Season chronology | |
This was the fifth consecutive time that both civilian adults and teenagers participated in one season, and the first time since the All In season to house them together as just one batch. Among all regular and special seasons, this season was the season with the shortest number of days (99) of which a group of housemates representing an entire season have stayed in the House.[2]
This was the first season where the show was not aired on ABS-CBN after the network was ordered by the National Telecommunications Commission to cease and desist its free-to-air television and radio broadcast operations on May 5, 2020, following the lapse of its congressional franchise.[3] The network also failed to secure a renewal of its congressional franchise after its renewal bid was rejected by the House of Representatives on July 10, 2020.[4]
The show aired on TV5 from March 8 until the show's finale on March 14, 2021 as part of the partnership arrangement (later as blocktime/content agreement) between ABS-CBN and TV5.[5][6]
Liofer Pinatacan was declared the Big Winner of the season against Andrea Abaya.[7][8] Kobie Brown and Jie-Ann Armero were the finalists.
