They were fortunate that all doors and windows were open, allowing much of the gas to escape outdoors, significantly reducing the explosion's impact.

My personal opinion: I've been reading comments saying it is "unfair" for the ex-housemates to have the power to choose a duo to be in the Big Four because they have their own biases. The thing is, as human beings, we all have biases and our preferences are based on our values, beliefs, instincts, experiences.
Having said that, for me, ang pagiging deserving sa Big Four is way more than just pagpapakatotoo. It is equally, pakikipag-kapwa tao. Not just "pakikisama" but the humanity they showed to each other through the highs and the lows inside the house. And this is something ONLY those in that house have deeply felt and truly know. Sila sila lang ang nakakaalam ng totoong dynamic sa loob ng bahay, and for me, as a former housemate, how you treat others inside the house is just as important as what you did inside the house.
I believe the ex-housemates are very much qualified to choose one duo to earn a spot in the Big Four. ππ½
