“Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition” has unveiled a significant twist as 10 previously evicted housemates have returned to the “Bahay ni Kuya” (Big Brother House) as “Duo Challengers.” The surprise announcement, made on social media by the reality show, signals a major shake-up as the “Big Night” draws closer.

The official PBB social media accounts initially teased the twist by sharing a photo of ten figures cloaked in black, with the caption, “The twist is here! Narito na ang Duo Challengers sa Bahay ni Kuya!” (The Duo Challengers are here in Big Brother’s House!). A subsequent video offered a closer look at the mysterious new arrivals, stating, “The Duo Challengers have arrived… and they’re not here to play.”

PBB later confirmed the identities of the challengers as the ten evicted housemates: Klarisse de Guzman, Shuvee Etrata, Vince Maristela, Xyriel Manabat, Josh Ford, Kira Balinger, Michael Sager, Emilio Daez, Ashley Ortega, and AC Bonifacio.

Their re-entry means they will face off against the five remaining duos inside the house: RaWi (Ralph De Leon and Will Ashley), DusBi (Dustin Yu and Bianca De Vera), BreKa (Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca), CharEs (Charlie Fleming and Esnyr), and AZVer (AZ Martinez and River Joseph). The nature of the “challenge” and how it will impact the race to the “Big Four Final Duos” remains to be seen.
