Keanna Reeves says she didn't expect BB Gandanghari was going to make a big revelation when they were inside the 'PBB' house.
BB Gandanghari's revelation about her true sexuality when she was inside the Pinoy Big Brother house in 2006 remains one of the most unforgettable moments in Philippine television history.
On Fast Talk With Boy Abunda's March 17 episode, Keanna Reeves, the season's big winner, reminisced about her conversation with BB Gandanghari, who was then known as Rustom Padilla.
She initially thought Rustom was about to confess his love for her, but instead, he revealed that he was gay.
"Akala ko, siyempre, excited na ako noon na parang magtapat siya sa akin na gusto niya ako. Nag-expect pala! Parang alam mo, 'yung reality hindi pala, pareho pala kami ng gusto!" Keanna shared.
"Parang kinabahan na ako. Kasi siyempre, parang makakita na ako ng seryoso na relasyon. Kasi, 'di ba puro bata ang mga jowa ko."
Keanna admitted that the confession affected her deeply as reality sank in.
"Jusko noong na-ano siya, siyempre, natauhan ako. 'Tapos, siyempre, hindi ko na siya puwedeng... Sinabi ko sa kanya na paglabas na sana i-delay mo muna, tayo muna, 'tapos saka ka na magtapat," Keanna joked.
