Before she entered the house, Kuya called her to the confession room where she was presented with two framed cross stitched artworks made by the housemates.

She was given the task to choose which artwork was better.

Decision did not come hard for Katlin when she looked at both artworks closely for a few seconds then eventually chose House A's masterpiece.

Little did she know that her decision would mean she would be staying in House A and that it was also the first ever win of the House A housemates of their weekly task.

Screams and applause greeted Katlin as she entered House A with the framed artwork in hand.

For this week, House A finally got 100 percent of its weekly budget. This means that for Katlin's stay, there will enough supply of food.

When Katlin was interviewed on The Buzz Sunday, she admitted to have had no idea of the Philippines before the swap.

"When Big Brother asked me, 'Do you know where the Philippines is?' I said, 'I think it's near Greenland?" Katlin said with a laugh.

Before Katlin entered the PBB premises, no one knew even the Finland housemate where she will stay.

Cathy, meanwhile, arrived in the Big Brother house in Finland Sunday.

Accompanied by PBB Executive Director Laurenti Dyogi, Cathy officially entered the house Monday.

Her first day in Finland was met with a challenge. When they made a stopover in Bangkok, Thailand, her luggage was left behind.

Now in Finland, she would have to make do with the clothes on her back for the meantime with the cold weather in the country at this time.

If there was a swap, there is also an impending eviction.

Nominated for eviction from House B are Patrick Villanueva of Baguio, Tom Mott (Samar), and Mariel Sorino (Davao).

From House A, the nominated housemates were Delio Dimaculangan (Batangas) and Jason Francisco (Tondo).

Earlier, Yhel Punzalan has been forced evicted out of the PBB house due to repeated violations of talking about the nominations, which is strictly prohibited.

The forced eviction saved last week's nominees. (Angela Casauay/Sunnex)
