Twins No More

JP was not granted his indefinite leave at work as a call center agent which forced him to leave the PBB house leaving his twin brother JM to do the task given by Big Brother to them and twin brothers Kenny and Toffi.

Unfortunately, Princess discovered that Kenny had a twin when she unknowingly entered the shower room which was declared restricted.

This saddened a lot of viewers who were expecting the twins to stay in the house longer.

For the next twist, Kuya informed Tom and Melissa that there are two PBB houses and that they were going to switch places.

PBB Double Up is shown weekdays every pm right after.

Why Double Up?

It was explained in the Magical Reveal that Pinoy Big Brother has two houses and the housemates have been separated into two groups. The housemates are not aware that there are two houses. PBB also has two pair of identical twins (JP/JM and Toffi/Kenny) who has been tasked by Kuya to live in separate PBB house and they should not reveal that they have a twin brother because they will be switched later. They should also keep it a secret that there are two PBB houses.
