Finally, the swap between Big Brother Finland and “Pinoy Big Brother Double Up” has begun as Finnish Katlin Laas and Filipina Cathy Remperas trade houses starting early this week.

The 22 year old Estonian born Katlin entered the PBB house last Sunday (Nov 1) where she immediately had to judge the winner of the “This is Stitch” weekly task. Katlin chose the cross stitch artwork of House A, which is made up of former House B housemates.

This is the first time Tom, Mariel, Yuri, Hermes, Patrick, and Kath won in the weekly task. Their group now enjoys a full weekly budget with new housemates Rob and Katlin, who reportedly had a mutual instant attraction with Hermes.

Meanwhile, Hermes’ other crush Cathy has also settled inside Big Brother Finland. After losing her baggage during a connecting flight, she was provided by the PBB production with some clothes and warmers since it is winter in Finland.

Cathy will have to get use to more than just the cold weather as she interacts with her liberated European housemates. It was reported how the Finnish housemates kissed one another when they got drunk inside their house.

Back in the Philippines, nominated housemates Jason, Delio, Tom, Mariel, and Patrick will also have to deal with pressure too as one of them will be evicted this Saturday (Nov 7). To vote for them, just text BB space name of housemate and send to 2331 for Globe, Sun Cellular, TM and Bayan Wireless subscribers, or 231 for Smart and Talk N’ Text subscribers.
