Pinoy Big Brother Double UP Update: New Housemate Sam Catches the Eye of the PBB Boys while House A and House B face-off again.

New housemate Sam Pinto seems to be following “Pinoy Big Brother” season 1 housemate Sam Milby’s footsteps. The 19-year old model is a heartthrob in the making just days after she entered the PBB house with Rocky Salumbides.

Female Sam instantly attracted a lot of attention from House B boys Hermes and Rob. Hermes had his eyes glued on Sam since she entered the house while Rob seemed very interested about the young lady’s love life. Rocky, meanwhile, has begun to show his goofy and naughty side by joking around and telling stories to his housemates.

Sam and Rocky also got to see the people from House A as the face-off challenges continue between House A and B. This week’s task, called the “Skilling Bee,” aims to showcase the various skills of each group. The first team to win three games will bag the upcoming week’s budget and also get to cast an automatic nomination to one housemate from the losing house.

In the first face-off challenge called “It’s Showchoir,” judge Vice Ganda favored House B’s performance of the Tagalog version of “Insomia.” Vice said Melay and Jason made the rest of their housemates appear like back-up singers.

For the second challenge, the PBB house went Iron Chef-mode as the houses used their cooking skills to come up with an appetizer, main course, and dessert using the durian fruit.

House A faced a few bumps early in the challenge like when Jason committed a violation by prematurely taking off his blindfold when the boys were picking the vegetables. They also weren’t able to get meat for the dish they had to prepare.

Will Sam and Rocky help House B finally win the weekly task again? Stay tuned this week. Follow pbbsecretary on Twitter for latest updates.
