Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0

This season of the Celebrity edition marked a first by featuring celebrity teen housemates drawn from both the talent rosters of ABS-CBN and GMA Network. These housemates were formally introduced in groups during the episode, beginning with Sofia, Joaquin, Marco, and Carmelle, who received their first task letter and were instructed to await further directions in the living room.^[13] They were followed by the second group of Heath, Krystal, Miguel, and Princess;^[14] the third group consisting of Anton, Eliza, Rave, and Waynona;^[15] the fourth group of Iñigo, Caprice, Lee, and Lella;^[16] and finally, the fifth group comprising Clifford, Reich, Fred, and Ashley.^[17]

Once all the housemates were gathered in the living room, they were officially welcomed by Big Brother and informed of their first group task, which was set to double as a celebration for Fred's birthday. Carmelle was instructed to read the details of the challenge.^[18]

• Task given: The task required the housemates to form a continuous human chain stretching from the living room all the way to a podium located in the pool area, where a birthday cake needed to be placed. The rules allowed them to use their clothing and bodies to maintain the connection, but the chain had to remain unbroken at all times; any break would force the group to restart the entire process. Fred had the specific role of being the only one allowed to place the cake onto the podium at the end of the pool area. Successfully completing the challenge would reward all the housemates with a welcome and birthday dinner.

The episode opened with a recap of the housemates’ arrival, showing their entry into the House by groups on their first night. It then proceeded to feature their first official task, during which the housemates completed it for a reward. As part of the reward for winning the task, Fred received a birthday letter from his parents. Afterwards, the housemates were subsequently called and welcomed individually by Big Brother in the Confession Room.

• Task result: The housemates successfully transferred the birthday cake from the living room to the podium in the pool area on their first attempt. As a reward, Big Brother treated them to a welcome dinner and a birthday celebration for Fred.

The episode commenced with a recap of the conclusion of Day 1 inside the House. On the subsequent day, the housemates received their first wake-up call. Later that morning, they opted to establish groups to streamline the assignment of specific household chores. Additionally, the housemates were presented with a Halloween-themed task wherein they were required to enter the House in groups of two, three, or four. A clown will guide them to a "cemetery." Inside the cemetery, they must retrieve and collect a scroll found inside a tree.

Housemates continued to enter the House and cemetery by groups to retrieve the scrolls. These scrolls eventually played a major role in their next task.

• Task given: In the life sharing activity called multo ng buhay (transl. "ghost of life"), the housemates took turns revealing their deepest personal burdens. Each housemate had to place his/her scroll into a cauldron of water. As the scroll became saturated, a word will be revealed, symbolizing the "ghost" of their life — be it a regretful memory, a person, or a thing they could not let go of.

The episode began by skipping the conclusion of the emotional multo ng buhay activity, choosing instead to jump-start with a more lighthearted event: a pageant role-play. This activity featured Anton, Joaquin, Clifford, and Rave as dressed-up female contestants, and were all given makeup by Carmelle, Krystal, Ashley, and Lella. At the end of the pageant, Anton and Rave were declared the winners. Following this, the episode then returned to the main timeline to broadcast the remaining part and the conclusion of the sharing activity.

On Day 3, Caprice and Iñigo, the youngest female and male housemates, respectively, were summoned to the Confession Room by Big Brother and were informed of their first weekly task. They were concurrently appointed as the task leaders for the said task. Not too long after the challenge started, a candle fell on Iñigo's side. More than an hour later, Sofia accidentally breathed too heavily and snuffed one of the candles out. At the end of the day, the housemates decided that Lee and Sofia will no longer participate in the weekly task.

• Weekly task given: For their first weekly task called the Candelabra de Horror, the housemates were required to continuously carry a candelabra or chandelier holding twenty lit candles. According to their own strategy, they must ensure that five housemates will have to carry the candelabra at any given time. The rules mandated that for every candle that fell or burned out, one housemate would be immediately removed from participating in the task. An evil laugh will signal the housemates as to when they will start in order for a group of five housemates to carry the candelabra and as to when such group will end in carrying the same. To win, at least one candle had to remain lit until the end of the week.^[24]

The episode opened with Big Brother asking the housemates, through Princess and Lella, to choreograph a dance for the season's theme song "Kabataang Pinoy." Clifford expressed concern that some housemates like Marco did not have enough food while there were many leftovers on others like Carmelle. Majority of the episode focused on the weekly task. The episode concluded with the housemates' first pool party.

• Weekly task progress: As the weekly task resumed, two more housemates were eliminated from the task. Ashley and Miguel volunteered to sit out after they each inadvertently snuffed a candle. Big Brother asked the housemates to move around the pool while doing the task. There are also spare candles for those that completely melted but were not snuffed out. Two more housemates, Clifford and Reich, volunteered to sit the challenge out. Krystal expressed with Carmelle and Eliza her dismay towards Clifford's sitting out instead of those that snuffed the candles. At the end of the episode, only fourteen candles remain.

The episode focused on the continuation and result of the weekly task. Discussions on their food portions and their weekly grocery followed.

• Weekly task progress and result: Housemates had to go through an obstacle course and avoid a stand fan. Unexpected rain made the task even harder, resulting to three more housemates being eliminated from the task. The following day turned out to be the final day for their weekly task. A side of the pool had artificial rain, making the task even harder. In the end, only Iñigo and Rave remained. Big Brother said that for them to win, a candle must remain lit up after ten laps. The housemates took some time to add a makeshift cover to the two's raincoats. This proved ineffective initially for Rave as his candle was snuffed during the first round. However, Iñigo volunteered himself out of the challenge with the firm belief that Rave should be the last one standing in the challenge. Against all odds, Rave was able to protect his candle from the elements, handing the housemates the victory for their first weekly task.

Following their wake-up call on Day 8 — signaled by a school bell — the housemates were instructed to gather in the garden area where four large platforms had been installed. Each platform featured four interlocking arms: two colored red and two colored blue. Big Brother subsequently announced that, departing from previous seasons' duos, this season would feature groups. Each group was to be composed of two Kapuso and two Kapamilya housemates, who would then collectively face challenges, tasks, and nominations throughout their time in the house.

Later that day, Miguel and Clifford were summoned to the Confession Room. There, they received their next assignment from Big Brother: the housemates were to wear school uniforms, signaling the beginning of an upcoming task or theme connected to their new "school" wake-up call.

• Entry of a houseguest: Former housemate Esnyr entered the House and participated in their group formation task by acting as Ma'am Castro—one of his online skit characters.^[28]
• Group formation task: See Cycle #1 of group formation history.

The episode continued with housemate leaders Miguel, Krystal, and Carmelle discussing the implications of their leadership roles. Later, Big Brother gathered all the housemates in the garden area and announced that the leaders would immediately begin selecting their respective group members. The selection process proceeded with the five leaders taking turns. Each group was required to consist of two Kapuso and two Kapamilya housemates. Anton made the first selection, choosing Joaquin, Sofia, and Lella. Krystal followed, picking Iñigo, Marco, and Clifford. Carmelle then selected Heath, Rave, and Caprice. Reich chose Waynona, Fred, and Princess. Miguel, as the last leader, was automatically assigned the remaining unchosen housemates: Lee, Eliza, and Ashley.

Following the formation of the five groups, Big Brother further announced that the fate of one group member would determine the fate of the remaining members of that group. A Ligtask challenge was scheduled to commence at the end of the week. The winning group of this challenge would secure immunity from the upcoming nomination. During the nomination, the group that accumulated the most nomination points would be put in jeopardy. Subsequently, one Kapuso and one Kapamilya housemate who received the least public votes would be evicted.

As the housemates stepped out from their bedrooms, they saw school lockers installed at the living room. Moments later, they were asked to once again change into school attire. Big Brother revealed that each locker contains a report card which lists down all violations done by the housemate, if any. Violators were instructed to carry one enlarged rule book per violation. Seven housemates did not commit any violation and were spared from doing the punishment. Sofia, with five violations, was noticeably having a difficult time. Big Brother allowed housemates from the same group to transfer or to receive books and lift the burden, literally, off their teammates. After some time, Big Brother ordered them to walk around the pool, this time with their arms stretched. To end the punishment, the violators had to walk around the pool thirteen times, with one housemate of their choice ending their punishment per lap.

The episode opened with Lee worrying about how he raised his tone on Joaquin during the punishment. Waynona recollected the events on the day she left for the Big Brother House. The following day, Big Brother summoned Waynona and Joaquin to the Confession Room for their second weekly task.

• Weekly task given: Their second weekly task called Bahayanihan is split into two parts. For the first part, the housemates, by groups, need to build dioramas that represents their families while sharing about them.

Big Brother reprimanded the housemates for failing to maintain cleanliness in the house. He asked for two housemates per gender who are the most disciplined when it comes to cleanliness — Heath and Fred from the boys and Caprice and Sofia from the girls. They were tasked to clean the boys' room and girls' room, respectively. Iñigo expressed his dismay at how the housemates were not taking Lee as a leader seriously. Later on, the boys, except Lee, talked about Lee's leadership. Lee joined the conversation moments later and owned up to his shortcomings as a leader, saying that it was his first time to become a leader and he was excited.

• Weekly task progress: Each group shared about their diorama and their families.

The four housemates discussed their findings with the housemates and established rules to maintain cleanliness. Big Brother rewarded the four for their efforts and rewarded them with separate rooms for the night per gender. The next day, Big Brother called Heath to the Confession Room. He gave Heath his guitar. Heath performed his original song "Back to You" in front of the housemates at the living room. Later on, Big Brother summoned both Heath and Carmelle for a music task.

• Task given: The housemates were divided into two groups: the musicians, led by Heath, and the singers, led by Carmelle. Together, they had to perform their rendition of "Kabataang Pinoy." However, the singers could only communicate via singing while the musicians could only use their instruments. To communicate normally again, they had to play charades. A representative from the musicians would act out a word and someone from the singers must be able to guess it correctly.

The time has come for the housemates to do the second part of their weekly task.

• Weekly task progress and result: For the second part of their weekly task, the housemates had to build a five-storey tower using the dioramas they made and red cups as pillars. A group may only start transferring their diorama once the previous group had finished placing their diorama on the tower. The housemates were given some time to practice. During this period, they were able to successfully build the tower. However, in the real run, they were only given thirty minutes. Carmelle's group had to rebuild their storey a few times. Reich's group only had less than a minute to transfer their storey. Unfortunately, some cups fell. With time not on their side, the housemates failed the weekly task.

Reich confronted Iñigo after the weekly task. The following day, the results of the first Ligtask challenge and the first nomination round were revealed.

• Ligtask given: For the first Ligtask of this edition, groups had to use a giant marker tied to their legs to draw the solution to a maze. For every wall crossed, five seconds will be added to their time. The first group to attempt the challenge will set the time to beat and be given the Ligtask trophies. Succeeding groups must beat the said time in order to steal the trophies. From start to end, the trophies remained with Miguel's group, giving them immunity for the first nomination round. Krystal's group came close to dethroning them but failed to do so due to crossing walls six times.
• Nomination process: See Round #1 of nomination history.

The episode showed the aftermath of the first nomination round. The safe housemates consoled the nominated ones. The four were individually summoned to the Confession Room to share their thoughts or feelings. The following day, the housemates woke up to an unconventional wakeup call — dialogues from a movie trailer. At the living room, they saw a movie trailer playing on the TV. The housemates shared their excitement on meeting Joshua Garcia and Piolo Pascual, who will eventually enter the House later in the day as seen in the preview for the next episode.

Big Brother summoned the fangirls of Joshua and Piolo, Ashley and Princess, respectively, to the Confession Room. The house was divided into two teams: Team Meet and Team Greet. The two houseguests entered the house. Piolo led Team Meet, and Joshua was the team captain of Team Greet. The two teams participated in a memory quiz about the trailer of Meet, Greet & Bye. They must grab letters to spell out the answer, and the faster team earns the point. The quiz was a best-of-five. Team Greet prevailed and were able to meet Joshua while Team Meet had to wait at the garden area. Team Greet were given lechon and pictures of their mothers. Before the houseguests left, Big Brother gave Team Meet one hundred seconds to say goodbye to the two. Ashley and Princess escorted Joshua and Piolo to the Confession Room. There, the two houseguests gave their jackets to the two fangirls.

• Entry of houseguests: Piolo Pascual and All In housemate Joshua Garcia entered the house to promote their upcoming movie Meet, Greet & Bye.

The episode opened with the housemates holding a mini-celebration for Caprice on the eve of her birthday. The remainder of the episode showed the events on November 10 which was Caprice's 17th birthday. Big Brother greeted Caprice in the Confession Room and gave her a task. During her birthday task, Waynona and Ashley asked the housemates to secretly write messages for Caprice. Rave read a letter from Caprice's grandparents. The housemates individually read their messages to Caprice. Her parents greeted her via a video recording.

• Task given: Caprice had to stand on a big cake and become a human cake topper. From time to time, a picture of Caprice will be flashed on the TV. Caprice must share a story about the photo. Once the birthday song started playing, she had to change her outfit to be similar to the one in the photo and to match the pose as well. For non-solo photos, she had to choose housemates to act as the other people in the photo. Once the song was over, she and the other housemates on the big cake, if any, could not move nor talk until the next photo was flashed. The reward for completing the task was a cake.

The episode opened with the TV showing a clip of Lella at a shooting range. The TV then showed Anton doing martial arts with his father. Finally, the TV flashed a clip of Heath sparring with his father. The three aforementioned housemates were summoned to the Confession Room and were made the leaders of the third weekly task. Clips from past days or even weeks were then replayed to show the budding love triangle involving Miguel, Eliza, and Marco.

• Weekly task given: For their third weekly task called Pinoy Big Bakbakan, the housemates must create a six-minute action sequence.

While Eliza was in the Confession Room, the boys serenaded the other girls with an original song. The following day, the nominated housemates requested for a bonding session with the remaining housemates. Big Brother gave them a task instead. The duration of their bonding session depends on their performance in the task.

• Task given: The nominees had to blow feathers into a container. Each feather in the container is equivalent to one minute for their chosen bonding session. Within one hour, the nominees successfully blew in 29 feathers; they will have 29 minutes for their bonding session. The girls went for a nail session while Fred chose basketball for the boys.

The episode opened with the TV showing a news clip of Typhoons Tino (Kalmaegi) and Uwan (Fung-wong) devastating parts of the Philippines, resulting in hundreds of casualties and thousands of shelters damaged. Big Brother informed the housemates that their families were safe. The housemates packed relief goods for the typhoon victims.

• Eviction result: During the eviction night, Bianca announced the results of the two voting rounds. Fred was declared safe, resulting in Reich's eviction. Shortly after, Princess was announced as safe, leading to Waynona's eviction. Following the results, the evicted housemates, Reich and Waynona, proceeded to the confession room, where Big Brother presented a tribute video and farewell message.

Majority of the episode focused on the weekly task. Clips from eviction day were also shown.

• Weekly task progress and result: The housemates had to incorporate the following sound effects into their six-minute action routine: door kick, punches and kicks, arnis sounds, swinging of swords, gunshots, and an explosion. The housemates were free to put these sound effects anywhere in their performance. However, they had to learn the timing properly. Out of the thirteen times the sound effects will be used in the actual performance, they must be in sync at least seven times. After their performance concluded, Big Brother announced that they were in sync eight times and congratulated them for succeeding in the weekly task.

The housemates saw Christmas decorations and a plain Christmas tree in the living room. Big Brother assigned a Christmas-themed task to Ashley and Rave. Later in the day, the second group formation task was held.

• Task given: Housemates had to make their own personalized Christmas tree decoration and share about it.
• Group formation task: See Cycle #2 of group formation history.

Big Brother announced that the winning Ligtask group will also choose the group to be up for eviction. The next morning, the housemates saw AI-generated photos in the living room of themselves hugging their younger selves. Big Brother gave a task related to the pictures.

• Task given: Housemates had to reminisce their life as a child. They had to write a letter addressed to their younger selves.

Episode continued with the sharing from the previous episode. The following day, group leaders Ashley, Eliza, and Princess were summoned to the Confession Room and gave them their fourth weekly task. Later on, each group was called to the Confession Room and was assigned another task to prepare them for the weekly task.

• Weekly task given: For their fourth weekly task called Laro Along Da Kalye, the housemates will play three challenges based on popular local street games. This task doubled as their Ligtask, as the group with the highest total points at the end of the three challenges will be safe from nomination and will choose the group to be nominated.
• Task given: Groups had to engage in a balagtasan, a Filipino debate delivered in a poetic and expressive manner. The topic was why their group deserved to win and not the other groups.

First part of the weekly task/Ligtask was shown. In the end, Princess's clutch buzzer-beater broke a potential tie with the Smiling Angels and willed the Strong-willed Fighters to victory. The housemates garnered eight gold coins for the weekly task.

• Weekly task and Ligtask progress: For the first part, they must play a variation of tumbang preso, a local street game where players throw slippers to topple cans. However, instead of slippers, they used slingshots. The damp rolled newspaper will be used as the "rock." The teams will race to topple all six cans of their team's color. The cans have varying distances and sizes. A group member can only topple a can once. At the end of the designated time period, the group with the most cans toppled will earn three Ligtask points, second group two points, and last group one point. Furthermore, each can toppled is equivalent to one gold coin. They must earn 27 gold coins at the end of the three challenges to win the weekly task.
• Results:

1. Strong-willed Fighters - 4 cans - 3 Ligtask points
2. Smiling Angels - 3 cans - 2 Ligtask points
3. Determined Warriors - 1 can - 1 Ligtask point

• Weekly task and Ligtask progress: For the second challenge, housemates had to use a stick to push a wheel from the white line in to one of the holes. They must pass the previous hole before proceeding to the next one. The first three holes were wider than the last three holes. Like the previous challenge, a housemate can no longer do the challenge once they are done. The Smiling Angels blazed through the competition and finished the task before their rivals did. Strong-willed Fighters completed four holes. Eliza's last-gasp attempt lifted the Determined Warriors' tally to three points, not enough to change the overall result but could prove to be crucial when it comes to the weekly task.
• Results after challenge #2

1. Smiling Angels - 11 Ligtask points
2. Strong-willed Fighters - 9 Ligtask points
3. Determined Warriors - 4 Ligtask points

The weekly task leaders welcomed Belle and toured her around the house while trying their best to hide her from the boys. After the girls' task ended, Belle proceeded to share words of wisdom with the housemates and had a meal with them after completing a special task assigned to the boys.

• Weekly task progress: Since the housemates were able to complete 13 holes, they garnered 13 more gold coins for the weekly task bringing their total to 21.
• Entry of a houseguest: Belle Mariano entered the house to promote her movie Meet, Greet & Bye and to, eventually, play hide-and-seek.
• Task given (girls): Big Brother told the girls to hide Belle from the boys. The girls told the boys to play patintero with Sofia closely watching them, and the girls "practiced" a Christmas dance. Unfortunately, Clifford got too suspicious and spied on them, resulting in the boys' storming into the girls' room where Belle was hiding. No consequence was revealed for failing the task.
• Task given (boys): The boys had to use their body to spell out words which turned out to be famous Filipino streetfood. Belle had to guess the word. Successfully doing this thrice rewarded the housemates a meal with Belle.

The third Ligtask challenge and second nomination round were shown in this episode.

• Weekly task and Ligtask result: For their third challenge, housemates had to play sipako (combination of sipa and piko). Housemates could either use their foot or elbow to hit the sipa. Those in charge of using their feet must hit the sipa 5, 10, or 15 consecutive times, while those using their elbow must hit it 10, 20, or 30 consecutive times. The previous housemate must finish their set before the next housemate could start their set. A group could switch the order of sets with Big Brother's approval. Each cleared set was equivalent to one gold coin for the weekly task. The group that cleared the most sets within six hours received 30 Ligtask points, then 20 and 10 points for second and third, respectively. Smiling Angels cleared 5 sets, Strong-willed Fighters cleared 4, and Determined Warriors cleared 2 sets, adding 11 more gold coins for their weekly task. The housemates finished with 32 gold coins and passed the fourth weekly task.

The housemates saw a golden luggage in the living room. They also saw a cassette player. The cassette tape they found contained an audio recording by an unknown individual (eventually revealed to be by the houseguest). Moments later, the houseguest made his presence felt again, this time from the Confession Room. Ruru eventually entered the house and got to know the housemates. Later on, Big Brother gave a task to the nominated housemates via Ruru. Eliza was the first to complete the task and received an audio greeting from her father.

The episode started with the conclusion of the cassette task and the remaining nominees receiving audio greetings from their loved ones. The following day, the housemates started rehearsing for Carmelle's and Anton's live shows. Selected clips from the first set of live shows were then shown.

• Weekly task progress: For Carmelle's show, she held a virtual mini-concert titled "Ang Pangarap Ko'y Tagumpay"^[54] involving the housemates and houseguest Ruru. Anton showed a skit called "Ang Laban Ko"^[55] centered on his bullied days.

Some housemates used "codenames" to talk about themselves and other housemates. This is a house rule violation and the repercussions of it will be revealed in the next episode. This episode also showed events from eviction day and the aftermath of the second eviction night.

The third group formation task was shown. The next day, the housemates woke up to an unconventional wakeup call. At the garden area, they saw four "prison cells." Throughout a period of time, a violation and the number of violators were flashed on the TV. After the final violation was revealed, Big Brother announced the violations tally per member per group. Afterwards, Big Brother told the housemates to get in their cells, which they would be staying in until further notice.

• Group formation task: See Cycle #3 of group formation history.

Big Brother was displeased with how dirty his house was. He told the housemates to clean up the house. Three inspectors wearing personal protective equipment entered the house. On the first attempt, only the Dining Area passed the inspection. The housemates were given fifteen minutes to clean up the other four areas. These other four areas were successfully cleaned on the second attempt. Big Brother gathered the housemates in the living room to announce the total number of violations: 117 (including the 7 from housemates who failed to enter the cell in one minute at the start). He let the housemates free but warned them that they will be living in the cells everyday at designated times until further notice.

The housemates incurred nine more violations before bedtime, raising their tally to 126. The following day, Big Brother continued giving the housemates the cold shoulder, only communicating to them via the TV. Later on, he told housemates who wish to talk to him to enter the Confession Room. Rave's group was the first to enter, and they apologized to Big Brother individually.

A surprise house inspection happened. All five areas were deemed unclean, so all housemates earned a violation, raising their tally to 142. The day ended with the housemates being able to transfer 13 balls.

• Weekly task given: For their sixth weekly task called Ang Apat na Selda, housemates must transfer black balls from point A to point B using a stick. The number of balls was equal to the number of violations. Every ball transferred by a housemate deducted a violation from their tally. Maintaining cleanliness in the House could also decrease the number of balls. However, additional balls will be added if any further violations are committed. They could only do the task while in their prison cells. The goal was to transfer all the balls so that all housemates will be acquitted.

Will, Bianca, and Dustin entered the house as inspectors. After giving their verdict, they revealed themselves to the housemates. They unveiled the poster of their upcoming movie in the Living Room.

• Entry of houseguests: Celebrity Collab Edition 1 housemates Will Ashley, Bianca de Vera and Dustin Yu re-entered the house to promote their upcoming romance movie Love You So Bad.

Big Brother divided the house by gender. Only Shuvee was allowed to talk to both parties.

• Entry of a houseguest: Celebrity Collab Edition 1 housemate Shuvee Etrata re-entered the house.

The girls expressed how uncomfortable they were with the boys' inappropriate jokes. Big Brother told Shuvee to host a talk show called Bakit Ba? (transl. Why is It?) using the questions of both groups.

• Task given: Each group had to write questions addressed to the other group.

Big Brother instructed the housemates to write letters to the other group. The boys read their messages from the girls.

The girls read their messages from the boys. The housemates were reunited. The following day, Big Brother summoned Lee and Lella to the Confession Room and informed them that Shuvee would be leaving the House on that day. They thought of holding a mini program for her. The following day, Fred and Lee were summoned to the Confession Room and assigned as weekly task leaders.

• Weekly task given: For their seventh weekly task called Patong-Patong na Presents, housemates had to act as Christmas elves and stack the sixteen presents found under the Christmas tree.

Additional info regarding the weekly task was revealed. Lee did his good deed for Carmelle, while Heath cooked a pancake for Caprice.

• Weekly task progress: Housemates had to carry a present, then walk around the Christmas tree, then come back and stack their present on top of the next housemate's. The cycle repeated until the last housemate could walk around the Christmas tree with all sixteen presents or a housemate fumbled. The housemates' best attempt will determine the result of the weekly task. Each multiple of four is a milestone. 25% of the weekly budget is at stake per milestone. Unbeknownst to the safe housemates, each milestone is also equivalent to one "good deed" by a nominee to a housemate of their choice.

The final day of the weekly task and the third eviction night were shown.

• Weekly task progress and result: The housemates' best attempt was ten boxes, awarding them fifty percent of the weekly budget.
• Eviction result: During the eviction night, Bianca announced the results of the voting rounds. Heath was declared safe, resulting in Lee's eviction. Shortly after, Fred was announced as safe, leading to Iñigo's eviction. Following the results, the evicted housemates, Lee and Iñigo, proceeded to the confession room, where Big Brother presented a tribute video and farewell message.
