ShuKla, KiSh, MiLi and all the other duos formed in 'Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition'
The "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" featured the fresh dynamic between Sparkle and Star Magic artists—not just as individual housemates, but also as duos working together to complete various tasks and support each other.
In the span of almost four months, the show has formed many pairings who got to know each other, became friends, and embraced each other as family inside Bahay ni Kuya.
Here is a complete summary of all the duos formed from the premiere of the show.
First duo formation
- AZ Martinez and Esnyr (AzNyr)
- Brent Manalo and Michael Sager (MeNt)
- Charlie Fleming and AC Bonifacio (AcLie)
- Dustin Yu and Klarisse De Guzman (DuKla)
- Mika Salamanca and Ralph De Leon (RaMi)
- River Joseph and Will Ashley (WilVer)
- Josh Ford and Kira Balinger (KiSh)
- Ashley Ortega and Ivana Alawi (IvAsh)
Housemates formed duos through a game similar to "The Boat is Sinking," gradually grouping from eight to two with equal Sparkle and Star Magic members. Kuya then named these pairs as their official partners for the first cycle.
Ivana Alawi ended up pairing with Ashley Ortega, who was unaware that the former is just a house guest.
Second duo formation
- AC and Ashley (AcLey)
- AZ and Kira (KiZ)
- Bianca De Vera and Charlie (CharBi)
- Brent and Mika (MEnt)
- Dustin and Esnyr (DusNyr)
- Josh and Klarisse (JoKla)
- Ralph and Michael (RaMi)
- Will and River (WillVer 2.0)
For the second round of duo formation, housemates randomly formed new pairs by choosing rope ends—blue representing Sparkle and red for Star Magic—and matching them. Charlie was exempt from the activity because of her immunity, and Bianca entered the house only after the new duos had already been formed.
As a result, Charlie and Bianca were paired together and granted immunity from the first nomination.
Nominated duos: AcLey - 9 points, RaMi - 10 points, WilVer - 8 points
Evicted: AcLey
Third duo formation
- AZ and Ralph (RaZ)
- Bianca and Mika (MiBi)
- Brent and Dustin (BreTin)
- Charlie and Kira (ChaKira)
- Esnyr and Josh (JoshNyr)
- Klarisse and Will (WiKla)
- River and Michael (MicVer)
- Vince Maristela and Emilio Daez (ViLio)
The third duos were formed through a timed game where housemates scored points by moving balls across pedestals. The highest-ranking housemate then chose a partner they hadn't paired with before.
Vince and Emilio were paired automatically as they were new housemates.
Nominated duos: ChaKira - 9 points, MicVer - 7 points, RaZ - 6 points
Evicted: ChaKira
Fourth duo formation
- AZ and Bianca (BiAz)
- Brent and Vince (BrInce)
- Dustin and Ralph (RaSti)
- Esnyr and Will (Winyr)
- Mika and Klarisse (MiKla)
- Michael and Emilio (MiLi)
- River and Josh (JoshVer)
- Shuvee Etrata and Xyriel Manabat (VeeRiel)
The housemates took on a task that involved scooping balls with correct answers based on a press conference featuring the new housemates, Shuvee and Xyriel. The first to retrieve both correct balls earned the chance to choose a new partner, though they couldn't select someone they had already been paired with. As newcomers, Shuvee and Xyriel were automatically paired together.
Nominated duos: BrInce - 13 points, MiLi - 5 points, RaSti - 5 points
Evicted: MiLi
Fifth duo formation
- AZ and Klarisse (AKla)
- Bianca and Shuvee (ShuCa)
- Josh and Ralph (JoRa)
- Mika and Esnyr (EsMi)
- Vince and River (ViVer)
- Will and Brent (Went)
- Xyriel and Dustin (XyDust)
The fifth set of duos was created through a kendama challenge, where the top-ranked housemate earned the right to choose a partner—except they couldn't select anyone they had previously teamed up with.
Nominated duos: JoRa - 9 points, ShuCa - automatic nomination, XyDust - 6 points

Sixth duo formation
- AZ and Brent (BrAz)
- Dustin and River (DuRiver)
- Esnyr and Shuvee (EsVee)
- Klarisse and Vince (ViKla)
- Mika and Xyriel (MiRiel)
- Will and Bianca (WillBi)
Duos were formed through a game where housemates dragged cups with balls across a finish line, restarting if a ball dropped. The fastest unpaired housemate earned the right to pick a new partner, excluding previous partners.
No nomination and eviction was held during this week to give way for the two wildcard slots, won by Ralph and Charlie.
Kuya later implemented an individual nomination mechanism. Four housemates gained immunity through the two Big Intensity Challenges, and the rest got nominated.
Immune housemates: AZ, Esnyr, Ralph, and Shuvee
Evicted: Vince and Xyriel
Final duo
- AZ and River (AzVer)
- Bianca and Dustin (DusBi)
- Esnyr and Charlie (CharEs)
- Mika and Brent (BreKa)
- Ralph and Will (RaWi)
- Shuvee and Klarisse (ShuKla)
The remaining housemates competed in a final duo formation task with staggered head starts and a "freeze" advantage for challenge winners. They had to memorize and correctly arrange wooden poles with pictures of their loved ones, restarting if they made mistakes. The task ranked the housemates from first to 12th, with Ralph finishing first and Esnyr last.
Nominated duos: AzVer - 7 points, DusBi - 13 points, ShuKla - 3 points
Evicted: ShuKla
No more duo shuffling was done after this, and the five remaining duos went through the Big Tapatan and Big Jump challenges to make it to the Big Four.
DusBi was the last duo to be evicted after failing to get a spot in the Big Night, which will be held on July 5 at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City. —MGP, GMA Integrated News
