Beyond the emotional evictions and the challenges brought by the weekly tasks, "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" also stood out for the unforgettable moments that unfolded inside the house.
During their almost four-month stay inside Bahay ni Kuya, the housemates shared laughter, tension, vulnerability, and countless viral moments that sparked online buzz from their fans.
From heartfelt revelations to hilarious candid moments, here are some of the most memorable and iconic moments that defined the season.
Klarisse's brave revelation
In one of the most talked-about moments of the season, Klarisse De Guzman bravely opened up about her sexuality during a heart-to-heart conversation with the housemates.
Klarisse revealed that she is a bisexual and that she has a girlfriend of four years, which was met with love and support from her fellow housemates and fans online.
"Napakasarap po sa pakiramdam na ito po pala 'yung pakiramdam ng pagiging malaya kumbaga free, wala na po akong ibang iniisip po ngayon kundi finally nasabi ko na, naging bukas na po ako sa ibang tao," she said.

They are the characters that Esnyr gave life to during his viral social media skits that revolve around relatable moments in school.
"Sobrang laki po ng naitulong niya sa buhay ko financial, career. Grabe, binago niya 'yung buhay ko, binago niya po 'yung buhay ng pamilya ko," Esnyr said.
Dee-stiny's child
Formed spontaneously early in the season, the impromptu girl group, fondly named "Dee-stiny's Child," had Michelle Dee, Klarisse, and Esnyr performing and goofing around together in their matching blonde hairdos.
After Michelle's brief stint as a house guest, the group "disbanded," hoping to reconvene as a group once they are complete outside.
Ralph and Emilio's 'rapsaing' battle
Dubbed as the season's saing kings, Ralph De Leon and Emilio Daez earned their titles after consistently taking on the responsibility of cooking rice for the housemates.
Their shared love for the chore even sparked a lighthearted rivalry, one that was revealed during the boys' bonding moment over drinks, where Ralph openly admitted that he felt a bit lost when Emilio entered the house and also started preparing rice, a task he had considered his own.
To settle the friendly competition once and for all, Kuya tasked the two with a "rapsaing" battle, part rap showdown, part rice-cooking demo. Will Ashley did the rapping for Ralph, while Josh did the same for Emilio.
Will's drunken heart-to-heart with Bianca

After the Boys' Night Out, Will initiated a serious conversation with Bianca De Vera and expressed his profound appreciation for her understanding and patience over the years.
Spurred on by liquid courage, he revealed his desire to get to know her as a person, not just a co-actor, believing she is someone who truly understands him and emphasizing that it took him two years to open up due to his typical reluctance to confront.
"I want to take this opportunity to tell you what I feel because I can't tell you this tomorrow kasi wala akong lakas ng loob talaga. Kilala mo naman ako as a person. I don't really confront. I just wanted you to know na I appreciate you. I hope na alam mo 'yun."
"I know you guys, Dustin and you, meron kayong own understanding, meron kayong let's say own world sa pagkakaintidi ko lang," he said. "Pero I wanna be there for you. I wanna comfort you bilang the one na makakaintindi sa 'yo the most."
Klarisse's game night drunk antics
Klarisse had another viral moment during the Game Night when her drunk self completely took over and jumped into the pool.
She even opened up about wanting to go home as Shuvee Etrata, Will, Esnyr, and Josh Ford helped calm her down.
'Gusto ko nang makita 'yung mama ko. OK na kayo dito. Hindi naman ako nagluluto lagi eh, pero ngayon kailangan ko magluto para sa inyo kasi wala kayong kakainin,' Klarisse said.
AZ's drunken maoy
Aside from Klarisse, alcohol also took over AZ Martinez on the same night and she had to be taken to the girls' room.
She kept on mentioning fellow housemate Ralph De Leon, saying she has something to tell him, but she cannot reveal it.
AZ kept on crying, "Is Ralph gonna know this? Ralph's going to know this. Please, I beg you. Ralph shouldn't know this," while Ralph stood clueless beside her.
Hilarious memes of AZ's iconic moment were soon shared on the internet, which also showed Mika Salamanca taking care of her.

After winning a golden seat for the Big Carnival Concert, Brent Manalo decided to give it up and sacrifice his spot for Mika Salamanca , which left viewers emotional.
Because of Brent's selfless move, Mika got the opportunity to talk to her mom via video call.
Mika and her mom were both thankful to Brent for giving her the opportunity to watch the concert.
Sopas-sparked drama
Tension brewed between the male housemates after Vince Maristela called out Josh Ford for a "sopas" joke, which eventually escalated into an emotional exchange inside the boys' room.
"Iba lang din talaga 'yung dating sa 'kin, kung may gusto kang patunayan, Josh, mag-jo-joke ka sa 'kin kung saan ilalagay 'yung sopas, sa jug ko," Vince said.
"Kung may problema ka sa akin din lang sabihin mo sa akin, huwag sa harap ng iba. If you're gonna talk to everybody say it as a whole. Alam ko naman 'yung sa sopas ako 'yun, sana sinabi mo na sopas, and now everybody knows it was me," Josh said.
Fortunately, the two quickly cleared the air and resolved the misunderstanding, showing maturity and mutual respect despite the heat of the moment.
AzRalph's kilig-filled reunion
After being evicted in the season, Ralph made a dramatic comeback as one of the wildcard returnees.
But there was a twist: the male housemates had to keep Ralph and fellow returnee Charlie Fleming hidden from the female housemates for an entire week as part of a secret taguan task. Once the task was successfully completed, Kuya revealed the surprise, and no one was more shocked and emotional than AZ.
AZ, who had grown close to Ralph during their time in the house, was visibly stunned and overjoyed to see him again. Their heartfelt hug and reunion melted viewers' hearts and became one of the most feel-good moments of the season.
'Shuvee, stop!'
During a secret task, the nominated housemates (Bianca, Shuvee, Josh, Ralph, Xyriel Manabat, and Dustin Yu) had to elicit emotions from certain housemates and take a picture of them using a small camera.
They had to bring out Esnyr's disgust, Mika's tears, and River Joseph's anger. The last one was the most challenging, as River is one of the gentlest and patient housemates.
To bring out River's anger, Shuvee acted mean towards Xyriel while they were doing decoy task of working out. Xyriel pretended to be having a hard time, and she was one of the closest housemates to River.
They succeeded after River shouted "Shuvee, stop!" River and Shuvee later patched things up after it was revealed that everything was just an act for the secret task.
'The Big Carnival' concert

Among the memorable tasks of the season was "The Big Carnival Concert" where the housemates united to deliver festive and high-energy performances for a special in-house audience.
They showcased their juggling, spin disc, and flower stick skills, which they worked hard at learning from Dexter Duran, a circus coach and performer. They also performed song and dance numbers.
'OA!'
The most iconic moment of the season came from Klarisse, when she shouted "OA!" after a heated discussion with Dustin during the When You Say Nothing At All task.
Klarisse, one of the task leaders along with Will, asked Bianca and Dustin to stay away from each other for the meantime to avoid talking accidentally, as they were not allowed to say anything for the task. Bianca already made several errors that time.
Dustin defended himself and Bianca and told Klarisse to be more careful with her words as he felt they were singled out.
"Ang pinapagalitan ko actually talaga si Bianca kaya hindi kita magets. Si Bianca nga nakausap ko, 'di ko gets ba't ikaw pa 'yung mas galit. OA!" Klarisse shouted before walking off.
"Ka-OA, ang liit-liit na bagay, naging leader din naman kayo, sorry kung natapakan 'yung pagka-love team n'yo," she added.
Despite the emotional exchange, the two housemates later took the time to apologize to each other, putting their differences aside and showing growth through honest conversation and accountability.
In true internet fashion, netizens turned the "OA" line into a running joke, remixing it into edits and reaction clips. —MGP, GMA Integrated News
