Robert James Reid is the Big Winner of Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Clash 2010.
James first entered on Day 23 as part of the Teenternationals twist, wherein a group of foreign-born teens in the Philippines joined the season and competed against Team Pinoy, the remaining original teen housemates. He resided in the Apartment with his fellow Teenternational housemates. James was a shy and introverted housemate among a diverse group of teens. As he stayed longer and mingled with fellow Teenternationals, he gradually formed close relationships and befriended most of them. James became particularly close with Visayan-speaking American Bret Jackson and goofy Korean Ryan Bang, with the former connecting due to a similar interest in music. Due to his under-the-radar nature, he managed to avoid nominations.
Throughout the season, James became known for his laid-back charm, natural nonchalance, and reserved nature. He survived to reach the second merge of the season, where the remaining Pinoy and Teenternational housemates lived at the Villa. Later, he almost was eliminated due to emergency health concerns but was cleared by the hospital to return to the house, although he had to wear an oxygen tube connected to an oxygen tank for a week until Day 60.
Eventually, James secured a spot in the season's Big Six and reached the Big Night finale, where he and Ryan were the final two. After earning 179,294 SMS votes, or 19.75% of the total votes, James stood victorious and clinched the Big Winner title and received the grand prize package that was included in it.

James was in the midst of studying when he and his father moved to the Philippines. He initially went to a regular high school, but he had a difficult time adjusting academically so his Australian father moved him to a distance-learning center. Because of his mestizo looks, many adored James but still, there are times that he lacks confidence in himself. And those are the times when he needed to speak in front of many people. Whenever he needs to speak in front of people, he often gets a mental block and fails to speak a word.
James made many friends, but is it enough for this friendly boy to adjust inside Big Brother's house, or is it like her studies that he needs special attention?
