ABS-CBN’s reality show Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) officially introduced Saturday the first set of seven teeners who will stay in the country’s most popular house.
Hosts Toni Gonzaga, Bianca Gonzales and Robi Domingo welcomed the six housemates, namely Ryan (Kid Sunshine of Cebu), Kenzo (Astig Athelete ng QC), Jimboy (The Barrio Rapper), Bailey (Global Gwapito of Cebu), Kamille (Teen Mama of Manila), Barbie (Doll along the Riles ng Albay) and Ailah (Faithful Daughter ng Bacolod).
With the tagline “737,” with the first number pertaining to the number of weeks the housemates will live inside the house, the fifth teen edition marks PBB’s 10th anniversary on TV. The meaning behind the other two numbers would be revealed in the coming days, Gonzaga said.
PBB’s central theme will focus on how well the parents know their sons or daughters.
The remaining five housemates will be introduced on Sunday.
The show isolates the housemates in a specially designed house fitted with cameras and microphones. The housemates compete with one another and face periodic evictions as well as a variety of daily and weekly tasks until one grand winner emerges.
The Philippine franchise of the reality show first hit ABS-CBN’s primetime slot on Aug. 21, 2005. It has so far produced 11 seasons in three different editions.
