The 'Capeath' ship (as fans love to call this tandem) is finally sailing in "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0," with Heath Jornales making subtle moves to get closer to Caprice Cayetano. In Gen Z language, "ginalaw na ni Heath ang baso!"
But before we completely melt into that kilig, let’s backtrack to this week’s task. For their 7th weekly task titled “Patong Patong Na Presents,” the housemates dressed up as Christmas elves as they worked on stacking 16 gift boxes found under a Christmas tree.
One by one, they had to carry a box from the first tree, circle the second tree, then return to their starting point. Once back at the starting point, the elf would place their gift box on top of the one held by the next elf. That next elf would then repeat the same course until all 16 presents were successfully stacked. For every four gifts added to the tower, the housemates earned 25% of their weekly budget.
Aside from the main task, the four nominated housemates—Heath, Iñigo Jose, and task leaders Fred Moser and Lee Victor— were given a separate secret challenge. Each of the four nominated housemates had to perform one “good deed” for a housemate of their choice. But as Secret Elves, they could only unlock these deeds once the 8th, 10th, 12th, and 14th gift boxes had been successfully stacked during the group challenge.
For Fred, his chosen recipient was Princess Aliyah, whom he had planned to surprise with a box containing thoughtful trinkets and a handwritten note. Iñigo, meanwhile, thought of surprising Lella Ford a special dish, which he hoped would remind her of her loved ones.
Lee really wanted to make it up with Carmelle Collado by giving her a relaxing day. As for Heath, his good deed would come in the form of pancakes for Caprice.
At the start of the task, leaders Fred and Lee strategized by letting the girls carry the boxes first so they wouldn't have to deal with an already heavy stack. Lella, who went last among the female housemates, handed the pile over to Lee, the first male in line. But Lee was unable to stabilize the gift boxes, which resulted in a failed attempt and sent the team back to square one. Unfortunately, Lee continued to lose balance in his next few attempts.
With Lee and the earlier housemates already feeling exhausted, the group decided to reshuffle the lineup. The eighth box was especially important for Heath, as it would unlock his good deed for Caprice. Thankfully, with the help of his fellow housemates, they were able to reach this point successfully.
Even while in the middle of their Christmas elf duties, the housemates just had to pause for a bit of fun. Everyone teamed up to tease Caprice and Heath after their spontaneous dance showdown shown in the previous episode. Carmelle asked Heath how he felt dancing with Caprice, to which he replied, "Masaya kasi may ka-partner sa pagsayaw." But perhaps the happiest ones of all are the fans rooting hard for this ship, right? Where the Capeath shippers at?
And no, the Capeath 'ayuda' didn’t stop at the teasing, because thanks to the housemates’ successful eighth box stack, Heath finally got the green light for his good deed dedicated to Caprice.
After burning a few batches of pancakes, Heath enlisted the help of the house’s 'pancake master,' Joaquin Arce. The finished product might not be perfect but he swore it made up for it in taste and presentation. And of course, it was made with... effort!
Once the pancake was ready, Heath had one more thing to prepare: himself. After hyping himself up, he finally handed over the plate to Caprice, who appreciated the gesture and was so happy about satisfying her sweet tooth. And then Heath slid into the seat next to Caprice and shared the pancakes with her.
"Hindi lang po dahil sa special task 'yung pagbigay ko po ng pancake o 'yung good deed, it was actually a genuine thing na gusto ko pong gawin," Heath told Big Brother in the confession room. "Ngayon po, sana mas nawala 'yung wall, na minsan hindi po kami nag-uusap [ni Caprice]." Ladies and gentlemen, that's Heath "tumatapang" Jornales!
