Esnyr, Charlie Fleming defend their duo from 'paawa' comments as Boy Abunda enters house

Charlie Fleming and Esnyr defended their duo from public comments describing them as fishing for pity in order to win the competition.

On Tuesday's episode of "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," Boy Abunda entered Bahay ni Kuya and challenged the housemates to face what the outside world thinks of them.

The CharEs duo was first on the hot seat and they had 30 seconds to defend themselves.

"Sabi nila, paawa daw ang duo ninyo para makakuha ng simpatya at para manalo," Tito Boy told them.

"Siguro po Tito Boy sa paawa na sabi nila is 'yun po 'yung kami po 'yung taga probinsya, kami po ang hindi comfortable dito. For them it's paawa, but for us, it's a reality," Esnyr said.

"That is why andito po kami talaga para to show everyone na this is a reality and this is not just a card for us to pull kaya hindi po 'yun paawa," she added.

Charlie agreed.

We are really representing who we are and what we came from. We know that we're not comfortable in lives, and yes po taga probinsya kami, yes po breadwinner kami, but it's also to really raise a flag. And even if taga probinsya ka, you can have a chance here in Manila po," she said.

'Immature, playing safe'

Charlie and Esnyr also had to defend each other from comments directed to them individually.

"Some say that you are too immature at pabebe. May mga na-disappoint din sa ilang mga kilos at mga nabitawan mong salita dito sa loob ng bahay considering na ikaw pa naman ang mahilig mag-share ng Bible verses," Tito Boy said to Charlie.

Esnyr was given 30 seconds to defend Charlie, and he said they joined a reality show, not a "maturity show."

"Nung pumasok kami dito talaga gusto naming ipakita kung ano talaga 'yung kami. At I believe na pumasok kami dito sa house para mag grow at 'yun po 'yung opportunity na nabigay kay Charlie," she said.

"I admit na meron siyang mga kamalian before pero nakita ko po 'yung growth niya, 'yung respect niya sa amin, at 'yun nga 'yung sabi niya na Charlie brought me to God also," she added.

Charlie later defended Esnyr.

"Ikaw daw ay playing safe at walang empathy sa iyong mga kasama. Tahimik lang kapag nalalagay sa alanganin ang mga kaibigan," Tito Boy told Esnyr.

"When she's quiet po because of other things are happening around the house, I do believe it's because she wants to know every single side of the story. 'Cause you can't really defend a person if you really don't know the whole story," Charlie said of her duo.

The King of Talk entered the house to help the viewers get to know the Big Four days ahead of the Big Night. He did a "Fast Talk" round with the final duos and also let them duel with questions they prepared for each other.
