According to Yeram, all the contestants experienced the same thing whenever they left their phone unattended. Much to their surprise after returning, they found that Gehlee had taken selfies with it!
She never missed any opportunity to have a little fun. It didn’t matter whose phone it was, she wasn’t shy to take some photos.

Borrowing a friend’s phone to take selfies is a common practice among Filipino high schoolers. Based on the contestants’ initial shock, it doesn’t seem to be the norm in other countries.
And the best thing about it is that the selfies aren’t always the most flattering. Gehlee, for example, took many pictures with the camera at a high angle. It was hilarious!
