• Alyssa Valdez: A volleyball player known as the "Heartstrong Phenom of Batangas", her friendship with Samantha was adored by viewers, gaining the nickname of "SamLy" in the process. She was the sole housemate from the edition to not get nominated.
• Anji Salvacion: A signer of Russian descent called the "Singing Sweetheart of Siargao", her personality polarized viewers as she gained a lot of supporters with her passionate character, singing ability, and strong performance in tasks, while simultaneously getting a lot of critics due to her antagonistic approach towards KD, resentment towards Alexa for helping out KD after she told him that "there will never be a chance", and allegedly benefitting from management favoritism
• Samantha Bernardo: Called the "Bread Queen-er of Palawan", she was very popular with viewers whether it be for her friendship with Alyssa, or for her helping out KD during his struggles in the earlier part of the edition.
• Daisy "Madam Inutz" Lopez: Known as the "Mama-bentang Live Seller of Cavite", her feisty personality was initially loved by viewers, especially with her nominating Chie for allegedly contributing nothing but her beauty. The viewers cooled off on her during the latter portion of the edition due to her involvement in the Alexa-Brenda-Eian love triangle as well as her manager single-handedly saving her from eviction
• Brenda Mage: Billed as the "Fun-Along Comedian of Cagayan de Oro", he was known for his strong performance in tasks as well as his controversial personality inside the house owing to a romantic interest with Eian causing him to constantly bump heads with Alexa in the process
• Alexa Ilacad: A longtime ABS-CBN actress called the "Smartista Unica Hija of Pasig", her stay in the PBB house was mostly known for a conflict with Albie over peanut butter, discussing her mental health, conflicts with Eian and Brenda, and her helping KD as he was struggling after consecutive nominations and being turned down by Anji
• KD Estrada: A musician called the "Musical Wonder Boy of Parañaque", he badly struggled in the early portion of the edition owing to depression and anxiety as he was nominated three straight times, was turned down by Anji, and walked out after he found out that he was nominated for a third week in a row. Despite those struggles, housemates like Alexa and Samantha helped him adjust and recover afterwards, and he was visibly in better shape on the latter half of the edition.
• Jordan Andrews: Called the "Musical Dreamchaser of London", he was mildly popular among viewers but garnered criticism for being "boring"
• Eian Rances: Billed as the "Striving Streamer of Quezon", he was a controversial housemate due to his relationships with Alexa and Brenda, allegedly "using" the former once he found out that she was popular with the viewers
• TJ Valderrama: Dubbed the "Laughter Lodi of Manila", he was very unpopular with the viewers for manipulating Anji and KD, as well as being seen inappropriately touching Shanaia several times in a Kumu livestream, which lead to calls for him to be force-evicted. He was the only housemate to get a negative vote tally for the entire edition.
• Kyle Echarri: An actor and signer who was a core member of the "Gold Squad" prior to entering the PBB house, his stay alienated fans of his tandem with Francine Diaz, known as "KyCine", after Kyle became close with Chie. He also got criticized for accusing KD of "copying his style" days prior to his eviction

Subsequent events

Alyssa Valdez, chose to relinquish her spot in the Biga-10 on Day 197. She made the decision as a result of her prior commitments as part of the Philippines women's national volleyball team, which will compete in the 2021 Southeast Asian Games, conflicting with the schedule allotted for the Biga-10's stay in the house. Samantha, by virtue of having the next most votes in the final eviction poll, took her place in the Biga-10 and the Celebrity Top 2 as a result.

Brenda and Madam Inutz were selected to compete for a wildcard spot in the Biga-10.

Nomination history

In each standard nomination round, every housemate is called to the confession room to nominate two of their housemates for eviction with the first nominee receiving 2 points and the other receiving 1 point. The housemates with the most nomination points (usually 3) will then face the public vote to determine the evictee for that round. However, Big Brother may automatically nominate a housemate for rule violations or a failure in a task. On the other hand, immunity may be awarded as a reward for accomplishing a task. Big Brother may forcibly evict a housemate for severe violations and a housemate may opt to voluntarily leave the house. In certain circumstances, the nomination process may be delayed as a result of a pending challenge or task.

For the purposes of uniformity with the other previous season articles, the launch night is marked as Day 1, not the day after it.

Reception

Praises

During this edition, the show opened a conversation, both on the show and online, about the mental health struggles of the celebrity housemates. With the help of the show's resident psychologist-psychiatrist Dr. Randy Dellosa, mental health conditions were being addressed on the show, including KD Estrada's anxiety, ^[79] Albie Casiño's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ^[80] Alexa Ilacad's body dysmorphia, ^{[81] [82]} and the housemates' reaction and response on dealing with people diagnosed with such conditions. As such conversations remain a taboo in Filipino society, the move has won praise and appreciation from netizens for normalizing mental health-related conversations. ^[83]

Controversies and criticisms

Unli-Voting and alleged favoritism of Anji Salvacion

The second nomination week of the celebrity edition saw a tight battle between the set of nominees. Two days prior to the end of voting, the management decided to remove the Kumu voting limit of 10 votes per account per day in a twist called "Unli-Voting." The twist drew some flak amongst avid and loyal viewers, claiming that "it is unfair" as the results wouldn't reflect the choices of the voting audience as a small number of voters can drastically swing the results for or against a nominee in limited time. It was also seen as a sketchy move intended to save alleged management favorite Anji Salvacion, who was trailing Albie Casiño before unli-voting came into effect, and Salvacion was criticized by viewers for giving a harsh rebuke to fellow nominee KD Estrada, who was struggling with his mental health at the time, causing her to garner a lot of BBEs (votes to evict) prior to the unli-voting announcement.

By the time the voting closed, Salvacion overtook Casiño, who ended up being the second evictee. As a result, the hashtags #PBBUnfair and #PBBCancelUnliVotes trended on Twitter with the fans sending questions on executive producer and director Lauren Dyogi's Twitter, who then explained that they "initially planned it for the first nomination week but it didn't push through because of technical issues." ^[84] After weeks of further criticism, especially after Estrada and fellow fan favorite Alexa Ilacad were both evicted on the same night, the twist was later cancelled for the Celebrity Batch's final eviction and, by extension, the rest of the season.

Eventually, Salvacion ended up as the season's Big Winner, which sparked criticism of vote-rigging in her favor due to the unexpected 22.21% gap between Salvacion and Isabel Laohoo, mainly from Estrada and Ilacad's supporters who dislike her due to her antagonism towards Estrada while they were inside the house, and also due to Laohoo's wealth being a factor in her getting landslide votes to save whenever she was up for eviction.

Inappropriate remarks

Brenda Mage received backlash from viewers after a clip of him giving inappropriate remarks went viral across social media platforms, which included inappropriate solicitation of sexual favors towards Eian Rances and offensive jokes. ^[85] Mage apologized to Rances after being reminded by Big Brother in the confession room. Mage also received backlash for allegedly talking bad behind fellow housemate Alexa Ilacad due to both of their relationships with Rances, and the viewers were upset when a Kumu livestream clip showcased Mage talking harshly about Ilacad to his fellow housemate, Madam Inutz. Mage apologized to Ilacad after the conclusion of the Celebrity Edition. Mage eventually finished as the 5th Big Placer to a positive reception from the public, with many describing his second stint inside the house as his redemption arc.

Allegations of sexual misconduct

TJ Valderrama was subjected to controversy after he was spotted touching and looking at Shanaia Gomez in an allegedly sexual manner on several occasions by live feed viewers. This resulted in calls for his immediate removal from the house with the hashtag #ForceEvictTJ trending nationwide on November 20, 2021, alongside "Protect Shanaia Gomez." ^[86] Gabriela Women's Party, a left-wing Filipino political party which advocates for the protection of women's rights, has also released a statement calling out the show regarding the issue. ^[87] Moreover, the show and the housemates stated that there was nothing wrong happening, and that the viewers should be careful of what they accuse. ^[88] Valderrama was eventually evicted on Day 51 while also being the sole housemate to receive a negative vote tally for the season. ^[68]
