Pinoy Big Brother: Connect is the ninth main and fifteenth season of Pinoy Big Brother which premiered on December 6, 2020, on both A2Z and Kapamilya Channel. The show was also simulcast and digitally streamed via ABS-CBN's entertainment website, iWantTFC (on-demand streaming service) and Kapamilya Channel's Kapamilya Online Live in Facebook and YouTube;[1] live feeds of the House were also shown on Kumu, an online streaming platform. With the blocktime arrangement inked between ABS-CBN and TV5, the show aired on free television broadcast from March 8 until its finale.[2][3]

Toni Gonzaga, Bianca Gonzalez, and Robi Domingo reprised their roles as hosts.[1] Meanwhile, new digital hosts joined the show: Richard Juan was the host for the show's online updates; while Enchong Dee and Melai Cantiveros were the hosts for the show's online companion programs across various online platforms.[4] Kim Chiu, Edward Barber, and Maymay Entrata were earlier reported to host online contents for the program (with Chiu and Entrata having joined the official launch and the Big Night respectively, while Barber only appeared on the Big Night, acting for the Comedy sketch as one of the housemates),[4] but were never seen doing their hosting stints in the succeeding events of the show; Dee and Cantiveros, on the other hand, were occasionally seen to host the afternoon online companion show.

This was the first season where the show was not being aired on ABS-CBN after the said network was ordered by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to cease and desist its free-to-air television and radio broadcast operations on May 5, 2020, following the lapse of its congressional franchise.[5] The network also failed to secure a renewal of its congressional franchise after its renewal bid was rejected by the House of Representatives on July 10, 2020.[6]

Also before the show's grand finale, this was the first time and season that to be aired on TV5 due to ABS-CBN's legislative franchise renewal issue and to the partnership agreement of the two networks. Spanned beginning March 8 until March 13 (which is the finale week), and March 14, 2021 (which is the Big Night).

This was the fifth consecutive time that both civilian adults and teenagers participated in one season, and the first time since the All In season to house them together as just one batch. Among all regular and special seasons, this season was the season with the shortest number of days (99) of which a group of housemates representing an entire season have stayed in the House.[7]

The show concluded on March 14, 2021, with Liofer Pinatacan declared as the Big Winner.[8][9]

Development[]

With the cessation of the television broadcast operations of ABS-CBN by the NTC on May 5, 2020,[5] the continuity of the local Big Brother franchise was left uncertain. No news or information were provided by the network nor by the production team behind the show of the fate of the said franchise. However, on October 16, 2020, Pinoy Big Brother hinted an announcement for a possible return of the show.[10] On October 18, 2020, on ASAP Natin 'To!, it was officially announced that a new season will air and the said season will be called Pinoy Big Brother: Connect. No physical auditions will be held; instead all auditions will be done online.[11]

ABS-CBN's Television Production Head Unit and the Head Director of the Pinoy Big Brother franchise, Laurenti Dyogi, revealed in an interview of an episode of TV Patrol that Pinoy Big Brother: Connect will push through in November 2020, although the exact date was not mentioned.[12] However, it was later confirmed that Pinoy Big Brother: Connect will begin on December 6, 2020.[1] Dyogi also revealed that the ninth season to take place at the current situation of the network and of the country was unplanned, and that it had only prospered after the show had partnered with Kumu.[13]

The number of housemates that will take part in this season was initially lowered to 12,[12] making this season with the fewest housemates in Pinoy Big Brother history, surpassing the first regular season of Pinoy Big Brother, the season that had only 13 housemates. However, it was later confirmed via online PBB: KUMUlitan show with Robi Domingo and Lie Reposposa that 18 aspiring housemates will be taking part this season.[14]

Auditions[]

Pinoy Big Brother: Connect was first revealed during the October 18, 2020 episode of ASAP Natin 'To!, along with new audition mechanics for this season.[11] Owing to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, the auditions and its program were held using Kumu, a Filipino online streaming platform.[15] Auditions were opened for ages 16 to 35 years-old.[16][17] The auditions were opened on October 19, 2020;[11] it ended on November 11, 2020.[18]

For an aspiring housemate to join Pinoy Big Brother: Connect, they must create a Kumu account and record a 1-minute video wherein they will be introducing themselves and why they want to join Pinoy Big Brother. Afterwards, they were required to upload it on Kumu and use the hashtag #PBBkumuaudition; a maximum of one entry per account. If an auditionee was accepted as one of the shortlisted hopefuls, they will then receive a message from a PBB executive via Kumu.[16][19][20] At the end of the online auditions via Kumu, a total of 177,524 audition entries were submitted for this season—the highest in the entire history of the franchise.[21][22]

COVID-19 precautions[]

Pinoy Big Brother: Connect had some notable changes due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Prior to the premiere of Pinoy Big Brother: Connect on December 6, 2020, the Pinoy Big Brother house was thoroughly disinfected, the hosts, crew, and the housemates of the show also went onto a PCR testing, and social distancing was also being observed inside the house as the preventive measure from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[23][24] There is also no audience present on the premiere night of the show on December 6, 2020.[25]

Timeslot[]

The show aired daily on Mondays to Fridays at 10:00 p.m. after Walang Hanggang Paalam, on Saturdays at 10:00 p.m. after Maalaala Mo Kaya, and on Sundays at 8:30 p.m. after Your Face Sounds Familiar. The show's companion show, Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunect Tayo, aired daily via Kumu, Facebook, and YouTube at 5:00 p.m. for its afternoon show, while it follows the main show's schedule for its evening show.

Also, in this season, evictions regularly occurred on Sundays, while the lists of nominees were usually revealed on Mondays or Tuesdays.

The show did not air on December 20, 2020, as it was pre-empted by ABS-CBN's Christmas Special.

Prizes[]

The winner of this season won a unit from PHirst Park Homes and a cash prize of one million pesos from Brilliant Skin Essentials.[8][26] The second, third and fourth big placers received five hundred thousand pesos, three hundred thousand pesos and two hundred thousand pesos, respectively.[8]

Format[]

Each week, each participating housemate had to nominate two people for eviction with the first receiving two points and the second with one point. The housemates with the most votes (usually three) will then face the public vote with the nominee receiving the fewest votes (through a save to evict voting system) being evicted from the house. The format however may be altered as seen in Day 49 where the Co-HoHs directly nominated two nominees each and in Day 81 where the housemates ranked their housemates rather than the usual nomination process.

As a punishment or as a consequence, Big Brother can automatically nominate additional housemates if they had incurred violations or have failed a specific task. Big Brother can also give immunity to those who have succeeded in winning a challenge or a task. Sometimes, Big Brother can suspend the nomination process or moved the nominations to a later date in lieu of the result of a pending challenge or task.

Twists[]

  • Partnership with KUMU
    • KUMUnity Housemate Selection – The last three official housemates were chosen by the public out of the 117 hopefuls via the Kumu app. From December 6 to 27, these hopefuls were tasked to make livestream videos and had engagements with the public via Kumu. Those three hopefuls who received the most diamonds by the public during the said duration became the official housemates.[23]
    • In every weekly task, the housemates were given the privilege to do livestreams in order to earn diamonds; these diamonds were used to buy materials for the tasks or to buy practice time for their routines, to name a few.
    • Kumu users were given more percentage in the vote-to-evict or vote-to-save system: they were given a weight of 70% in the total votes compared with the 30% weight of votes coming from SMS. This set-up was later altered to 1 Kumu vote was equivalent to 10 SMS votes.
    • Kumu users, through public poll within the app, were sometimes given the privilege to suggest punishments for the housemates as a consequence for the violations they have incurred. They were also given the opportunity to decide on several things, such as: whether to increase the items needed in a task or challenge, to increase the difficulty of a task or challenge, or in how will Big Brother announce new twists to the housemates.[22]
    • Padaluck – Last used in the Lucky 7 season, the Kumu users had the chance to give an advantage to a housemate. The advantage was given to the housemate who had received the most "padalucks" through Kumu's livestream gifting system. This twist was also used in the fourth and succeeding Heads on Household challenges.
    • Kumu Houseguests – Kumu users compete and win via Kumu for two slots as houseguests; as houseguests, they stayed in the House and joined the housemates in their weekly task for a certain number of days.[27]
  • Heads of Household – Last used in Unlimited, those who earned the title were granted immunity from being nominated in the upcoming nomination week.
  • Instant Nominations during the Launch Night – If the housemates failed to finish their first task during the launch night, three of them will be nominated instantly.[23]
  • Isolation Area – During the launch night and after finishing their first task, the Heads of Households named three housemates who stayed and lived in an isolation area. They were not allowed to cross the demarcated line unless when allowed by Big Brother. The only way for them to join the other housemates was to successfully finish Big Brother's secret tasks.[23]
  • Vote-to-Save or Vote-to-Evict System – Last used in the 737 season, the public were allowed to vote for the housemate they want to save or evict.[28]
  • Supercharged Challenges – For the fifth Heads of Household challenges, other housemates challenged the holders of the HoH titles. At the end of the challenges, the two housemates who won were immune for two consecutive weeks.
    • Supercharged Power – The two Heads of Household housemates who earned their titles during the Supercharged Challenges were given the power to exclusively nominate the other housemates for eviction.[29]
    • Power of Veto – The Heads of Household had the power to remove a housemate in the list of nominees for eviction.
      • This power was also used after the two weeks of Supercharged Challenges. The power was given to a group of housemates who won a competition; this power was a collective power and that the housemate that got the most votes from the members of this group receives the power of veto medallion and is saved automatically from the nominations.
  • Delika-Dos – The performance of the housemates in a challenge determined if one or two housemates will be evicted during the sixth eviction night.[30]
  • Rank-based Nomination – Instead of nominating two housemates for eviction, the housemates ranked all the remaining housemates—including themselves— from the most favored to the least favored to be included in the Big 4. The most favored received the fewest point (for ranked 1st, 1 point); the least favored received the most points (the last in rank, 8 points). This twist was last used in Lucky 7 season.
  • Big 4 Karapatdapat Challenges – For the second to the last week of the season, and in order to determine the four finalists, all housemates participated in a series of challenges to determine their respective Big 4 slots. But unlike in all previous seasons, winning one challenge did not automatically guaranteed a housemate's slot for the Big 4 as he or she may be challenged and may have to defend his or her position in the last two Challenger challenges. This twist was the first time in the franchise's history that all Big 4 slots were determined by a series of challenges as previous seasons usually determined their Big 4 via a mix of public voting and use of challenges.[22] This twist was similar to the concept of the Supercharged Challenges Heads of Household twist.

Overview[]

[]

The logo for Pinoy Big Brother: Connect still used its graphical eye, (first introduced in the previous season) in which the eye features motifs inspired by and colors taken from the Philippine flag. The outline of the house which was used before in the logo of Pinoy Big Brother: Otso was later removed. The colors of the text were also changed from the previous navy blue color now with a slightly lighter blue. The color of the season text in the logo was emphasized with a bright yellow and an orange gradient.

House[]

The Pinoy Big Brother house was refurnished with new furniture in the living room, the bedroom, and the dining area. There were no major changes in the house interior, which still follows the original design used in Pinoy Big Brother: Otso. The house façade was decorated with Christmas decorations due to Christmas already drawing near at the start of the season.

Housemates[]

A week prior to the entry of the first 12 housemates, the identities of two housemates were revealed daily via It's Showtime! and TV Patrol. Officially, the first 12 housemates entered during the premiere night of the show on December 6, 2020. Among them, 6 were adults, while the remaining 6 were teenagers.

It was later announced that 6 more housemates will soon be introduced in the upcoming episodes after accomplishing their mandatory 14-day quarantine. Three of the additional housemates were already pre-selected and were completing their own isolation periods before their entry, including one from France whose travel to the Philippines in order to compete was facilitated by the production staff. The other three were selected via Kumu; they vied among 117 hopefuls in various series of livestream challenges in three different stages.[23] The selection process began on December 6 and ended on December 26. As of January 24, 2021, the three new housemates have already entered the House, after completing the required health clearances, including mandatory quarantine, psychological test, and COVID-19 test.[31][32]

Housemate selection via Kumu[]

The final three housemates were selected via Kumu. 117 hopefuls competed in various series of livestream challenges in three different stages. The 9 remaining hopefuls were then divided in groups based on their traits, namely Matatag (Steadfast), Madiskarte (Resourceful), and Malakas ang Loob (Courageous). Each group competed in different weeks. The Top diamond earners in each group will become the last three housemates to enter the house for the season.

Amanda Zamora, Gail Banawis and Glenda Victorio were initially reported to be the winners of the campaign. However, due to Victorio withdrawing in her sequester, she was replaced by Quincy Villanueva, the runner-up in her team.

Houseguests[]

Unlike those in previous seasons where houseguests normally visit the House, most of the houseguests for this season participated via video conferencing only. Sometimes, they were ordered by Big Brother to do some tasks, such as: to help, to coach, or to judge various tasks or challenges of the housemates.

Online or virtual guesting
  • Coach Anne Jeline Salandanan contacted the house to coach the housemates for their weekly task and to judge their performances alongside Kim Chiu.
  • Fifth Pagotan contacted the housemates, specifically the task leaders to give them advice for their Pinoy Big Digital Film weekly task with Enchong Dee as an acting consultant. Director Ted Boborol, Edward Barber and Maymay Entrata contacted the house to judge the housemates' film for the weekly task.
  • Nene Tamayo and Slater Young contacted the house to mentor and judge the 3 bosses and to eliminate 1 group for the 3 bosses task.
  • Yamyam Gucong and Fumiya Sankai contacted the house as visitors during the P-pop Week weekly task for an undisclosed reason.
Physical guesting
  • Mickey Perz, Anna Graham and Jerwin Nicomedez entered the house with Perz coaching the housemates with choreography, Graham with the females' vocals, and Nicomendez with the males' vocals for their P-pop week weekly tasks, in addition, Perz also coached the housemates virtually for a certain period of time. BINI and BGYO also visited the House.
  • Kumu houseguest winners Christian Bahaya and Russco Jarviña, and Top 9 Kumu shortlisted aspiring housemates Dale Patrick Chua and Glenda Victorio entered as special houseguests who served as Big Brother's assistants in one of the Big Jump challenges.

Tasks[]

Weekly tasks[]

As part of every season, weekly tasks are given in order for the housemates to earn their weekly groceries. However, as part of this season's twist, the housemates are allowed to do Kumu livestreams so that viewers can help with their weekly tasks. The diamonds (in-app gifting currency) they will earn from livestreaming can be used to purchase supplies for their tasks or to pay for minutes to practice their routines, to name a few.

Floating Bridge
The housemates must create a floating bridge in the pool area using only thirteen items of their choice. However, as later known in the middle of the week, for them to get the requested items, they must first get thirteen points by shooting blocks to a basketball ring (each point is equivalent to one item; they earned only three points).

For them to succeed in their first weekly task, one after another, selected eight housemates must be able to cross the bridge from one end of the pool to the other. Once all of the eight housemates were able to cross, they must cross the bridge at the same time and go back to the starting point. If anyone falls while crossing the floating bridge at any given point, they will have to go back at the start and have all the eight housemates cross the bridge again. They were given only five tries to cross the bridge.[59][60]

Human Christmas Tree
The housemates must form a Christmas tree using their bodies on designated spots located in different areas of the House and they must be able to make a formation within one minute. The duration of each of the formations will vary and depend on the location. Furthermore, if the housemates stepped outside the designated Christmas tree spots, it would be considered a violation. The task would start with 7 people but the number of people forming the Christmas tree would increase every day. However, the week's nominees (Aizyl, Justin, and Mika) must always be part of the formation and they are only given five times (initially three, but was increased after winning livestream tasks) to make mistakes.
Passed
4 December 29
(Day 23)
Jump Rope
The housemates will be divided into two groups, each headed by the current week's heads of household (Ella and Haira). Each group must be able to make jump rope performances. They will only be considered successful if each group will be able to perform the following jump rope moves: basic bounce, skier, side swing, the winter, and 2-man jump. They will be given only three allowable mistakes per performance (Ella's team was given an additional three allowable mistakes after winning an advantage through a ddakji game). If a group exceeds the allowable number of mistakes, that group will fail the task. In addition, at least three persons are required to do the jump rope tricks at any given point during the performance. Each group is allotted 50% of the week's budget.

In addition to the weekly budget, the group with the most successful performance will be immune from the nominations for the following week, while only the members of the other group will be allowed to be nominated.

In Day 27, additional rewards will be given to either of the teams that will win: that Ella's siblings or Haira's siblings will be given gadgets for their online schooling.

Pinoy Big Biker
Within five days, the housemates are tasked to cycle 1000 km using two stationary bikes (500 km for each bike) provided by Big Brother. They are only given five hours per day to do the task. However, they will have to stop every time they will encounter a roadblock; these roadblocks are given randomly. For them to return to cycling, they are required to successfully accomplish the roadblock tasks. They will have to manage their time per day since the timer will not stop for the roadblock tasks. If they fail to accomplish a roadblock task, they will be given a penalty.

Pinoy Big Digital Film
The housemates are tasked to create a film about the life story of one housemate whose story will be chosen by the task leaders. After a story audition, task leaders Ralph and Andrea chose Jie-Ann's story. They are given only 16 straight hours to produce the film, including an 8-hour limit for minors. At the end of this designated period, they must earn an average of 80% from four judges to win the task.[61]

Human Batteries
Every time they will hear the last few seconds of the season's theme song, the housemates must form a line and physically connect themselves by wrapping one's arm into another's back; they are given only ten seconds to form a line. The individuals at both ends of the line are the only people allowed to use their free hands. They are only allowed to disband once they hear the "power off" sound. With only three allowable mistakes, they will fail the task if, in any instance, they will disconnect at the wrong time and without the proper signal.

Note that all the housemates are required to wear a vest with a battery-like strap placed onto it. If Big Brother instructs any of them to remove the "battery" due to any reason (e.g., failure in a task or challenge), that housemate will have to act slowly as a consequence of being "low in battery." They will also have to include a mannequin that represents Gail (Gail's live video feed can be seen in a tablet strapped in the mannequin's head) in the said task.

3 Bosses
The three housemates (Gail, Jie-Ann, and Quincy) ranked lowest by all of them were made as bosses for a company that each of them will head for. Except for food, all companies can sell anything via Kumu livestream. The bosses will have the exclusive authority to decide on their company names and what they will sell; they are also the only persons in charge of management of the affairs of their respective companies. The bosses will also have to make their business presentations and invite the other housemates to work for them. Each boss initially selected up to four housemates only.

After a presentation of the three companies to mentors Nene Tamayo and Slater Young, Jie-ann's company was dissolved because her company was not selected by either mentor. As a result, she was automatically given 2 points for the next nomination, and she and her employees were selected by the remaining bosses through arm wrestling (bunong braso) matches between members of the remaining companies.

Each company was given fifteen thousand pesos (P15,000) as capital and each must earn a net profit of at least fifteen thousand pesos (P15,000) for them to win their task.

In addition to the weekly budget, the group with the highest income will be immune from the nominations for the following week, while only the members of the other group will be allowed to be nominated.

Big Card Castle
The housemates will build a castle made out of large playing cards and should be at least 7 feet high. The housemates should work in pairs, may use only one hand each, and must have their non-free hands connected while they are working. There is a specific build area where housemates are only permitted to work. Also, another pair should be seated on the thrones in the middle while the task is being done. This pair, which may be changed any time, may only enter and exit through a small passageway that is fixed and will be incorporated into the castle, and both of them should wear the provided crown and garments. Any violation of these results in a throne timer, set at 30 minutes at the beginning of the task, being run until the violations are fixed.[62]

P-pop Week
The housemates must form two P-pop groups. They need to dance and sing three songs: one that will be performed by the boys, another by the girls, and the last by all housemates. But prior to their performances, they need to go a week-long intensive training with P-pop groups BGYO and BINI, as well as dance coach Mickey Perz and each P-pop group's voice coaches.

To win this task, they need to earn 10 million Kumu diamonds from their music videos and performances until 8 pm of the day after the performances.

In order of performance:

  1. "Pinoy, Salamat" (performed by Amanda, Andrea, Ella, and Jie-Ann)

Charity task
This task will also be a special task wherein they will have to transfer 1000 ping-pong balls by fanning these balls one by one from one horshoe to another that are placed on a slanted and uneven table (later on, multiple blocks were added to make the task more difficult). If they will win this task, they will win the House of Hope Foundation, Inc. (a non-government organization that runs a charity psychiatric facility in Barangay Lumbia, Cagayan de Oro City) a maximum of P50,000; 1 ball transferred is equivalent to P50.

If they will successfully transfer all the ping-pong balls within the period set by Big Brother, they will win their weekly budget.

Failed
(earned P48,800)
Notes
  1. ^ The housemates received only 50% of their budget after Ella's team committed 6 mistakes, which was their maximum number of allowable mistakes. The other 50% was forfeited after Haira's team committed 10 mistakes, which was more than their 3 allowable mistakes.
  2. ^ The housemates can earn 1% for every 500 thousand diamonds. However, they earned only 10%, equivalent to 5 million diamonds. To reach the average of 80%, they would have needed at least 46%, equivalent to 23 million diamonds.
  3. ^ Despite failing to win their weekly task, Big Brother still gave 71% of their weekly budget as a reward for their efforts for the weekly task.

Other tasks[]

Aside from the weekly tasks, the housemates were also given other significant tasks. These tasks usually involve rewards for someone special, some may include nomination or eviction twists as a consequence of failing such tasks, some were required to be done secretly, some may involve a combination of two or more types of tasks, or very difficult punishments.

While performing the task, any of the parts of their bodies were not allowed to touch the floor; they were also required to finish the task within 10 minutes. If they failed to finish the task, three housemates will be nominated for eviction.[23]

5 Secret Tasks
In order for the isolated housemates to finally join the other housemates in the House, they must succeed in finishing three out of five tasks. It was also revealed that their isolation were made to mirror three more other housemates' current situation who are yet to be revealed and who are currently isolated and quarantined due to the show's health protocols against COVID-19.[23]

Secret reward task Football Juggling
Chico and Kobie must do football juggles around a designated area. Each of them must complete one round of football juggle, and then kick the ball for a goal. Later in the middle of the task, the level of difficulty is increased: one must do a round of football juggle; once completed, he must then pass it to the other for him to do a goal. Each of them is required to do 50 goals for a total of 100 goals.[63]

Prior to the start of the challenge, Chico and Kobie were instructed separately that this task is a secret sacrifice task for the other. The rewards were: to let Chico's father see him perform their weekly task, and to let Kobie talk with his father.[63][64]

Reward task Connect Gifts (Sleigh task)
The housemates must be able to make 2020 laps while pulling a big sleigh (that contains their gifts for their respective families; the sleigh also weighs 632 kilos) through a provided track around the activity area. They must be able to do the task within two days. Only two housemates are allowed to pull the sleigh at each time.

Later on, the number of rounds is decreased to 1545 laps after they have managed to win a task during their Kumu livestream. Also, the other housemates decided to secretly sacrifice their gifts in order to make the sleigh lighter. Acting on Alyssa's suggestion, they prioritized the gifts of Aizyl, Haira, Jie-Ann, and Liofer.

Safety task Delika-dos
The housemates have to stack-up cups up to 13 levels on top of a table. Once they are successful in stacking up the cups, they will then have to transfer the tabletop to another spot without having any of the cups fall down.

If successful, just like in other evictions, only one housemate will be evicted during the eviction night; if not, two housemates will be evicted.

Punishment Connect the Pipes
Owing to the total of 56 violations committed by the housemates, they were required to transfer 56 pingpong-sized balls falling from the pipes in the activity area to a container placed at the garden by using only the pipes placed on their respective helmets. A housemate is not allowed to move by foot once the ball is already on his head (note that they may transfer several balls in one go). Upon reaching the pool area, they will then have to transfer the balls to a scale provided until the said scale tilts to an equilibrium. As each ball represents an item taken by Big Brother, every ball they will successfully transfer is equivalent to an item Big Brother will return to them.[65]

They can only proceed to the activity area upon Big Brother's signal. Note that each of the housemates are also wearing orange vests with pockets, some of which contain weights. The number of weights each housemate is wearing depends on the number of violations each has committed.[66]

Challenges[]

Heads of Household[]

Every week, each of the Housemates will undergo challenges to become one of the two Heads of Household. Becoming a Head of Household will earn them immunity from being nominated in that particular week.

For the fourth Heads of Household challenge, the Padaluck twist was implemented. It gave an advantage to a housemate who had received the most Kumu gifts.

KUMU livestream
Prior to the entry of the first 12 housemates, they were given a challenge to do livestreams. Unknown to them, the two housemates who have earned the most livestream gifts will become the Heads of Household. The winners were only revealed during their entry to the house in the launch night.

(Day 11)
Bucket of Water
In the first part of the challenge, in pairs, the housemates must hold and carry with them a bucket of water. Their hands are not allowed to move away from the bucket unless instructed by Big Brother. If in any case a hand moved away from the bucket, a glass of water will be deducted from the volume of a pair's bucket. At the end of this part, the water in the bucket will be used as an initial load to the drum they are to use in the second part of the challenge.

In the second part of the challenge, the pairs must transfer a bucket of water to an empty drum. Except for their hands, they must use their bodies to transfer the water to their respective buckets. The pair with the most water transferred within three minutes wins the Heads of Household titles.

Kyron, Russu

Larong Loro (Parrot Game)
Each of the housemates must memorize the exact order of the sounds of the animals flashed on the screen. After memorizing the animals, they must traverse a series of platforms and must reach the end point. If in any point they fell from a platform, they will be penalized (additional time will be given). At the end point, they will parrot or make the sounds of the animals they have memorized in the right order. If they cannot be able to parrot the sounds in the correct order, they may return to the starting point to see again the chronological order of the animals. The two housemates with the fastest time to parrot the sounds correctly in the right order will become the Heads of Household for this week.
Ella, Haira
4 January 12
(Day 37)
Four Sisters and a Wedding
Individually, the housemates were required to watch a scene from the movie Four Sisters and a Wedding. After watching it, they were then informed that they have to gather five items by answering five questions correctly. However, to gather the items, they will have to use a boom microphone to pick the items and place these items in a box corresponding to the question being asked. The two housemates with the fastest time to finish the challenge will become the Heads of Household for the week.

Padaluck recipient: Andrea (will have to answer three questions only)

Andrea, Liofer
5 January 19–21
(Days 45-47)
Supercharged Challenges
The housemates will have to battle with each other in a series of challenges. The first challenge will determine who will sit on the Heads of Household thrones. In the succeeding challenges, only two housemates who will get one of the two flags may challenge one of the occupants of the two thrones; the one being challenged will then choose between the two challengers in whom he will compete (the one not chosen will automatically be included in the group of housemates who may be nominated). Each housemate has three chances to get a flag and challenge the current throne holder. If a challenger succeeds, he will replace the current holder. The losing housemate also loses his battery and can become nominated in the next nomination.

At the end of all the challenges, the last two standing housemates will become Heads of Household for two weeks.

Note that the names stricken out in the table were the ones who were able to get one of the flags, but were not chosen by the throne occupants to battle with.

Chico, Alyssa

Ligtask[]

The Ligtask challenge, carried over from previous seasons, were usually held in lieu of the Heads of Household challenge.

Before the Ligtask challenge, the public has a chance (via Kumu) to give an advantage to a housemate. The advantage will be given to the housemate who has received the most "padalucks" (done through Kumu's livestream gifting system). At the end of the challenge, the winner will be saved from becoming one of the nominees.

Each housemate must transfer a plastic bottle from point A to point B (the distance between each point is 14 feet) using only a tied pencil hanged from his or her back. They are not allowed to use their hands nor are allowed to touch the floor. The housemate with the shortest time to finish the challenge will be saved from being nominated.[67]

In the pool area, each housemate must dive and flip four letter coins using only their hands. Behind each coins are numbers that they will add to come up with a code to unlock a box with a numeric lock. Inside the box contains a red flag, which they need to mount on a stand beside the box in order to finish the task. The housemate with the shortest time to finish the task wins immunity.

Game of Hearts Challenges
For Week 10, all housemates were automatically nominated. Each of them can, however, remove his or her status as a nominated housemate if he or she will win in any of the Ligtask challenges called the Game of Hearts Challenges. Winning a challenge bars a housemate from participating in the other succeeding challenges.

Trios task[68]
The housemates were divided into three groups of three: first group consist of Kobie, Liofer and Ralph; second group is Amanda, Ella and Quincy; and the third group is Andrea, Chico and Jie-Ann.

Each group will have one retriever and two builders. The retriever will have to collect 90 dominos in two separate rounds; while each of the two builders, in two separate rounds, will have to build the domino lines.

For the first round, with the activity area as the starting point, the retriever will have to collect all the 90 dominos scattered around the garden area and bring them to the activity area. After collecting all the dominos, the first builder will then line up all the dominos from the starting point to the gold bar placed at the end of the first platform. Once all the dominos are lined up, the builder will have to tumble down all the dominos one after another until the gold bar is toppled and fall to a container. In the event that any of or all the dominos will fall without completely finishing the domino line, the builder will have to line them up from the start or from the last domino standing.

If the first builder is successful in the first round, the retriever will then have to collect the second set of dominos: Ten bags (each bag has nine dominos) placed in the pool. He or she will then hand the second set of dominos to the second builder who will have to do same task the first builder did.

The group with the shortest time to finish the task will be saved from eviction, while the two other groups will be the only housemates who can be nominated for eviction.

Big Jump[]

To determine this season's Big 4, all housemates participated in a series of challenges that was quite different from the Big Jump of the other previous seasons. All Big 4 slots were determined by all of these challenges—a deviation from the other seasons' Big Jump twist where the public's vote also played as a determining factor in choosing the final four. The series of challenges were called Big 4 Karapatdapat Challenges (Big 4 Worthy Challenges) and tested the housemates qualities: their self-trust, sense of camaraderie, resourcefulness and being steadfast.

Also as part of the twist, winning any of the Big 4 slot did not automatically guarantee their place for the Big Night as the winning housemates had to defend their spots against the two challengers chosen by the public to challenge them and take their positions.

(Day 86)
1st Karapatdapat Challenge — Tiwala sa Sarili (Self-trust)
Moments after the 10th eviction, the housemates were first asked if they will participate in this challenge despite not knowing what the challenge will be. They were also informed that if anyone will win the challenge, they will be greatly rewarded, not knowing that the reward will be a Big 4 slot; however, if any of them will fail, a big consequence will be given to them. Among all the housemates who accepted the challenge, only Chico declined to participate.

After the wake-up call on Day 86, the housemates were informed of their first challenge. They were required to throw their designated colored sandbags and make them land on a circular platform placed on top of a high pole from a designated area around the pole. They are allowed to do this challenge at any time they like within 10 hours; any sandbag that will fall during that time will not be counted. The housemate with the most sandbags remaining on top of the pole after 10 hours wins the challenge.

To compensate for their height disadvantage, Andrea and Jie-Ann were allowed to use small platforms to step on.

2nd Karapatdapat Challenge — Pakikisama (Camaraderie)
At the start of the challenge, each of the housemates is given a container with 20 balls. For them to reduce the balls they have at hand, they will have to transfer one ball by balancing it on a paddle to another housemate's container of their choice; this will be done by turns. While balancing their balls on a paddle, each of them will have to follow a pre-determined path while transferring the balls. In the event that a ball falls outside the paddle before being transferred, his or her chance will be forfeited for that round.

The challenge will be divided into two levels: in the first level, the two housemates with the fewest balls in 10 rounds will advance to the second level; and for the second level, within an hour, the two housemates who advanced will transfer their balls now at the same time without waiting for each other's turn. The housemate with the fewest balls within an hour wins the challenge.

Prior to the challenge, the housemates were first asked who they personally think had shown the most trait or sense of comradeship. If they think that that housemate has such trait, they must give that housemate a medal. Liofer received 2 medals from Jie-Ann and Kobie; Chico received 1 medal from Liofer; Jie-Ann received 2 medals from Andrea and Chico; Ralph received 1 medal from Amanda; and Kobie received 1 medal from Ralph. Because Liofer and Jie-Ann received the most medals, they were given an advantage. If used, they cannot be given any ball by any housemate in one round; this advantage can be used at any point of the challenge.

Moments before the challenge, Big Brother announced that those housemates who had received any number of medal in the advantage twist may also help those other housemates who gave them their medals; they were all asked by Big Brother if they will help, but only Chico decided to take one of Jie-Ann's balls and place it in his own container, leaving Jie-Ann with 19 balls at the start of the challenge.

3rd Karapatdapat Challenge — Madiskarte (Resourceful)
Prior to the challenge, Big Brother asked the housemates to collectively vote for a housemate who they think is the pinaka-madiskarte or the most resourceful; the one who got the majority of votes will receive an advantage in the challenge. All the housemates, aside from Liofer himself, voted for Liofer.

For this challenge, each housemate had to be resourceful in building a panungkit or a pole using only the items found in the House; they were given only 5 minutes to collect the items they think are needed to build a pole. Using their poles, they will have to pick four bags placed on a table across the center of the swimming pool; each bag contains a colored set of six tower puzzles. After all bags are collected, they will have to proceed to the build area in order to solve and build their tower puzzles (all towers need to have the same height but the pieces are of unequal lengths). Every time a correct set of 6-towers are built, a ring will be placed above it in order to become the platform for the next set of tower puzzles. If they feel that another housemate is inching closer to completely finishing their own set of towers, they may raise their red flag in order to throw a block and have the chance to destroy that housemate's tower puzzles; a flag may be used anytime in the challenge and if used, all housemates have to temporarily stop while the one who used the flag has enough time to attempt to destroy another's puzzles.

As an advantage for being voted as the most resourceful housemate, Liofer is given a two-minute headstart.

A housemate who completes all the four levels of the 6-tower puzzles wins the challenge.

Only Chico used his red flag, but he is not able to destroy Liofer's tower. Kobie attempted to use his red flag, however he wasn't given the chance to destroy a tower of his choice as Liofer simultaneously finished his tower.

4th Karapatdapat Challenge — Matatag (Steadfast)
Prior to the challenge, the housemates and the Kumu houseguests were asked who they think among the housemates who did not won any Big 4 slot yet is the strongest or most steadfast. Chico (Kumu houseguests' choice) and Kobie (the housemates' choice) received the most votes and were given an advantage in the upcoming challenge: a 5-minute rest which they can use until the third platform only.

In this challenge, the housemates' endurance and balance will be tested. Each will have to step on four circular, elevated platforms: the first platform having the widest diameter and the last having the smallest diameter. The size of their respective platforms were customized according to the size of their feet.

They will have to stand for 1 hour for the first platform, 2 hours and 30 minutes for the second platform, 3 hours for the third platform, and indefinitely for the last platform; also later in the last platform, they were required to balance using only one of their feet. But prior from moving to one platform to another, they are given 30 seconds to prepare; within the 30 seconds window, they are also allowed to step on the floor.

The last housemate to stay on top of the platform wins the challenge.

Kobie
(4th Big 4 slot)

Challengers[]

There were four Big 4 Karapatdapat Challenges that were played by the seven remaining housemates, each of which determined a holder for a certain Big 4 spot. Unknown to all of them, with four housemates taking the Big 4 spots, the three others who failed to take any of those spots were automatically nominated and had to face the public vote. The two housemates with the highest number of public votes were given a chance to stay and challenge the Big 4 while the housemate with the least vote was evicted.

As challengers, with their identity being hidden to the Big 4, they were required to challenge two housemates. In order for them to win and take any of the Big 4 slots, they must choose and defeat two of the current Big 4 occupants. Failure would mean automatic eviction.

The challenger challenges given by Big Brother were a combination of previous challenges the housemates had participated throughout this season and were exclusively chosen by the public via Kumu.

Amanda and Ralph drew of lots to determine the order of who will they pick to challenge: Amanda got the 2nd and 4th picks while Ralph got the 1st and 3rd picks. Ralph chose Andrea first for the first pick and Kobie for the third pick; Amanda chose Jie-Ann for the second pick and Liofer for the fourth pick. Their identities were revealed prior to the challenge. Before they made themselves known to the housemates, Amanda is known as the white challenger, while Ralph is known as the black challenger.

Transfer the Cup Tower Task
This challenge is a combination of three challenges or tasks that they have done before: the second Ligtask challenge, the first Supercharged Heads of Household challenge, and the deli-kados challenge.

For the first part, they must add three four-digit numbers found at the back of three lettered circles; the sum of these numbers will be used to unlock a black box that contains several red small cups. During this part, audio clips of ex-housemate Justin were played to distract the housemates while they attempted to get the sum of the numbers.

After unlocking the black box, each of them will have to get 105 small cups from the box and place them at the blue table. Afterwards, each of them will have to transfer the cups at the yellow table top and stack them all in order to form a 14-layer cup tower by using only their elbows. After successfully stacking up the cups, he or she will have to transfer the yellow table top to another table found 20 feet across. In case the cups tumble down while transferring the yellow table top, he or she needs to return to the initial position of the table, and he or she will be allowed to use his or her hands to stack up all the cups again. Once the table top is transferred while keeping the 14 cup tower intact, he or she will need to push the buzzer in order to end the challenge.

Catapult Pipe Task
Similar to the previous challenger challenge, this will also be a combination of three challenges or tasks that they have done before: the Trios task in the fourth Ligtask challenge, the Connect the Pipes task in their last punishment, and the first Game of Hearts challenge.

For this challenge, they will have to build an domino line composed of 80 dominoes that will follow a zigzag pattern outlined on top of a black bench; the last piece for this domino line should be a gold bar. After building the domino line, they will have to build a pipeline from a ring to the domino line. Each of them may choose to build the domino line first or to connect the pipes first.

To tumble the domino line at the black platform, they will have to place a ball into a pipe in order for it to fall into a seesaw, and use the seesaw as a catapult to shoot the ball into the said ring. When the ball is shot into the ring, the ball will have to fall into the series of pipes that each of them have connected. The ball should be able to reach the black platform and tumble down all the 80 dominoes one after another until the gold bar is toppled and will fall into a container. In the event that any of or all the dominos will fall without completely finishing the domino line, he or she will have to line them up from the start or from the last domino standing.

Big 4 Tasks[]

During the final days of the season, Big Brother gave the finalists a task. Each task can grant either extra votes to save or the deduction and transfer of vote to evict.

Task No. Date Given Challenge description
1 March 11
(Day 95)
While traversing a path, the housemates will have to balance a ball using an arc-shaped handheld device. If a ball falls or they step out of the path, they must return to the start. At the end of the path, there is a golden chest containing colored pencils. Each time that they can place a ball into a container near the chest, they need to get a pencil of the color corresponding to their assigned color and make it stand still on an image of the show's eye logo. Each pencil placed is equivalent to 50 votes.[69]

Only one finalist at a time can travel along the path.

The task is later modified so that housemates can finish transferring balls first before handling pencils.

Notes
  1. ^ Kyron and Mika were given the Head of Household (HoH) titles after gaining the most Kumu diamonds in their respective Kumu livestreams (the livestreams were made prior to their entry to the House). The HoH titles were given to them prior to the entry of the 10 other housemates. In addition, the housemates were given a task wherein their failure would lead to an instant nomination of three housemates decided by the Heads of Household. However, the housemates can void the said instant nominations by succeeding in their task. The housemates succeeded in their task, which led to having no nominations.[23]
  2. ^ The nominations took place on Day 15 (December 20), but was announced the night after as the December 20 episode was preempted by ABS-CBN's Christmas Special.
  3. ^ Ralph was exempted from the nominations for being a new entrant. He entered the House on Day 15, the day when the first nominations took place.
  4. ^ As a consequence, the nominees were limited only to Haira's team (Aizyl, Crismar, Haira, Kobie, Mika, Ralph and Russu) after they failed to win the jump rope task challenge; Ella's team (Alyssa, Andrea, Chico, Ella, Jie-Ann, Kyron and Liofer) was immune from the nominations. Aizyl, however, was saved from the nominations after winning the Ligtask challenge.[67]
  5. ^ The nominations took place on Day 30 (January 4) and was done pre-recorded; it was aired on the next day (January 5).
  6. ^ Amanda was exempted from the nominations for being a new entrant. She entered the House on Day 36 right after Mika got evicted.
  7. ^ Quincy was exempted from the nominations for being a new entrant. She entered the House on Day 43. Gail, on the other hand, was introduced later in the week to the housemates; the housemates were virtually allowed to interact with her via a tablet. However, at that time, she has not yet entered the House as she was still finishing her quarantine after contracting COVID-19.[91]
  8. ^ Alyssa and Chico, who won the Heads of Household's Supercharged Challenges, were immune for two weeks.
  9. ^ Alyssa and Chico were given the Supercharged Power for winning as the new Heads of Household. It gave them the power to exclusively nominate two housemates each for eviction for this particular week. The other housemates were ineligible to vote, but may be voted by Alyssa or Chico.[29] If in any case, Chico had already chosen a specific housemate, Alyssa cannot nominate that particular housemate and instead must chose another. Housemates that were given automatic nomination by either of the two were given red flags in a face-to-face nomination.[80]
  10. ^ Gail was not exempted from the nominations despite being a new entrant. This was due to the fact that she already had a week of interaction with the housemates as a virtual housemate.
  11. ^ As punishment, Jie-Ann received an additional two points from Big Brother for the nominations after she failed to get a mentor for her company during their weekly task; this was given to her before the nomination process had started.
  12. ^ Andrea and Jie-Ann were saved from the nominations, after Alyssa saved Andrea and Chico saved Jie-Ann by exercising their new given power, the Power of Veto.
  13. ^ Team Dreamer Connect (composed of Quincy as boss; with members: Amanda, Andrea, Chico, Ella, Jie-Ann, and Kobie) won in the last week's weekly task against Team Survibin (composed of Gail as boss; with members: Aizyl, Alyssa, Kyron, Liofer, and Ralph). As a result, the members of Team Dreamer Connect will be immune for the next nominations; while the nominees will be taken from the members of Team Survibin only.
  14. ^ Alyssa won the Ligtask challenge, saving herself from being nominated; Liofer received the Power of veto medallion from Team Dreamer Connect, saving himself from the nominations. With only three housemates (Gail, Kyron and Ralph) left for nominations, there was no need for a nomination process; the last three not saved from the ligtask challenge and not given the power of veto medallion were immediately included in the final list of nominees.
  15. ^ All housemates were automatically nominated as part of this week's twist; they can save themselves through a series of ligtask of challenges: the Game of Hearts Challenges. The following eviction was a double eviction.
  16. ^ For the 10th nominations, the nominations were based on the ranking given by the housemates to each other (including each of themselves). The six housemates with the fewest points will be safe from the eviction, while the last 2 housemates will be part of the list of nominees. For the full detail of the result in this nominations, see Rank-based nomination result.
  17. ^ All the Big 4 slots were determined via a series of challenges called Big 4 Karapatdapat Challenges. Andrea won the first challenge; Jie-Ann, the second; Liofer, the third; and Kobie, fourth.
  18. ^ The three housemates who did not win any of the Big 4 Karapatdapat Challenges were automatically nominated; the two housemates who will be saved in this eviction round will be named "Challengers".
  19. ^ The challengers named by the public will challenge two finalists of their choice in a challenge. The challengers are required to defeat both finalists that they challenge in order to steal a spot in the Big 4.

Power of Veto[]

The Power of Veto was a power given to the winner of certain tasks. The holder of the power is given the chance to automatically save a nominee of their choice from the list of nominees. If the power was given to a group, the group will decide which nominee gets vetoed via a collective vote.

Unlike its American counterpart, no replacement nominee was required to be named making the power controversial among viewers.[92]

Rank-based nomination result[]

For the 10th nomination week, the list of nominees was based on the housemates' rankings. Each housemate will rank all remaining housemates, including themselves. Each rank will receive a specific number of points: the first will receive 1 point; the second with 2 points; and so on until the eighth with 8 points. The total points received by each housemate will determine the final ranking; the housemates in the first six ranks will be saved from becoming part of the final list of nominees, while the housemates who receive the most points will be in the last two ranks and will become the official nominees for the week.

The housemates did not know that their rankings were the basis of this week's nomination until Big Brother mentioned this to them before the announcement of the rankings.

Note that the underlined names in the table below were the rank of the housemates they gave to themselves.

S–E voting system result[]

The following is a summary of the results of the evictions nights that had used the S-E voting system. In this system, a voter may vote to evict or to save a nominee from eviction. The votes to save are then subtracted by the votes to evict which may result in a nominee receiving a negative number of votes as seen in the first, eighth, tenth and eleventh evictions, this also results in the percentages not adding up to one hundred.

The votes were taken from the combined SMS and Kumu votes.

In the second and the succeeding eviction nights, the detailed summary was replaced by a combined net results of both votes from Kumu and SMS without further detailing the results of each medium. The percentage of Kumu's votes being 70% and that of SMS votes comprising 30% of the total votes remained the same.
