Even during the holidays, "Pinoy Big Brother Double Up" continued to dominate the ratings as viewers rushed back to their homes from shopping or took time off from parties and reunions to follow the lives of the housemates who were celebrating the holidays inside the PBB house.

Christmas may be over, but Big Brother still has some surprises to give just like the New Year-themed birthday celebration of Tibo.

For Tibo’s birthday, the housemates have to prepare a gender-bending children’s party where the girls dress up as boys and vice versa. Part of the activity is for the real girls to ask the boys to be their dates.

To do this, macho girls Kath, Rica, Melisa, Mariel, Sam and Cathy have to use some pickup lines to impress the boys who are acting as girls. Tibo, Hermes, Johan, Paul Jake, and Jason will then kiss the girls who they choose as partners on the forehead.

Meanwhile, another housemate will leave the house tomorrow. Who among Paul Jake, Sam, Rica, and Johan do you want to be evicted or to be saved? To “Vote to Save” your favorite nominated housemate via mobile, just type BBS(space)NAME OF HOUSEMATE and send to 2331 for Globe, Sun Cellular, TM and Bayan Wireless subscribers, and 231 for Smart and Talk N’ Text subscribers. To “Vote to Evict” your least liked housemate, key in BBE(space)NAME OF HOUSEMATE instead.

Join Mariel Rodriguez, Toni Gonzaga, and Bianca Gonzalez this Saturday (Jan 2) on the “PBB Eviction Night” after “MMK.” Also watch for the Live Nomination Night on Sunday (Jan 3) after “George and Cecil.”
