The ‘Big Comeback’ is real.
On Sunday, May 18, ‘Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition’ officially announced the return of two previously evicted housemates—Kapamilya actor Ralph de Leon and Kapuso talent Charlie Fleming—as permanent housemates for the rest of the season.
The wildcard twist, which opened public voting to bring back one ex-Kapamilya and one ex-Kapuso contestant, culminated in a landslide victory for Ralph and a tightly contested win for Charlie.
Ralph, dubbed the ‘Dutiful Judo-son of Cavite,’ dominated the wildcard race among the Kapamilya housemates with an impressive 81.28% of the total votes, leaving AC Bonifacio (14.22%) and Kira Balinger (4.50%) far behind. He was previously evicted during the fourth eviction night alongside his partner Josh Ford.
Meanwhile, ‘Bubbly Bread-teener of Cagayan de Oro’ Charlie Fleming outpaced her fellow Kapuso evictees with 40.44%, just edging out Josh Ford (33.16%) and Ashley Ortega (26.40%). Charlie was initially evicted during the second elimination alongside Kira Balinger.
Upon reentering the ‘PBB’ house, Ralph was immediately given a secret mission as part of the 11th weekly task. Meanwhile, Charlie made her entrance to much fanfare, marking a fresh start in her journey inside Kuya’s house.
Both celebrities now rejoin the mix of housemates, bringing renewed energy and a second chance at becoming part of the Big 4.
‘Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition’ airs weeknights at 10 PM on GMA Network and weekends at 6:15 PM, with streaming available via Kapamilya Online Live and A2Z.
