The mood inside Bahay ni Kuya turned a little emotional after the "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab 2.0" housemates went through their first nomination night.

The nominated group Rays of Sunshine—Fred Moser, Princess Aliyah, Waynona Collings, and their leader Reich Alim—understandably felt down but they also took the chance to reflect on what might have caused their fellow housemates to nominate them.
Even the other housemates, especially those close to the nominated group, felt heavy-hearted too. Right after the announcement, Rave Victoria hugged his good friend Fred and whispered that he doesn't want him to leave. To him, Fred is one of the kindest people and deserves the chance to show more of himself inside the house.
Fred was seen quietly wiping his tears even while trying to mingle with the others. Inside the confession room, he admitted to Big Brother that he isn’t perfect and has made mistakes, but he also knows he’s done some things right. He acknowledged that he’s still learning and growing. Reflecting on the result of the nomination, he said it might have been because of his “below-the-belt” jokes
Fred shared that improvement is something he constantly strives for, especially since he’s an athlete. The values he picks up from basketball, like the importance of listening to a coach, are lessons he tries to carry with him wherever he goes.
To encourage him, Kuya reminded Fred that being called out for his mistakes doesn’t mean people are trying to put him down, but rather that they care and want him to grow. Big Brother added that his fellow housemates likely just want him to learn and continue improving.
After the nomination, the girls rallied around the nominated housemates Waynona, Princess, and Reich to comfort them. Inside the girls' room Kapuso housemates Waynona and Princess consoled each other. They felt especially sad since they had only just become close after being grouped together, and now, one of them might have to leave by the end of the week.
In the confession room, Princess admitted to Big Brother that she’s still learning to open up to others, which, unbeknownst to her, was actually one of the reasons their group received nomination points. Still, she promised to stay strong and to give her best this week so that, whatever happens, she won’t have any regrets.
Waynona also couldn’t hold back her tears as she expressed how much she still wants to stay. She said there’s still a lot she wants to prove and that she’ll make sure to spend the week showing her best self.
Reich got emotional after the first nomination, but housemates John Clifford and Marco Masa were right there to comfort her. She told them she felt hurt by the nomination, especially as the group’s leader, because she believes every member of her team deserves to stay.
As an introvert, Reich said she sometimes worries that people might see her as “too emotional” or “overacting,” but Clifford assured her that no one has the right to invalidate someone’s feelings. The two boys encouraged Reich to let her emotions out.
In her talk with Big Brother, Reich tried to smile but confessed that she’s been struggling to keep it together. She admitted it's really difficult to be nominated, especially for an introvert like her. Growing up, she only made friends through her dad’s help and often spent time playing alone with her dolls. Homeschooling, she added, made her even more reserved, which is why it took a lot of courage for her to approach Iñigo Jose and open up about how he hurt her feelings during their second weekly task.
Before lights out, Reich confided in Joaquin Arce about how she still felt hurt from their previous task when Iñigo, at one point, pressed that only Clifford should speak while their group was moving the diorama, which made her feel silenced and ignored even when she wanted to speak up.

As seen in a previous episode, Anton Vinzon had already helped her approach Iñigo since she didn’t know how to start the conversation. But because the issue continued to bother her, Joaquin offered to mediate between her and Iñigo, until Anton was dragged in the discussion.
The talk got a little messy but ended calm, with everyone speaking openly about what happened. Reich explained that she felt cut off, which Iñigo acknowledged, though he thought he had nothing to apologize for. By the end of the night, the misunderstanding was cleared, leading to reconciliation and realizations for the four housemates.
If nomination night brought tears, the next morning was all screams and ‘kilig’! The housemates woke up to the trailer of “Meet, Greet & Bye” blasting on the living room TV as their wake-up call, and the girls went wild.
The female housemates burst into loud squeals, with Ashley Sarmiento fangirling the hardest after hearing the voice of her crush, Joshua Garcia. The trailer gave everyone a hint that the film’s cast might soon visit Bahay ni Kuya as houseguests, and while Ashley was hoping to meet Joshua, Princess couldn’t help but wish for Piolo Pascual to show up too.
Get ready for double 'kilig' and fun as Joshua and Piolo make their entrance on “PBB Collab 2.0”!
