Born of an Arab-Israeli father and Filipino mother, Uma had applied for a residency permit in the country at the time he joined the show.

Jennifer "Jenny" Suico (born February 3, 1976) is a 29-year-old from Olongapo City. A married mother of one, she auditioned for the show out of boredom after returning from a stint in Japan as an entertainer. However, she made a voluntary exit on Day 28 to tend to her foster father, who was in critical condition at the time. She made the choice to leave after claiming to seek a sign from Divine Providence based on whether a housemate would carry her at all - if a man carried her, she would stay; if a woman did, she would leave. Nene eventually carried her during a light moment. Her foster father died five days after she left the house.
Jenny did return on Day 56 as part of a new twist called "The Big Switch," during which evicted housemates would have a chance to get back inside. She was eventually evicted on Day 84.
Franzen Macaraig Fajardo (born April 18, 1982) is a 23-year-old from Sampaloc, Manila. Married with one child, Franzen became popular among lower-class audiences because of his humble roots and comedic nature. Franzen ran afoul of Big Brother for committing several violations - including mouthing words to Cass - and got nominated several times in the process, but popular vote kept him inside the house. Deliberations between the show producers and consultants from Endemol over the mouthing of words resulted in a decision to evict him on Day 86. However, Cass offered to voluntarily exit to keep Franzen inside; Big Brother considered her offer and let the public choose Franzen's fate. The next day, however, voting was stopped and Franzen's forced eviction was finalized after he violated the rules again by discussing with Jason his last chat with Big Brother inside the confession room. He eventually left the house on Day 91.
Samuel Lloyd Lacia Milby (born May 23, 1984) is a 21-year-old from Troy, Ohio. A commercial model by trade, Sam entered the house one hour after Jenny left on Day 28 and was initially called "Housemate S." Sam was linked with Chx and wrote a love song with Say. He was evicted on Day 77.
