Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition is offering former housemates a second opportunity to re-enter the house through an exciting wildcard twist.
On Sunday, May 11, 2025, hosts Bianca Gonzalez and Gabbi Garcia announced that six evicted participants would have the chance to compete for a spot back in the house.
Out of the eight housemates who had been previously evicted, only Michael Sager and Emilio Daez will not participate in the wildcard round, due to other ongoing commitments.
The six contestants who will be vying for a return to the house are AC Bonifacio, Ashley Ortega, Charlie Fleming, Kira Balinger, Josh Ford, and Ralph De Leon. Each will compete individually for one of the two available spots.
One returning housemate will be selected from the Kapamilya camp, and the other from the Kapuso side.
The results of the competition, based on fan votes, will be announced at the end of the week.
Fans Respond, Express Preferences for Returnees
The announcement of the wildcard twist generated a wave of excitement from fans, many of whom took to social media to voice their preferences for which former housemates they would like to see return.
A fan expressed their support for the latest duo evictees, Josh Ford and Ralph De Leon, saying on X (formerly Twitter): “I go for the latest duo evictee. Josh [Ford] and Ralph [de Leon]. BIG 4 MATERIAL. PERIODT.”
Charlie Fleming also garnered support, with some fans pointing out that she had not been given enough “proper screentime” to showcase her abilities and prove herself in the competition.
One viewer expressed their support for Kira Balinger, writing, “Kira [Balinger] deserves this chance [two crying emojis].”
On the other hand, Kapuso actress Ashley Ortega, who, alongside AC Bonifacio, was the first housemate to be evicted from the show, appeared to have strong backing on social media. Many fans are eager to see her return to the PBB house.
One fan said, “I only want Ashley back,” while another simply wrote, “Bring back Ashleyyyyy.”
Ashley also took to Instagram on Sunday to appeal to her supporters. In her post, she expressed her gratitude for the love she’s received and appealed for her fans’ help to secure a return to the show.
"If given another chance, I will continue to fight and make every moment count," Ashley wrote. She added that she would return with a "greater purpose" and "a genuine heart," reinforcing her determination to make the most of her second chance if she is selected.
