The Pinoy Big Brother house just re-opened yesterday, to welcome 12 new housemates for another round of Pinoy reality TV goodness. This time around, 12 teens are going to battle it out on Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Teen Edition Plus. Now you might be wondering, what in the world does that extra "plus" mean in the title? Well, I apologize in the name of all spoilers but the "plus" in there actually denotes that aside from the usual 12 housemate/contestants that will be playing Kuya's game inside the PBB Teen Edition Plus house, there are two extra participants, two additional housemates that will be involved in Kuya's tasks and plans for the original housemates. So there's actually 12 PBB Teen Edition Plus official housemates, and then there are two additional housemates (hence, Plus) joining the gang. And that's a total of 14 official teen housemates.
From yesterday's show, it has also been confirmed the Luis Manzano will be joining the three lovely ladies (Bianca Gonzales, Toni Gonzaga, and Mariel Rodriguez) in hosting the new season of Pinoy Big Brother, PBB Teen Edition Plus. Here's the story published by ABS-CBN about the recent opening of the PBB house and airing of PBB Teen Edition Plus yesterday.
The most famous house in the country will open its doors once again this Easter Sunday to welcome its newest teen boarders during the premiere of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus.
A diverse group of housemates, a larger house, more challenging tasks and the unseen yet omnipotent Big Brother will once again keep the nation glued every night in ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida. The current season's new tag, "Plus," will also be revealed during the premiere.
The latest season of the teen edition of the hit reality show franchise also promises to showcase the best characteristics of the Filipino teenager.
Auditions were held in several cities across the country and abroad, and thousands of teenagers from all walks of life auditioned to become housemates.
Thirty potential teen housemates from different parts of the country, as well as from Filipino communities abroad, have been given "Dream Keys" by Big Brother, but only twelve will actually move on and live inside the house after a final round of housemate selection in Manila.
During the special PBB Teen Edition Plus primer aired last Sunday, several of the potential teen housemates have already been eliminated.
Aside from the trio of Toni Gonzaga, Bianca Gonzales and Mariel Rodriguez, MYX VJ Luis Manzano will be one of the hosts of the current season.
Gonzaga and Manzano will host PBB Teen Edition Plus on primetime. Rodriguez and Gonzales, meanwhile, will host PBB Teen Edition Plus Uber and PBB Teen Edition Plus Update, respectively.
The show has spawned the successful showbiz careers of former housemates, including teen stars Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Matt Evans, Mikee Lee, and Aldred Gatchalian.
The grand season opener for PBB Teen Edition Plus will start at 9 p.m. The regular primetime edition of the show will air Mondays to Fridays, after Lobo. Uber will also air weekdays at 5:30 p.m., while Update will be shown at regular intervals throughout the day.
