Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 2 was the second celebrity edition of the Pinoy Big Brother franchise. It started on October 14, 2007 and ended twelve weeks later on January 5, 2008 at the Araneta Coliseum. It was supposed to end on December 22, 2007, but it was announced on November 19, 2007 to be extended for two more weeks.
Toni Gonzaga reprised her role as the primetime host, while ex-Update host Bianca Gonzalez helmed a brand new show, Pinoy Big Brother Über. UpLate host Mariel Rodriguez also hosted Über for seven days with Bianca; but for rest of the program's duration, she was also the House's first and longest-staying houseguest. This new season also marked the hosting debut of second season winner, Beatriz Saw as she hosted the Updates.
The theme song, Sikat ang Pinoy originally sung by host Toni Gonzaga and PBB 1 alum Sam Milby, was rehashed and was performed by Pinoy Dream Academy Grand Star Dreamer Yeng Constantino and PDA finalist Eman Abatayo.
There are several changes or twists for this season:
Unlike past editions, Studio 23 did not air a companion program for the show. But it still continued to present delayed feed from inside the House during noontime.

For this Celebrity Edition, the House is the refurbished one used in the second regular season. But unlike the previous Celebrity Edition wherein the housemates entered into an almost empty House, this edition's housemates entered into a royalty-themed house, now containing murals, chandeliers, posh furniture, and lighting fixtures. The gym equipment is now found in the garden. The room previously used by the men in the second regular season is now used by the women, and vice versa. The original bathroom is now the special shower room to be used exclusively by the Head of Household and his/her chosen companion. One of the two original "his-her" restrooms is now the general shower/bath room while the other has become the general restroom.
Also added is a jail cell-like Punishment Room found along the way towards the confession and storage rooms. This is where the housemates who committed violations would stay and perform an assigned punishment until Big Brother's further instructions.
Later, to accommodate Baron and Donald while making their decision on which brother should return to the House area after the fake eviction, the secret room used in the second regular season was again used. It now appears larger and has been repainted white with pink streaks.
"Thirteen" (including the 2-in-1 housemates) is the official count of housemates who entered the House. The first "eight" housemates (including the 2-in-1 housemates for both genders) entered the House on Day 1, October 14. The first seven were introduced each, in silhouette before revelation. The eighth housemate was introduced through in a Deal or No Deal-esque style, since one of the 26K ladies was about to enter. The surprise housemates were also introduced with one hiding inside a giant travel bag while the other being acknowledged to the live audience before proceeding into the House's activity area. The last five housemates entered on Days 2 to 4. They are listed here in order of entrance.
Each housemate is assigned a housemate number depending on their entry to the House; the Geisler brothers and the 26K models are assigned the numbers 7 and 8 respectively. These numbers are used in voting a particular housemate by SMS. This is a deviation from past editions wherein voting is done by name. After the Geisler brothers' split as a 2-in-1 housemate on Day 39, Baron's is assigned the old number 7 while Donald was given the number 14. But after Donald's exit, the voting was reverted to the by-name format.
William "Will" Devaughn Stumpf (born: February 27, 1982) is a commercial model and endorser. He has notably appeared in several commercials shown in the Philippines. He is profiled as a "German with Filipino blood" whose Filipino-American biological father left him with his German mother.[1] He is playing for the Brave Kids Foundation. On Day 84, he was proclaimed the fourth placer of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2.
Megan Lynne Young (born February 27, 1990) is an actress and former GMA Network talent. She is the first StarStruck star to transfer to rival station, ABS-CBN, in a bid to change her image from a villain to a "nice girl." She played one of the supporting characters in the sci-fi series Kokey along with first Celebrity Edition Housemate, Zanjoe Marudo. She played for the P.R.E.D.A. Foundation.

She competed under the Canadian flag in the Miss Earth 2006 pageant. She is playing for Bantay Bata, ABS-CBN Foundation's charitable institution. On Day 84, she was proclaimed the second placer of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2.
Ruben Gonzaga (born March 16, 1982) is a comedian in Davao. He is most noted there for his "Budotz Dance" (set to the music of Papi chulo (Te traigo el mmmm) by Panamanian group Lorna & La Factoria). He is not related to host Toni Gonzaga due obviously to their home bases. He is playing for Cosugian, a Home for The Aged in Davao City. On Day 84, he was proclaimed the big winner of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2.
Victor Basa (born June 6, 1985) is a model, TV host, actor and teen idol. He was introduced as an illegitimate son who never saw his father until after the latter's death. He played for the Ahon sa Kalye Ministries.
Maria Rosario "Yayo" Aguila (born September 16, 1967) is an actress and former teen idol introduced in the movie Bagets. After her marriage with William Martinez, she left showbiz to migrate to United States, only to return after finding no luck there. She is currently restarting her showbiz career. She is the eldest among the housemates. She is playing for the Bagets Foundation.
Baron Geisler (born June 5, 1982) is an actor and former teen idol with half-German blood. He was introduced as being previously addicted to alcohol and was involved in numerous brawls. One of those brawls, in fact, left him with two visible scars on his left cheek. Now sober, he aims to try his best to be good son and brother.
He and his brother Donnie were dubbed as a "2-in-1 Housemate" where the two would be nominated as one unit.
Marylaine Viernes (born September 29, 1986) is a member of the 26K models who appear in the game show Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal. She also writes a column for the Manila Times. She was accused of being "bipolar" because, according to her, she was at one time nerdy, but also took part at activities such as the cheerleading squad. To make her introduction a bit of a surprise, she entered along with the rest of the 26K while that show's Banker took her supposed place.
She and Jen were dubbed as a "2-in-1 Housemate" where the two would be nominated as one unit.
Jennifer "Jen" Da Silva (born December 4, 1989) is former member of the 26K models. She was in the same show as Marylaine, but soon left because of personal differences with the other models. Because of their Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal connection, she and Marylaine were dubbed as the "2-in-1 Housemate" where the two would be nominated as one unit. [2] The two played for the Advocates For Youth Foundation.
Donald David Geisler III (born October 6, 1979) or "Donnie" is a retired Olympic taekwondo-jin and older brother of Baron Geisler. While he confesses as being a bit of a "wild child" like his brother, he tries to make his best for his son and for Baron. From Day 1 until Day 38, he and his brother, Baron, were considered as a "2-in-1 Housemate". They were separated as individual and independent housemates on Day 38. [2] The two played for the KIDS Foundation.
Gabrielle Chanel "Gaby" Baltao dela Merced (born June 10, 1982) is a female Formula Three driver. She is an extreme sports nut who has also appeared in the local FHM. She mentioned that even though she came from a broken family, she doesn't show any signs of it, because she believes "life exists to make people happy." After her initial exit on Day 28, she returned to the house on Day 44 after the PBB staff surprised her at the airport during her arrival from US and asked her if she wants to come back to the PBB house, which she agreed. She is playing for the I Can Serve Foundation. On Day 84, she was proclaimed the third placer of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2.
Marco "Mcoy" Fundales (born November 3, 1977) is the former frontman of the band Orange and Lemons, the band who sang the franchise's main theme, Pinoy Ako. He recounted how he lost both his first-born daughter and his father and how he went on with life. Prior to his entry to the House, the band had already announced their break-up due to differences between band members and their managers. He played for the Emmaus Home for the Aged in Malolos, Bulacan.
Zephorah "Zara" Aldana Mayon or Zara Aldana (born April 17, 1989) is a former Mutya ng Pilipinas-Asia Pacific, winning the title in 2007. She gave up her crown in less than two months of her reign after controversies hounded her due to poverty. She played for the St. Camillus Medhaven in Marikina City.
Jon Mullaly Avila (born September 1, 1985) is a commercial model and promotional model. He is half-British and half-Filipino. He faced racial discrimination back in the United Kingdom because of his Asian looks. He has stayed in the Philippines where his European complexion becomes noticeable to many. He is playing for the Tahanang Sta. Luisa in Quezon City.
Ethel Gabison a.k.a. Ethel Booba (born December 17, 1976) is a famous recording artist and comedienne, most known as a pasaway (rebellious or annoying person). Like Megan, she was a talent from GMA, but later transferred to ABS-CBN. She was noted for her controversial relationship with basketball player Alex Crisano. Although she initially wanted to back out from the show, she eventually made the decision to enter on Day 4. She played for the C.R.I.B.S. Foundation. She returned to the house on Day 59, but as a houseguest.
As a result of Mcoy Fundales and Ethel Booba's voluntary exit on Day 40 (November 22, 2007), replacement housemates were introduced in the house. Ex-housemate Gaby dela Merced re-entered the house on Day 44 (November 26, 2007) while new replacement housemate Gladys Guevarra entered the house on Day 46 (November 28, 2007).
Gladys Guevarra (born February 22, 1977) is a comedienne and voice impersonator who previously worked in GMA 7. She was also the former lead vocalist of the band Gladys and the Boxers with K in which they were noted for their hit song Sasakyan Kita ("I'm gonna ride on with you"). She rose to prominence during her stint in noontime GMA show Eat Bulaga! Internal rifts and scandals, especially involving Janno Gibbs forced her to leave the show and eventually switch networks. To add further confusion and mystery to her identity before her entrance, she imitated the voices of Annabelle Rama and midget actress Mahal. She left the house on Day 58 due to depression and boredom.
Like the second regular season, there are also houseguests who stayed in the House for no more than a specific amount of time without undergoing the nomination and eviction process.
Host Mariel Rodriguez is the first houseguest. She was "trapped" in the House by Big Brother on Day 4 after she brought Jon into the confession room and then the main House area. Contrary to what was presented when she came in, Mariel was in the House with a special mission and she did so with the consents of herself and her manager Boy Abunda. That mission was to be Big Brother's extra eyes and ears and to report which of the celebrity housemates were being true to themselves, as well as learning things about them. She was supposed to leave on Day 42, but because of recent events, Big Brother decided to further extend her stay until "the appointed time." That appointed time was Day 49. A week later, having missed the housemates, she accepted Big Brother's invitation to stay until the finale. Of course, she would have a series of tasks upon her return, her first one happened to be taking over Big Brother's place on Day 57 as the latter would be gone on an "official business." She left the House for the second time on the Day 77.
Host Toni Gonzaga was the second houseguest, after Mariel. She was called by Big Brother on Day 15 to go to the confession room and later he said that she was the newest houseguest because she was the only host of Pinoy Big Brother that he hadn't bond with, unlike Bianca Gonzalez, a housemate during the first Celebrity Edition, and Mariel, who was currently playing out her houseguest role. She was also told to perform certain tasks in order for her to leave, among them hosting a slumber party for the housemates and accompanying Riza to her rite of closure on the murder of Riza's nephew. She left the House on Day 19, having performed the said tasks. During Toni's time in the House, Bianca took over hosting duties for the primetime edition of the show.
TV show host Kris Aquino was the third houseguest. She entered the House on Day 23 to help the housemates cook spaghetti carbonara and brought them gifts and letters from their loved ones. Her stay lasted until the afternoon, after saying "No Deal" to Big Brother. The meaning of that response as well as those of Big Brother's prior question "Deal or No Deal" and an already-prepared luggage bag in the confession room is open to interpretation.
Actress Angel Locsin was the fourth houseguest. She entered the House on Day 43 disguised as a sniper. She also had a task of becoming an "Angel of Love" to Ruben and help him on his marriage proposal to his wife to be aired on national television. She left the next night.
Ethel returned to House on Day 59 as a houseguest (see above). Like all houseguests, she was given tasks that, when accomplished, would benefit three children from the Payatas Dump Site in Quezon City and their families. One of her first tasks as houseguest was to become the House's chambermaid, with two assistants Jan and Vier (named after her ex-boyfriend Janvier Daily), in tow. The two aides would come to her aid when needed. Like Mariel, Ethel stayed until Day 77.
On Day 82, Big Brother turned host Bianca Gonzalez into the House's last houseguest for the second Celebrity Edition. He wanted her to accompany the "Big Four" on the final nights in the House. It should be noted that Bianca was also one of the previous Celebrity Edition's "Big Four." She left the next day.
Below is a chronology of events, not including nomination and eviction nights. This section also lists voluntary and temporary exits, entrances of houseguests, visitors, new housemates, HOH competitions, and other events that affected the housemates' lives inside the House. This case, October 14, 2007 is considered Day 1.

Aside from the Weekly Tasks, the Housemates were also engaged in a Season-Long Task. This task involved monitoring, nursing, and taking care of a pregnant sow who is about give birth to piglets. It also involved taking care of the piglets themselves after they were born.
The housemate first mentioned in each nomination gets two points, while the second gets one point. In the case of the two pairs known as "2-in-1 Housemates," the Housemate actually nominated is named first, with the color of the text denoting the pair: blue text for the Geisler brothers and pink text for Jen and Marylaine.
As stated earlier, the HoH gives an automatic nomination to any other housemate. The HoH is given an immunity from nominations.
Houseguests are also allowed to nominate fellow housemates, just to give them a feel of being in the House. However, nominations made by and nomination points bestowed upon a houseguest are not counted towards the vote count.

^Note 1 : Baron and Jen, who were the only ones who had yet to know about the "2-in-1 Housemates" twist, were unknowingly the ones who nominated for their respective partners, Donald and Marylaine respectively. Of course, Donald and Marylaine, who along with most of the other housemates knew of the twist by the end of the week, did not nominate anyone.
^Note 2 : Donald made the nominations in the behalf of himself and his brother. Meanwhile, Ethel, being the HOH, named Megan for automatic nomination.
^Note 3 : Although nominations were already announced on Day 22, Big Brother informed Gaby about a seminar in the state of Arizona in the United States that she told Big Brother she would attend. Since the said seminar would last three days, more than the 24 hours allowed by Big Brother, she was asked to decide whether to attend the seminar or not. The next day, Gaby ultimately decided to make a voluntary exit, nulling the nomination result. She would make her exit on Day 28. As a side note for the nomination round, Baron made the nominations for himself and his brother.
^Note 4 : Because of time constraints, only reasons for Ethel and Megan's nomination and Donald's reason for imposing the automatic nomination to Ruben were seen by primetime viewers. The coronation night for Miss Earth 2007 was aired by ABS-CBN that night. The full tally was never published.
^Note 5 : A nomination round occurred on Day 36 wherein the Geisler brothers, Riza, and Jon were "nominated." Unknown to the housemates, however, it was a just mock nomination because of Mariel's impending departure on Day 42. Baron & Donald's eviction from the House was just a Mock Eviction. They literally left the main House area but went into the secret room soon afterwards.
^Note 6 : On Day 38, Big Brother decided to split Baron & Donald's 2-in-1 connection. On Day 39, Baron opted to let Donnie enter the house once again. On Day 40, the public decided to let Baron enter the house again, this time as a separate housemate from his brother. But on the wee hours of Day 40, after each having a rift with Big Brother, Mcoy and Ethel decided to leave the House altogether.
^Note 7 : Will was still given the power of automatic nomination, although no one knew about this. Because Will gave Victor two points, Victor was automatically nominated even though he would be nominated anyway.
^Note 8 : Gladys could neither nominate nor be nominated because she had just entered the House. The same could be said for Gaby, who had just returned to the House.
^Note 9 : Gladys left the House on Day 58 due to depression and boredom. The next day, Ethel re-entered the House, this time as a Houseguest. On the nomination night itself, nominations were done face to face. Three days after the nomination night, however, Yayo opted to quit because of her mother's death, nulling all voting and saving Baron, Gaby, and Riza from eviction.
^Note 10 : It was mentioned in the program that the seventh nomination night would be the last one. It can be deduced that starting on Day 71, open voting would occur to determine the "Big Four." On Day 75, Baron was given the forced eviction because of the grave violations he caused due of his second intoxication. Because of this development, Day 77 was just a normal night rather than the penultimate eviction night. Four days later, Jon was automatically shut out of the "Big Four" because of grave violations involving nominations.

A new twist introduced in this edition is the Head of Household (HoH). The housemate who holds this title has privileges and roles that are distinctly different from HouseGuests who hold the same title in the US version. The privileges and roles bestowed on the HoH are:
Every week, an HoH competition is held to determine the housemate who would hold the title. In case one-half of a 2-in-1 Housemate wins the title, the other half earns the title as well. But only one of the two partners can compete and they can decide who should compete. Nominees for eviction are usually exempted to compete.
In the third competition onwards, however, the nominees for eviction were allowed to compete, but in the case the winner gets evicted at the end of the week, the runner-up of the game takes over as HOH.
The finale in this edition, held on January 5, 2008 at the Araneta Coliseum was dubbed "The Big Night at the Big Dome." It had a Hollywood awards night theme with a cabaret-style opening number with Mcoy, Toni Gonzaga, Nikki Gil, and Vina Morales leading. All housemates were present, except for Gladys, who was in the United States.
Like the finale for the second regular season, the only other highlights of the show were the chronology of season and a spoof number, with Ethel and four impersonators as the "Big Four." There was also a special number by Yeng Constantino, Ryan Cayabyab, the Ryan Cayabyab Singers, and the Teen housemates of the first Teen Edition.
After an estimated total of 1.6 million text votes gathered since December 23, the start of the open voting, Ruben Gonzaga was declared the winner with 506,402 votes or 32.17%. Riza Santos was second with 430,135 votes or 27.33% of the vote. Gaby Dela Merced ended up third with 406,892 votes or 25.85% while Will Devaughn came in last at 230,509 votes or 14.65%.
Ruben was the first male housemate who become the Big Winner in the entire history of the Pinoy Big Brother franchise.[12]
