Parang sila yung housemates ko tuloy. Yung batch ko kasi, nag-kanya kanya na kasi. Celebrity (Edition) kasi yun so siyempre busy ang mga people di ba? So may kanya kanyang mga projects tapos yung iba nagka-asawa na tapos yung iba nasa ibang bansa,” she said.</p><p>Keanna also revealed why she thinks it was better for her and first runner-up winner John Prats to go separate paths. “Si John Prats, na-issue kami. So nag-asawa na si John Prats. Siyempre umiiwas na rin kami kasi na-issue na nga kami na may something something,” she recalled.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2024/12/14/keanna-reeves-is-now-an-entrepreneur-1847"><strong>READ: Keanna Reeves is now an entrepreneur<br/></strong></a></div><p>Among the things discussed in her Push Bets interview was also the issue that PBB was scripted. The 55-year-old comedienne turned entrepreneur explained why viewers might think that sometimes.</p><p>“Sabi nila magpakatotoo nga kasi yung iba takot na takot kahit maghawak ng baso. Yun na nga nasasabi na (parang) scripted kasi takot na takot sila ma-nominate sa loob. Conscious na sila kasi akala nila kung magiging masama sila doon sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya, na mag-react sila. Pero dapat mag-react naman kung ka-react react naman. Ayaw mo mag-react dahil baka i-vote ka. So nakikita ng tao yan na hindi ka nagpakatotoo. So hindi na reality show,” she explained.</p><p>Before she won the first Celebrity Edition, Keanna said she did not enter the reality competition with the goal to win. “Kaya ako naman, iniisip ko pagpasok ko kasi nag-enjoy lang ako kasi libre bahay, libre pagkain, ang lakas pa ng aircon. So anong hahanapin ko? Tapos makikita ka sa TV. So wala ako pakialam, at least dito masaya ako dito. Parang ganun, parang ini-enjoy ko siya. Wala nga kaming ka-makeup makeup eh. Kasi kami yung parang walang pakialam kasi pagod na kami mag-makeup. Ang dugyot dugyot namin sa loob kasi parang nasa bahay kami eh, wala kaming pakialam,” she recalled.</p><p>Looking back on her experience inside the iconic PBB house, Keanna said she has nothing but pride for making it through the entire season without wanting to voluntarily leave or be voted off.</p><p>“Proud kami kasi ang dami dami, libo libung gusto ma-experience yung Bahay ni Kuya tapos isa ka sa masuwerte na nakapasok. Kasi iba talaga sa loob eh. Akala lang nila kaya nila sa loob. Ang iba, na-stress. Nag-out yung iba eh. Hindi nila kakayanin. Akala lang nila talaga scripted. Yung iba hindi siguro nila nakanayan, na-homesick sila. Ako hindi kasi lumayas nga ako sa a amin eh (laughs). Tapos yung jowa rin hindi ko naman iniisip. Tinaguan ko nga siya eh. Pina-ban ko siya. Sabi ko kay Big Brother, ‘Big Brother pag may nagpakilala dito na jowa ko, hindi totoo yun ha. Kasi wala ako jowa.&#x27; Naka-ready na ako nun. So nung pagpasok ko sa Bahay ni Kuya, talagang prepared ako,” she shared. </p>
