The stars aligned for Charlie Fleming and Esnyr, a.k.a. Chares, as they clinched the first spot in the coveted Big Four lineup of "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition" on the Monday episode, June 23, after earning the highest number of votes from the Duo Challengers and their co-housemates.
Before the voting, the remaining duos faced intense tasks with the evictees returning as Duo Challengers, which led up to the Big Tapatan, an interrogation where the challengers tested the duos’ Big Winner qualities, including their ‘pagpapakatotoo’ and ‘paninindigan.’
The Duo Challengers each voted for the tandem they wanted to secure the first spot in the Big Four, followed by the remaining duos who cast their votes one by one. The pairs of Ralph de Leon and Will Ashley (RaWi) and AZ Martinez and River Joseph (AzVer) each received two votes, while Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca (BreKa) and Dustin Yu and Bianca de Vera (DusBi) did not get any.
Among the duos that earned points, CharEs received the most, a total of 11, which officially made them the first pair to secure a place in the upcoming Big Night and have a shot at becoming the season’s Big Winner. They got votes from AzVer, DusBi, Klarisse de Guzman, Shuvee Etrata, Emilio Daez, Michael Sager, Kira Balinger, AC Bonifacio, Josh Ford, Ashley Ortega, and Vince Maristela.
Meanwhile, BreKa and DusBi voted for RaWi, while RaWi and Challenger Xyriel Manabat chose AzVer.
The episode ended with cheers as the housemates showed their happiness and support for CharEs, but also with tension over the announcement that the remaining duos would face the Big Jump challenges to determine who else makes it to lineup.
Then, on June 24, RaWi succeeded in the first Big Jump challenge, securing the second spot in the Big Four.
Stay tuned to find out which two duos will complete the Big Four of "PBB Collab," airing weeknights at 10:15 PM and Saturdays at 6:15 PM on Kapamilya Online Live.
