As Ella Cayabyab misses the chance to get to the Big Night, who among Amanda, Jie-Ann, Andrea, Liofer, Chico, Kobie, and Ralph, will succeed at becoming a member of the highly-coveted Big 4?
The exit of Ella Cayabyab, who has arguably one of the biggest followings among the housemates, means that the remaining housemates in the house are one step closer to winning this edition. At the moment, there are currently four male and three female housemates who are still vying to become this season’s big winner. As the majority of them have never been nominated, figuring out which among them will ultimately win the crowd is a difficult undertaking.
If Kuya decides the public votes will be the sole determinant for this season’s Big 4 selection, as the recent plug reveals that “big jump” will be once again used, the fate of the remaining 7 housemates now rests on each of them. While that may be the most likely scenario, the winner of this season will definitely be decided by the public.
Should the public’s opinion be tapped for the selection of Big 4, previously nominated housemates, Amanda, Kobie, and Ralph, has a close to perfect chance of getting in. With Amanda emerging with the biggest possibility, as suggested by her overwhelming lead over latest evictee Ella Cayabyab who hurdled five nominations before finally getting evicted on February 28.
Kobie Brown first became nominated for eviction during the third nomination night and placed second among fellow nominees, Haira, Crismar, and Russu. He was again included on the list on the ninth nomination night, where he emerged second in the voting, besting fellow nominees, Ralph and Quincy, and coming just less than two percent behind Ella, who received the most votes. Similarly, Ralph got nominated twice, during the seventh and ninth nomination nights, ending up in second and third places, respectively.
Amanda, on the other hand, was included in the ninth set of nominees where she went just against Ella, to win the voters. Her 38.75% combined BBS (Votes to Save) and BBE (Votes to Evict), is so far, the highest recorded since this season started which suggests that she’s one to reckon with this season.
While Andrea, never got into the list of nominees for eviction, there are strong indications of her massive following outside the house. She’s been consistently shipped with her two fellow housemates—Kobie and Crismar—by faithful followers on social media. Liofer, on the other hand, has a big chance of emerging victorious through the Big Jump event, which means his shot to win the season remains big, at the moment. Jie-Ann, meanwhile, possesses a strong big winner prototype, which may likely turn her into a dark horse in the coming voting.
That being said, anything can still happen. This may not be the loudest season ever, but at least—after all the challenges ABS-CBN faced last year—it will conclude with a compelling success. Although it remains to be seen whether or not the winner of this season is looking at a fruitful career.
Airing over A2Z Channel 11, Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, and iWantTFC, ‘PBB Connect’ will hold its finale episode on March 14, 2021, crowning its 15th Big Winner, since its debut in 2005.
