After 19 weeks, (from left, clockwise) Paul Jake Castillo, Jason Francisco, Tibo Jumalon, Johan Santos, and (center) Melissa Cantiveros became the strongest contenders, who had proven to Big Brother and the viewers that they deserve to be in the Big Five.

These customized beetle Volkswagens brought the housemates from PBB house in Quezon City to Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Manila.

PBB host Toni Gonzaga opened the program with the Chang Kai Shek dance group.

After the opening number, the host-actress was accompanied by the ex-PBB Double Up housemates. Everyone was wearing a Chinese-inspired outfit in time for the Chinese New Year celebration. 

The Big Five were introduced via a medley of songs performed by (from left, clockwise) Bugoy Drilon, Jay-R Siaboc, Mark Bautista, Teddy Corpuz, and (center) Yeng Constantino.

Fake housemate, Indian Harish Kumar Singh (center), joined the production number of the evicted housemates.
