While the doors of the “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition” house reopened for two wildcard returnees, several fan favorites narrowly missed the cut—but their spirits remain unshaken.
Celebrity housemates Ashley Ortega, Josh Ford, Kira Balinger, and AC Bonifacio took to social media not to mourn a missed opportunity, but to celebrate the overwhelming support they received from fans during the wildcard voting round.
Ashley Ortega, known for her calm presence and bright personality inside the house, shared a heartfelt message on TikTok. Radiating positivity, she posted, “Spreading good vibes and love to everyone! Thank you for all the votes and support. I’ll bounce back stronger in the outside world!”
Josh Ford, whose authenticity won over many viewers, expressed his appreciation on X (formerly Twitter). “To everyone who voted and rooted for me—I see you and I thank you. Your support means the world. This isn’t the end, it’s just the beginning of something else.”
Kira Balinger took a reflective tone, emphasizing that connection with fans goes beyond numbers. “Love isn’t measured in votes. I’ve felt your kindness, your belief in me, and I carry that with me. This journey is more meaningful because of you.”
Meanwhile, AC Bonifacio, who garnered over 14% of the wildcard votes, reminded followers that her story is far from over. “Thank you for believing in me and fighting for me. Hindi pa tapos ang laban—maraming salamat po!” she wrote on Instagram.
Although Charlie Fleming and Ralph De Leon earned the wildcard spots to re-enter the “PBB” house, the conversation online wasn’t just about the two comebacks—it was about the resilience and gratitude shown by those who narrowly missed theirs.
As the show continues airing on GMA Network—weeknights at 10 p.m. and weekends at 6:15 p.m.—viewers can expect the drama to intensify. But outside the house, former housemates are gearing up to chase their own dreams, backed by a community that continues to root for them.
Their eviction may have closed one door, but for Ashley, Josh, Kira, and AC, it’s clear: the spotlight is still very much theirs to own.
