Overview

Main article: Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up

As part of the show's concept, Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up's Big Five housemates were told to stay in the House for a few more weeks. The series focuses on Cantiveros and Francisco, who entered into a relationship during Double Up. Over the course of the series, scripted or simulated situations would be presented to Francisco and Cantiveros.

Although the Big Five housemates are still inside the house, the Pinoy Big Brother rules were no longer put into effect. The housemates themselves would leave the house from time to time to appear in ABS-CBN's shows. The housemates are no longer in the house, as it has been used for the third Teen Edition.^[3]
