Days are running out before “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition” makes franchise history by crowning its first-ever dual Big Winners — one from Kapamilya, one from Kapuso. This groundbreaking season, the first full-on team-up between ABS-CBN and GMA, blurred network lines to deliver something bigger inside Bahay ni Kuya.
And now, after weeks of challenges and confessions, heartbreaks and hilarious house moments, the final duos have been officially formed just in time for the grand showdown.
It all came down to the final “pole memorization and balancing” task on June 4, where housemates had to rely on focus. The stakes were high and the reward was a chance to pick their final partner for the last leg of this historic ride.
Meet the Final Duos of PBB Celebrity Collab Edition:
Ralph and Will (RaWi)
Ralph de Leon finished the task first and earned the right to choose first. His decision came from the heart. “I’m choosing this person as my final duo because he’s been a huge part of my journey here, Kuya,” Ralph said. “I admire him so much, and I know in my heart and mind that he won’t leave me. He’ll fight with me inside and outside this house.”
Shuvee and Klang (ShuKla)
Cebuana beauty Shuvee Etrata ranked second and got the next pick, but Kuya’s twist meant the person she chose could decline. Still, she followed her heart.
“I’m going with what I feel,” she said. “We’ve talked about being partners for so long, so the person I’m choosing as my final duo is Ate Klang.” Klarisse de Guzman, who ranked third, smiled and said yes.
Dustin and Bianca (DustBi)
This fiery, fan-favorite pairing is known for their ups and downs, but underneath the chaos is a deep connection. “We’ve been through a lot — thick and thin, hell and back,” said Dustin Yu. “We fight like cats and dogs, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. Let’s finish this together.” True to fan predictions, he chose Bianca De Vera, who accepted.
Mika and Brent (BreKa)
Beloved by fans as MikBrent (or BreKa to themselves), this pair found their way back to each other. Mika Salamanca, who ranked sixth, made her choice with emotion.
“I’m choosing this person because he’s been a huge part of my growth and journey here. He’s one of the kindest, most hardworking, and selfless people I’ve ever met. I think he’s my strength inside this house.” She picked Brent Manalo, who happily accepted.
AZ and River (AZVer)
Although Cebuana beauty queen AZ Martinez had quietly stepped forward in hopes of reuniting with her former duo Ralph de Leon, he ultimately chose Will Ashley. Ralph assured AZ that their bond remained strong despite his decision. When it was her turn to choose, AZ picked River Joseph, calling him a green flag and a gentle giant whose selflessness and strength inspired the house. River, who sees AZ as a little sister, gladly accepted, praising her kind heart and strong performance in challenges.
Charlie and Esnyr (CharEs)
From humble breadwinners to fan-declared Big Winner potentials, this duo has touched hearts. Esnyr Ranollo ranked last in the final task and had to wait until the very end, but the wait was worth it. Charlie Fleming, ranked ninth, ended up as his partner and she couldn’t have been happier. “I’m honestly really, really, really happy that he’s my Final Duo. It felt so effortless. If there’s such a thing as destiny, this is it,” she said.
