The Big Swap begins: Cathy lands in Finland as Katlin is welcomed inside the PBB House
BB Finland, meet Cathy! At 4 a.m., Sunday, which is around 12:30 nn Manila time, Cathy finally sets foot in Finland. Escorted by none other but PBB’s head honcho, Direk Laurenti Dyogi, she headed to Espoo, the site of Finland’s Big Brother house. She arrived to a near-empty city, Sunday being a holiday of sorts. Cathy breathed in the cool air as she sent her warm greetings from beside the train tracks. Before even stepping inside the Big Brother house, Cathy already had a challenge to face. As fate would have it, all her luggage was accidentally left behind in Bangkok, which meant that she would start her first day with literally just the clothes on her back! How she would deal with this setback, especially with the extreme cold that comes with the winter season, is just one of the things to watch out for.
Meanwhile, back in Manila, Katlin was also welcomed into the PBB House. The blonde housemate from BB Finland was ushered into the confession room for her first exchange with Kuya. After a short welcome speech, Kuya presented Katlin with the two cross-stitch artworks of the two houses. Though unfinished, the results of this week’s task had the traditional “Mabuhay!” greeting stitched on them. For her first task, Katlin was made to pick which among the two she liked better. Little did she know that her choice would decide two major things: which house she would belong to and which team would win 100% of the week’s budget. She looked at both works briefly, and decided to go with House A’s project, primarily because of the colorful threads. Kuya then tasked her to carry the chosen cross-stitch into House A, her temporary residence. Katlin was welcomed with shouts, cheers and hugs by the housemates. Not only were they ecstatic to play host to Katlin, but her entry signified that at long last, their team achieved what seemed to be forever sliding out of their grasp: winning the weekly task! For the new House A team, they regained more than 100% weekly budget. They regained pride and the drive to get back in the game. Katlin, the one who made it possible, was then led to the pool area, which they decorated to simulate the feel of a beach party. To welcome her, the housemates presented her with white roses and surrounded her VIP seat with candles. Will she feel as welcome in the coming days, or would she wish herself back in the the familiar BB Finland?
What surprises are in store for the swapped housemates? Will Cathy and Katlin be able to adjust to their new housemates? How will their new family relate to them? Both have just entered their temporary homes. Stay tuned and keep updated!
