On Sunday, March 9, Pinoy Big Brother officially kicked off its newest season titled PBB Celebrity Edition Collab, welcoming stars from both GMA and Star Magic into the “bahay ni Kuya” after a grand reveal.

The ABS-CBN and GMA crossover won’t just be felt with the housemates living in the “bahay ni Kuya,” but also through its hosts: GMA’s Gabbi Garcia and Mavy Legaspi, and ABS-CBN’s Robi Domingo, Bianca Gonzalez, Kim Chiu, Enchong Dee, Melai Cantiveros, and Alexa Ilacad.

This new PBB season comes a year after the two major networks inked a partnership for It’s Showtime.

The previous season, PBB Gen 11, produced stars that have quickly become well-known, with the Big Winner being Sofia “Fyang” Smith, followed by runner-up Rain Celmar, and third and fourth-placers Kolette Madelo and Kai Montinola, respectively.

Other notable housemates from the season include Jarren Garcia and Jas Dudley-Scales.

Pinoy Big Brother is a a reality game show that first aired in 2005. On the show, housemates have to complete a series of tasks given by “kuya,” an anonymous figure who can only be identified through his voice. Each season, there is a “Big 4” set of winners. – Rappler.com
