"Pinoy Big Brother" returns this pandemic for its 10th season

Big Brother is back as he opens his famous yellow house again in the middle of the pandemic to spread happiness, inspiration, and bring together Filipino communities in “Pinoy Big Brother Kumunity Season 10.”

This was the big announcement that Vice Ganda and former housemates Ryan Bang, and Teen Big Winner Kim Chiu revealed on “It’s Showtime” on August 27 as they introduced the new season, which will have adult, celebrity, and teen editions.

“Binigyan ako ng task ni Big Brother para sabihin sa lahat na magbubukas na ulit ang bahay ni Kuya para sa Season 10 ng ‘Pinoy Big Brother.’ Naka-10 seasons na pala tayo,” Kim said.

Ryan added, “Sabi nga sa labas ng bahay niya…a new community will rise soon.”

Ryan was referring to the “PBB” house covered in blue construction cover with the message, “a new community will rise soon.” The photo of the house-made rounds on social media, confusing netizens on the fate of “PBB” and if it meant Big Brother’s farewell.

It was then followed by a huge poster of the number 10 beside the “PBB” gate that sent social media abuzz too. It also caught the attention of former housemates, including Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Lou Yanong, Maris Racal, Maymay Entrata, Ryan Bang, Sam Milby, and Seth Fedelin.

Just like in “PBB Connect,” Pinoy community streaming platform Kumu will also play a huge part this season. Auditions for the adult edition will be held on Kumu starting on September 1, while auditions for the teen edition will start on December 1. It can be recalled that the online auditions for last year’s edition was record-breaking with 177,524 audition entries.

Also happening is the “PBB Kumunity Season 10 Kumu Party,” a virtual reunion of Big Brother’s housemates from different seasons since the program started in 2005. Bianca Gonzalez will host the celebration that will stream at 3 pm on Kumu.
