'PBB Celebrity Collab 2.0': Lella Ford names Caprice Cayetano as least deserving, addresses Joaquin Arce closeness

Lella Ford faced questions about respect, rule violations, and her relationships inside Kuya’s house as she took her turn in the hot seat.

On Wednesday’s “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0,” Lella took on the hot seat and answered pointed questions from ex-housemates, who judged each response as either truth or lie.

Below is the Q&A edited for length and clarity.

Q: On your jacket, it says your word for 2026, ang paggalang or respeto. Sa tingin mo, ano ‘yung isang pangyayari dito sa loob ng bahay na naipakita mo talaga at nanindigan ka sa respeto o paggalang.

Wala po akong masabing specific na situation pero everyday ko naman po kasi siya ina-apply.

Q: Lella sa iyong stay dito, minsan ka ng nabansagan na top violator. So paano mo naisabubuhay ‘yung paggalang bilang mantra or word kung ‘yung patakaran dito sa bahay ay medyo hindi mo nasusundan?

Doon po ako nagkulang sa respeto kay Big Brother. Sa kanya po talaga since bahay niya po ‘to. Hindi lang po kay Big Brother pero pati rin po sa, of course, my mom since ‘di ko po nasunod ‘yung mga bilin niya sa akin. Pero ayun nga po, ito po ‘yung panghahawakan ko po this 2026, ang paggalang. And I will make sure na ma-apply ko po siya this 2026.

Q: Na-mention mo may bilin ang iyong mommy na medyo hindi mo nasunod. Ano 'yun?

Na mag-follow po ng rules sa lahat, na sumunod lang po kay Kuya at makinig lang sa kanya. Pero sinabihan din naman po ako ni mama na to just be myself, just make mistakes, and learn from it. ‘Yun naman po ang importante.

Q: Hindi ka pa kailan man na-nominate kahit naging top violator ka. Sa tingin mo ba may bias ang housemates sa ‘yo dahil sa family background mo? Kung ibang housemate ang nasa posisyon mo, sa tingin mo ba pareho pa rin ang trato sa kanya?

I don't think may bias po sila. If meron man, imposibleng ako po ‘yun. Since every time meron po akong nagagawang mali, as in pino-point out po talaga nila. Kung iba po ‘yung top violator, I think pareho pa rin naman po ‘yung trato sa kanya. Yes, I'm the top violator, pero tinama ko po lahat ng mga mali ko at pinakita ko na I am more than my mistakes.

[I don't think may bias po sila. If they do have a bias, it's impossible that it's me, because every time I do something wrote, they point it out. If someone else was the top violator, I think they would also treat him/her the same way. Yes I am the top violater but I make sure to right my wrongs and to show that I am more than my mistakes.]

Question from Anton Vinzon: Sino ‘yung hindi karapat dapat na maging Ultimate 8. Sino sa ex-housemate ang gusto mong ipalit?

Si Caprice [Cayetano]. Ang gusto ko ipalit sa kanya is si Marco [Masa]. Last days niya dito, grabe, ang dami niyang naipakita at as in hindi lang as a housemate, but as a leader. Si Caprice kasi hindi ko pa nakita lahat ng sides niya sa mga leader-leader, hindi ko siya masyadong napansin.

[I think Caprice Cayetano doesn't deserve to be in the Top 8. I would replace her with Marco Masa. In his last days inside the house, he was able to show so much, not just as a housemate but as a leader. With Caprice, I haven't seen her leadership side, I haven't noticed it much.]

Question from John Clifford: I feel like ‘yung closeness niyo kasi ni Joaquin is hindi genuine. Paano mo ba ma-assure sa akin na hindi planado ‘tong love team na ‘to?

Una sa lahat, hindi love team ang pinasok ko dito. Una sa lahat. ‘Yun talaga ang pinakaayaw ko na ma-link ako sa iba.

Pumasok ako dito sa loob ng bahay to make a name for myself. This is my journey. This is supposed to be about me, not with anyone else. Ako ‘to, kwento ko ‘to. I mean sure, yeah, before we had some camera tests. ‘Yung mga pairing-pairing nung after our contract signing. Pero hindi predictable ‘yung mga nangyayari here inside. At kahit may mga plano ka outside, hindi mo ‘yun madadala dito inside sa sobrang tagal mong magse-stay dito. So, no, Clifford.

[First for all, I didn't enter PBB to get into a love team. That's the thing I dislike most, to get linked to others. I entered PBB to make a name for myself. This is my journey. This is supposed to be about me, not with anyone else. This is me. This is my story. I mean sure, because we had some camera tests and the pairings after our contract signing. But there isn't anything predictable about what happens here. And even if you had plans outside, you won't be able to bring it inside given how long the stay here is. So no, Clifford.]
