PBB Collab 2.0: Ultimate 8 protect white balls tied to 1M votes

The Ultimate 8 were put to the test as they were tasked to guard white balls, which were revealed to be worth one million votes.

On Thursday’s episode of “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0,” Kuya announced that the white balls the housemates had collected carry a major advantage for the upcoming Big Night, as they correspond to one million votes, which could directly affect their final standing.

Following the announcement, Kuya introduced a new challenge. Each housemate was given a container and asked to decide how many balls they would personally balance and protect. 

Heath Jornales was the first to step forward, followed by Miguel Vergara. Ashley Sarmiento joined next, then Princess Aliyah, Lella Ford, and Krystal Mejes. Caprice Cayetano later took her turn, with Joaquin Arce becoming the last to hold and balance a container.

Eventually, all eight housemates were guarding balls at the same time.

As per the rules, if a ball fell, they had only five seconds to pick it up and return it to the container. Otherwise, it would be deducted from their total.

Tension escalated when ninjas began entering the house one by one to distract them and attempt to steal the balls. Some housemates were momentarily drawn away, creating openings for the intruders.

Before the lights were turned off for bedtime, the ninjas had successfully stolen four balls out of the 40 being guarded.

Anticipating further attempts overnight, the housemates set up their sleeping area near the containers, covering the balls with a blanket, and positioned themselves around them to protect their remaining advantage as they rested.

The "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0" Big Night will be on February 28. —Carby Rose Basina/JCB, GMA Integrated News
