Pinoy Big Brother is a Philippine reality game show based on the Dutch reality game show, Big Brother. The show revolves around a group of housemates (contestants) who volunteer to reside in the Pinoy Big Brother house for a set number of days as they compete against each other to be the Big Winner.[1]
Contestants are selected through live site and online auditions, with individuals of foreign origin being eligible to compete in the show.[2] Age requirements were implemented in all seasons.[3] For Connect and Kumunity Season 10, which were held amid the COVID-19 pandemic, all auditions were conducted online, with the age requirement being raised to 16 in compliance with quarantine protocols.[4]
While most housemates leave the house via public vote, some had exited the house by their own will in an action known as a "Voluntary Exit".[5] In addition, a housemate can be removed from the game via a "Forced Eviction" as a result of rule violations or medical emergencies.[6][7] In several occasions, evicted housemates are given a chance to return to the house via public voting or wildcard competitions.[8]
Since its inaugural season in 2005, the show has featured 392 housemates (separately counting two housemates who played as one) in three different editions; 185 regulars, 60 celebrities and 147 teens. Teen Edition Plus saw 14 guardians competing in a separate competition alongside the main teen edition. Otso had Star Dreamers compete for a chance to enter the house as a housemate to replace the weekly evictee wherein a total of 13 star dreamers failed to do so.
A total of 17 winners have been crowned with one season crowning two. Anji Salvacion of Kumunity Season 10 is the most recent winner.[9] 64 housemates became finalists and there have been 245 evictions, 23 voluntary exits and 26 forced evictions.
