"Dumaan pa rin tayo sa proceso para sa mga gustong mag-audition at meron din tayo na inimbitahan para na mag-audition," PBB's business unit head Laurenti Dyogi explained in an interview with PBB Buzz.

Ed Sharples, South East Asia Managing Director of Endemol, even flew to Manila to be part of the panel that picked the final celebrity housemates.

"Sisiguraduhin nmin na mahihirapan sila at susubukin pa rin namin ang pagkatao nila," Dyogi said. Unlike the first Pinoy Big Brother, which lasted for 100 days, the celebrity edition will only run for a total of 57 days, from February 4 until April 1. Since the housemates will only be inside the house for a shorter period, nomination and evictions nights will be more frequent. The celebrity who will emerge as the Big Winner will take home a cash prize amounting to P1,000,000. Since they will be joining the contest for a cause, another P1,000,000 will be donated to their chosen charitable institution.
