Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition is giving former housemates a second shot at re-entering the house through a wildcard twist.
Hosts Bianca Gonzalez and Gabbi Garcia on Sunday, May 11, 2025, revealed that six previously evicted participants will compete for a chance to return.

The six hopefuls—AC Bonifacio, Ashley Ortega, Charlie Fleming, Kira Balinger, Josh Ford, and Ralph De Leon—will battle it out individually for the two spots.
One returning housemate will come from the Kapamilya camp, and another from the Kapuso side.
The results based on votes from fans and viewers will be announced by the end of the week.

The announcement was met with excitement from viewers, many of whom took to social media to share which former housemates they hoped to see return.

Others vouch for Charlie Fleming, with a viewer citing that she wasn't given "proper screentime" and a chance to prove herself in the show.
"Kira [Balinger] deserves this chance [two crying emojis]," a fan wrote.
Kapuso actress Ashley Ortega, who, along with AC Bonifacio, was the first to be evicted from the show, appears to be receiving strong support from viewers and fans, at least on social media, who are eager to see her return to the PBB house.
"I only want Ashley back," a netizen remarked, while another said, "pabalikin nyo si ashleyyyy."
On Sunday, Ashley posted on Instagram to appeal for her fans’ support in helping her return to the program.
