Restarting their journey inside the house.
On Sunday, May 18, the jointly-produced reality show ‘Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition‘ of ABS-CBN Studios and GMA Network announced the two returning permament housemates of this season.
The ex-housemates given a second lease in life in the game are Star Magic actor Ralph de Leon and Sparkle’s rising young artist Charlie Fleming.
De Leon, the ‘Dutiful Judo-son of Cavite,’ was evicted with his former duo Josh Ford after garnering the least number of votes in the fourth eviction night held last May 10.
Fleming, who got the moniker ‘Bubbly Bread-teener of Cagayan de Oro,’ departed the house by the end of the second eviction night after lagging behind in the text votes with her partner, Kira Balinger.
Both celebrities took the top spot in the week-long public voting that determined who will be securing their ‘Big Comeback‘ to the ‘Big Brother‘ house.
Ralph was overwhelmingly voted in by viewers, amassing 81.28% of the votes, followed by the distant second and third placers in the Kapamilya side, AC Bonifacio (14.22%) and Kira Balinger (4.50%).
Meanwhile, Charlie had a much tighter race with her Kapuso peers, where she got 40.44% and was followed closely by Josh Ford with 33.16% of the total votes. Ashley Ortega trailed behind them with a modest 26.40% score.
Upon his return to the ‘PBB‘ house, Ralph was immediately informed by Kuya himself of his first task, where he will be the “hidden gift” for the 11th weekly challenge of the housemates.
