<p>It&#x27;s fair to say that there&#x27;s a good number of skeptics out there who bemoan the lack authenticity in reality shows, especially in the supposed serendipitous love stories formed within them. </p><p>Some would argue that these romantic emotions are &quot;scripted,&quot; prepared way before a program begins airing, as a relatively sure-fire method to attract viewers. </p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2018/life/07/12/pbb1.jpg?ext=.jpg"/><figcaption>Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson kiss in their series, &#x27;Ikaw Lang ang Iibigin&#x27; -- one of the many shows they starred in as a love team since being paired following their stint in &#x27;PBB.&#x27; <em>ABS-CBN</em></figcaption></figure></div><p>But according to &quot;Pinoy Big Brother&quot; (PBB) big boss Lauren Dyogi, there&#x27;s very little truth to these claims. </p><p>Sure, they think up tasks to help bring out personalities of the chosen housemates ahead of time, based on the info they have about them, but they cannot &quot;impose&quot; emotions or feelings. </p><p>Audiences are too smart nowadays, Dyogi pointed out, and they would immediately notice if those feelings aren&#x27;t genuine. </p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/37ipTFgr388?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="~//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="~//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>&quot;Hindi po planado ang pagla-love team,&quot; he said in his defense in a new video blog YouTube uploaded Wednesday. &quot;Of course, we welcome them dahil isa po iyan sa mga pinapanood ng mga manonood pero we don&#x27;t plan it.&quot; </p><p>&quot;We are always hoping, somehow, but it&#x27;s never planned because we will never know. You cannot fake -- we cannot impose an emotion or a feeling on a particular housemate,&quot; he explained. </p><p>Citing Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson, he argued that they could not have predicted that the two would fall in love. </p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2018/life/07/12/pbb2.jpg?ext=.jpg"/><figcaption>Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson is one of the first love teams to be formed inside &#x27;PBB.&#x27; <em>ABS-CBN</em></figcaption></figure></div><p>He said Anderson could have developed feelings for any of the other female housemates -- as what normally happens when you force people to spend time with each other for a long time. </p><p>Dyogi also mentioned Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco, who even ended up marrying each other and having children; and among the more recent ones, Elisse Joson and Mccoy De Leon. </p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2018/life/07/12/pbb3.jpg?ext=.jpg"/><figcaption>Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco with their kids. <em>Melai and Jason&#x27;s Instagram account</em></figcaption></figure></div><p>He recalled that De Leon was not even supposed to be in last year&#x27;s &quot;Pinoy Big Brother,&quot; if not for Ronnie Alonte&#x27;s decision to back out of the chance to become a housemate. </p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/BcAX4FYhF8S/" data-instgrm-version="8" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:658px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:8px"><div style="background:#F8F8F8;line-height:0;margin-top:40px;padding:36.52777777777778% 0;text-align:center;width:100%"><div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC);display:block;height:44px;margin:0 auto -44px;position:relative;top:-22px;width:44px"> </div></div><p style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BcAX4FYhF8S/" style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by Mccoy De Leon (@hashtag_mccoydl)</a> on <time dateTime="2017-11-27T16:43:55+00:00" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px">Nov 27, 2017 at 8:43am PST</time></p></div></blockquote><div><script async="" defer="" src="https://www.instagram.com/embed.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>These small, previously unreleased details, he said, can attest to the randomness of how these wonderful, unexpected love stories are born. </p>
