PBB Celebrity Edition Premieres on February 4
Wednesday, January 11, 2006

Preparations for the much-awaited celebrity edition of Pinoy Big Brother are now in full swing with only few weeks left before the ball starts rolling for the 12 celebrities who will take on the new challenges of Big Brother!

The celebrity edition of the phenomenal reality show is scheduled to premiere on the night of February 4 on ABS-CBN. According to Linggit Tan, one of Pinoy Big Brother’s business unit heads, the opening night of the celebrity edition will be very different from what happened on August 21, when Big Winner Nene and the other 11 original housemates went inside Kuya’s house for the first time.

On the opening night, the 12 celebrity housemates will be brought to a special venue, where they will be presented to the public for the first time. After the grand presentation, a motorcade will take them to Big Brother’s house.

“PBB celebrity edition will run for six weeks (42 days) that’s why it's a fast-paced and very thrilling experience not only for the 12 housemates but also for the viewers,” Tan said. The nomination and eviction process will happen twice a week until four housemates are left inside the house.

The New Housemates

She also explained that the new batch of housemates will not only consist of actors and actresses. There’s also a possibility that well-known athletes, singers, directors and even politicians could be part of the new batch.

As of the moment, the lineup for the 12 housemates is not yet complete. The auditions are still on going but only on an appointment basis. “Hindi na tayo nag-o-open audition, those who want to join, they call us and we setup an interview,” Tan disclosed during an interview.

The staff of the show started the audition process last month where about 150 celebrities, including some big names in showbizness, showed up in a matter of two days. Just like those who auditioned during the first run of Pinoy Big Brother, the housemate wannabes had to go through several VTR interviews and even psychological tests and physical examinations. “May psychological test din sila at physical exams, required talaga yun kasi stressful yun condition yung sa loob (ng bahay), they should be physically fit and have a sound mind, nakikita kasi yun sa mga test, so kapag hindi ni-recommend ng mga psychologist, hindi namin sila pinipili,” Tan explained.

She also added that the 12 lucky celebrities who will be picked as housemates will participate in the contest for a cause. During the opening night, the housemates will be asked to state how much of their winnings will they donate to their chosen charity if in case they become the Big Winner of the celebrity edition.
