 where around 10,000 people attended. Show director Lauren Dyogi said the turnout at the Mall of Asia audition was the largest in the show's history. Other auditions were held at several key cities in the Philippines from March to July 2011, plus overseas auditions in Tokyo and Los Angeles. The total number of aspirants for the season, as claimed by the show, was 30,789. A total of 37 housemates entered for this season; fourteen on opening night, with one coming from the 30 reserved housemates for this season, fifteen on Day 8, six on Day 15, and two on Days 23 and 25.

Before the premiere program, a special weekday afternoon primer entitled Pinoy Big Brother: The Audition Stories started airing on October 24, 2011. It featured several participants whose audition stories caught the interest of the producers. The afternoon primer lasted until November 4, 2011. It eventually gave way to the new show, Pinoy Big Brother: UnliDay, the day main program. The said program shows the latest happenings of the Day Housemates from the Industrial House.

House theme

For the Unlimited season, the exterior of the House has been slightly tweaked to have slotted walls and minor modifications, but still keeping the yellow and blue color scheme. There are four areas: three Houses and a special area (the resort) for this season.

• Slums: The first house which was first occupied on opening night was made to look like a typical squatters' area
  Shanty town
  A shanty town is a slum settlement of impoverished people who live in improvised dwellings made from scrap materials: often plywood, corrugated metal and sheets of plastic...
  
   in many urban areas in the Philippines. This was done to let the housemates experience the same living conditions as 15 million Filipinos who live in such areas, based from a typical answer during auditions of experiencing typical Filipino life. This House was demolished on Day 22.
• Industrial House: The interior of the second House follows the regular House layout and its accompanying amenities. It is further given an "industrial" feel with steel, wooden, and brick walls. Unlike previous seasons, however, this House has no yard area.
• Luxury House: The third House is exquisitely furnished and brightly lit. Like the Industrial House, this House also has no yard area, although sunlight somehow passes through a curtain.
• Resort: This area is sophisticated with the inclusion of the pool and a jacuzzi in the beach-themed Garden area. It's used as a reward area, a task area or an area for special occasions.

Unlimited twists

• Reserved housemates - Aside from the thirteen official housemates who entered in Day 1, and an unknown number of secret housemates sequestered in a secret location, thirty short-listed housemates are given another chance to become an official housemate. A lottery is made on Day 1 to choose the sub-official housemate. On Day 15, six reserved housemates entered; three girls collectively known as the 3Gs entered the Slums while three boys collectively known as the Power Strangers entered the Industrial House. Another two male reserved housemates entered on Days 23 and 25. They will be given tasks to fulfill in order to become official housemates.
• Unli-Day/Unli-Night - Like the previous regular season, Double Up
  Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up
  Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up was the third regular season of Pinoy Big Brother, which began on October 4, 2009 on ABS-CBN. Toni Gonzaga, Mariel Rodriguez, and Bianca Gonzalez reprised their hosting duties this season...
  
  , it was announced that there would be two houses, each containing a different set of housemates. To accommodate both, a second main program will be launched and aired in the afternoons to focus on the events in the Industrial House to be hosted by Bianca; the original primetime main program hosted by Toni will continue to look into happenings in Slums (now Luxury House). The programs will be dubbed as Unli-Day and Unli-Night respectively. This only applies to weekdays; on weekends, nomination and eviction nights, and special shows, the primetime program would cover both Houses.
• House Swaps - Housemates were made to swap houses and group members as instructed by Big Brother.
• S-E Voting System - Also lifted from the previous regular season, the Save-Evict voting system gives a chance for the public to vote to save or evict a housemate. The housemate with the lowest net votes, Save and Evict votes combined, is evicted. Furthermore, voting for each house's nominees are separate yet simultaneous for every week, thus having two evictees per eviction.
• House Competitions - Big Brother brought back the House competitions from Double Up, but with a more lucrative prize. For ten weeks, the Luxury House housemates, dubbed as Team High Voltage, would compete against their counterparts in the Industrial House, known as Team Wayuk, in weekly major competitions with P150,000 at stake in each. At the end of those ten weeks, the cash accumulated by each team would be shared among the final four housemates in each House. The teams would also compete in "mini-battles" wherein the winning team would experience minor rewards.

Housemates

A total of fourteen housemates entered the House on Day 1, thirteen official housemates plus a sub-official housemate acting as a "mole

" in a task to become the fourteenth official housemate. That sub-official housemate was chosen by lottery from a pool of 30 reserved housemates. These are the auditionees who were shortlisted for the show, but did not make the official cut. How the other 29 reserved housemates would be involved will be slowly revealed as the season progresses.

All thirteen official housemates plus the sub-official "mole" housemate, chosen via random sampling, entered the House on Day 1 (October 29, 2011). A second batch of housemates entered the House on Day 8, although those assigned to the Industrial House were not physically inside until the next day. Eight reserved housemates entered on Days 15, 23 and 25. The ages indicated were the housemates' ages upon their entrance to the House.

Stay history

The figure below is the housemates' stay timeline which indicates the day they entered the house, the days spent in the house, day entered house as reserved housemate, and the day they left house.

Chronology of notable events

Below is a chronology of events, not including nomination and eviction nights. This section also lists voluntary and temporary exits, entrances of houseguests, visitors, new housemates, and other events that affected the housemates' lives inside the House. This case, October 29, 2011 is considered Day 1.

Week 1

• Day 1: Thirteen official housemates entered the Big Brother house by crawling through a hole. One sub-official housemate entered as a mole. They were set to live in the slums, similar to how 15 million Filipinos live. Paco, Slater and Luz went to the confession room and were asked to choose between the necessities of water, food and clothes as to which necessity will have an unlimited supply in exchange for a limited supply of the other two. After much deliberation, which included consideration for the others, the three chose the unlimited supply of food.
• Day 2: Big Brother gave the housemates' first weekly task. The first challenge is to create useful things from scrap, which the housemates won. The second challenge is to get a cumulative score of 540 from six singers singing the Aegis
  Aegis (band)

   machine. Jaz, Kim, Pamu, Kigoy, Kevin, and Carlo volunteered to sing, and won the challenge. Big Brother then asked the housemates to tell scary stories. Having the most scary story, Kevin was rewarded with unlimited water. Carlo was then informed with his impossible tasks. He successfully retrieved one item of clothing from Divine, Kevin and Kigoy.
• Day 3: Big Brother scared the housemates during the night with frightening noises and people dressed in costumes. The third challenge was given to the housemates wherein Luz, Tin, Seichang and Biggel had to erase the word UNLIMITED painted on a wooden bench using only sandpaper strapped on different parts of their bodies, which the housemates won. Carlo woke up in the early hours to try puncturing the housemates' water tank without anybody seeing him. Since his nails were not sharp enough, he was forced to carefully tip it over and let the tank drain itself. Kigoy and Luz had a short argument over cooking rice. Big Brother gave the housemates their fourth challenge; a basketball-shooting challenge wherein they had to shoot backwards and score 21 times out of 40. Divine was the lone scorer with one point. Big Brother gave the housemates a second chance to shoot, offering one scoop of water from a normal shot while a full container if the housemate successfully scored backwards - but cannot share the water. Only Jaz got to score backwards and took a bath using the water she won.
• Day 4: The fifth challenge was given to the housemates wherein Kigoy and Carlo had to continuously fan for 24 hours, which the housemates lost.
• Day 5: The sixth challenge was given to the housemates wherein they had to design a toy house using nails. Carlo and Luz then had to remove these nails, which they successfully finished.
• Day 6: The seventh challenge was given wherein the housemates had to complete one round riding a pedicab missing the sidecar's wheel. The housemates were unsuccessful with the challenge and hence lost their weekly task. Big Brother summoned Carlo to the Confession Room and gave him one hour to finally complete the last impossible task: finding the henna tattoos. He only got three tattoos correct, but Kigoy's was incorrect. Seeing that Carlo failed the task, Big Brother pooled the housemates and outed Carlo as the unofficial housemate by summoning him to the confession room. Carlo sought a second chance, prompting Big Brother to let the true housemates discuss the problem of whether to keep him - something that divides the group.
• Day 7: Big Brother assigned the housemates to do a rap version of "Pinoy Ako", with Biggel doing the beatbox. The housemates were also tasked to each put in one article of clothing at the confession room.

Week 2

• Day 8: Carlo was officially confirmed as a housemate upon being told that only one of the 13 housemates wanted him to leave. At the confession room, he was assigned to pick six rattan boxes containing the clothes of the other 13 housemates. The clothes belonged to Paco, Pamu, Kevin, Jaz, Seichang, and Kim, the six who first occupied the second House (which is Industrial House). Roy was later revealed to the audience as the lone dissenter. Meanwhile, fifteen new housemates entered the house and were divided. Jerico, Diane, Anatoly, Casey, Wendy, Joya and Eting were made to dip into a pool and assigned to be street urchins who will be paired up with a housemate of their choice. They cannot talk and must try to communicate with their partner housemate through non-verbal means (which is a special task for new housemates). Big Brother also tasked Slater to try making his housemates believe that he fell for Joya at first sight

  .
• Day 9: At the Industrial House, Naprey became the first of the second batch to be physically in the Industrial House and was tasked to cook breakfast while the original six were still asleep. Later, each of the six original housemates were summoned to the confession room to meet their new housemates. Kim was left shocked to see that Mark (her boyfriend) would be a housemate as well, but both of them were later ordered to keep quiet about their relationship or risk nomination. The original six housemates were told not to tell the new housemates of their entrance a week before and to pretend that they entered the same time as the other. Later the housemates were instructed to walk while crouched, the same way Naprey walks when not on his wheelchair. The success of the task resulted in Naprey being allowed to use his wheelchair. At the Slums, Eting, Joya, and Wendy decided to have an unlimited supply of food at the expense of having a limited supply of water and clothing. The Slum housemates then discussed about their heirlooms and the stories behind them. Unknown to everyone, this was just the first part of Casey's weekly task.
• Day 10: During the wee hours in the Slums, Casey performed the dance part of her weekly task as everybody slept. At the Industrial House, Kim and Mark were allowed to spend time with each other while their follow housemates were asleep. In the morning, aspects of Japanese culture arrived in the Industrial House, such as the housemates sitting on the floor while eating their breakfast using chopsticks. The weekly task note was even written in Japanese (enabling Seichang to translate it for the others) and the housemates also had to wrest their materials from two sumo

Both of them later had a serious conversation in which Kigoy was made to understand that he has to learn to be considerate of others' thoughts and feelings. Regarding Casey's secret task, Roy finally joined the nightly ritual.
• Day 11: At the Industrial House, the women dressed themselves as sumo wrestlers in padded suits. In the sumo competition that ensued, Pamu remained undefeated against the other girls. When faced against the sumo wrestlers from the day before, the girls again won against them, both in two-on-one handicap match

  es and in a one-on-one match between Pamu and one of the wrestlers. Seichang served as the referee in the matches against the sumo wrestlers. They were rewarded with a shiatsu massage while wearing blindfolds. The girl housemates were surprised to see the men doing the work after taking off their blindfolds, which irked Kim because Paco chose to massage her when Mark would have jumped at the opportunity, being his girlfriend. At the slums, Big Brother assigned the housemates to do a two-minute pole dancing routine without their feet touching the floor in exchange for a special lifestyle package (which later turned out to be an unlimited supply of water and ice cream). Slater tasked Carlo to create three paper roses for Joya and Diane to deliver them to her. In Casey's secret task, Anatoly and Slater joined her group, although Slater had his doubts. Coincidentally, after the they, Roy, and Joya finished their "ritual", Kigoy coughed while sleeping upon being touched by Casey, bringing her fears that her fabrication was becoming real (although the cough was more likely due to the nicotine

   in his body than anything supernatural).
• Day 12: In the Slums, as the last part of Casey's secret task, Big Brother specifically told her to recruit Luz and convince the latter to lift her up during the ritual. It was already made harder by the fact that the persons she recruited began to doubt her and the fact that her actions and remarks already made the rock more like a supernatural object than the lucky charm Big Brother wanted it to appear. The stress of Slater's task later forces him to quit, resulting in Big Brother giving him an automatic nomination.
• Day 13: At the Industrial House, the housemates donned school uniforms for a Japanese-language course with Seichang and Erica as instructors. They also ate sushi off a sumo wrestler lying in the living room. At the Slums, Joya was finally informed of Slater's secret task and the consequence of him quitting it. She was then given her own secret task of inviting Slater to a dinner date, which she successfully accomplished. The date would have been the final part of Slater's task to test its success.
• Day 14: Casey successfully completed her secret task despite Wendy earlier asking her housemates about reportedly seeing some housemates doing the ritual. The Slum housemates were left overjoyed that their budget relied on the success of her weekly task. At the Industrial House, Seichang confessed to Big Brother that he likes Jaz, which prompts Big Brother to assign him with giving her three compliments. The Industrial House denizens' origami task took a different turn - they had a short time to redo the origami designs they did earlier from memory and use large sheets of paper for them, with next week's budget at stake.

Week 3

• Day 15: Big Brother meted punishments on several housemates at the Industrial House. Seichang was forced to communicate using a sock puppet because of misuse of the lapel microphone. For failure to respond to the wake-up call for a third time, Pamu strapped herself onto a gurney

   visited the Houses, with Charee having a video chat with the boys of the Industrial House from inside the confession room and Eting and Wendy meeting JM blindfolded by saying the name "Angelito" correctly at the Slums. Kim and Mark also came closer to being unmasked as a couple. At night, the Slums housemates were told that their pole dancing routines were a success, enabling them to have an unlimited supply of clean water. A new batch of housemates, dubbed the 3Gs (3 Gorgeous Girls) and the Power Strangers, were inserted into the Resort and the Industrial House respectively. Because of Slater's failure in the secret task, he was assigned to convince his fellow male housemates to accept the 3Gs as official housemates, even if it would be at the expense of one of the female housemates. If even one of them would refuse, he would have to either choose which female housemate has to leave or face a forced eviction. Inside the confession room, the 3Gs analyzed each of the Slums male housemates as they took a bath, then Slater also got to see the 3Gs for the first time.
• Day 16: Upon drawing wooden swords, the Power Strangers, dressed in masks and colored jumpsuits (in the manner of Super Sentai

  teams), entered the Industrial House and were tasked to appear as likable to the housemates in order to be official housemates themselves by the end of the week. At the confession room, the Strangers each unmasked himself to Big Brother as a new face: RJ, Reg, and Kulas respectively. Meanwhile, at the Slums, the housemates had a special task under the guise of a boxing workout: to jump rope 30 times, hit a speed bag 30 times, and hit a punching bag three times, with the fastest housemates being given a chance to watch the fight

  . The slowest would carry an antenna to maintain signal quality for the entire fight. The Industrial House residents also watched the fight as well as a reward for the women winning a task to punch an array of paper bags ; they each played round girl also to maintain signal quality. One by one, Slater brought over the men to the confession room for a two-hour "outing" at the Resort with the 3Gs (Cindy, Rhea and Denisse), who were assigned to learn intimate secrets from each male housemate. They had to get to the confession room without the female housemates looking. However, the party was loud enough to reach the girls in the Slums, who realized right away where everybody else went. Biggel, who saw his first-ever swimming pool, threw up in the slums after the outing and because of his drunken stupor, told Tin his feelings for her.
• Day 17: Having cried foul over the boys' outing, the Slums' female housemates were later given a chance to frolic in the Resort with only Carlo to accompany them because of his gentlemanly conduct towards them. The 3Gs, dressed as maids, also came to the Slums to deliver kiss marks on all of the male housemates and also serve them beef steak for dinner. At the Industrial House, Big Brother assigned Erica to find out whom among the housemates were actually related to each other in some way before entering the House, with immunity from nomination at stake. She was shown pictures of her fellow housemates to determine the potential suspects. The housemates were assigned to build a tower of cards as their weekly task.
• Day 18: The Industrial housemates experienced difficulties with building a large tower of playing cards, prompting Big Brother to play a game where the housemates would pass around a card with their lips to get additional card decks. Big Brother chose Paco to help Erica in the task. Paco and Erica recalled the initial entry of the new housemates on Day 8 and determined that Kim and Mark may be who they were looking for. The housemates got wind of what is going on, forcing Kim and Mark to stay apart for the moment, but it ran into a snag when Kim uttered remarks about a special bracelet her boyfriend gave her (Mark removed it earlier) and the boyfriend's choice of cologne, which Paco discovered among Mark's personal effects. After presenting their findings at the confession room, Big Brother assigned the two to become prosecution lawyers in a trial designed to finally uncover the truth about Mark and Kim, with the other housemates as the jurors. At the Slums, the housemates were caught by surprise upon seeing a man in scuba suit bring in a remote-controlled fish-shaped balloon, prompting Big Brother to announce their weekly task. However, it didn't take an hour for the fish, which the housemates called "Fifi," to suddenly fly away from the House. The housemates were forced to make a public-service announcement for Fifi's return, offering part of their food as reward. Unknown to them, the public were also invited to find Fifi and return it to the show staff, with the chance to meet one of the Slums housemates as a reward. Because Fifi was lost on their watch, Carlo and Wendy were punished by dressing as mermaids and put in an inflatable pool for several hours, which left Carlo's legs numb overnight because of the tight tail constricting the blood flow. The male housemates also played a speed 9-ball tournament, but using various long objects in lieu of cue sticks, such as a mannequin

   leg and a police baton. The three fastest among them—Biggel, Kigoy, and Jerico—won a chance to be massaged at the Resort by the 3Gs, who were also tasked to have their charges talk about their love stories and also get a souvenir from each of them.
• Day 19: In the Industrial House, Seichang made a sacrifice by acting like a baby to help the housemates acquire a platform for the tower, with Jaz becoming his nursemaid. Kim was distraught seeing Mark flirt around with Lyn just when the trial was close at hand. Erica and Paco finally presented their case, as well as their evidence, to prove Kim and Mark's relationship, forcing the latter two to insist on the contrary. The other housemates, acting as jury, sided with Erica and Paco with Big Brother confirming their suspicions. With their relationship finally known to the others, Mark and Kim were given the automatic nomination. In turn, Paco and Erica were granted immunity from nomination for the success of their task, but Erica later gave up immunity so she could talk with her daughter through webcam ahead of the latter's birthday. The 3Gs appeared at the Slums once again, this time in front of both male and female housemates. The 3Gs' presence made the female housemates uncomfortable, while the male housemates planned a special birthday program for Rhea. Production staff also came and set up a queen-size bed for the 3Gs, who will sleep in the Slums. When asked by Big Brother about the secret task assigned to him, Slater said he is still committed but expressed fears of eviction. After the birthday program, Big Brother consulted the male housemates, who all agreed to accept the 3Gs as official housemates, based on their analysis of having socialized with them for the past few days. However, he announced that three of the current female housemates will have to leave in exchange for the 3Gs. The male housemates immediately huddled and analyzed the potential "weakest links."
• Day 20: After cooking breakfast at the Industrial House and amusing the housemates, the Power Strangers were put on the voting gauntlet with the housemates voting using ears of corn hung on their necks. Kulas, the Blue Stranger, received seven ears against Reg with six and RJ with one. He was told to finally unmask himself in front of the housemates, ending his stint in the House. The remaining Power Strangers played a special card consequence game. Lordwin and Unad were given a secret task to see the unmasked face of one of the remaining Power Strangers using a camera picture as proof. RJ, the Green Stranger, agreed to have his picture taken without his mask, but Lordwin and Unad's success was nulled by the fact that they explicitly told RJ of the task when told not to by Big Brother. Pamu saw RJ going to bed without the mask. At the Slums, Biggel was given a special task to shoot ping-pong balls into plastic cups patterned after the number 16, which will give Tin a chance to have unlimited text messaging with her father Alvin

   for a set number of minutes. Biggel and Divine scored 12. The housemates also went to the Resort again while Biggel was left behind at the confession room. As it turned out, he got a chance to meet Tin's basketball star father at the Slums for a one-on-one session in honor of the latter's 45th birthday, during which they talked about Biggel's feelings for Tin. The housemates returned and Tin knew her father visited by the size of his shoeprints on the ground.
• Day 21: In the Industrial House, due to Pamu seeing the Green Stranger unmasked, Big Brother was forced to make RJ reveal himself to the housemates before being evicted in tears. Since Reg the Red Stranger was also in tears at possibly not making it in as well, the housemates made him undergo initiation rites to be finally confirmed as an official housemate. The housemates also tried one last push to complete their card tower, but it fell just after the countdown clock lapsed. In the Slums, the male housemates confirmed to Big Brother and the female housemates their consensus—under the guise of a vote—that Diane, Wendy, and Joya will have to leave the Slums in exchange for the 3Gs coming in—which did not sit well with everybody. The 3Gs, who watched the event from the confession room, were left distraught by what happened, but were told that only one of them would be an official housemate (with the Slums female housemates deciding on their fate). Diane, Wendy, and Joya were transferred to the Luxury House.

Week 4

• Day 22: Jaz and Seichang were ordered by Big Brother to pack up and leave the Industrial House immediately. Despite Seichang's misgivings about actually leaving the House altogether, the two slipped away through a secret tunnel leading to the Luxury House. The two met Diane, Wendy, and Joya, then Big Brother asked the five of them to dress well for a special feast. The female official housemates from the Slums ruled that Deniesse has to be an official housemate (two out of four votes). In the afternoon, the remaining housemates in the Slums were forcibly herded to a dump truck with all their belongings as the place was demolished. The group were later put at the Luxury House and were reunited with the other five housemates in a cocktail party

  . Since some of the housemates lost clothes during the transfer, Carlo lent some of his own clothes for the party. Divine and Kigoy got into a short disagreement over the food upon arriving in the house, which prompted Tol to talk to Kigoy about his manners and for Divine to raise her concerns about him with Slater during the party. At the Industrial House, Pamu got ideas about Jaz and Seichi's sudden departure. They also entered the Resort for the very first time. Lordwin and Unad were forced to wear special shorts with very prominent fake butt pieces because the other housemates complained about their frequent farting. They also apologized for their behaviour. The housemates were also visited by Ryan (a reserved housemate), a dance instructor brought over in a balikbayan box from the US for their weekly task (see below).
• Day 23: The Luxury House residents saw special chairs arranged at the dining table with pictures of each housemate. They also learned that a family successfully recovered Fifi, with a picture as proof. Biggel and Tin received two members of the family at the confession room, where they rewarded the family with special shirts from the show signed by all the Luxury House residents, a basket containing the food offered by the housemates as reward, and their own Fifi toy. The fallout from the nomination gets on Kigoy's nerves to the point that he breaks a plate by accident. Tol and Big Brother console him over the fact that he has never been in such opulent settings. Meanwhile, at the Industrial House, the nominations also left the housemates uneasy, especially automatic nominees Mark and Kim, and Lordwin, who expressed fears about going back to his old life if he does get evicted.
• Day 24: At the Industrial House, Big Brother announced the launch of "Gender Wars," a series of challenges pitting the male housemates against the women , with group immunity at stake. The first challenge was a bathing game where each housemate has to use one large soap bar and be lathered in a large plastic tub. Since there were too many men, Ryan sat out the challenge and became the referee. The boys won the challenge because they used much of their soap. Pamu and Reg were individually assigned to recruit their housemates in pulling off as many practical jokes on the other group. Pamu's plan to use vinegar as massage oil for her first practical joke eventually fell apart as the male housemates get wind of the smell, forcing Paco to interrogate her why she mixed vinegar with the massage oil and for the guys to plan their counterstrikes. Because Pamu was stressed out at the task with none of her teammates joining in, Big Brother allowed her and Reg to explain everything to the housemates. Big Brother confirmed that the boys won the game, having pulled off two pranks (out of six they planned) against Pamu's first prank. At the Luxury House, Seichang was sent to the confession room to see Sadako, who will be his date for the night. He and Jaz also spent 45 minutes at the Resort as a reward for being out of anyone's sight for the same period during their transfer from the Industrial House and before Joya chanced upon Jaz at the Luxury House. Because he has been putting his arm around Tin's shoulder too often, Big Brother ordered Biggel to keep his distance and tuck two small basketballs under his arms. The housemates also talked to him about being too close to Tin and making her uncomfortable. Divine made some homemade ice cream and Big Brother provided the ingredients to have Biggel make it himself. Luz was assigned a new secret task: a reserved housemate named Seth will enter the house and she must pose as his wife. Since they also saw Seth during the show's US auditions, Tol, Deniesse, and Carlo were ordered not to talk about him at all (due to show confidentiality rules on the audition process). Wendy also discussed her adherence to Islam and her thoughts about Islamophobia
  Islamophobia

  , a prayer book and mat, and a compass to help her orient with Mecca during her prayers.
• Day 25: The Industrial House housemates were assigned to create an instrumental version of Pinoy Ako using readily available objects in the house, with Paco acting as their maestro. Lyn became the female housemates' leader for the third Gender Wars battle, a boating race wherein a certain housemate will be the "boat" by being wrapped in bubble wrap and each of the other housemates will have to ride the "boat" to the other side. Lyn confessed to Big Brother her reservations over the task - she had never been in a leadership position all her life. The girls eventually won the race, but lost in a solo swimming run between Mark and Lyn - something which irks Steph, who implied that Lyn was making the team lose because she chose a stronger opponent. The next challenge was a debate as to whether men or women are the stronger sex, with Paco as the arbiter. However, Kevin's case on women being plastik (a play on plastic; Tagalog slang for duplicitous), as in plastic surgery and augmentation, later made Erica cry, having gone under the knife herself and still suffering the effects years later. Big Brother said some visitors will evaluate the debate before deciding on a winner. The Luxury House residents resumed their task of taking care of Fifi, but those who are at the controls must wear goggles and flippers. Seth, a tall American man who is also a reserved housemate, entered the house as well.
• Day 26: The Industrial Housemates dressed up in warrior outfits for a Gender Wars theme cheerdance competition. Since they were on limited supplies for failing the previous weekly task, Big Brother surprised them with a feast of roasted chicken as reward for a shouting task. At the Luxury House, Seth asked Luz to join him in a voluntary exit and Luz tried to convince her housemates to make him stay. Both housemates finally came clean about their task and Seth was confirmed as an official housemate. Tol benefited from the secret task by having a 100-second audio conversation with his children. Biggel succeeded in his task to make some homemade ice cream for Big Brother and was allowed to take off the balls under his arms. He was ordered to make an additional batch for the housemates to finally put his arm around Tin again. Big Brother introduced "Sharky," a remote-controlled shark balloon, with a man in scuba suit at the controls as Carlo and Kigoy tried to get Fifi away from the intruder. The four Luxury House nominees for the week were assigned to mimic various objects around the house, with Kigoy as a dining room chair, Tol as a mop, Diane as a dog statue, and Slater as a smiley-face throw pillow. Big Brother held a special reenactment play with the housemates acting out his narrations, which resulted in the four nominees finally taking off their costumes.
• Day 27: Divine created a matching series of tattoos on the backs of Kigoy and Casey - people she is not even close with at all - and Carlo. At the Industrial House, Lordwin and Unad were assigned to keep a special women's medallion as part of another Gender Wars challenge, but the girls eventually stole it, with the score now at 3-2 still in the boys' favor; their reward was to pick one of the male housemates and absorb him into their team. Knowing that his skills would be an advantage, the girls chose Paco, who was made to dress like a girl. With the failure of previous tasks assigned to him and punishments, Lordwin expressed resignation as to his stay in the House. The final Gender Wars challenge went underway, wherein both teams will have to assemble picture puzzles of housemates who uttered certain quotes. The girls won the game, 4-2, with the series now tied at 3-3. They also continued with practicing the dance task but Naprey's pressure to sync with the dancers prompts Ryan to help him.
• Day 28: At the Luxury House, the housemates held one last feast for the nominees, as a reward for their finishing of the narration task. Diane also requested fruit salad as part of the menu. At the Industrial House, the housemates finally pushed through with their weekly task, with some of them providing the background music. Big Brother also confirmed the final result of the Gender Wars debate, which was voted through a post on the show's official Facebook page. The girls won the debate on a 2,436-886 vote, thereby declaring them winners of the challenge and earning group immunity. Lyn chose Kevin and Lordwin to join them in a victory party at the Resort while those left behind were ordered to clean the entire Industrial House.

Week 5

• Day 29: Due to the success of his week-long weight loss task, Tol was allowed to spend 100 seconds with his daughters in a taxi cab. He also gave them seven chocolate bars and seven lollipops to represent the seven pounds he shed during the said task. The housemates at both Houses were left devastated by the evictions of Diane and Lordwin.
• Day 30: The housemates of each House were tasked to form a team name and logo for each. Thus, Team High Voltage and Team Wayuk were formed in the Luxury and Industrial House, respectively. Before the broadcast, Tin talked to Roy, Carlo, Jaz and Wendy about Biggel's repeated lurking around her, which she admitted was getting on her nerves too much. They all recommended that Tin spend more time with the girls and give Biggel a wide berth. Later that night, Big Brother revealed to both Houses the existence of the other house, as well as the House Competitions. He also added that due to unequal numbers, two High-Voltage members would have to move to the Industrial House to be with Team Wayuk at an appointed time. Ryan was declared a housemate.
• Day 31: At the Luxury House, Big Brother announced that the Industrial House residents will choose among them who will be transferred. Kigoy, Tol, Deniesse, Carlo, Jaz, Divine, Luz and Seichang went to the Industrial House confession room for a five-minute interview session with Unad, Mark, Steph, Jessica, and Lyn. The gravity of the impending transfer is too much on everybody, with Biggel crying about what it could mean to him with his closest friend - Carlo - crossing the fence. In the end, the Industrial housemates chose Seichang (due to his familiarity and closeness with them) and Luz, who was given a warm welcome. At the Luxury House, the housemates were assigned their weekly task. The first distraction came in the form of a DJ from a local radio station

   providing color commentary about the housemates over dinner, but Biggel could barely keep his cool under the DJ's heckling, especially when Tin is brought up. A chicken the housemates once took care of at the Slums also appeared. Jaz made a voluntary exit during the nomination broadcast. Deniesse, Carlo, and Divine sported immunity necklaces for winning a Head of Household competition where they had maneuver Fifi through an obstacle course. Carlo and Divine later became the arbiter in a serious conversation between Biggel and Tin to finally make him understand that they are only just friends.
• Day 32: Luz talked with Big Brother about feeling uneasy at the sudden change in atmosphere inside the Industrial House while Seichang admits he missed Pamu. The housemates on both houses were given their weekly task. Seichang, Pamu Unad, and Lyn went to the confession room for another session with Big Brother, with their first distraction close by - a blind barber tending to them separately. Two men sporting tinikling

   (in mask) sat at the barber's chair. The team failed in ignoring Zanjoe because he was active inside the house, even taking one end of the jump rope from Naprey. Voting for the Industrial House nominees was stopped because of a housemate being meted a forced eviction. The forced evictee was later revealed to be Reg, who talked with Mark and Luz about events before coming in as a Power Stranger and was also caught without his lapel mike on several times. At the Luxury House, Wendy and Eting were sent to the confession room on separate occasions, where they sat on a chair that had soft-boiled eggs and ice cubes. Carlo, Deniesse, and Divine were summoned as well, but Carlo and Divine noticed that the chair was no longer there even if they were ordered to sit, therefore failing part of their weekly task. Big Brother announced their first inter-House minor battle, a language-proficiency competition where those who are fluent in English must speak in Tagalog and Tagalog-speakers should talk in English over a round of tongue twisters, declamation, and guessing a word to use in a sentence. A week's stay at the Resort will be at stake. For High-Voltage, Deniesse coached English speakers Divine and Carlo, who were paired off against Kevin and Seichang with Mark as coach. Seth will coach Eting and Biggel in speaking English against Lyn and Pamu with Naprey as mentor. Tension erupted again between Divine and Kigoy because his loud reading of a book disrupted their practice. Wayuk won the tongue-twister battle and High-Voltage won the declamation round, triggering a sudden-death fight in the charades game, which Wayuk won.
• Day 33: A folder containing information on all Team High-Voltage members was left at a table in the Industrial House, but Paco and Kim took notice of it for a short moment. Jessica's dog, Lily, was also put on the other side of a grating where Pamu, Seichang, Mark and Lordwin were locked up weeks before for sleeping past the wake-up call. Ryan and Luz were sent to the confession room, where someone cleaned his feet. Erica's concerns about the side-effects of her breast implants prompted Big Brother to send over a general surgeon to check on them. The doctor attested that the implants do not hamper Erica's overall conditions. A long line of catering trays full of food was left at the Luxury House dining room for breakfast and Roy later confessed that seeing the trays was torture on all of them. Wendy's boyfriend also came over to clean the house and she talked to the housemates about him without actually directing it at him. The Luxury housemates went to the Resort for an hour, with a tourist in scuba suit waiting for them at the pool. Paco later entered the Luxury House as a clown but still got the cold shoulder even as a former housemate. Some of Tin's dogs were sent inside the house as another distraction, with her Labrador, Prada, inside the confession room. The canines' presence also irked Wendy. With the announcement of the first major battle, Carlo and Divine screened for six people who could work together in creating the routine, eventually choosing Seth, Tin, Jerico, Eting, Roy, and Slater. Kigoy is angry about Divine allegedly excluding him.

Granted immunity

Immunity (reality television)

Immunity in reality television is a concept that is widely used in weekly elimination-type reality television shows by which a contestant participating in such a show may not be "kicked off" or eliminated from competition in a particular time period...

 (due to a successful completion of a "Secret Task", a challenge winner.)

Head of Household

Notes:
: Carlo is the first of the reserved housemates to be given the chance to enter the house. As he was not able to complete the four tasks assigned to him, Big Brother asked the official housemates to decide for Carlo's chance to stay, giving him a status to become an official one. He received the 12 votes out of 13 to stay and was therefore declared an official housemate.

: The Power Strangers were put on the voting gauntlet with the housemates voting using ears of corn hung on their necks. Kulas, the Blue Stranger, received most number of ears and therefore, was evicted from the house. Subsequently, RJ and Reg are tasked to conceal their faces until they become an official housemate, otherwise, they get forced eviction. However, Lordwin and Unad are tasked to unmask and take a picture of them. Lordwin successfully took a picture of RJ, which cost RJ's chance of becoming an official housemate.

: Big Brother told 3Gs that only one of them would be an official housemate. With the Slums female housemates deciding on their fate, Deniesse has been an official housemate. She received most of the votes, 2 out of 4, to stay.

: Slater declined to continue his task to make Joya believe he was in love with her, making Big Brother fulfill his promise of giving him an automatic nomination if he declines or fails. Kim and Mark's secret relationship is revealed through a mock trial session, thus, being given automatic nomination. Paco and Erica were given immunity for successfully doing their part as jurors but Erica later gave up her immunity. Jaz and Seichang had undergone nominations in the Industrial House before transferring to the Luxury House, therefore, being exempted from nominations there.
