Did Klarisse De Guzman get upset at River Joseph for nominating her? Ex-housemate answers
Klarisse De Guzman and her duo Shuvee Etrata's (ShuKla) eviction from "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," was perhaps one of the most surprising moments of this season. The duo received the lowest percentage of votes to save—31.50%—falling just 0.17% short of AZ Martinez and River Joseph's (AzVer) 31.67%. ShuKla was nominated by AzVer for three points, with River citing their past misunderstandings and AZ pointing to Shuvee's comments about the outside world. Now that the season has ended, Klarisse addressed in a vlog with Vice Ganda whether she ever got upset with River for nominating her. "Hindi naman [ako na-off]. Kasi lahat naman kami meme, boboto," Klarisse said. Vice also asked Klarisse if she also got upset on River's reason for nominating their duo. "Siguro 'yung ano lang, parang nung nalaman ko, kasi may pointers kami. Isa din naman 'yung sinabi ko sa house, nung nag-house challenger kami, 'yung parang ako 'yung laging niyang ninominate," she answered. But all is well now between Klarisse and River, as the songstress said that the two of them have already talked. "Wala naman na 'yon," Klarisse said. The former PBB housemate also described River as a kind person when she first met him. "Mabait si River. Actually, siya 'yung una kong nasabi na ang bait naman nito. Guwapo na, mabait pa," Klarisse said of River. AZ and River were named fourth big placers of "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition." The pair of Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca (BreKa) is the Big Winner duo. Meanwhile, Will Ashley and his duo Ralph De Leon (RaWi) were named as the second big placers of PBB Collab. Charlie Fleming and Esnyr (ChaRes) were the third big placers. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News

AZ Martinez on RAWR, friends at 'end of the table': 'I wouldn't be here without them'
For AZ Martinez, her "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" journey is unfathomable without the core friends she made inside Bahay ni Kuya. On "Unang Hirit" on Wednesday, AZ and her final duo River Joseph were asked about their "what if" in the show. AZ answered, "What if wala 'yung core group ko? I don't think I'll make it. I don't think I'll be able to make it without 'yung people sa end of the table, 'yung RAWR... and of course, 'yung AzVer." The people at the "end of the table" refer to the housemates that AZ sat with routinely during meals at the dining table: River, Ralph De Leon, Kira Balinger, Josh Ford, Michael Sager, and Emilio Daez, among others. RAWR meanwhile refer to Ralph, AZ, Will Ashley, and River. The four formed a close bond during their stay in Bahay ni Kuya, and it blossomed further during the later parts of the show. AZ's core friends also include the "book club," which comprises of Kira, Josh, AC Bonifacio, and Charlie Fleming. "What if wala sila?" AZ said. "I know I wouldn't be here without them." "Sila 'yung strength ko, isa sila sa reason kung bakit din ako lumabalan and they're my family na talaga," she added. River meanwhile recalled that he had been up for eviction in the first round of nominations, and wondered what his life would have been like had he been sent packing so early. AZ and River (AzVer) became final duos after a series of challenging tasks. AZ eventually picked River as her final duo, and River happily accepted. They were named as the fourth big placers during the Big Night held on July 5 at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City. Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca (Breka) were named the Big Winner. Ralph De Leon and Will Ashley (RaWi) placed second, while Charlie Fleming and Esnyr placed third. —JCB, GMA Integrated News

AZ Martinez, River Joseph react to 'Beg Winner' tag
AZ Martinez and River Joseph gave their reaction to the "Beg Winner" tag given to them by some "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition" viewers. On Wednesday's episode of the reality series, Boy Abunda challenged the Big Four duos to face the opinions of the outside world about them. For AzVer, he told them: "Tila mas nababagay daw sa inyo ang titulong Beg Winner rather than Big Winner dahil sa madalas n'yong pag iyak at pagiging overly emotional." AZ and River said they were just showing who they really are and how they really feel. "If being emotional affects other people, that's us being us. That's our true selves," AZ said. "And if people don't accept that, then that's OK. As long as alam namin naging totoo talaga kami at nasa puso talaga namin 'yung totoo." "If we were emotional, if we were weak, that's what we were really feeling that time. That's us being real. That's us not hiding whatever we felt. And it's OK to be emotional," River added. River also defended AZ from comments labeling her as "manipulative" and "backstabber." "I personally never saw AZ as someone who is manipulative. AZ always says that she's someone who thinks a lot, who contemplates on her thoughts a lot, and sa pagiging backstabber, I think that's just her trying to clarify those thoughts to other people and to express what she's feeling inside," he said. "But eventually, she will tell that person that she's having a problem with, straight to their face and talk about what their problem is and have that conversation with them and try to fix it afterwards," he added. AZ later defended River over allegations saying that he's talentless and only made it to showbiz because he is rich and has connections. "Ako I believe River did all the these through hard work. He went through the process of auditioning," she said. "I don't think it's from connections or anything, it's because of his talent talaga. Sobrang talented niya dito sa loob ng bahay, napapakita niya talaga," she said. "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" airs new episodes on GMA Network Mondays to Saturdays at 9:35 p.m. —MGP, GMA Integrated News
