PBB Collab 2.0: 1st Groupings and Punishment Task, as it happened in the 2nd Week
Twenty (20) Housemates turns into Five (5) Groups with Four (4) Members, comprising of Two (2) Kapuso and Two (2) Kapamilya housemates each, and that was what Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab 2.0 had called the “Collab 2.0 Big Twist”, or what we called to as “Quadros” comes in, all will take part to any tasks, Ligtask challenges, nominations, public voting, and evictions, all over the place.
And yes, the “Collab 2.0 Big Twist” or PBB Collab 2.0 “Quadros” (like “Duos” in PBB Gen 11’s DongPat and JoliGwen, and PBB Collab 1.0 does) implies, because in the first Collab, the 20 current housemates will be divided into Five (5) Groups comprising of Two (2) Kapuso/Sparkle and Two (2) Kapamilya/Star Magic Housemates, equivalent to Four (4) members in each part of the group, and all of the groups they will take part in a Ligtask Challenge – one of which will be safe from nomination, the other four will face nominations. The 1st-ever nomination night of this season will happen this Sunday, November 9, 2025.
If the groups had failed the Ligtask Challenge, they will have the right to vote who must be nominated for the public voting – the higher the nomination points of a group has, they will be at risk of getting nominated and viewers will have the power to vote a nominated group on the Maya app from whom will must be saved. If the Kapuso and Kapamilya housemate receives the lowest BBS Vote, and once the Eviction Votings have been ended, on the day of the Eviction Night, they will get out from the Big Brother house.
For the November 2, 2025 episode, the group leaders of each five groups to form are made through a Reverse Class Picture Task, which resulted to the following housemates are declared leaders of each groups: Anton Vinzon, Krystal Mejes, Carmelle Collado, Reich Alim, and Miguel Vergara.
For the November 3, 2025 episode, a day after the airing of the Group Leaders announcement through a game, the leaders will have their right to choose, and below are the following group names and its leaders will take the lead for the next tasks, while the remaining four housemates including Miguel Vergara, will be part of his team headed by the said housemate:

- Team Rays of Sunshine (headed by Reich): Princess Aliyah, Waynona Collings, and Fred Moser.
- Team Adorable Task Smashers (headed by Miguel): Ashley Sarmiento, Lee Victor, and Eliza Borromeo.
In addition, most of the housemates, during their stay, had been violated some of it’s rules that Big Brother had said in its rule book, which resulted to a punishment task that he gave to them as a result.
In this punishment task, the violators have instructed to carry a Big Rule Book, one violation is equivalent to one rule book. For the following portions, Big Brother then allowed housemates from the same group to transfer or to receive books and lift the burden, literally, off their teammates, then he ordered them to walk around the pool, while their arms are stretched, and finally, the violators will walk around the pool thirteen times, with one housemate of their choice ending their punishment after each lap.
Joaquin Arce and Sofia Pablo received the most number of violations of five points each. For Joaquin, he violated the Talking Without Lapel policy three times, besides the other violations like what he’ve talked about – in terms of the confession room topics and about the outside world. For Sofia, She did violated the policy against talking to the camera twice, besides from pointing to it once, as well as talking about outside world and for communicating non-verbally without lapel.
Apart from Joaquin and Sofia, most of the housemates, but not including Heath Jornales, Waynona Collings, Princess Aliyah, Caprice Cayetano, Miguel Vergara, John Clifford, and Reich Alim, had also violated some of it’s rules, whether they’ve received only one or higher than that number.
