The iconic “Bahay ni Kuya” has officially reopened its doors for the launch of “Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11,” introducing a fresh set of housemates ready to tackle Kuya’s tasks, share their inspiring stories, and compete for the title of the next Big Winner in ABS-CBN’s long-running reality competition.
From a pool of 35,906 hopefuls who auditioned both on-ground and online, only 15 have made it into the Big Brother house for its 11th season.
The first five housemates were revealed last week on “StarHunt: The Audition Show.” They include the “Determined Daughter ng Camarines Sur” Therese Villamor, the “Astig Volleybae ng Pampanga” Dylan Yturralde, the “Maabilidancing Dong ng South Cotabato” Binsoy Namoca, the “Singing Gwapa ng Cebu” Kai Montinola, and the “Charming Crooner ng London” Jarren Garcia.
During the premiere on July 20, the remaining housemates were introduced: “Sporty-Go-Lucky Kuya ng Camarines Norte” Marc Nanninga Jr., “Cheerfu-Langga ng Cebu” Rain Celmar, “Lola-loving Apo ng Occidental Mindoro” Kanata Tapia, “Ma-cute-lit na Raketera ng General Santos” Kolette Madelo, and “Poginsyanong Pilo-ToBe ng Quezon” JM Ibarra. Joining them are “Optimistic Ate ng Dumaguete” Jas Dudley-Scales, “Mombitious Chikadora ng Lithuania” Noime Steikunas, “Seamanluluto ng Bacolod” Brx Ruiz, and the 2-in-1 housemates “Charismatic Partner ng Taguig” Dingdong Bahan and “Go-Getter Partner ng Manila” Patrick Ramirez.
Now inside the Big Brother house, these housemates will face Kuya’s latest series of tasks designed to test their character and camaraderie over the next 100 days.
However, right from the start, the 15 hopefuls are put to the test as Kuya announced that they are staying in as house guests, with only 11 to be named as the official housemates of “PBB Gen 11.”
As the new season kicks off, PBB expressed gratitude to its co-presenting brands for making this season possible. Cream Silk and Ponds served as the on-ground and online audition partners, Maya as the official voting partner, and Lazada as its livestream partner.
Stay updated with the latest happenings inside Kuya’s house in “Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11,” hosted by Kim Chiu, Robi Domingo, Enchong Dee, Alexa Ilacad, Melai Cantiveros, and Bianca Gonzalez. The show airs Mondays to Fridays at 10:15 PM on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, TV5, and iWantTFC, and every Saturday at 8:30 PM and Sunday at 9:30 PM on the same platforms.
