‘Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11’ names Fyang Smith as Big Winner; program scores historic viewership

The latest season of the long-running reality show is its most-successful since 2020.

On Saturday, October 26, ABS-CBN’s franchised reality program ‘Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11’ held its ‘Big Night’ in Quezon City.

During the grand season finale, the remaining four contestants of the season, namely Fyang Smith, Kai Montinola, Kolette Madelo, and Rain Celmar, saw their fate after a week-long public voting for the next ‘Big Winner’ of the show.

Smith emerged as the winner of ‘Gen 11’ after garnering 30.66 percent of the total votes.

The 19-year-old housemate brings home the Php 1 million cash prize, along with a house and lot, and a tour package to South Korea.

In second place and bagging the Php 500,000 cash prize, meanwhile, is Celmar who got 26.05% of the votes.

With 25.91% of votes, this season’s third placer is Madelo who will take home Php 300,000.

Lastly, the fourth spot and the Php 200,000 prize went to Montinola after she received a voting percentage of 17.38%.

Special guests for the ‘Big Night’ are alums of the reality show, led by Joshua Garcia, James Reid, and Maymay Entrata, among others.

‘Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11’ also proved to be the most-successful season of the show since the events of the ABS-CBN shutdown in 2020.

This, as the ‘Big Night’ scored the highest live concurrent views of all-time for the Kapamilya Online Live web-based channel on Facebook and YouTube with more than 2.2 million peak cumulative viewers tuning in for the grand finale.

It is the highest since the August 2020 launch of the service, besting the peak live viewership of primetime drama ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’ that stands at little more than 800,000 at the moment.
