ethan treating Gehlee like some sort of prize or competition between the boys. 🤷 Suddenly, his interactions with Gehlee since D-1 were being viewed through that narrative, as if everything he did was part of some strategy to win her over. 🤦
But here's what I think people are overlooking: banter is banter. It's a playful exchange, and participating in an inside joke doesn't automatically mean you share the intentions or implications that other people attach to it. We also have to distinguish between the boys teasing Ethan and Ethan's actual behavior towards Gehlee.
As someone who supports ThanLee, what I've consistently noticed is that Ethan has been genuinely caring towards Gehlee even before the 'dinosaur jokes' started. Their connection has always felt natural and comfortable. He's like a kuya and boy best friend to her, someone who initiates conversations, checks on her, and makes her feel included WITHOUT making it seem like she owes him the same energy in return.
And honestly, even if Ethan is just playing along with his fellow housemates' teasing, does that automatically erase all the genuine interactions we've seen between them? I don't think so. 🙅
I'm not saying people can't have concerns about certain jokes, but there's a difference between criticizing the context of a joke and attacking someone's character based on ASSUMPTIONS. We shouldn't turn every playful interaction into evidence of a bad intention, especially when we're not inside their heads.
For me, ThanLee is worth appreciating because of the FRIENDSHIP and COMFORT they NATURALLY SHARE. Anything beyond that is just a bonus. Hindi naman kailangang gawing competition ang connection nila, and definitely hindi kailangang may gawing villain just to invalidate it. ♡

Yes, Ethan clearly gets kilig whenever the boys tease him, especially when Kuya played Cianne and Gehlee’s “You and I” song and they started teasing him about Gehlee. But honestly, isn’t that a pretty normal thing among groups of boys? Kapag may tropa tayo na may crush, aasarin talaga natin yan, lalo na kapag may opportunity silang iconnect yung song sa taong gusto niya. It’s ordinary friendly banter, and Ethan is simply playing along and enjoying the moment. Why are you acting as if his every reaction is some groundbreaking offense worthy of character assassination? I’ve seen the comments, and honestly, if I were Ethan’s mother or family, I’d be heartbroken reading how cruel people are being toward him. l
Also, Ethan is nominated, and naturally, he’s going to want to fit in and get along with the boys. Makikisama sa biruan, tatawa, at sasabay sa asaran. That’s a normal social response, not some calculated attempt to disrespect Gehlee.
He may genuinely have a crush on Gehlee, but there’s a clear distinction between having feelings for someone and acting entitled to their attention. Ethan hasn’t forced himself on Gehlee, insisted that she reciprocate his feelings, or deliberately made her uncomfortable. Enjoying his friends’ teasing doesn’t automatically make him disrespectful toward her.
And YES, I strongly disagree with and condemn the misogynistic remarks made by the boys. Those comments deserve criticism, and I’m not excusing them. But we also need to distinguish problematic remarks from the ordinary dynamics of a group of boys teasing their frienf about his crush.
You cant expect people to stop having normal social interactions just because they’re being filmed. We can acknowledge problematic behavior without scrutinizing every reaction, laugh, or moment of kilig. Hold him accountable for what he actually did, not for simply enjoying a harmless moment of teasing.

it’s so endearing to me how manong is so much more engaged in the conversation ‘pag movies or songs ‘yung topic & not only with princess he really just wants to nerd out together with someone else it just so happens na pareho sila ng interests ni princess
Tama nga na ginagamit ng matandang lalaking hms yon para macontrol yung mga mas bata. Kitang kita na sila ang nag-umpisa at sila ang walang remorse pero dahil nga sabagal sa ship ay si Ethan lang naging scapegoat
And dito mo makikita na may hierarchy especially sa male housemates. Both task leaders ay nagvovoice out but sumasapaw kasi yung older male hms. Kasalanan ba na mas bata yung task leaders kaya sila naeetsupwera ng older male hms or kasalanan ng older male hms for overstepping?

Grabe, ang hands-on ni Ethan as a task leader!
"Sarap ulam mamaya, trust..."
"Pain is just an illusion, guys. Kaya 'yan!"
"Time is just an illusion..."
"Walang tatawa, please. Focus lang. Mamaya na yung biro."
HAHAHAHA
Ang encouraging at very convincing ng leadership style ni Ethan, so please sana second change huhu. You can really see how hands-on and committed he is to leading the task.
