Who will be tonight's PBB Celebrity Edition 2 Big Winner?

I was fond of PBB from the very first season. I remember the daddy always scold me for staying up late just to watch it. I was pregnant then. My fondness though didn't end up voting for my fave one. Sayang ang load. LOL!

And now, the Big Night is merely hours from now. Thank God I will be able to watch it tonight. Who's your bet? I'm still kinda confused between Gaby and Ruben. I know the sympathy of the public is for Ruben, but attitude wise I go for Gaby.
