Celebrity housemates eliminated from “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab” (PBB) will be given a second chance to return to the Bahay ni Kuya (Big Brother House), as the reality show opened wildcard spots to a lucky duo.
“PBB” hosts Bianca Gonzalez and Gabbi Garcia announced on the show’s May 11 episode that six former housemates are considered for “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition Collab’s” wildcard edition.
These housemates are AC Bonifacio, Ashley Ortega, Kira Balinger, Charlie Fleming, Ralph de Leon, and Josh Ford.
Ex-celebrity housemates Michael Sager and Emilio Daez are not included in the lineup due to “prior commitments.” Sager recently joined the morning show “Unang Hirit” as a host, while Daez is one of the leads of the upcoming series “Love At First Spike.”
Only one duo composed of a Kapamilya and Kapuso housemate will be given a chance to return to the “PBB” House, which will be determined by votes through the Maya app.
The wildcard duo will be announced “by the end of the week,” according to Gonzalez.
De Leon and Ford were the latest housemates to be evicted from the Bahay Ni Kuya on the show’s May 10 episode.
