In "Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition"'s 2nd Big Jump Challenge, the remaining duos AzVer (AZ Martinez and River Joseph), DusBi (Dustin Yu and Bianca de Vera), and BreKa (Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca) were challenged to piece together seven massive blocks that spelled out “BIG FOUR” using only their bodies to keep them upright and connected. One by one, they had to lift and position each block, with a new letter added at Big Brother's signal. The difficulty ramped up with each passing hour as the row of blocks grew longer and heavier. The pair who could hold the completed stack the longest without letting any block fall would claim the third Big Four slot.
By the second hour, Kuya announced that each duo would have the chance to use a 100-second rest power once at any time they wished. However, by the time the fourth block was added, Kuya raised the stakes by banning sitting.
Night was beginning to fall by the fourth hour, and the duos were already holding six blocks pressed between their bodies, supported mainly by their arms. DusBi was noticeably exhausted yet determined, while BreKa looked increasingly unsure of their next move. Meanwhile, AzVer kept motivating each other. “R for reaching our dreams,” AZ said as they added the sixth block.
Light rain set in by the fifth hour, and each duo tried to figure out how to put on their raincoats without letting go of the blocks. Kuya also announced that they could no longer support or hold the blocks from underneath or the sides. Brent, however, tried to be confident, saying endurance was his and Mika’s strength.
A little later, AZ told River that she needed to use their 100-second rest power. AZ was already feeling lightheaded and her body felt like it was about to give out from exhaustion, which River noticed right away so he rushed to grab some donuts, hoping the quick snack would help AZ recover. After their 100-second break, they had just 30 seconds to reposition all the blocks between them before the countdown ran out.
Then Big Brother announced another rule change. The duo could no longer use their bodies to support the blocks and had to rely on their hands alone, basically pushing the blocks from both ends to keep them in place.
By the sixth hour, Kuya raised the difficulty even further by announcing that each duo could now use only one hand each to keep the blocks steady, and once they chose which hand to use, there would be no switching allowed. The tension spiked instantly, and it didn’t take long before the stacks of DusBi and BreKa started to wobble dangerously.
DusBi’s stack was the first to fall, and as the pieces crashed to the floor, Dustin quickly wrapped his arms around Bianca to comfort her. BreKa's blocks then grew increasingly unstable, with Brent and Mika struggling to agree on how to hold them, until their stack collapsed, leaving Brent visibly upset and Mika disappointed.
When Kuya finally declared AzVer the winners of the challenge, AZ burst into tears, crying out, “Thank you, Lord!” as the other duos—including DusBi and BreKa—cheered and applauded their victory.
