Hearts were certainly shattered within the FredCess fandom following the eviction of Fred Moser from Bahay Ni Kuya last Saturday, January 17, and if there was one person among the remaining housemates who was clearly affected the most, it was, of course, the other half of the ship, Princess Aliyah.
Before leaving the house, Fred left Princess with a tight, lingering hug. In the January 19 episode of "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0," viewers saw Princess’ full reaction to his departure as she immediately retreated to the girls’ bedroom, where she allowed herself to cry and release her emotions, admitting through sobs, "Wala na akong gana mag-task."
Later on in the confession room, Princess expressed that Fred’s eviction affected her on a personal level since he was one of his closest housemates. And based on their interactions in past episodes, a 'special friendship' had developed between them, although before Fred left, Princess had made it clear that they were staying in a friends-only status for now because she wanted to focus on her journey as a housemate.
"Kaunti na lang po talaga, Kuya, feeling ko bibigay na ako. But I'm trying to hold myself together at ipaalala sa akin kung bakit ako nandito," she admitted. "I'll see what happens."
Princess wasn’t the only one left heartbroken by the recent eviction, as all of them had grown close to the evicted housemates Fred and John Clifford during their time in Bahay Ni Kuya.
Fred’s fellow Kapamilya nominee that night, Miguel Vergara, opened up to Big Brother in the confession room, sharing, "I was happy, of course, for me. But I was also sad for Fred kasi, syempre, nag-usap kami noong isang gabi na pareho naming gustong mag-stay."
As for Krystal Mejes, who also survived the eviction, making it through the public voting made her feel valued, "I just feel very seen in a way that I'm loved and I hope I am loved. So I'm going to hold on to that and I'm going keep pushing kasi ang unfair para sa mga taong nagro-root at nagmamahal sa akin para po sumuko ako."
Ashley Sarmiento, who faced-off against Clifford in the Kapuso bracket, admitted that she felt guilty about surviving the eviction, saying she believed Clifford deserved to stay more, "Sa tingin ko po talaga, Kuya, mas deserve ni Clifford 'yung spot na mayroon ako ngayon kaya medyo nahirapan akong i-process 'yung resulta."
Another nominee, Heath Jornales, also expressed sadness over saying goodbye to Clifford, whom he described as one of his closest friends, "The house is going to feel really different na wala siya kasi siya po talaga 'yung nagpapatawa sa amin." Fred’s exit also hit him hard, as he considered him like a big brother and his workout buddy inside the house.
Meanwhile, the remaining housemates have formed a fresh set of groups. Catch “PBB Collab 2.0,” available online via livestreams on the PBB YouTube Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), and iWant.
