This was the last and separate civilian season to air after the three editions were merged into one season, starting from All In.[1] This season is currently the longest civilian season to date and broke the previous civilian season's record for the longest duration by three more weeks and also ranked as one of the show's longest seasons worldwide as of that time, only surpassed by a number of seasons held in Germany, until this season's duration was later beaten by Lucky 7 on 2016 and later on Otso which currently holds the record, with 268 days.
It is the only regular season with a male winner: Slater Young.[2][3][4][5]Pamu Pamorada was the runner-up, while Joseph Biggel, and Paco Evangelista were the finalists.
Overview
Auditions
Auditions for the season started in Metro Manila on March 4, 2011, at the SM Mall of Asia where around 10,000 people attended. Show director Lauren Dyogi said the turnout at the Mall of Asia audition was the largest in the show's history. Other auditions were held at several key cities in the Philippines from March to July 2011, plus overseas auditions in Tokyo and Los Angeles.[6][7] The total number of aspirants for the season, as claimed by the show, was 30,789. A total of 37 housemates entered for this season; fourteen on opening night, fifteen on Day 8, six on Day 15, and two on Days 23 and 25.[8]
Primers & shows
In the run-up to the premiere, a special weekday afternoon primer entitled Pinoy Big Brother: The Audition Stories started airing on October 24, 2011. It featured several participants whose audition stories caught the interest of the producers.[9][10][11] The afternoon primer lasted until November 4, 2011. It eventually gave way to the new show, Pinoy Big Brother: UnliDay, the day main program. The said program shows the latest happenings of the Day Housemates from the Industrial House.
For the season, the exterior of the House was slightly tweaked to have slotted walls and minor modifications, but still keeping the yellow and blue color scheme. There are five areas for this season: four Houses and a special area. Two of the houses, the Industrial and Luxury Houses, are connected via a secret hallway first revealed on Day 22 and fully opened on Day 65.
Slums: First occupied on opening night, the Slums was made to look like a typical squatters' area in many urban areas in the Philippines. This was done to let the housemates experience the same living conditions as 15 million Filipinos who live in such areas, based from a typical answer during auditions of experiencing typical Filipino life.[12] This House was demolished on Day 22.
Industrial House: The interior of the second House follows the regular House layout and its accompanying amenities. It is further given an "industrial" feel with steel, wooden, and brick walls. Unlike previous seasons, however, this House has no yard area. The house was opened on Day 8 and was closed down on Day 77.
Luxury House: Also called the Mansion, the third House is exquisitely furnished and brightly lit. Like the Industrial House, this House also has no yard area, although sunlight somehow passes through a curtain. This house was opened on Day 22.
Resort: Located adjacent to the Luxury House, this area is sophisticated with the inclusion of the pool and a Jacuzzi in the beach-themed Garden area. It is used as a venue for special occasions and tasks. This area was opened on Day 15 and the door to the resort (hidden under a curtain in the Luxury House) was opened on Day 65.
Hacienda: Located at the activity area, the Hacienda is modelled after a typical plantation in the Philippines by featuring several plants. It contains a large hut where the housemates would live in. This House was opened on Day 128.
Unlimited twists
Reserved housemates — short-listed auditionees are given another chance to become official housemates.
Unli-Day/Unli-Night —The show features two houses, each containing a different set of housemates. To accommodate both, a second main program, Unli-Day, was aired in the afternoons to focus on the events in the Industrial House. The setup only applies to weekdays; on weekends, nomination and eviction nights, and special shows, the primetime program would cover both Houses. With the closure of the Industrial House on Week 11, Unli-Day was directed towards covering events in the active House(s) while the host has an interview session with former housemates.
House Swaps — Housemates will be made to swap houses and group members as instructed by Big Brother.
SE Voting System — The public votes to save or evict a housemate. The housemate with the lowest net votes, Save and Evict votes combined, is evicted. This voting system was stopped after the fourth eviction round.
Head of Household — Housemates compete against each other to be granted immunity in the coming nomination.
House Competitions — For ten weeks, the two Houses compete in weekly major competitions with PHP150,000 at stake in each. At the end of those ten weeks, the cash accumulated by each team would be shared among the final five housemates in each House. The teams would also compete in "mini-battles" wherein the winning team would be given minor rewards.
Intensity 7 — On Day 71, the remaining 20 housemates, 11 from Team High-Voltage and nine from Team Wayuk, were put-up for 24-hour public voting. The top five housemates from each team will be safe from elimination on Day 78, where six housemates will be evicted from the house. A sequel twist, called the Aftershock, would test the remaining housemates further.
Various Nominations – Various nomination processes were implemented as per Big Brother. See Nomination history for details.
Overnight Voting - In some eviction nights, people will only be given 24 hours to vote for their favorite housemate.
House Players - An evicted housemate will remain in the house to test the remaining official housemates through tasks set by Big Brother and the audience.
Wildcard Housemate - An evicted housemate will have a chance to come back on the roster of housemates.
Power of One - Starting the 13th eviction, the public may only vote once per day per mobile phone number.
Big Shot for the Big Slot - The final five housemates are given the chance to have a fifth slot in the finale by completing a shooting task.
Housemates
A total of fourteen housemates entered the House on Day 1, thirteen official housemates plus a sub-official housemate acting as a "mole" in a task to become the fourteenth official housemate. That sub-official housemate was chosen by lottery from a pool of 30 reserved housemates. These are the auditionees who were shortlisted for the show, but did not make the official cut.
All thirteen official housemates plus the sub-official "mole" housemate, chosen via random sampling, entered the House on Day 1 (October 29, 2011).[13] A second batch of housemates entered the House on Day 8, although those assigned to the Industrial House were not physically inside until the next day. Eight reserved housemates entered on Days 15, 23 and 25. The ages indicated were the housemates' ages upon their entrance to the House.[14][15]
A grand total of 37 housemates—the third most number of housemates in the Philippine franchise behind Otso season's 58 housemates and Kumunity 10's 46 housemates.
On Day 30, Big Brother announced the start of House Competitions, where the two Houses will compete for ten weeks for P150,000 at stake every week. The accumulated pot money for each House will be divided among the remaining housemates of each House after ten weeks. Group immunity from nomination was also put at stake with the seventh and eighth challenges.
The Luxury House residents are known as Team High Voltage and the Industrial House denizens are codenamed Team Wayuk.

Nomination history
Overview
The housemate first mentioned in each nomination gets two points, while the second gets one point. The percentage of votes shown is the percentage of votes to save unless otherwise stated. Each house would field at least the highest two point gatherers to the list of nominees.
During Week 1, all 13 official housemates and one unofficial housemate lived in the slums. On Day 8, Carlo, the unofficial housemate, became an official housemate, and a second batch of 15 official housemates entered the House. On Day 15, six reserved housemates entered the house. Among the six reserved, Reg and Deniesse are two to become official housemates. On Days 23 and 25, two reserved housemates entered. Seth became an official housemate on Day 26, and Ryan on Day 30.
On Day 8, Jaz, Kevin, Kim, Paco, Pamu and Seichang transferred to the Industrial House to be part of the Unli-day group. On Day 21, Diane, Joya and Wendy transferred to the Luxury House, while on Day 22, Jaz and Seichang transferred to the Luxury House and became part of the Unli-night group. The same day, the remaining Unli-night housemates transferred to the Luxury House when the Slums was demolished. On Day 31, Luz and Seichang transferred to the Industrial House to be part of the Unli-Day group. On Day 66, the two groups switched houses, with the Unli-day group residing in the Luxury House and the Unli-night group residing in the Industrial house.
On Day 71, all housemates were instructed to live in the Industrial House, with the top 14 housemates going to the Luxury House at specified periods of time in the following week. On Days 77 and 79, Deniesse and Slater became part of Team Wayuk. On Day 78, the Industrial House was closed. On Day 106, the top 10 housemates merged into one group.
Challenges granting immunity were held before nominations. For the first nomination, secret challenges were held in both houses which granted the winner(s) immunity from being nominated. From the second nomination until the fifth nomination, and from the tenth nomination onwards, Head/s of Household (HOH) competitions were held in both houses, where the winner/s will be granted immunity in the coming nomination. For the seventh and eighth nominations, House Competitions also have group immunity in the coming nomination put at stake.
For this season, former housemates chosen by Big Brother were asked to come back as House Players, as indicated in the nominations table. The Day numbers indicate the day the house players entered the house. Paco, who was evicted on Day 106, did not leave the house and was tasked to be a house player. On Day 141, he was reinstated as an official wildcard housemate. Kigoy and Luz re-entered on Day 121 as part of the M6 twist, with Kigoy being Forcibly re-evicted on Day 124 and Luz re-evicted on Day 127. Seichang, who was evicted on Day 127, did not leave the house until Day 134.
Starting the 13th eviction, the "Power of One" rule was implemented wherein the public may only vote once per day per Sim card. Overnight voting was also done during the 6th, 8th, 14th and 15th nomination rounds, as well as the Big Night. Hour-long voting was done during the final nomination round.

Notes
^Note 1 : Carlo is the first of the reserved housemates to be given the chance to enter the house. As he was not able to complete the four tasks assigned to him, Big Brother asked the official housemates to decide for Carlo's chance to stay, giving him a status to become an official housemate. He received 12 out of 13 votes to stay and was therefore declared an official housemate. Since the Slums housemates failed their weekly task, six of them will be "evicted" (in reality, moving to the Industrial House). This was determined by Carlo randomly picking six rattan boxes containing the clothes of the 13 other housemates. The clothes Carlo picked belonged to Jaz, Kevin, Kim, Paco, Pamu and Seichang. ^Note 2 : The Power Strangers were put on the voting gauntlet with the housemates voting using ears of corn hung on their necks. Kulas, the Blue Stranger, received most number of ears, seven out of 14, and therefore, was evicted from the house. Subsequently, RJ and Reg are tasked to conceal their faces until they become an official housemate, otherwise, they get forced eviction. However, Lordwin and Unad are tasked to unmask and take a picture of them. Lordwin successfully took a picture of RJ, which cost RJ's chance of becoming an official housemate. ^Note 3 : The Slums male housemates (excluding Slater) were asked if they want the 3Gs to stay, in exchange for three of their female housemates being "evicted" (in reality, moving to the Luxury House). Six of the seven eligible Slums male housemates chose the 3Gs to stay in exchange for Diane, Joya and Wendy. Big Brother then told 3Gs that only one of them would be an official housemate because not all of the men in the slums agree to make them an official housemate. With the remaining Slums female housemates deciding on their fate, Deniesse was declared an official housemate. She received most of the votes, two out of four, to stay. ^Note 4 : Slater declined to continue his task to make Joya believe he was in love with her, making Big Brother fulfill his promise of giving him an automatic nomination if he declines or fails. Kim and Mark's secret relationship is revealed through a mock trial session, thus being given automatic nomination. Paco and Erica were given immunity for successfully doing their part as jurors but Erica later gave up her immunity. Being new housemates, Deniesse and Reg were exempted from nominations. Jaz and Seichang had undergone nominations in the Industrial House before transferring to the Luxury House. Their votes were counted in their former house and they were exempted from nominations in their new house. ^Note 5 : As new housemates, Seth and Ryan are exempted from the nominations. Luz and Seichang moved to the Industrial House on Day 30. Nominations took place on Day 31, hence they are exempt from nominations. Seichang was also one of the HOH in the Luxury House before his transfer. UnliDay voting was stopped due to Reg's pending exit by forced eviction due to the numerous and grave House rule violations he committed. ^Note 6 : Mark was automatically nominated after losing to Luz in a challenge held due to their violations to the house rules. Voting for the nominees were stopped due to Lyn's voluntary exit and Mark's forced eviction because of numerous rule violations. ^Note 7 : Big Brother asked the housemates in the Industrial house if they wanted to give anyone in the house an automatic nomination. Ryan chose to automatically nominate Kevin. Ryan was required to undergo the regular nomination process as well, thereby nominating three people for this round. Big Brother instructed the teams to switch houses. ^Note 8 : On Day 71, Big Brother announced that all housemates will undergo overnight public voting and that only 14 housemates will remain at the end of the week. The top five vote earners from each group will remain and the remaining four will be determined by other means. Even though the 8th, 12th and 13th top vote earners of the overall vote were not revealed, it could be deduced from the per-house results that Jessica, Steph and Naprey were the 8th, 12th and 13th top vote earners, respectively. It was announced that the Intensity 7 Saturday eviction is the sixth eviction night of the season. Jerico and Steph were officially evicted on Day 74, Ryan on Day 75, Roy on Day 76 and Naprey and Unad on Day 77. The housemates, however, left the house on Day 78. ^Note 9 Team Wayuk won nomination immunity for winning their House Competition, resulting in all nominees coming from team High- Voltage only. ^Note 10 As part of Big Brother's punishment to the housemates for failing the eighth House Competition, all of the remaining housemates will nominate one of their teammates face to face as the least deserving housemate. Team High Voltage picked Wendy, while Team Wayuk picked Deniesse. Wendy and Deniesse will do a task assigned by Big Brother. Also, Kevin, Pamu and Tin went on the Big Road Trip but three failed to accomplish their task resulting in an eviction between Deniesse and Wendy decided by overnight voting. ^Note 11 Tin was automatically nominated after failing a challenge based on the Big Road Trip. Paco reaped the automatic nomination for talking about the nomination process. Both nominations were only made known to the nominees. Despite being evicted as a housemate, Paco stayed in the house and became a House Player. ^Note 12 Because of not fully succeeding in the Great Marinduque Adventure, Slater agreed to be automatically nominated. As Head of Household, Divine was tasked to replace a nominee and she chose to replace Deniesse with Biggel. As House Player, Paco was tasked to add a housemate to the list of nominees and he chose Eting. ^Note 13 Big Brother implemented a new nomination scheme wherein a housemate will nominate three other housemates. The housemate first mentioned gets three points, second mentioned gets two points, while the third gets one point. All points towards Paco do not count as he is a house player. Voting for the nominees was stopped due to Deniesse's forced eviction as a result of grave House violations she committed. Because of this, Carlo, who got the fewest votes, was not evicted. Meanwhile, the public were asked to vote on Paco's fate as a House Player. The results denoted that Paco should stay. ^Note 14 The housemates underwent a mock nomination before the normal nomination process wherein only Kevin, Seichang and Slater changed their votes. Because of this, original nominee Slater was saved, while Divine was added to the list of nominees. Despite being evicted as a housemate, Seichang stayed in the house. ^Note 15 Big Brother asked the M5 to automatically nominate someone from the remaining housemates and they chose Tin. The housemates underwent a mock face to face nomination before the normal nomination process. Because of this, Carlo was added to the list of nominees. ^Note 16 Big Brother implemented the "Power of One" rule wherein if a housemate receives even one vote, he will automatically be put on the nomination list. Any votes cast by Paco (Divine and Slater) and for Paco do not count. On Day 139, Paco was given a chance to become a wildcard housemate with the public deciding his fate. The wildcard housemate public poll also used the "Power of One" rule. ^Note 17 Because the housemates failed the "Big Shot for the Big Slot" challenge, only four slots are open for the finale and one of the final five has to be evicted in a mid-week eviction. ^Note 18 For the last three open voting rounds, votes are reset after each eviction. Only votes cast after Divine's eviction are counted towards the Big Night total, unlike previous seasons wherein all votes cast during open voting (including between evictions) were counted.

Mock nominations
For the 12th and 13th Nominations, the housemates underwent mock nominations before the normal nomination process.
^M1 : Big Brother asked the housemates to nominate two housemates they feel that are not showing their true selves. Big Brother then told Paco to have a conference towards the same issue. After the conference, Big Brother asked the housemates to again nominate their housemates. Only Kevin, Seichang and Slater changed their votes. ^M2 : The remaining housemates (including Paco) underwent a face to face nomination where they will mention two names. Big Brother then told the housemates to have a conference regarding the nominees. After the conference, Big Brother asked the housemates to again nominate their housemates.

Big Night at the Grandstand
On March 31, 2012, 154 days after the season started, at the Quirino Grandstand, Slater Young was declared the Big Winner after amassing 40.02% of the votes which was taking home two million pesos cash and other special prizes. Leaving before him were Second Big Placer Pamu with 21.49% of the votes which receives one million pesos cash, Third Big Placer Biggel with 21.39% of the votes which receives half a million pesos cash and Fourth Big Placer Paco with 17.10% of the votes which receives 300,000 pesos cash. Slater thus earned the distinction of being the first male winner of a regular season four years after Ruben Gonzaga was declared as the first male winner of the entire franchise. The Big Night voting was only done overnight, with the Power of One rule in effect. This is also the first and only season wherein only vote percentages are shown and not the actual number of votes. The theme of the Big Night is Filipino style.
This table shows the summary of votes as obtained by each of the Big 4 in the Big Night.
