Straw Swap

Straw Swap (Oljenkorsi) is a competition, where nominated housemates compete with each other. The winner is allowed to do a swap where he or she chooses either herself or himself or somebody other nominated away from the eviction. The winner must choose a non-nominated housemate to replace the swapped person for eviction.

Notes

  Housemate was given immunity.

• ^1 No nominations, because Weeks 1 and Week 2 had a "final week voting", where the winner has given immunity in all evictions, always up to a final week. The winner was told to the housemates on 14 October 2011.
• ^2 Veera has two weeks immunity, because she is new in the house. Housemates do not know about this, except for Veera.
• ^3 Salar had already been nominated as breaking rules ongoingly. Also he cannot be involved in Straw Swap and nominate nobody.
• ^4 Six housemates are under of Eviction and that is why Straw Swap is not in this week.
• ^5 Matti broke the rules and was instantly nominated without a change for Straw Swap.
• ^6 Suvi and Annika failed in a task and were instantly nominated without a change for Straw Swap.
• ^7 No nominations because Mikael, Sebastian, Suvi, Annika and Veera failed in a task and were instantly nominated without a change for Straw Swap.
• ^8 The public voted to nominate. On Week 7, the two housemates with the most votes were nominated. On Week 12, the three housemates with the fewest votes were nominated. Then, the non-nominated housemates voted to evict one of them.
