Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition housemate and content creator, Esnyr Ranollo bared his soul, during a lighthearted conversation with fellow housemate Klarisse De Guzman, inside the PBB house.
The conversation shedded light on the personal challenges he faces as the resident funnyman. The exchange, which aired recently through the show’s livestream, offered viewers a rare glimpse into Esnyr’s introspective side, as he unpacked his discomfort with being taken less seriously due to his comedic persona.
During the candid chat, Esnyr expressed frustration about how his role as a comedian often overshadows his humanity. Turning to Klarisse, he noted the contrast in how they are perceived by others.
“…Sayo may respect talaga kasi ate, tapos sa akin, parang alam mo ‘yun, nakakalimutan din ang age ko, nakakalimutan na tao din ako na parang nalo-lowbat din ako minsan, kahit basic respect,” he shared. The remark highlighted his longing for the same level of respect often afforded to Klarisse, a singer and the only millennial housemate this season, whose age and demeanor seem to command a different regard.
Esnyr elaborated that his unease goes beyond mere disrespect—it’s about boundaries being crossed, particularly by those closest to him.
“Sanay ako na dinodogshow ako eh, ayaw ko rin na kayo mga friends ko, parang makiki-ano rin na parang wala nang boundaries,” he explained. While he’s accustomed to being the butt of jokes, he admitted that it stings when friends, including fellow housemates, take it too far.
“Okay lang sa akin yung lait-lait, pero pag ‘yung (seryosohan) saka pisikalan-pisikalan?” he added, drawing a line at mockery that turns physical or overly serious.
The conversation took a turn as Esnyr hinted at an unaired incident involving a “light physical attack” from an unnamed housemate, which left him rattled. Though details remain under wraps pending the episode’s airing, he suggested it contributed to his growing discomfort. Reflecting on the moment, he acknowledged his own emotional state as a factor. Ivana Alawi, revealed as houseguest, notably made her emotional exit last Saturday night, leaving the housemates including Ranollo, who already developed a strong bond with her, in a fragile emotional state.
“Feeling ko naging ano lang ako, extra-sensitive lang ako kagabi, kasi ‘yun na, nag-pile up na ang mga emotions,” he said, referring to the previous night when exhaustion and pent-up feelings amplified his reaction.
Esnyr also speculated that the unnamed housemate’s actions stemmed from being overly comfortable with him—a byproduct of his approachable, comedic nature. As the self-proclaimed “son-sational viral beshie ng Davao del Sur,” Esnyr has been a standout in the house, keeping spirits high with his witty banter and playful antics alongside Klarisse, his frequent comedic partner. Yet, this exchange revealed a deeper layer to his experience, as he grapples with whether his humor invites others to overlook his need for respect and personal space.
For fans of PBB Celebrity Collab Edition, Esnyr’s vulnerability marks a poignant shift in the season’s narrative. Known for his sensational rise through quirky vlogs and memorable characters, the 23-year-old has been a vital force in uniting the Kapamilya and Kapuso housemates. However, his introspection raises questions about the toll of being the house’s comic relief. As the season progresses, viewers are left wondering how this moment will shape his dynamics with the others—and whether his call for boundaries will resonate in Kuya’s iconic yellow and blue house.
Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition airs weeknights at 10:00 PM and weekends at 6:15 PM on GMA, with streaming available on Kapamilya Online Live, Kapuso Stream, and iWantTFC.
