  • This House, as a teenager, Would rather grow up with the trend of 2014 Tumblr aesthetic rather than 2020's "it girl" trend

    Infoslide

    The 2014 Tumblr aesthetic is a defining internet subculture of the early-to- mid 2010s, especially among teen girls and queer youth. It is centered around curated sadness, romanticized trauma, melancholia, alienation, romantic despair and feeling that you are not in control of your own life. Some of its prominent music includes albums like “Born to die” by Lana Del Rey, “Badlands” by Halsey and “Electra Heart” by Marina and the Diamonds. In contrast, a more recent “that girl” trend centers on confidence, being the main character, ignoring the haters and “faking it until you make it”. Some of its prominent music includes “Brat” by Charli xcx, “Renaissance” by Beyonce and “Planet her” by Doja Cat.

  • This house prefers a world without the BBE (Big Brother Eviction) or "Vote to Evict" system in Pinoy Big Brother.

    Infoslide

    In Pinoy Big Brother (PBB), a popular Philippine reality TV show, housemates live together in isolation while being filmed 24/7. Viewers participate by voting in eviction processes. The "Vote to Evict" system, commonly known as BBE, was first introduced in Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up. This season used a Save-Evict voting system, where viewers could choose to either save or evict a nominated housemate, and the housemate with the lowest net votes (votes to save minus votes to evict) would be evicted. An alternative system, BBS (“Vote to Save”), allows viewers to vote only for the housemates they want to stay, often seen as a more positive and supportive approach.
