As part of their 10th weekly task, the housemates pulled off seven production numbers across two live shows—three of which were circus acts with their weekly budget on the line. To win, at least one duo per act had to deliver a flawless performance during opening night. Beyond the fun and flair, the concert also became a touching mission of giving back, with proceeds going to charity and a rare chance for housemates to reunite with loved ones. </p><p>The show opened on a high note with all the remaining housemates hitting the stage for a vibrant sing-and-dance number. Not long after, it was time for the much-anticipated circus shows—starting with Team Jugglers composed of Dustin Yu, Xyriel Manabat, Mika Salamanca, and River Joseph, who, despite the pressure of being the first group, delivered an entertaining and coordinated routine, which they learned from professional circus performers. </p><div><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q00plAbxN3s" title="Day 70: Housemates&#x27; opening prod for the Big Carnival Concert | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Next came Team Flower Sticks, originally set to include Esnyr, Shuvee Etrata, Will Ashley, and Bianca De Vera. But due to an ankle injury Bianca sustained during rehearsals, she had to step back from performing. It was a tough call, especially since she and Will had trained hard for the presentation. Still, her team quickly adjusted and reworked their number, while Bianca stayed involved by taking on hosting duties for the event. Rounding out the circus segment was Team Plate Spinners, with AZ Martinez, Brent Manalo, Klarisse De Guzman, and Vince Maristela. </p><p>In between these circus acts, the housemates kept the energy alive with group performances. The boys brought swag and charm to the stage for their dance number, while the girls served up their best &#x27;awra&#x27; to  Michelle Dee&#x27;s latest single, &quot;Reyna.&quot; </p><div><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FLP5k2IaXBE" title="Day 70: Housemates show off at The Big Carnival Concert | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>And for the first time in two months, the housemates were allowed to interact with people from the outside world, as they welcomed live audiences, including special guests they personally chose to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Among them were the lucky guests of the four housemates who had earlier won the coveted golden seats—Klarisse, AZ, Vince, and Brent, who earned the privilege of inviting their mothers to witness the concert live.</p><div><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3zfgi0ZHe3M" title="Day 71: AZ, Klarisse, Vince, muling nayakap ang kanilang mga ina | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>However, in a sincere act of friendship, Brent chose to give up his golden seat so that fellow housemate Mika’s mom could take the spot instead. With his mother working abroad, he felt it was more meaningful to give someone else the moment he couldn’t have. That someone was Mika, whose shock turned to tears the moment Brent broke the news. </p><p>Big Brother then surprised Mika with a video call from her mom. She immediately asked Brent to join her in the confession room, where she introduced him to her Mommy Bambie. </p><div><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z8m_dxjIkPs" title="Day 71: Brent, ibinigay ang golden seat kay Mika | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RtffI0TYmtU" title="Day 71: Mika, ipinakilala si Brent sa kaniyang nanay Bambie | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Through all the spins, tosses, and twirls, what also stood out was the heart behind the show. The task showcased everyone&#x27;s shared effort and teamwork, from the performers giving it their all, to those stepping up behind the scenes when plans had to change. In the end, the housemates won their weekly task, and let friendship and compassion take center stage as well. </p><div><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eBbx6XxRxfQ" title="Day 71: Housemates, tagumpay sa Big Carnival Concert | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Another major &#x27;ganap&#x27; inside Bahay ni Kuya over the weekend was the return of two evicted housemates—one Kapamilya and one Kapuso—who were both voted back in by the &#x27;taumbayan&#x27; through the wildcard round.</p><p>Ralph de Leon, the “Dutiful Judo-son ng Cavite,” and Charlie Fleming, the “Bubbly Bread-teener ng Cagayan de Oro,” officially re-entered the house after topping their respective brackets in the public vote. </p><div><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sqS8z-0pWlM" title="Day 72: Ralph, official housemate na muli ni Kuya! | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8rEwBiGVd1I" title="Day 73: Charlie, official housemate na muli ni Kuya! | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Ralph dominated the Star Magic group with a landslide 81.28% of the votes, far ahead of AC Bonifacio’s 14.22% and Kira Balinger’s 4.50%. Meanwhile, Charlie led the Sparkle side with 40.44%, narrowly edging out Josh Ford (33.16%) and Ashley Ortega (26.40%). Other evicted duo Emilio Daez and Michael Sager had to withdraw from the wildcard round due to prior commitments.</p><div><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7DcNoJbPQNI" title="Day 71: The Big Comeback Official Tally of Votes | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>As soon as Ralph and Charlie re-entered, they were immediately looped into a secret task for the male housemates that requires them to stay hidden from the girls for a full week. If successful, the boys would earn the weekly budget for the entire house. So, expect a week full of sneaky strategies, quiet tiptoeing, and surprise reveals.</p><div><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xi5I2sFHOKg" title="Day 73: Boys, nahirapan sa unang gabi nina Ralph at Charlie | PBB Collab" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Between circus acts and golden surprises, &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u><em><strong>PBB Celebrity Collab Edition</strong></em></u></a>&quot; gave us a weekend bursting with entertainment and the kind of twists and turns that keep us coming back for more.</p><p>Catch &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u><em><strong>PBB Celebrity Collab Edition</strong></em></u></a>,&quot; airing weeknights at 10:00 p.m. and on weekends at 6:15 p.m. via GMA Network.
