Keanna Reeves looks back on BB Gandanghari's confession in 'Pinoy Big Brother'

BB Gandanghari's confession about her true sexuality while she was inside the "Pinoy Big Brother" house in 2006 was one of the most memorable moments on Philippine television.

On Monday's episode of "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda," Keanna Reeves, the big winner of that season, looked back on the conversation between her and BB, known back then as Rustom Padilla.

She said she thought that Rustom would be giving her a love confession, but he told her he was gay.

"Akala ko, siyempre, excited na ako noon na parang magtapat siya sa akin na gusto niya ako. Nag-expect pala, parang alam mo, 'yung reality hindi pala. Pareho pala kami ng gusto!" Keanna shared.

"Parang kinabahan na ako. Kasi siyempre, parang makakita na ako ng seryoso na relasyon. Kasi, 'di ba puro bata ang mga jowa ko."

Upon hearing the confession, Keana said reality hit her hard.

"Jusko noong na-ano siya, siyempre natauhan ako. Tapos, siyempre, hindi ko na siya puwedeng... Sinabi ko sa kanya na paglabas na sana i-delay mo muna, tayo muna, tapos saka ka na magtapat," Keanna quipped.

BB later came out as a transgender woman in 2009. She is now based in the United States and currently pursuing a degree in entertainment business management at the Los Angeles Film School.
