Twins Joj and Jai from “PBB Teen Edition 4” know that “PBB” auditions are always a blockbuster. They said to stand out from the crowd, avoid playing it safe. Show what you’re capable of and put the spotlight on your uniqueness in the short span of time you’re given.

“Ipakita mo kung ano’ng kaya mo. Kung ano ‘yung kakaiba sa ‘yo. ‘Wag safe kasi baka hindi mapansin,” said the ladies from Bacolod.

For “PBB Otso” Big Winner Yamyam Gucong and “PBB Lucky 7” housemate Nikko Natividad, it’s more important to share your different interests and be natural because “PBB” looks for personality and character than looks.

“Be natural sa video mo. May hinahanap si Big Brother na uniqueness mo,” said YamYam.  While Nikko said, “’Wag niyo na lagyan ng filter. Mas magfocus kayo sa ano ang ugali niyo, sa’n kayo interesado.”

When you think you’ve done everything right, it’s time to offer it up to the Most High. That is the advice of “PBB Connect” Big Winner, Liofer Pinatacan. As a spiritual guy, Liofer shared that it’s all up to Him if being a housemate is in your cards.

“Prayer lang din talaga. Kung para sa ‘yo, para sa ‘yo yan. Ipakita mo kung ano ‘yung napakagandang kwento ng buhay mo,” said Liofer.

7) DON’T OVERTHINK IT – “PBB OTSO” ALUMNUS FUMIYA SANKAI

“PBB Otso” finalist Fumiya Sankai has a simple advice. Don’t overthink your audition and just focus on how you can make your personality shine. “Don’t think too much. Just be yourself,” he said.

Now that you’ve learned from the ex-housemates, it’s time to put the lessons into action and start reaching for your dream.  Again, to audition, just download the Kumu app, create an account, and upload a one minute kumu clip introducing yourself and share why you deserve to become a housemate. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #PBBKumuAdults for the Adult Edition and #PBBKumuTeens for the Teen Edition.
