We need to build our funds, strengthen our collective efforts, and prepare for the upcoming Eviction Night. We want to do everything we can to make sure Ethan stays in the Big Brother house. We are not ready for him to come home just yet.
Whether big or small, every contribution brings us closer to having a stronger voting fund when we need it most.
Let’s not wait until eviction night to start preparing. Let’s build our funds NOW.

Whatever the results of Saturday’s voting may be, whether Ethan gets evicted or stays, I’ll continue supporting this kid. I recognize that he has his flaws, and I’ve never pretended otherwise. But seeing how his friends and family continue to stand by him, alonh with the little things he does, like genuinely helping those children (yung video na may tinulungan silang bata at pinakain nila), reinforces my belief that there’s more to him than the mistakes people are choosing to focus on.
I’ll continue supporting him bcs I know what it feels like to be misunderstood and judged as though one mistake is enough to define your entire character. People can acknowledge your shortcomings without completely dismissing your capacity to be a good persom.
And I know a lot of people here may not share my faith, and I’m not trying to impose Jesus or my beliefs on anyone. I just can’t help but bring His teachings into conversations like this because they have shaped how I see and treat people. Jesus constantly taught us about mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and extending grace to others. He reminded us not to be so quick to judge, but to approach people with understanding and humility. That’s something I genuinely try to practice. If we believe people can learn, repent, and become better, then we should also be willing to give them the grace and opportunity to do so.
I genuinely believe people are more than their worst moments. My instincts when observing people’s character have rarely failed me, and I see goodness in ethan beyond the mistakes he has made. I hope he learns from this experience, grows from it, and comes out of it as a better person. He deserves the opportunity to do that without being permanently reduced to one mistake.

But isn't that also assuming na Ethan saw those jokes the same way you did? 😅 Yes, he had the choice to shut down the banter, but he also had the choice to simply take it for what it appeared to be in that environment: PLAYFUL TEASING AMONG FRIENDS. His "star player" remark could just as easily be understood as him playing along with their running joke, NOT an ACTUAL DECLARATION na he sees Gehlee as some kind of prize or someone he's competing with the other boys for. We CAN'T AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGN a sinister meaning to every WITTY RESPONSE.
And about Gehlee not deserving that kind of friend, what EXACTLY has Ethan done to establish na he's treating her badly? HAVE WE ACTUALLY SEEN HIM PRESSURE HER, DEMAND RECIPROCATION, or MAKE HER UNCOMFORTABLE? Wala naman, diba? Kasi kung susuriin natin, napaka-NATURAL lang ng FLOW ng interactions nila. Wala rin namang ipinakitang discomfort si Gehlee or attempts to distance herself from Ethan, which would be worth considering if he were actually being pushy or forcing his way into her space.
In fact, what we've been seeing lately is the OPPOSITE. Mas nagiging comfortable na si Gehlee kay Ethan. Mas siya na rin ang nag-iinitiate ng conversations, lumalapit at tumatabi sa kanya, and even the spoon-feeding moment. Of course, these actions alone don't define the entirety of their relationship, but they do show a level of COMFORT and FAMILIARITY between them. And that's exactly why WE SHOULD DISTINGUISH Ethan's ACTUAL BEHAVIOR toward Gehlee from the ASSUMPTIONS people attach to his participation in the boys' banter. There's a DIFFERENCE between PLAYING ALONG with a joke and actually ACTING ON whatever intentions other people ASSUME he has.
Also, when I say BFF, I'm describing the DYNAMIC and COMFORT I observe between them, NOT CLAIMING they've officially declared themselves best friends after three weeks. 😂
You don't necessarily need years of knowing someone to establish a GENUINE CONNECTION. Friendship develops at different paces, especially when people are living together and constantly interacting. It's not always about how long you've known someone, but also about how naturally you build that familiarity and comfort with each other.
You can dislike the ship or find certain jokes unnecessary, that's your prerogative. But let's not confuse our interpretation of those jokes with Ethan's actual treatment of Gehlee. Those are two different things. Criticizing the context of a joke is one thing; using it to invalidate an entire friendship or condemn someone's character based on assumptions is another.
At the end of the day, I'm appreciating #ThanLee for the genuine friendship and comfort they naturally share. Anything beyond that is just a bonus. Hindi kailangang gawing competition ang connection nila, much less turn Ethan into a villain just to invalidate it. ♡
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. ♡
¦¦ Ang cute naman kasi ng mag-BFF na yan.🕷️🍊 ¦¦

istg ethan's fanbase are just a bunch of empaths.
didn't condone e's mistakes. i never once saw a delulu trying to defend him.
we're not even vicious enough to organize a hate train like they did kahit far worse itong ginagawa ng idol nila.

yk lowk i understand why he was chosen for this task, kasi hes an athlete so he knows a lot about physical endurance and strains, etc., so makakahanap siya ng different ways to do the task with minimum exertion sa housemates
