With those words, the resident psychologist of this season's "Pinoy Big Brother" tried to explain the relationship between housemates Kenzo Gutierrez and Bailey May Thomas which had netizens abuzz.
Kenzo and Bailey recently made waves online after screen shots of the two holding hands and hugging had many speculating that there could be something more than friendship between them.
"Yung mga housemates they get lonely and they want to get the affection from each other para masuportahan nila ang isa't isa. So that's one reason why they become touchy and emotional," said Dr. Randy Dellosa.
He added that being the only son of their respective families may have played a part. Dellosa said that both Kenzo and Bailey share a longing for a brother.
Dellosa also noted that the negative reaction the two have been receiving for their "bromance" might have been brought about by Filipinos not being exposed to shifting changes in "gender expectations."
"This is one way to educate na nagbabago ang gender expectations at gender roles sa culture natin ngayon. Kung dati eh ang lalaki dapat tough, rough at emotionless, ngayon we have to be in touch with both our male and female sides," he said.
Asked about the possible role of having an openly gay housemate with them inside the "PBB" house to how the boys interact with each other, Dellosa said that the other housemates are just trying "to make Ryan comfortable."
