Pinoy Big Brother Double Up: All housemates up for eviction

"Bagyong Issa" has finally struck the Big Brother house, as all housemates will face eviction this Saturday.

After the drama of eviction night died down, Kuya asked the housemates to come in the confession room individually. It was not the typical nomination process though, as they were asked to give the names of two housemates from the other house.

They were again gathered in the living room to openly discuss their votes and reasons, after which they were given the chance to change their votes. Their reasons for nominations were either strategic or personal, and Johan, Kath, Rocky and Rica were chosen as the final bets for nomination.

For the first time in PBB history, all 15 housemates are up for eviction, no exemptions. Vote to evict is what Bagyong Issa brings, and all the housemates are hit. No one is safe, no one is held above the others. Be warned. Your vote is a vote to kick out a housemate, and not to save them.

Text BB (housemate’s name) and send it to 2331 for Globe, TM, Sun Cellular and Bayan Wireless Landline or 231 for Smart and Talk n Text. You may also vote online via www.pinoybigbrother.com/vote. Keep in mind that your vote is a vote to evict, so vote wisely.

Pinoy Big Brother Double Up: Rob evicted

Rob Stumvoll is the latest evictee in Pinoy Big Brother Double Up. The 'ladies man from Austria' got the lowest number of text votes. Rob humbly accepted his early exit from the competition, and the Fil-Austrian was welcomed back into the outside world by his mother.

Rob got (4.32%) of the total text votes among fellow nominees eviction Rica Paras (38.55%), Jason Francisco (35.81%), Carol Batay (15.11%), Patrick Villanueva (6.21%).

Emotions are truly reaching the extremes inside Kuya’s house. If last week the housemates saw themselves through typhoon 'Walay', will they be able to survive the new typhoon 'Issa' threatening to hit them this week?
