Franzen (born Franzen Macaraig Fajardo on April 18, 1982 in Sampaloc, Manila) is a Filipino actor, TV host, and former reality show contestant. Fajardo was evicted from the reality series Pinoy Big Brother on Day 91, November 19, 2005.
Fajardo was a contestant on the first season of Pinoy Big Brother, which aired in late 2005. [1]
Fajardo was popular with Filipino audiences because of his comedic nature. He was considered the underdog housemate, especially during the first month inside the house, and became known for habitually picking his nose and playing strip games with Jason inside the House. As the series continued, Fajardo violated numerous house rules, but despite automatic nominations, the popular vote kept him in the House. [2] His mouthing of words (lip-synching) became the last straw. [3] After much deliberation, Endemol decided on Day 86 (November 15, 2005) that Fajardo should be evicted. However, Cass decided to voluntarily exit the house in exchange for his retention. Big Brother decided to let the public choose whether Fajardo should stay or leave. The next day, however, voting was stopped and his automatic eviction was finalized after he violated the rules again.
In the years following his appearance on Big Brother, Fajardo appeared in a number of sitcoms and comedy shows, before deciding not to pursue a career in the media. [1]
In 2020, it was reported that Fajardo was running a business in Singapore. [1] [2]
Big Brother is a reality competition television franchise created by John de Mol Jr., first broadcast in the Netherlands in 1999 and subsequently syndicated internationally. The show features contestants called "housemates" or "HouseGuests" who live together in a specially constructed house that is isolated from the outside world. The name is inspired by Big Brother from George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, and the housemates are continuously monitored during their stay in the house by live television cameras as well as personal audio microphones. Throughout the course of the competition, they are voted out until only one remains and wins the cash prize.
