Pinoy Big Brother: Season 2 was the second official season of Pinoy Big Brother and aired on ABS-CBN's primetime block. It was the most talk-about season of Pinoy Big Brother. As with the show's previous full & special seasons, it also aired a companion program on Studio 23. It began with a live party on February 25, 2007. It ran for 126 days until June 30, 2007, the longest stay of housemates inside the house. The season was won by Beatriz Saw, who garnered over 1.5 million votes, or about 30.29% of total votes cast during the open voting, which started on June 17, 2007. This is also the record-breaking highest total of actual votes in the history of Pinoy Big Brother and other all text-based votes reality programs in the Philippines as of now.

Toni Gonzaga and Mariel Rodriguez reprised their roles as Primetime/Live show host and UpLate host respectively, while Celebrity Edition housemate Bianca Gonzalez again hosted the Update reports, a role she did in the Teen Edition. First season housemate Jason Gainza joined the hosts as the Man-of-the-Street reporter.

Meanwhile, Asia Agcaoili again took hosting chores for the show's companion program on Studio 23, along with the puppet Pining. They shared hosting chores with new host Sitti Navarro.

Also for the show's new season, the theme song Pinoy Ako had been rehashed, this time performed by the band Cebalo (composed of Yvan Lambatan, Panky Trinidad, Eman Abatayo, and Davey Langit of Pinoy Dream Academy). The show also used the songs Time In by Yeng Constantino (the winner of Pinoy Dream Academy) and Arigatou Tomodachi by Jun Hirano, Jay-R Siaboc and Eman Abatayo (also of Pinoy Dream Academy) as part of the background music.

Aside from Gonzalez's Updates aired throughout the day, the morning show Magandang Umaga, Pilipinas and its successor Umagang Kayganda also reported updates from inside the House.

The concept of the house is a pop-art scheme, with a predominantly lime green living area with pastel colors. It has been equipped with 42 cameras and 42 overhead microphones. The men's bedroom have the beds in a linear pattern, while the women's beds in their bedroom are in a circular pattern. Rocking chairs and other furniture have also been added, as well as gym equipment, a large bathroom with showers and a jacuzzi, separate restrooms for the men and women, a separate prayer room, and a bridge over the swimming pool. The confession (aka diary) room is now tangerine-colored and expanded. Furthermore, the front doors to the house are now located at the garden, leading to the eviction hall next door (the auditorium previously used in Pinoy Dream Academy).

There are two secret areas in the house. The first secret area is separated from the garden by a gate. It is initially filled with sand and had bamboo furniture and an area for urination. The secret housemates occupied this area in their first five days of stay in the house. Afterwards, the location became common knowledge for the housemates and it has been used as a Big Brother-sponsored activity area. The other secret area is adjacent to the confession room. It has been previously used by Gee-Ann, Wendy, and Mickey as a "quarantine area" when they caught Robert's "disease" on Week 5.

The interiors of the various rooms were designed by students from the Philippine School of Interior Design. The revamped larger layout of the House could be attributed to the fact that the House was previously used as the Academy during the filming of Pinoy Dream Academy. Major renovations had to be done for the second season.

On Day 1, only six housemates entered the house. The next six housemates entered the house on Days 7 to 12. The final four housemates entered the house on Day 14. The number of housemates thus reached 16, although only 14 were promised in the pre-season teasers. All are ordered here by entrance.

Ezekiel Joshua "Zeke" Dimaguila (born: November 2, 1985 in Australia) is a 21-year-old online gamer from Australia. Prior to his entry to the house, he is said to have played the World of Warcraft for up to 15 hours straight. He is known for his frank attitude towards his housemates especially with the girl housemates. He is also a "turntablism" aficionado and idolizes DJ Q-Bert, for being the greatest "scratcher" in the world. Ezekiel was first evicted on Day 35, but returned to the House on Day 78 and was re-evicted after a week because of low votes on Day 86.

Wendy Manalus Valdez (born: June 2, 1982 in Manila) is a 25-year-old commercial model from Navotas.

Wendy also made it to the Final 38 Star Dreamers of Pinoy Dream Academy, but failed to make it as a scholar. She was earlier launched as a part of the girl group Dream Girls along with other female star dreamers, In the house, she found Bruce Quebral as her best buddy. She is indeed the most controversial among all the housemates. Her behavior and actions inside the house has gained her supporters as well as detractors; she is even a subject of allegations of favoritism against the show due to her background before living in the House. Wendy was first evicted on Day 70, but returned to the House on Day 78. On Day 126, she was proclaimed the third placer of the second season.

He frequently uses the catchphrases "Bongga" (gay lingo for "extravagant") and "Perfect." Among all the housemates he is the funniest. His penchant for gay expressions, being comfortable wearing a bathing suit just for playing in the swimming pool, and being non-chalant about having "Sarah" as a nickname (after Sarah Balabagan, a former OFW who was spared the death penalty in the United Arab Emirates) have lead to some viewers thinking he is a closet gay. But he himself denies this and his family and Kian, whom he befriended during the latter's stay in the house, attest that his seemingly homosexual acts are just a way to show his sense of humor. He was evicted on Day 119.

The following housemates entered and stayed in two secret areas of the house. Only two of them would become official housemates and enter the main House area. They were also tasked to gather some of their basic necessities from the main House area without being caught. Being caught would mean automatic eviction. For four days, only Ezekiel and Dionne knew about their presence and could not divulge this to the others except Big Brother. Eventually, these housemates were revealed to the others on Day 18. For the sake of explanation and because they entered the house without the knowledge of Ezekiel and Dionne's fellow housemates, they are referred to in this article as the "secret housemates."

However, as only two of the four could become the 13th and 14th official housemates, their fate inside the house was determined by public voting.

Elmo Jeremiah "Bodie" Cruz (born: September 8, 1985 in Las Piñas City) is a 21-year-old software developer and a former SCTC Alumni from Las Piñas City. He is the son of actor Tirso Cruz III, and with his entry in the House, he wants to break away from the image of being a "showbiz son." Naturally, because of his showbiz connections, he was once a mainstay of the youth-talent show Ang TV before living a life of obscurity prior to his stay in the House. He was involved in a love triangle between Mickey and Gee-Ann. On Day 21, he was proclaimed an official housemate. He was evicted on Day 124.

Jeremy was evicted on Day 21.

Her mother works as a domestic helper while her father works as a messenger. She is said to be proud of her parents' blue-collar jobs and have not experienced any discrimination despite being an Asian in Italy. On Day 21, she was proclaimed an official housemate. She is the eldest among the housemates. In the House, she is known to be confrontational and pushy, to the point that she had a shouting match with Beatriz (see below). She was forced out of the House on Day 65 after committing forms of violence on herself and her fellow housemates.

Mikah Dizon (born: June 14, 1986 in Baguio City) is a 20-year-old buxom student from Baguio City. She describes herself at a party girl at night, which often leads to misconceptions and even some jail time. She had also straightened her relations with her mother. She is not related in any way to Maricris, despite both having the same surname. Mikah was evicted on Day 21.

After Maricris's exit on Day 65, it had been announced that a 30-something-year-old mother would take her place. In a twist that even the viewers did not see coming, two new housemates, both of whom fit the description, entered the house on Day 70. They lived in the house for a week and only one of them stayed longer. The choice of who should stay rested on the nine remaining housemates at the time. Regardless of who stayed, the new housemates, both mothers and one of them married, are a deviation from the other remaining housemates, all single and in their twenties.

Geraldine Javier, or "Giei," is a 32-year-old single mother and market vendor from Quezon City. She had previously worked in Japan as an entertainer and had failed relationships, which resulted in two children. She was evicted on Day 77 by a unanimous decision of 0 out of 9 votes voted by the housemates.

Yen Galagnara is a 35-year-old mother and Korean school ESL teacher from Quezon City. Having a shaved head, she regards herself as a modern kind of wife and mother. Also, she used to be a fashion designer, hence her hairstyle and style of clothing. She was evicted on Day 91.

The following special housemates are termed here as houseguests, because while the housemates stayed until possibly the end of the season, the following people stayed in the House for no more than a specific amount of time without undergoing the nomination and eviction process.

The first houseguest was Tina Semolic, a 22-year-old former beauty queen from Koper, Slovenia. A contestant in the Slovenian version, she was involved in the Big Brother Swap, trading places with Bruce. She was profiled as a fatherless woman who tried her best for mother and siblings. She stayed from Days 56 to 61. She later returned on Day 125 to celebrate with the final four housemates (Gee-Ann, Mickey, Beatriz, and Wendy). (More details on Big Brother Swap section)

The second houseguest was Hanna Eunice Rodriguez, a 21-year-old college student and single mother from Las Piñas City. She has been profiled as a woman with a riches-to-rags story after her father was swindled by a Singaporean man. Despite her current poverty, her family remains united and she remains strong through many hardships. She stayed from Days 85 to 91, and her stay was made possible by a promotion launched by Globe Telecom, giving its subscribers a chance to live inside the House for a week. Hanna was among the twenty subscribers screened for the show, who in turn were selected from those who joined the promotion.

The third houseguest was Uma Khouny, the 25-year-old former first season housemate, who visited the house to train the housemates in scaring people. He stayed from Days 109 to 111. He also had an objective of turning the housemates against each other, but he only managed to stir up the relationship between Bruce and Wendy.

Note T1: Though successful, although only 25% was added because the sand castle they made was not the same as the model. PHP1,199 was also deducted from the budget to pay for the vase Gee-Ann accidentally broke during the week. An additional PHP750 was added the next day after the housemates successfully brought down the rest of their luggage without getting any of those bags wet in the pool.
Note T2: The housemates were supposed to bet 60% of their budget, but Big Brother requested that they bet their entire budget because the rice processed in this task will be donated to charity.
Note T3: The entire task was stopped after three days and was deemed a success. In exchange, Big Brother would fulfill his promise of donating a sack of rice to a family of each housemate's choice.
Note T4: Eighty-seven coins were collected, so 87% was added to their weekly budget.
Note T5: This particular weekly task took two weeks. A total of P325,713.50 was amassed; the two activities alone raised P175,713.50, not including monetary donations from the show's sponsors and donations of shoes and school supplies.
Note T6: The boats were actually tested on Day 92 because of the rains that plagued the week.
Note T7: Out of 260 people who entered the House of Horrors, 219 (85%) of them felt fear as opposed to 41 who felt the ride was corny. The budget was therefore increased by 85%.

On Day 23 (March 19, 2007), a large red telephone was placed inside the House. It was announced the day before that the phone would ring in different instances, and each call would inform the housemate who would answer the call of a different reward or punishment. The housemate who would answer each call would receive any of the following news:

• 1st Call: Staying in the sun for a day and no baths for two days (received by Ezekiel)
• 2nd Call: Haircut, facial massage, and "full body foot massage" (received by Mickey)
• 3rd Call: The granting of any one wish, regardless of the result of any task (received by Bodie, who ordered pizza)
• 4th Call: A 60-second shopping spree in the Storage Room (received by Dionne)
• 5th Call: Being the "pet of the day" (received by Nel)
• 6th Call: The power to change the second set of nominees (received by Wendy, who retained the set of nominees as is)
• 7th Call: Automatic nomination (received by Beatriz)
• 8th Call: A secret date with another housemate (received by Bruce, who chose Wendy to be his date)
• 9th Call: Playing Sadako of the Japanese movie Ring and living in a well for a day (received by Kian)
• 10th Call: Walking around blindfolded for a day without any help from the others (received by Gee-Ann)
• 11th Call: A chance to conquer one's fear (received by Saicy whose fear is snakes)
• 12th Call: Shaving one's eyebrow (received by Robert, who had his right eyebrow shaved in exchange for an operation on a hare-lipped child)
• 13th Call: A kiss of Judas—i.e. the recipient of the call kisses a housemate, who in turn gains an automatic nomination (received by Mickey, who kissed Saicy; this is supposedly for Maricris, the only one not to receive a call, but since she was evicted forcibly, Big Brother allowed any of the remaining housemates still inside to pick up the phone, even though they already answered it)

The official website announced on Day 47 (April 12, 2007) that one Philippine housemate would trade places with a housemate from the Slovenian version.^[4][5] Days later, Tina^[6] was chosen to swap with Bruce.^[7]

Promotion ads for this event likened this to an alien abduction because the Philippine housemates were not aware that Bruce would trade places with Tina, a foreigner, until Tina entered the Philippine House.^[8] On the other hand, the Slovenian housemates already knew of the Swap and prepared for this event, which was expected to be a cultural exchange of sorts for both sides. The swap started Day 56 (April 21) and ended on Day 61 (April 26), when the swapped housemates returned to their respective Houses.

Tina Semolic, a 22-year-old former beauty queen, was chosen by the Philippine version's staff because of her personality "would fit well" with the Filipino housemates, as well as being nice and not too aggressive. On the other hand, Bruce was chosen by the Slovenian staff because of his physique and his "very Filipino" characteristics that would stir up competition among the men there.^[9]

To let Filipino viewers know about Bruce's situation in the Slovenian House, some footage from the Slovenian version related to Bruce was also shown, aside from the events inside the Philippine House. English conversations recorded on both Houses were subtitled into Filipino, while any Slovenian conversation and comment was dubbed over by Filipino voice actors to let the Filipino viewers understand better.

Aside from introductions and trading of basic phrases, each swapped housemate took part in activities especially those involving the culture of each respective host country while each swapped housemate also introduced a part of his/her own culture to the host country's housemates. Tina taught the Philippine housemates the polka and cooked a potica for them; she tasted several Filipino street foods and took part in the PBB Fiesta. She even give her nominations for eviction although she was in the Philippine House. Bruce, on the hand, prepared adobo and taught the housemates the tinikling to the Slovene housemates; he also helped build a snowman using artificial snow and even disguised himself as a cow using body paint. Furthermore, he signed t-shirts for an upcoming auction because Slovenian viewers already knew about his mother's condition and sales from the auction were be used for her benefit.

While Tina left the Philippines without much incident involving her, Bruce left Slovenia with controversy brewing up behind him. Slovenian housemates Miha and Pero made racist remarks about Bruce a few days before Bruce left — remarks that did not sit well with both Big Brother and the viewers there. Because of that and Pero's "plan" of "stabbing Big Brother," Big Brother removed Pero from the Slovenian House^[10] and then added Miha to the list of nominees for eviction, which already included Jasmina and Sonja.

Tina was eventually evicted from the Slovenian House about three weeks after the Swap.

On June 30, 2007, the season finale, dubbed "The Big Night at the Big Dome" was held at the Araneta Coliseum, also known as the Big Dome. The housemates were transported by vintage cars on the way to the venue. During the program, the fourteen other housemates, as well as Tina Semolic from the Slovenian version, danced various Philippine dances and even the polka. Also present in the event were previous Pinoy Big Brother winners Nene Plamio (née Tamayo) of the first season, Keanna Reeves of the Celebrity Edition, and Kim Chiu of the Teen Edition, as well as Zanjoe Marudo of the Celebrity Edition, and Sam Milby of the first season.

Aside from the opening number, the only other huge number in the mostly formal and story-driven finale was the "final four housemates," played by Jon Santos as Mickey, Candy Pangilinan as Bea, Giselle Sanchez as Gee-Ann and R. S. Francisco as Wendy, engaging on a debate on who should be the winner.^[11]

In the end, Beatriz was declared the winner, garnering 1,571,556 votes or 30.29% of total votes cast. Mickey came in second with 1,286,166 votes (24.79%), Wendy, visibly booed by the audience, came up third with 1,209,978 votes (23.32%), and Gee-Ann ended up last at 1,119,714 votes (21.58%). The total number of votes, which were amassed since the start of the open voting on June 17, 2007, broke all records held by all previous editions. For dramatic effect, Beatriz was brought into the stage in a giant disco ball.

Note 1: The four secret housemates were put up for eviction because only two people were needed to complete the official housemate roster of fourteen.
Note 2: Among the six housemates who were reprimanded by Big Brother because of various violations to house rules, Kian lost the determining game and was therefore automatically nominated. The two additional housemates, Bodie and Maricris, were exempt from the nominations process, while Ezekiel and Dionne were immune from eviction.
Note 3: Kian became immune from nomination due to his win in the special games on Day 28 and his escape from eviction the following night. Beatriz answered the seventh call from the big red telephone, signalling her automatic nomination. Wendy originally used her power of changing the official list of nominees by replacing her name with that of Maricris. But after much reconsideration and a burst of emotion, she asked Big Brother to reverse her decision. Later that night, Big Brother reinstated the original official list of nominees.
Note 4: There were no nominations on the day of the announcement of nominees. Big Brother automatically put Gee-Ann, Kian, Bodie, and Dionne up for eviction because of Gee-Ann's breach in the five-pound weight gain rule (see above) and Kian, Bodie, and Dionne's negligence in using their lapel microphones.
Note 5: Bruce was given an exemption on Day 63 from the next nomination round for his accomplishment in the Big Brother Swap. Mickey was also given immunity for winning a special game back in Day 36. Wendy was put up automatically for eviction because of her accidental misuse of her lapel microphone, despite her admission to the mistake she did. On Day 65, even before the fourth nomination round could even take place, Maricris was forced out of the House by Big Brother because of her acts and thoughts of violence against herself and several other housemates. On Day 65, after Maricris left, Mickey kissed Saicy, which signaled her automatic nomination. Because of the number of nominees already up for eviction, only Dionne, the highest earner of nomination votes, was included and not Beatriz, the second highest earner. As a side note, the two names given by Mickey were his first two choices to whom he would give the kiss of Judas.
Note 6: Geraldine and Yen had just entered the House on Day 70 so they were exempted from nominations. However, only one of them would remain by the next week, and this choice was determined through votes by the other housemates.
Note 7: Wendy and Kian were voted back into the house by public voting. Although Ezekiel and Jasmin were evicted on Day 84, Big Brother allowed them to stay in the main house area for one day. Ezekiel was in the main house area from Day 84 to 85, while Jasmin was in there from Day 85 to 86.
Note 8: Saicy was nominated for her breach in the weight rule while Gee-Ann was nominated because she admitted to talking while her lapel microphone was accidentally turned off. Kian and Wendy were not yet in the main house area and the other housemates were not yet supposed to know of their presence, so they were not part of the week's nominations. Although technically evicted, Jasmin was present in the House during the announcement of nominees.
Note 9: Nominations were held face-to-face with badges attached to each nominated housemate. Their face-to-face nominations must be the same as their private nominations earlier; Mickey inadvertently switched the points he gave to Nel and Bruce, but he corrected it after he was reminded by Big Brother of the former's mistake.
Note 10: All voting would determine the final four and the eventual winner. The lowest three from the seven remaining housemates would each be evicted in the three eviction nights indicated in the table. During each of the eviction nights, the call-out order of names of those who were saved does not reflect their standing in the tally.

     Granted Immunity (due to successful execution of "Secret Task", challenge winner, etc.)

     Automatic Nomination (due to secret housemate twist, violation(s) committed, 5-pound Weight gain Rule, "Big Red Telephone" Challenge, etc.)
