6 housemates nominated in Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up

Four housemates who are considered "veterans" in facing eviction are nominated again this week.

They are second-timers Tom Mott of Samar and Tibo Jumalon of Cagayan de Oro and the three-timers Jason Francisco of Mindoro and Carol Batay of Tondo.

And based on the previous eviction results, Jason will once again get the sympathy of most of the voters.

I never imagined that Jason will get more votes than Tom during last Sat's results because I thought Tom's fans are more "solid".

Maybe the Melason (Melai-Jason) fans got something to do with it.

Or probably Tom's supporters did not exert much effort in texting for him last week because they were too confident that Tom will be saved from eviction.

Even though Tom placed 2nd and was saved during last week's eviction (he got 22.78%), it was way too far from Jason's big percentage (51.42%).

Aside from Tom, Jason, Tibo and Carol, two housemates are nominated for the first time: Yuri Okawa of Japan and Paul Jake Castillo of Cebu.

Cathy was part of the nomination count, but she did not cast votes. After a long trip from Finland, Cathy will make her entrance later tonight.

HIGHLIGHTS:
*Only Cathy and Patria did not get a single nomination from their fellow housemates. Cathy was exempted to participate on this week's nomination process because she has yet to re-enter the house after the "Big Swap" in Finland.

*The housemates who nominated each other were: Mariel & Yuri, Mariel & Kath, Rob & Patrick, Tom & Rob, Rica & Tibo and Melisa & Tibo.

*For the fourth consecutive week, Melisa has nominated Paul Jake for (again) the same reason: Paul Jake wants to be with his girlfriend. Also for the fourth time is Yuri against Mariel.

*For the third consecutive time, Rica nominated Tibo as well as Patrick against Yuri and Yuri against time.

*Also for the third time (but non-consecutive), Tibo wants Rica out of the house.

*It's interesting to note that only Yuri has exactly the same nominees in the past three weeks: 1 point for Mariel and 2 points for Tom. Very consistent!

*Two housemates have exactly the same nominated housemates. Hermes and Rob both nominated their two male housemates: 1 point for Patrick and 2 points for Tom.

Of the 6 nominated housemates, it seems like it's either Yuri or Tibo will get the boot on Saturday.
