Featured Article: First two evictees of PBB Celebrity Collab 2.0, announced live and on-air (Reich Alim and Waynona Collings)
Reich Alim of Star Magic and Waynona Collings of Sparkle. These two housemates from Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0, after all three weeks of their staying inside, including the other nominees and safe housemates, are officially evicted from the house as seen in the recently-aired 1st Eviction Night of the edition, broadcasted live on-air and online this evening, November 15, 2025. You might also heard the newest eviction song for that edition of PBB as well during the live eviction broadcast as well, sung by one of the PBB Collab 1.0 ex-Kapamilya Housemate.
This eviction of these two housemates (one Kapuso and one Kapamilya, as implied in the Collab 2.0 Big Twist, or Quadros Twist) was happened as a result of receiving 11.69% of votes for Reich and 43.06% of votes for Waynona, when compared to the safe housemates in the first set of nominations, Fred Moser (88.31%) and Princess Aliyah (56.94%), in which the percentage of Fred’s BBS Votes was a landslide safetyness from eviction in 1st nominated set of Kapamilya housemates.
These two safe and two evicted housemates are part of the “Rays of Sunshine” team, who were nominated last Saturday with the most number of nomination points of 12, which are done by the other groups during the nomination process, while they didn’t completed the Ligtask Challenge on the day of the 1st Nomination Night. In their 1st Ligtask Challenge, using a Giant Marker, they have to draw the gigantic maze to the right way while the housemates have to use their feet with a string connected to the marker. The faster the group to complete, they will be ineligible for Nomination Voting, which ended up to being safe, while the others get nominated. Doing the marking in the maze wrong will have a “+5-second” violation.
In the 1st Nomination Night of PBB Collab 2.0 last November 9, 2025, other teams like AntoQuinSElla, Caramel MaCuteSy, and Fighting Sweethearts also didn’t finished the task, and in the 1st Nomination Tally of PBB Collab, all teams, except for Fighting Sweethearts team that received no points, did received four (4) nomination points each. While for Team Adorable Task Smashers, composed of Ashley Sarmiento, Eliza Borromeo, Lee Victor, and Miguel Vergara, was the only one to complete the Ligtask faster of 4 minutes and 29 seconds (4m 29s).
In the past few days (Week 3), we have witnessed a special task for Caprice Cayetano, one of the Sparkle housemates of PBB Collab 2.0 who celebrated her birthday a day after the 1st Nomination Night (November 10, 2025) which turned 17 years old when it happened. Other serious talks of the housemates between those from Sparkle and those from Star Magic was also seen, as well as their Rewarding Task by shooting the feathers into the basket 29 times, by blowing with it during the 60-minute period.
On the Eviction portion of the broadcast, when Reich and Waynona are declared ex-housemates from the PBB House in Collab 2.0 edition, you might also heard the newest eviction song of the edition, and that was “Sa Isang Kisap”, sung by Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 1.0’s Ex-Kapamilya Housemate, Klarisse de Guzman, as written and produced by Jonathan Manalo. The said song’s lyric video is now available for streaming on Star Music YouTube Channel, with it’s digital streaming part of it will soon to become available on all platforms by Friday, November 21, 2025.
