Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 1 is the first celebrity season of the Philippine ABS-CBNreality television series Pinoy Big Brother and the second season overall. It was originally broadcast without a season number, but was later officially given the title of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 1 to distinguish it from Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 2.^[1]

Pinoy Big Brother 9, officially called by its edition name Pinoy Big Brother: Connect, is the 9th season and 15th edition overall of Pinoy Big Brother. Due to the ABS-CBN franchise renewal controversy that led ABS-CBN to cease its free-to-air broadcast operations as ordered by the NTC, this will be the first season to air via cable on ABS-CBN's Kapamilya Channel and via free-TV on A2Z, along.

The first celebrity edition officially began on February 5, 2006 and ran for 56 days, ending on April 1, 2006, and were hosted by Toni Gonzaga and Mariel Rodriguez. The series was originally scheduled to start a day before but due to the WowoweeULTRA stampede that happened earlier that day, the management rescheduled it the next day. Due to the happening, Willie Revillame dropped his hosting stint from the show.

The prizes at stake cost three million Philippine pesos, which includes a million pesos for the winning housemate, another million for the winner's chosen charity, and another million for the charity of Big Brother's choice. Aside from the cash prizes, a condominium unit in Valenzuela City is also at stake.

The Big Brother house that is used on this edition is the same as the house used on the first season, although there were some changes in the house's interior.

The show began with a welcome party along Manila Bay. They were transported by yacht before the chosen housemates was formally introduced and were taken to the Big Brother House. A prayer that is led by Jesuit priest Fr. Tito Caluag, S.J., a minute of silence and a performance of 'You Raise Me Up' were done before the show started to commemorate those who have been affected by the Wowowee stampede. Furthermore, Myx VJ Luis Manzano played pinch hitter for Willie Revillame, who was at the time still devastated by the said stampede.

Talk show host Boy Abunda hosted the Big Debate, a debate show which celebrity supporters of the four housemates debate on who should be the winner of the series. The debate was held two nights before the Big Night.

The edition uses a different theme song, Sikat Ang Pinoy (Filipinos Are Famous), by Sam Milby and Toni Gonzaga, although the original theme song Pinoy Ako is occasionally used.

The program is produced and can be seen through ABS-CBN, Studio 23, the show's 24/7 cable channel, and the internet (ABS-CBN Now).

House interior theme[edit]

The concept for this series is going back to basics. On the first day the Big Brother House initially had no furniture or appliances, with the exception of the plasma TV and the refrigerator. Part of this series' concept was forcing the housemates to use a stick for brushing their teeth, clay jars and an outdoor kitchen for cooking, bare hands for eating, and a water pump for potable water. All pieces of furniture provided to them were even made of bamboo.

After two weeks, Big Brother lifted the 'Back to Basics' concept after seeing the housemates adapting to the said lifestyle, despite difficulties. The Forbidden Room, a pink-walled room with beds and mattresses reserved only for eviction nominees, became the ladies' bedroom, while the bamboo beds in the eventual men's bedroom were suddenly covered with mattresses. Earlier, they were provided with a microwave oven, an electric stove, utensils, and some toothbrushes and were allowed to use the swimming pool at any time, as well as wearing footwear indoors. Later, sofas replaced the bamboo benches in the living room.

Celebrity housemates[edit]
