Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition| Full Episodes

Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition is the third celebrity season and the eighteenth overall season of the Philippine reality show Pinoy Big Brother . Co-produced by ABS-CBN Studios, the franchise holder, and GMA Network in partnership with Banijay Asia. The season premiered on March 9 until July 5, 2025 on GMA Network, marking the first time the franchise was broadcast on the network. The cast featured celebrities from the talent agencies Star Magic (known as Kapamilya) and Sparkle GMA Artist Center (known as Kapuso) competing as duos, a first in the series.

Hosted by a roster led by Bianca Gonzalez, the season ran for 119 days and featured 20 housemates along with several houseguests, making it the longest non-regular season of the franchise and surpassing Teen Edition 4 by 28 days. Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca were named the winners at the finale held at the New Frontier Theater, with Ralph De Leon and Will Ashley as first runners-up.

Despite ABS-CBN being the franchise holder, this season did not air on its domestic television channels. It was instead made available through ABS-CBN's flagship livestreaming platform, Kapamilya Online Live, and internationally via The Filipino Channel (TFC). In addition, PBB All-Access Livestream was made available via ABS-CBN’s iWant livestreaming platform, offering viewers live coverage and exclusive online content.

Development

On January 27, 2025, during a broadcast of the newscast 24 Oras , actress-presenter Iya Villania announced that the new season of Pinoy Big Brother would air on GMA Network, marking the franchise's debut broadcast on the network. ^[1] As series' third celebrity edition, subtitled Celebrity Collab Edition, the season's cast would be composed of artists from the talent agencies Star Magic and Sparkle GMA Artist Center. ^[2] The following day, a contract signing between the executives from ABS-CBN Studios and GMA Network was held in Quezon City. ^[3] Principal photography commenced on March 9, 2025. ^[4]

Hosts from the previous seasons—Bianca Gonzalez, Robi Domingo, Kim Chiu, Melai Cantiveros, Enchong Dee and Alexa Ilacad—all reprised their roles. ^[5] Two talents from GMA—Gabbi Garcia and Mavy Legaspi—joined the roster of hosts on February 9 and 21, respectively. ^{[6] [7]}

Broadcast

The season premiered on March 9, 2025, on GMA's Sunday night lineup. ^[8] The program aired on GMA Network's Prime lineup during weeknights. ^[9] The show aired worldwide via GMA Pinoy TV and The Filipino Channel. Aside from its television broadcast, the season also airs online through Kapuso Stream, Kapamilya Online Live, iWant, and ABS-CBN Entertainment YouTube channel. ^[10] Two companions show support the series. Updates, hosted by Garcia, airs twice on weekdays on GMA, while The OnlineVerse, hosted by Ilacad and Legaspi, streaming every Saturday on Kapuso Stream and Kapamilya Online Live. ^{[11] [12]} The show moved to new timeslot at 9:35 p.m., from June 16 to July 4, 2025, replacing Slay . It was replaced with Beauty Empire on July 7, 2025, after The Big Night, is now season finale on July 5, 2025.

Theme songs

The season used a new version of "Sikat Ang Pinoy" (transl. Filipinos Are Famous) as its main theme, with Darren Espanto and Julie Anne San Jose providing vocals for the track. ^{[13] [14]} Jonathan Manalo composed and produced the season's eviction theme, "Paalam Muna Sandali" (transl. Goodbye for a Moment), which was recorded and released by Espanto as a single off his upcoming album Ikaw Pa Rin (2025). ^[15]

Broadcast coverage in other programs

During the season, the Pinoy Big Brother House welcomed prominent news personalities for special interviews. Veteran broadcast journalist Rico Hizon conducted an exclusive interview with Kuya (Big Brother) in late June 2025 as part of his program, Beyond the Exchange with Rico Hizon, which aired on the ABS-CBN News Channel. His interview delved into various aspects of the show, including the selection criteria for prospective housemates and the intent behind the house tasks. ^[16]

Meanwhile, days before the Big Night, GMA Network journalist Jessica Soho visited the house to interview the season's finalists. Her interview covered the housemates' experiences inside the house, and was broadcast a day after the Big Night on her weekly magazine program, Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho . During her visit, Soho immersed herself in the landmark aspects of the show, including meeting Kuya in the confession room, learning about the house rules, and touring the house. She also cooked for the housemates, and they shared lessons learned about being true to oneself and the importance of community. ^[17]

Format

Collab format

The season's subtitle, Collab, alludes to its cast, which is composed of celebrities signed to the talent agencies Star Magic and Sparkle GMA Artist Center, a first in Pinoy Big Brother history. ^[18] Deviating from the show's usual format, the housemates competed in duos, each consisting of a Star Magic and Sparkle housemate. ^{[19] [20]}

These duos were shuffled periodically through tasks and challenges until Day 91, when the final duos were determined. ^{[19] [20]} In each nomination round, each duo nominates two other duos for eviction, with the first receiving three points and the second receiving one point. The top three duos with the most nomination points (or more if there is a tie) will be put forward for public vote. Housemates are nominated and evicted as duos, with a duo being declared as the winner in the season finale. ^[21] For the first time since the show's inaugural season in 2005, nominations and evictions were conducted every two weeks.

Maya partnership

Digital payment app Maya retained its partnership with Pinoy Big Brother, as its official finance and voting partner. ^[22] Through the app, viewers may vote to save a nominee from eviction, being provided 30 chances to vote per voting day. Starting from the fourth nomination round, viewers have the additional option to give 300 or 500 save votes to a nominated housemate of their choice. ^[22]

For The Big Night, viewers can vote to save and evict. Furthermore, viewers can vote unlimited times. ^[23]

As part of their sponsorship, housemates can manage their weekly budget by depositing their funds in the app. If they succeed in their weekly task, they will receive ₱50,000; otherwise, they will receive ₱30,000. Housemates have two options: they can spend a portion of their weekly budget for the week or save it and watch it grow with an interest rate of up to 15%.

Twists

• Immunity Shield: First unveiled on Day 9, the Immunity Shield necklace grants the wearer immunity for the following nomination round. ^[24]
• The Big Comeback: On Day 64, the hosts announced that there will be a Wild Card Round for the evicted housemates, ^[25] with an exception to Michael and Emilio due to their prior commitments, ^[26] using Maya, where viewers will have the power to vote to bring back one Sparkle housemate and one Star Magic housemate who deserve to continue his/her journey inside the house. The results were announced on Day 71. ^[27] The voting process was conducted individually and daily voting limit will also apply.
• Big Intensity Challenges: On Day 72, Big Brother announced that the housemates would determine the final duo through a series of challenges, aside from immunity at stake. The Sparkle housemates faced off against fellow Sparkle housemates, while the Star Magic housemates faced off against fellow Star Magic housemates. The nominees for the fifth nomination round were determined through this challenge, with one Sparkle and Star Magic housemate being evicted at the end of the week.
• Secret Room: On Day 79, Big Brother surprised the other housemates by isolating the four Big Intensity Challenge winners, AZ, Esnyr, Shuvee, and Ralph, in a secret room. After a set amount of time, these four housemates switched rooms with the nominated housemates. During their stay in the Secret Room, they were able to communicate with a morphed voice of Big Brother via a "Secret Confession Room." The housemates were given a limited budget of ₱1,000, which was later increased by the Money Roll task done outside the Secret Room. To free the nominated housemates from the Secret Room, the saved housemates must work together on a task with the assistance of houseguest Jane de Leon.
• House Challenges: The housemates and duo challengers faced a series of challenges that may or may not have an impact on who stays and who leaves the house, and those housemates who faced the challenges risked losing their housemate status to them. ^[28] The duo challengers entered the house on Day 99, stayed in the task room, and observed the housemates secretly. One by one, evicted duos faced the housemates, putting them in situations that would reveal their true colors. In the end, the duo challengers voted on which final duo deserves to be in the Big 4. Unbeknownst to the final duos, they were also given a chance to vote. The final duo that receives the most votes will claim the first spot in the Big 4. A challenge will be held to break the tie, if any.
• Big Jump to the Big Four: Last used on Connect as Big 4 Karapatdapat Challenges, on Day 107, shortly after Charlie and Esnyr were declared as the first duo to enter the Big 4, Big Brother announced that the remaining four duos would undergo three distinct Big Jump challenges to determine the remaining three slots in the Big 4.
• One Million Votes Challenge: Similar to the Ten Million Diamonds Challenge used in Kumunity 10, the four remaining duos will face a series of challenges to earn a portion of the one million votes at stake, which will be combined with the public’s votes in the finale.

Houseguests

Within the framework of Pinoy Big Brother, the term "houseguest" designates an individual invited to enter the Big Brother house. Some of these houseguests are introduced with the explicit purpose of residing for an extended duration and deliberately chosen to influence the dynamics among the official housemates—thereby affecting relationships or altering the competition's trajectory. Conversely, other houseguests serve primarily as visitors; their stay within the house is typically brief, often entailing specific tasks assigned by Big Brother, or their presence fulfills a particular purpose. This can include, for instance, introducing a new game twist, presenting a unique challenge to the housemates, providing gifts to the housemates, or engaging them in conversation.^{[ citation needed ]}

Notes

Although the video's length (18 minutes and 25 seconds) was within the time limit, the housemates committed three mistakes. These include the reflection of housemates not involved in the current scene, or of the cameraman being seen in the mirror, and a housemate being captured in a different scene. On the second day, the task leaders requested more stocks since their supplies were running low. These stocks are worth ₱3,098.00 (US$54). Therefore, the total investment to be doubled by the housemates is ₱23,098.00 (US$403). Big Brother clarified that all mistakes made by a single housemate will be treated as one mistake for the weekly task. Except for Josh, Michael, and Will, all of the housemates committed a mistake, leading to a total of 13 mistakes, with everyone from the second group committing a mistake. Since Ji-Soo was able to deliver three hugot lines for the P-drama task, the housemates were able to remove a total of three layers across both towers. On the final day, the housemates had less than two hours to speak. However, they committed a whopping twenty-one mistakes, dooming them to their third failed weekly task. By the third day, the housemates were able to reach the 12-bottle mark, temporarily guaranteeing them 50% of the weekly budget. However, Big Brother made an offer to the task leaders, Emilio and Vince. Should they opt to try getting the full weekly budget, they only need to flip the remaining 11 bottles. However, only the three nominated duos can do this. Furthermore, failing to flip all 11 bottles means no weekly budget. The task leaders decided to proceed with the task. Emilio and Michael flipped 11 bottles, handing them the victory for this weekly task and the full weekly budget. Fifty people from the outside world who secured tickets on a first-come, first-served basis by paying ₱20,000 will enter the house to attend The Big Carnival Concert. The ticket package includes a photo opportunity with the housemates, confession room experience, signed housemate t-shirt, food and drinks, photo opportunities at the house facade, and main lobby. The earned ticket sales will proceed to the PBB Collab Charity Mission. Bianca was unable to participate in the show because of an ankle injury sustained during rehearsals. Instead, she became the concert's emcee. The housemates received 2/3 of the weekly budget on the first show after they passed 2 out of 3 circus acts. With 2 more acts passing at the second show, the housemates received 133% of the weekly budget. As an additional reward for winning the first Big Intensity Challenge, Shuvee was informed about the male housemates' secret weekly task. This meant that she was allowed to help the boys for the rest of the task. The housemates received 50% of the weekly budget after the male housemates successfully hid Ralph for the entire week. When only one housemate was left, Big Brother forced the four most recent returnees to do the task and carry one handle each. They failed to bring back Dustin in thirty minutes. Ralph was helped by his father Raffy, and Will was helped by his mother Mindy while they were still in the house.

Each housemate had to pull one end of the rope attached to the holder. If the block fell at any point after a "save point," the duo may restart from the previous save point. After transferring twenty puzzle blocks, they had to solve the puzzle at the building area. Each duo was given a freeze power that freezes all other duos for 10 minutes. When the duo thought they are done with the puzzle, they had to raise their hand, signaling a ninja to check, who then relayed his verdict to Big Brother privately. The first duo that solved the puzzle secured the second spot in the Big Four.	AZ & River Bianca & Dustin Brent & Mika Ralph & Will	Ralph & Will
2	June 25 (Day 109)	Second Big Jump Challenge Each duo was presented seven letter blocks: B, I, G, F, O, U, and R. They had to squeeze the 'B' block in between them using any body part of their choice. After some time, duos were given thirty seconds to squeeze the next letter block in between them while still retaining the previous blocks. The process continued until they formed the word "BIGFOUR." They were not required to stay in one spot while completing the challenge. Furthermore, each duo could rest for 100 seconds. If any of the blocks fell, the duo was eliminated from the challenge. The last duo standing secured the third spot in the Big Four. Results Duo Order AZ & River 3 Bianca & Dustin 1 Brent & Mika 2	AZ & River Bianca & Dustin Brent & Mika	AZ & River
3	June 27 (Day 111)	Third Big Jump Challenge Duos had to transfer red plastic cups using a stick and guide the stick from start to finish via a wall maze. They could transfer multiple cups as long as those weren't stacked tightly. They had to do this alternately. If the cup(s) fell, they had to go back to the starting point. At some point during the task, Big Brother told each duo to assign a transporter and a navigator. The transporter, who could not see the wall maze, relied on instructions from the navigator. Each duo member alternated between these roles after every successful transfer. Using the transferred cups, they had to build a tower. The duo that built the taller tower secured the final spot in the Big Four, while the losers became the last evictees for this season. Results Duo Layers Height Bianca & Dustin 13 56 in.

Notes

1. ^ On Day 3, the housemates were tasked to play a game which is similar to The Boat is Sinking game; they were instructed to group themselves into sets of eight, six, and finally two. Each group had to contain an equal number of Sparkle and Star Magic housemates. After the final round, Big Brother revealed that the pairs formed during the game would serve as the official duos for their first cycle.
2. ^ On Day 9, housemates chose rope ends—blue for Sparkle, red for Star Magic—to form new pairs by matching ropes. Charlie didn’t join because she had immunity, and Bianca entered after pairs were set. In the second nomination round, Bianca and Charlie were treated as a pair since both had immunity.
3. ^ On Day 22, housemates had five minutes to move balls using three pedestals worth 1, 2, or 3 points each. They were ranked by total points, and the highest-ranked unpaired housemate chose a partner, but no one could pick someone they’d paired with before. Josh and Michael tied with 19 points; Josh picked Esnyr first, then Michael chose River. Dustin picked Brent, Kira chose Charlie, Ralph picked AZ, Will chose Klarisse, and Mika picked Bianca. Emilio and Vince, new housemates, were paired automatically.
4. ^ On Day 36, the housemates completed a task where they had to scoop balls containing correct answers from a press conference with new housemates Shuvee and Xyriel. The fastest housemate to scoop both correct balls could choose a new partner, but no one could choose someone they’d already been paired with. Klarisse finished first and picked Mika; Josh followed, choosing River. Michael selected Emilio, Vince picked Brent, Bianca chose AZ, Dustin picked Ralph, and Will chose Esnyr. Shuvee and Xyriel, as new housemates, were automatically paired. ^[87]
5. ^ On Day 50, housemates had five minutes to do kendama tricks and earn points. They got 1 point for the big cup, 5 points for the small cup, and 10 points for the base cup. The highest-ranked unpaired housemate got to pick a partner, but no one could pick someone they had already paired with. Ralph scored 80 points and picked Josh. Vince also scored 80 points and chose River. Josh, with 80 points too, could not pick. Dustin scored 78 points and picked Xyriel. Klarisse got 76 points and chose AZ. Mika scored 74 points and picked Esnyr. Will scored 70 points and chose Brent. Shuvee scored 45 points and picked Bianca. The rest either were already picked or couldn’t choose.
6. ^ On Day 64, each housemate had to pull five cups with a ball on top across the finish line. If the ball fell, they had to place it back and start again on that lane. Housemates were ranked by how fast they finished, and the highest-ranked unpaired housemate could pick a new partner. No one could pick someone they had already been paired with. Esnyr was fastest, finishing in 1 minute 51 seconds, and chose Shuvee as partner. Shuvee finished next but could not pick. Will finished third and picked Bianca. Dustin was fourth and chose River. AZ came fifth and picked Brent. Klarisse finished ninth and chose Vince. Xyriel finished eleventh and picked Mika. Others either were already paired or did not get to pick. ^[88]
7. ^ On Day 85, the housemates participated in a self-ranking exercise to determine pairings for an upcoming duo task. Housemates from Star Magic and Sparkle talent agencies independently ranked members of the opposing agency based on perceived efficiency. Tied ranks between the agencies were resolved through a vote. Additionally, Big Brother privately solicited individual preferences of the housemates for their respective desired and least desired duo partners. The composite results established the final ranking from first to twelfth place: Ralph, Shuvee, Klarisse, Will, Brent, Mika, Esnyr, AZ, Bianca, Dustin, River, and Charlie. This final order dictated the sequence for initiating the final duo formation task. ^[89]
8. ^ For the final duo formation task on Day 87, each of the first eleven housemates had a 20-second headstart over the housemate ranked behind them. Additionally, the four victors of the "Big Intensity Challenge" received a significant advantage: the ability to "freeze" all other housemates for one minute at any point during the task. For the task, the housemates had to memorize their loved ones and then place the wooden poles bearing their pictures on a handheld panel in the correct order and carry the panel to a podium. They must restart if any of the wooden poles fall or if they get the order incorrect. The final rankings, from first to twelfth, were recorded as: Ralph, Shuvee, Klarisse, Dustin, Will, Mika, AZ, Bianca, Charlie, River, Brent, and Esnyr. ^[90]
9. ^ On Days 89 to 91 for the final duo formation, housemates can choose someone they have been paired up with in the past. However, the chosen housemate may choose to reject. They may only do this once. For being the first to choose, Ralph cannot be rejected by whoever he chooses.

Nomination history

In each nomination, duos assign three points to one duo and one point to another, with the nomination table reflecting this by listing the duo receiving three points first. ^[91] Underlined names denote the intended target for that specific point, if any. Otherwise, no target was identified.

Notes

1. ^   The housemates from Star Magic, except Bianca, successfully completed a designated task. Big Brother granted them the privilege of selecting one Sparkle housemate to receive immunity from the initial nominations. The housemates unanimously chose Charlie.
2. ^   Bianca, a newly introduced Star Magic housemate, was automatically granted immunity due to her late entry into the house on Day 10, five days before the first nomination round. She was subsequently paired with Charlie, who had earlier received immunity through the collective decision of the Star Magic housemates following a successful challenge.
3. ^   Emilio and Vince, who entered the house as new housemates on Day 22 (the day following the first eviction), were exempted from the second nomination round. For the subsequent nomination round, the two were automatically paired.
4. ^   Shuvee and Xyriel, new housemates who entered on Day 36 (the day after the second eviction), were exempted from the third nomination round. They were also automatically paired for the ongoing nomination round.
5. ^   Shuvee received an automatic nomination for violating house rules by using a lapel microphone in the swimming pool. Adhering to the duos format, her partner, Bianca, was also automatically nominated.
6. ^ The "Big Comeback" twist allowed previously evicted Sparkle and Star Magic housemates to re-enter the house. The voting process for this segment was conducted independently for Sparkle and Star Magic housemates. Evicted housemates Emilio and Michael opted not to participate in The Big Comeback due to personal commitments.
7. ^ Public voting for the "Big Comeback" twist, conducted via Maya, concluded on Day 70. The results, announced on Day 71, declared Ralph and Charlie the winners.
8. ^ AZ, Esnyr, Ralph, and Shuvee secured immunity for the fifth nomination round after winning in two Big Intensity Challenges. All housemates who did not win these challenges were automatically nominated for the eviction round.
9. ^ Public voting for this particular eviction round was individual; however, one Sparkle housemate and one Star Magic housemate were still slated for eviction.
10. ^ For the face-to-face nomination, housemates publicly gave their nominations through hanging a black medal containing the number "1" or "3" around the necks of the duos of their choice.
11. ^ On the seventh and final nomination round, the five duo housemates cast their votes through positive nominations. The challengers also voted for positive nominations individually. The duo with the highest combined number of votes was directly qualified for the Big Night. The remaining duos then competed in three "Big Jump" challenges to determine the remaining finalists.
12. ^ For the Big Night, unlimited voting and the vote to save-evict system were implemented to determine the winners of this edition.

Big Tapatan voting

On Days 102 and 107, the house challengers and housemates respectively voted for a duo to become the first members of the Big 4. ^[108]

Had there been a tie, the duos would have competed in a head-to-head in a Big Jump Challenge. The remaining four duos will compete in three Big Jump challenges to complete the season's Big Four.

The Big Night

The New Frontier Theater (pictured in 2016) served as the venue for the finale.

The season finale, titled The Big Night, was held on July 5, 2025, at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City. ^[110] The event included performances of former housemates, houseguests Bianca Umali, Michelle Dee, Donny Pangilinan, and contestants of Tawag ng Tanghalan: All-Star Grand Resbak and The Clash . ^{[111] [112]} The Big Four faced the public vote, with the public allowed to cast unlimited votes and the save-to-evict voting enabled for the round. ^[113] The winning duo, referred to as the "Big Winner Duo" received ₱1,000,000 each, while the second, third, and fourth runners-up, referred to as the "Big Placer Duos", each received ₱500,000, ₱300,000, and ₱200,000 respectively from the sponsor Bingo Plus. ^[110]

This was the first Big Night to be held outside ABS-CBN's network-owned production facilities since Otso in 2019.

Notable events

In an episode aired on April 2, 2025, Klarisse De Guzman publicly came out as bisexual. During a task where housemates had to share personal stories, De Guzman revealed that she had been in a same-sex relationship with her partner, Trina, for four years. She expressed her pride and relief, stating, "I’m so happy and I’m so proud of myself that I’m finally out." Although her family had been aware of her sexuality, this marked the first time De Guzman shared her truth publicly. She acknowledged her previous fear of judgment and the potential impact on her career but emphasized the freedom she now felt. The revelation was met with widespread support from her fellow housemates and viewers. ^[114]

According to AGB Nielsen Philippines' Nationwide Urban Television Audience Measurement People in television homes, the pilot episode of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition earned an 8.6% rating. ^[115] The final episode scored a 10.5% rating. ^[116]
