Ashley Sarmiento wished to experience a fashionista’s life—attending fashion weeks and owning luxury items. Caprice Cayetano noted that Heart is her idol, “Gusto ko pong magpaturo sa kanya ng mga fashion tips, [like] ano kayang pwede sa style na ‘to or sa mga heels na ‘to na ‘di ko naman nagagamit.

Heath Jornales dreamed to experience driving Alden’s cars, while John Clifford shared his curiosity about Alden’s daily routine, “Kasi nakikita ko marami din siyang activities like flying, mahilig din siya sa watch, so parang gusto kong ma-experience paano maging Alden Richards sa isang araw.” Lee Victor added that he’d like to experience Alden’s success, “He’s a successful businessman, he’s very successful in a lot of things---good actor, very talented sa singing, dancing, and hosting. It would be really nice, and I’m very curious what his life is like.”  DonBelle was also a popular choice, with Marco Masa picking Donny and Waynona Collings choosing Belle. For Marco, Donny Pangilinan is a great person he admires, even just from what he sees online. “Hindi ko man siya kilala in person, never pa man kaming nag-meet, but I’m really curious about how he lives his life. Idol ko rin ‘yun eh. I’ve watched some of his vlogs and nakaka-inspire. ‘Yung mga values niya, it’s something na I wanna learn from.”Waynona went with Belle Mariano, admiring her acting skills. “Kasi ‘yung sa show niya na “He’s Into Her,” sobrang nagustuhan ko ‘yun and she’s so good. Parang I wanna be her for a day---I think it’s gonna be so fun,” she explained.  Lastly, Sofia Pablo said she wants to experience a happy life like Marian Rivera’s. “Ang saya ng family niya, she has such a good career, ang cute ng mga kids niya, she has the luxuries in life with her own hard-earned money,” she expounded. Whether it’s living like a P-Pop idol, a fashion icon, or a good actor, the housemates’ choices show how much these stars inspire them, and how fun it is to imagine stepping into their shoes, even just for a day. Catch “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab-v2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PBB Collab 2.0</a>,” Monday to Sunday on Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), Pinoy Big Brother YouTube Channel, and <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">iWant!</a>
