Hey there, mga Ka-Collab ng Bayan! After their intensive head-to-head battle of the Kapamilya and Kapuso wildcards following the reception of the top two most-voted ex-housemates of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition (as implied in The Big Wildcard), Kapamilya ex-housemate-wildcard Eliza Borromeo and Kapuso ex-housemate-wildcard Marco Masa made their return inside the house as Official Housemates.
The Big Wildcard Face-Off Challenge: Eliza vs. Rave and Anton vs. Marco
For the wildcard challenge, the two wildcards of each wildcard vote-winning Kapamilya and Kapuso ex-housemates had to pull a rope to get to the other side while balancing blocks that were sitting on a platform attached to the rope. If the blocks fell, they would have to redo it. Once on the other side, they must put down the letter block they were holding. Once they have transferred 12 blocks, they must unscramble them into two six-letter words: “SECOND CHANCE” (the board must have “SECOND” on the first line, and “CHANCE” on the second line).
- In an episode aired last January 13, 2026, Kapamilya ex-housemates-wildcards Eliza Borromeo and Rave Victoria will compete in this head-to-head battle. After hours of solving, Eliza completed the words “SECOND CHANCE” from the board, marking her journey to return inside as an official housemate. At the same time, ex-housemate-wildcard opponent Rave will be evicted from the house.
- In an episode aired last January 14, 2026, Kapuso ex-housemates-wildcards Anton Vinzon and Marco Masa will compete in this head-to-head battle. After hours of solving, Marco completed the words “SECOND CHANCE” from the board, marking his journey to return inside as an official housemate. At the same time, ex-housemate-wildcard opponent Anton will be evicted from the house.
With this, Eliza Borromeo and Marco Masa will regain themselves as official housemates of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0. In contrast, the twelve remaining housemates, including the latest set of nominees, Ashley Sarmiento, John Clifford, Heath Jornales, Fred Moser, Miguel Vergara, and Krystal Mejes, will join the two returning housemates inside.

Similar to Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11, each batch nominated some of the housemates of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0 (before and during the edition’s launch, and the exit of the housemates from each eviction nights) and ran a public voting campaign on the VPCA App and Website, powered by Choicely, the most secure and credible voting platform trusted by Grammys, Eurovision, Miss Universe, and many others.
And after months of voting for each batch to take part in the “Final Five” at the end of each period, PiPOL mgZn announced the following PBB Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0 housemates (shown below) who were part of the “Final 20”, and the final voting will commence between January 15, 2026, and February 10, 2026, with two housemates will receive a 7% Vote Boost power, which is a power perk for a top voted nominee of each batch.

The top three voted-for nominees will receive a VPCA Black Obelisk Trophy.
