Garcia is one of two new Kapuso artists added to this landmark edition’s roster of hosts.
Kapuso star Gabbi Garcia pours her heart out on X, reflecting on her transformative journey as a host of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Celebrity Collab Edition. In a poignant 3 a.m. post on June 21, Garcia shared, “Iniisip ko palang na matatapos na yung PBB season na ‘to, nasasad na ko Hosting this show became such a core memory. ‘Di lang siya trabaho, it’s a journey that gave me growth, purpose, and so much heart. Sana magkaroon pa ng chance to host another season, kasa grabe na yung attachment at pagmamahal ko sa show na ‘to.”
This candid confession has struck a chord with fans and netizens, spotlighting her deep emotional investment in the reality show that premiered on GMA Network in March 2025.
Garcia’s hosting stint, alongside a dynamic lineup including Bianca Gonzalez and Robi Domingo, marked a significant pivot from her acting roots in dramas like Unbreak My Heart. Her role in PBB’s innovative format—featuring the “Eviction Room” head-to-head and a “Wild Card” comeback round—has been lauded for injecting freshness into the franchise.
Fans have particularly praised her empathetic hosting style, with her tearful reactions to housemate evictions becoming a viral highlight. This emotional resonance aligns with psychological insights from the Journal of Media Psychology (2023), which suggest immersive TV roles foster significant personal growth—a sentiment Garcia echoes in her post.

With PBB’s 2025 viewership spiking by 15% per GMA analytics, Garcia’s wish for another season seems plausible. Her blend of professionalism and heartfelt affection for the housemates has not only elevated the show but also cemented her status as a beloved host.

With ABS-CBN currently holding auditions for the next PBB season, there’s a strong possibility the show will return on GMA Network, and given her standout performance, Gabbi Garcia could very well rejoin the hosting lineup.
