On Day 44, Big Brother instructed the housemates to sort their personal stuff and put it in the boxes: Akin (Mine) – these things will be kept by the housemates, Alay (Give) – these will be given to people in need, and Ayaw (Do Not Want) – these will be thrown away as of Big Brother's discretion. After packing, they were instructed to stay in the bedroom as the ninjas take away more furniture from the House. Big Brother gave them a challenge to live without basic necessities at hand. They have to fish these items, that were scattered on the garden area, from behind a barricade. The bedrooms became off limits as well. Come night time, Enchong was instructed to host a fake Big Night event. Bailey and Ylona were removed from the roster, making Franco, Jimboy, Kenzo, and Kamille as "finalists." Eventually, Franco was named the "winner"; Jimboy, Kamille, and Kenzo came in second, third, and fourth place, respectively. With this in mind, Bailey and Ylona were moved to the garden area, where they'll be living separately from the other housemates. On Day 45, both groups were given a buzzer. If the four "finalists" think they deserve to stay, they must press the buzzer; in turn, Bailey and Ylona will be "evicted". If Bailey and Ylona think they deserve to stay, they must press the buzzer; in turn, they must pick two from the "finalists" who should be "evicted", in place of them. Bailey and Ylona buzzed first, and they chose Kenzo and Kamille to be "evicted." On Day 47, Kamille was evicted from the house after garnering the fewest votes against Franco and Ylona. On Day 48, Bailey, together with a street child, celebrated his birthday with the housemates. On Day 49, four thrones were placed inside at the four finalists.

The Big Tablet
On week 6, the housemates were given a Big Tablet, which contains "apps" they can use. The Big Tablet is available for a week, and it has ten battery bars. One battery bar is deducted for every app they use. Below are the "apps", and their corresponding definitions. They can use these apps at any time, and they can use it multiple times. Their first app, Games, was given as a "free trial", therefore no battery bars were deducted.


 * Only four housemates can use the app one time. This was determined by a task.
 * Jimboy, Kenzo, and Ylona wanted to use the app, but only one of them can. This was determined by holding beads on their arms for 3 hours. One gram is equivalent to Php100. The most number of grams retained, wins the app. Jimboy won the task, therefore he has the full money to give to a friend in need. As for Kenzo and Ylona, their money was cut in half, also to give to a loved one in need.
