After a spectacular opening number by the former teen housemates, the four hosts manned their stations and prepared to welcome the new batch of teens to enter Kuya’s house. Each stepped onstage in a summer themed outfit and was escorted by either Toni, Luis, Mariel or Bianca. A brief intro and they were sent off with a few words of advice from a loved one.
Of the 30 dream key holders, only 14 made it inside Kuya’s funky modern Moroccan-inspired house. There’s Ejay, the Promdi Hottie and Kevin, the Spanish Stallion who are both new to urban Manila though they are from very different backgrounds. Next up were hot chicks Nicole, Cebu’s In-Chick, and Linda, Iriga’s Bikini 
Babe. The first four were joined by Nan the Junior Kenkoy and Alex, the Italian Valentino. Dad issues are the common bond between Rona, the Prisoner’s Daughter and Bubbly Girl Jieriel. A beauty and a jock followed -- Jolas the Gentle Giant and Beauty, the Rebellious Beauty. Germany is represented by Valerie, the Dazzling Doll, and hot on her heels was Mindanao’s Deaf Dreamer, Priscilla, who wowed host Luis when she quickly answered the questions set to her. The last two spots were filled in by Robi and Josef, who went in together, if only to show the school rivalry which is their main point of interest. Robi is tagged the True-Blue Atenista and Josef, the Lethal Lasallite.
Kuya gave his first welcome message to the housemates too and summarized his initial expectations into what he called the Four F’s. It was during this verbal communication that Priscilla’s disability became apparent to viewers and a source of wonder. How will she be able to cope for the rest of the season, with Kuya constantly giving instructions without being seen? Kuya also added to the excitement by letting the housemates know that there’s already an upcoming task for them. Keep tabs on that by watching PBB Teen Edition Plus Uber with Mariel after Naruto and the Primetime telecast with Toni right after Lobo. Another plus to watch out for is the glamorous secret room that Luis gave a sneak peek to. Who will occupy that side of the house?

In a house blessing held last Friday, March 14th, Business Unit Head Laurenti Dyogi and entire Pinoy Big Brother team welcomed special guests to view redecorated interior of the house. Upon the entrance to the living room, guests were instantly greeted by the bright colors on the walls. The furniture and accessories reflect the burst of color which ranged from purple to lime green. The living room is now much spacious than before, perfect for the lively and energetic teens who willbe residing there in a few days.
In the boys' bedroom, the beds are now separated from one another, while the beds in the girls' bedroom are now aligned head against the wall unlike the round position of the two previous seasons. Also, a wide glass wall now separates the interior of the house and the outside pool area, thus, the housemates and even the viewers will have a bigger view of the house from whichever camera. Furthermore, an "island" type of cooking facility was introduced to enable the housemates to face and interact with one another while doing different chores in the kitchen. 
Designers Jezer Manucdoc and Aissa Sta. Maria, graduates of the Philippine School of Interior Design, gladly shared how they came up with the concept for the new house. Chezer and Aiz, who were part of the PSID student design team for Season 2 and Celebrity Edition 2, generally described the house's current look as "funky Moroccan." Aiza revealed that they particularly chose bright colors to match the personality of the teen housemates who will be spending their summer inside Kuya's house. Chezer, on the other hand, said that changing the look of the pool was crucial since during this hot summer season, the pool will be frequently used by the housemates.
