The eleventh season of the reality game show Pinoy Big Brother, subtitled Gen 11 (short for Generation 11), premiered on the Kapamilya Channel on July 20, 2024.

This is the first full season and the second overall season to air on TV5 after Connect. This is also the first season in fifteen years to feature more than one two-in-one housemates competing in a single season, after Double Up.

Development

The show began auditions outside the country on September 2023, hence confirming the show's return. It was until two months later that a new season of Pinoy Big Brother was officially confirmed on December 13, 2023, during the ABS-CBN Christmas Special, which presented the network's program line-up for 2024.[1] [2] The season, the first to air in two years, is subtitled Gen 11, emphasizing the season's focus on housemates from Generation Z.[3] ABS-CBN Television Production Head Unit and Head Director Laurenti Dyogi initially confirmed that the season will premiere in June.[4] [5] [6] However, the season's premiere date would ultimately be set to July 20.[7]

Auditions

On April 6, Dyogi announced that Star Hunt will oversee the casting process for the upcoming season along with auditions for Star Magic and aspiring Star Hunt Academy trainees, beginning with on-ground auditions in Metro Manila, and then in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao in the following weeks.

Auditions for Gen 11 began on April 27 and marked the return of physical auditions after it was halted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines during the past two seasons. Like in previous seasons, the auditions for adult and teen housemates (ages 16–32) were held simultaneously. Online auditions began on May 29, and ended on June 16, 2024. A total of 35,906 auditioned for this season, with 20,157 coming from on-site auditions via Star Hunt and 15,749 coming through online auditions. Among them, 67 were selected for the final casting.[8] [9]

False casting calls

On April 2024, some netizens reported unauthorized audition calls that falsely claimed to be open casting calls for ABS-CBN shows such as Pinoy Big Brother, FPJ's Batang Quiapo, and Senior Highs sequel, High Street, that were widely circulated on social media. In response, ABS-CBN issued an advisory on April 16, 2024, to debunk the misleading casting calls and advise the public to be vigilant against scammers falsely representing themselves as part of the show's production.[11] [12]

Timeslot

The show airs at 10:15 p.m. (PhST) every weeknights after High Street, 8:30 p.m. (Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z and TV5) on Saturdays, and at 8:30 p.m. (Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live and A2Z) and 9:30 p.m. (TV5) on Sundays after Rainbow Rumble.[13]

This season, a daily 30-minute highlights show airs Monday through Friday, with evictions taking place live every Saturday and nominations revealed every Sunday.

Overview

Logo

The logo for Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11 features significant changes from the logos used in past seasons. The logo's eye is identical to that used on the tenth season, which features gradients inspired by the colors of the Philippine flag, but slants rightward. The text Pinoy Big Brother also slants rightward and has a gradient spanning shades of blue and red. The season's subtitle Gen 11 is featured below with a white neon color. Below the text is an outline of a house in neon light.

House

The house's façade was repainted in yellow and blue, and four LED screens were installed on the windows; the other façade (also known as House B in Double Up) was demolished in May 2023 due the expiration of its lease.[14] The interior of the house has been updated, repainted, and furnished with a video-game theme. Mural paintings by Polido Mural Arts adorn the walls. The living area prominently displays a large version of the current graphical eye's logo, along with pixelated art of José Rizal, the GomBurZa, and Melchora Aquino. The translated lyrics of the show's theme song are also displayed in various Filipino languages. In the pool area, a mural featuring the lyric "Oh Shux!" from "Pantropiko" by the P-pop girl group BINI, along with pixelated clouds and trees, adds to the theme. The confession room has been repainted and renovated, now featuring sofa "blocks."

Hosts

Bianca Gonzalez, Robi Domingo, Kim Chiu, Melai Cantiveros, and Enchong Dee, collectively known as Pamilya ni Kuya, reprised their roles as the main hosts of the season. This is the first full season without Toni Gonzaga as the main host since the inception of the Philippine franchise in 2005.[15] On June 20, 2024, former Kumunity 10 celebrity housemate Alexa Ilacad was named one of the presenters for the season and its digital companion shows.[16] [17]

Livestream

Every day from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 a.m., viewers can watch the show live on the e-commerce app Lazada through LazLive. There are four distinct live streams available for viewers to choose from: the main stream, which will showcase the entire house, the dining area, the living room, and the pool area.[18]

Sponsorships

The show has partnered with the following products and services: mobile payment app Maya, which serves as the season's official finance and voting partner; Unilever beauty products Cream Silk and Pond's; soft drink brand Coca-Cola; and e-commerce app Lazada, which serves as the official e-commerce and shopping application and also provides the show's livestream via the Lazada app. All these products have product placements inside the house.[19] [20]

Companion shows

This season has a digital companion show called PBB Gen 11 Up, hosted by Alexa Ilacad, Enchong Dee, Melai Cantiveros, Kim Chiu and Robi Domingo and airs every Saturday at 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and can be viewed on Kapamilya Online Live via Facebook and YouTube.[21] [22] [23]

Theme songs

This season's theme song is a remixed version of the original "Pinoy Ako" by the band Orange and Lemons to match the season's theme, reverting back from the newer "Pinoy Tayo" by Rico Blanco used in the previous season. Meanwhile, the eviction theme song is "Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi" by BINI, from their sophomore album I Feel Good (2022).

Format

Every week, each housemate must nominate two other housemates for eviction, with the first receiving two points and the second receiving one. The top three (or more if there is a tie) housemates with the most nomination points will be put forward for public vote. Furthermore, Big Brother has the authority to grant immunity or an automatic nomination to a housemate, primarily due to twists or violations. A nomination round may be paused due to pending tasks, challenges, or twists.

Twists

Housemates

Leading up to the series premiere, five people were introduced daily from July 15 to 19, 2024, on Star Hunt: The Audition Show.[24] [25] Fourteen housemates entered the house on launch night (July 20), including two-in-one housemates Dingdong Bahan and Patrick Ramirez.[26] For formal purposes, the launch night is referred to as Day 1. Each housemate's age was determined prior to entry, even if they celebrated their birthdays while inside the house.

Five additional housemates moved in over the next few weeks. Jan Silva and Fyang Smith, the first two new housemates, entered the house on Day 16 (August 4). On Day 24 (August 12), two new housemates entered the house: Joli Alferez and JP Cabrera. On Day 33 (August 21), one new housemate entered the house: Gwen Montano. The latter and Joli Alferez were later turned into a two-in-one housemate, becoming the season's second two-in-one housemate after Bahan and Ramirez.

Tasks

Weekly tasks

Big Brother will assign weekly tasks to the housemates each week to test their group dynamics, cooperation, and camaraderie. Beginning with the second weekly task, the housemates who successfully finish their weekly task will receive ₱15,000 as their budget through Maya. From there, they can choose to either spend their weekly budget or save it and watch it grow through the Save or Spend Weekly Task twist, which offers an interest rate of up to 15% (growing up to ₱200,000).

Relay ang Ship (Relay the Ship) — Part 1
On Day 24, two new housemates, Joli and JP entered the house and were immediately given a secret task. They were given two "paper ships"; Joli chose one of the two colored papers with the tasks written on it. They must behave in a specific manner based on the information in the paper; they can either act as best friends who stayed together but abruptly separated in the air without explanation, or as identical siblings who appear to be the same but are not. They must ensure that the other housemates are unaware that they are not related and are in fact separate housemates, and they must complete this task successfully to avoid losing half of their weekly budget for the next week.

[55] Relay ang Ship (Relay the Ship) — Part 2
The housemates were tasked to construct a ship using bamboo and additional supplies that Big Brother had provided. The ship can only be built and maintained by a single pair at a time. Each pair has to take the ship from one end of the pool to the other and back in 30 minutes at the end of the week.[56]

Notes

Other tasks

In addition to the weekly tasks, Big Brother has the authority to assign additional ones. These tasks are divided into four categories: daily, which are regular tasks that housemates can complete and assign to one another; secret, which require a housemate to complete the task in secret without informing the other housemates; reward, which can apply to the three types and must be completed by the assigned housemate(s) in order to receive the reward; and special, which are special tasks imposed by Big Brother or the housemates themselves with Big Brother's approval. Punishment tasks are also listed here for transparency, and they are considered separately from the four types.

Depending on the outcome, some tasks may have the potential to influence the activities inside the House, to much extent the competition between the housemates. In some cases, the show's sponsors may sponsor specific tasks, and the housemates can receive luxury rewards through a luxury competition, task, or challenge.

SpecialOn launch night, after the housemates noticed eleven platforms in the pool area, Big Brother greeted them and announced that they were not housemates, but rather houseguests. They were assigned a special task to become one of the eleven "official housemates" and entice the other housemates to do the same in a meaningful way. They were given an hour to complete this task. In reality, they were all housemates. This was a test to determine their commitment and willingness to stay inside the house.[57] All housematesPassed
2SecretOn Day 1, Big Brother assigned Dingdong and Patrick a series of secret tasks to keep their relationship hidden until further notice. At the live launch, they were told that only one of them could enter; Patrick chose to enter the house. First, Big Brother gave Patrick the key and a letter to open the pool area. Then, Big Brother tasked Patrick with becoming a "official housemate" on their special task so that his partner Dingdong could enter the house.Dingdong & PatrickPassed[58]

SecretOn Day 4, Big Brother informed Dingdong that Patrick had successfully completed his secret task of becoming one of the first three "official housemates," so he was allowed to enter the house; however, the two had to keep their relationship hidden from the other housemates. Big Brother then asked Dingdong to enter the house as a "houseguest" and become one of the eleven "official housemates" by wearing a different nameplate to conceal his relationship with Patrick. Dingdong was assigned the name "Denn" for this secret task.[59] DingdongFailed

DailyPinoy Big Babies — Part 1
On Day 11, the housemates were awakened by the sound of a crying baby. They were given the task of becoming "babies"; during the task, they will transform into babies every time they hear a baby cry, and they will only return to their original selves when they hear a baby laugh. They must wear bibs and communicate solely through action and baby words. Ten housemates became "babies," and four housemates were assigned as "parents" to care for them. This task was a reference to the midget skit Pinoy Big Babies created on Double Up.[60]

PunishmentPunishment Task — Part 1
On Day 30, Big Brother punished all of the housemates for constantly breaking the rules throughout their stay. As punishment, they were tasked with lifting the big rulebook until Big Brother's signal. They were not allowed to lower the big rulebook while performing the task.
All housematesPassed
13Punishment Task — Part 2
On that same day, Big Brother assigned the housemates a task: to determine which housemate had the "most number of violations," they were to rank themselves as rule breakers on a scale of one to fourteen, where one represented the highest number of violations and fourteen the lowest. Note that the housemates are not aware of each other's actual number of violations, so their ranking is based solely on their own perspectives. To determine the ranking, they were asked to lift and bring the large rulebook while receiving their number pins, which were placed around the pool area. The first seven housemates (ranked first through seventh) were "automatically nominated", while the remaining housemates were deemed safe and excluded from lifting the big rulebook following the announcement.
14August 19
Punishment Task — Part 3
The seven "nominated" housemates, Binsoy, Dingdong, Fyang, Jan, JM, Kolette, and Patrick, were tasked with lifting and bringing the big rulebook while walking in the pool area for 11 minutes, after which they would complete the entire punishment task.

On Day 32, Big Brother informed Binsoy that a new housemate, Gwen, would be entering the house with a "situationship" with another housemate, Joli. Binsoy does not yet know who the new housemate is, and has only been told that their identity is hidden in a box. To open the box containing Gwen's bathrobe, Binsoy must recruit two "allys" and Joli must brush their teeth (including Binsoy). He chose Jarren and JP to be his "allys".

16HouseGuess — Part 2
Binsoy, Jarren, and JP would have to work out with Gwen in a secret task where the three must speak Gwen's three mutual expressions: "boktir" (not true), "masiramon, boy" (delicious), and "ganda mo" (you're beautiful). Gwen can then enter the house, if they successfully complete this task.
17HouseGuess — Part 3
Binsoy, Jarren, and JP must persuade Joli to wear a blindfold and play a game in which she can guess the housemate just by touching it. If she correctly guesses the final housemate, who turns out to be her situationship partner Gwen, the latter will be able to remove his blindfold and become an official housemate, as well as complete the secret task.
18August 21
DailyOn Day 33, after hearing a message notification tone throughout the house, Jarren and Rain were summoned to the confession room to learn more about Kai's longing for her biological parents. Big Brother had forwarded a message from Kai's parents to the two housemates, but it was jumbled. To learn more about Kai's biological parents, they had to rearrange and decipher the message.Jarren & RainPassed

Notes
  1. When the housemates failed to win their first weekly task, the eleven individuals who were declared as "official housemates" were tasked in selecting who among the four "houseguests" will they automatically nominate for eviction—they chose Dylan.
  2. This is a double eviction, as two nominees were evicted.
  3. Fyang and Jan were exempt from nominations this week because they were new entrants. Both entered the house on Day 16, which was the date of the second nomination night.
  4. Fyang and Jan were still exempt from nominations this week, but they can now nominate.
  5. Joli and JP were exempt from nominations this week because they were new entrants. Both entered the house on Day 24, a day after the third nomination night. They were included in the punishment tasks on Day 30, but are ineligible for nomination because they only entered the house six days before.
  6. On Day 30, the housemates were punished for consistently breaking the rules during their time inside the house. Violations included not wearing a lapel, whispering, sleeping at random times during the day, swearing, breaking things, using sign language, asking about the outside world, and discussing nominations. As punishment, they were assigned a variety of punishment tasks, with the first seven "rule-breaker" housemates receiving "automatic nominations".
  7. On Day 31, the final list of nominees for the week was officially announced based on the number of violations they had committed: Fyang and Rain with 16 each, Kai and Kolette with 14 each, Dingdong and Patrick with 13 violations, and Dylan with 11 violations. The remaining unnominated housemates who were not on the list had fewer than 11 violations: JM had 10, Binsoy had 9, Jarren had 6, Jan had 5, Jas had 4, Joli had 2, and JP had 1. Only one of the six nominees will be evicted at the end of the week.
  8. Gwen was exempt from nominations this week because he was a new entrant. He entered the house on Day 33, a day after the fourth nomination night.
  9. On Day 34, Gwen & Joli were officially turned into a two-in-one housemate by Big Brother despite the fact that they entered the house separately.

  48. The task's success is determined by the ratio of water placed in the container to the time taken. If both the housemates and "houseguests" pass this task, they will not only secure their weekly budget but also all become "official housemates." Otherwise, the remaining four "houseguests" (Brx, Dingdong, Dylan, and Kolette) will be punished.
  49. After four trials—three successful and one failed—the fifth trial will be the final judge. In the fifth trial, the ratio was unequal: they distributed 12.39 liters in 10 minutes and 29 seconds, exceeding the maximum limit of 11.99 liters by 0.4 liters. Consequently, the housemates and houseguests failed the task. Despite revealing that the "official housemate" twist was just a test, one of the four "houseguests" will be nominated for the first nomination night.
  50. See the other task named "Pinoy Big Babies - Part 1" (number 5) for the full context of this task. Big Brother would give the parents a time limit to guess what the babies wanted. They were only supposed to complete each request once; if they guess incorrectly, they will not have another opportunity to fulfill the baby's request.
  51. If Noimie fulfills Baby Therese's request, she will have the opportunity to meet her child via video message.
  52. The requests of the remaining babies, Kai, Kanata, Patrick, and Rain, were not revealed because the housemates had met their goal of six successful requests following Baby Dylan's requests.
  53. The videos were shared on the show's official Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube pages. Dingdong and Patrick, the two-for-one housemates, were counted separately for this task. Team Rain's video was posted following the August 6 episode, while Team Dingdong's video was posted the next day, August 7. The third video, which included all of the housemates, was released on Thursday, August 8. The deadline for counting likes and reactions was on Friday, August 9, at 7:00 p.m. The weekly task's results were announced on Sunday, August 11.

  55. Brx and Noimie were in the house when the task was performed. The results of this task were aired on August 18 (Day 30), one day after the third eviction night.
  56. See the other task named "Partnerships" (number 9) for the context of this weekly task.

  59. Dingdong did not secure any of the eleven "official housemate" slots because he was unable to stand on the eleven "official housemate" platforms in time, and no housemate had given up their slots for Dingdong to become one. However, he was able to keep his relationship with Patrick hidden until Day 8, when it was time to reveal their true relationship.
  60. The "babies" were Dylan, Jarren, JM, Kai, Kanata, Kolette, Marc, Patrick, Rain, and Therese, while the "parents" were Brx, Noimie, Binsoy, and Jas. Binsoy and Jas looked after the "baby boys," while Brx and Noimie looked after the "baby girls." Dingdong has been excluded from participating in this task.
  61. After the task, Baby Kanata was the first to finish her milk, effectively returning the female housemates to their original selves. However, the male housemates returned to their original selves following the task.
  62. The pairs were Joli and JP, JM and Fyang, Jarren and Kolette, Dylan and Jas, Jan and Rain, Brx and Kai, Binsoy and Noimie, and Dingdong and Patrick. The selection was also based for their Relay ang Ship weekly task. The pairs were subjected to a variety of tasks while being tied together. Tasks include playing "Bring Me" in pairs and doing basic household chores while holding each other's shoulders. During the task, the housemates were given an additional task involving a cake as a luxury reward for Jan's birthday, in which they were required to complete challenges such as placing themselves away from each other and placing their cheeks to each other for an unlimited amount of time until Big Brother's signal.
  63. Patrick had to take the sixth spot automatically since Dingdong and Patrick are two-in-one housemates. This meant that the two-in-one were given an automatic nomination.
  64. The recipient of the seventh position was determined by a house vote, and it was unanimously decided that Kolette should receive the seventh spot and an automatic nomination.
