In a separate post, Josh and Vince took a moment to reminisce about their PBB experience, expressing gratitude for the lessons they learned and sending messages of support to the new batch.
“Seeing a new season of PBB brings back so many memories. I’m forever grateful for that once in a lifetime experience that taught me so much about myself and about treating people with love, patience, and kindness. I’ll always carry those lessons with me. Once a housemate, always a housemate. Wishing all the new housemates good luck on their journey, especially my friends who are part of this season, cheering for you always 🙌,” Josh said.
Vince added, “As someone who’s lived inside that house, I know how it feels — the mix of nerves, excitement, and wonder every time those doors close. You’ll laugh, cry, and grow in ways you never expected. The house has a way of showing who you truly are, and that’s what makes the journey unforgettable. So take it all in, make memories that’ll last forever, and own every moment — confidently and unapologetically. 💙.”
