Pinoy Big Brother: 737 is a two-part edition held under one season, 737. This is the sixth season and the twelfth overall of Pinoy Big Brother. It is also considered as the second special season after All In
The show started on June 20, 2015. This season coincides with the tenth year of Big Brother in the Philippines. It was hosted by Toni Gonzaga, Bianca Gonzales, Robi Domingo and Enchong Dee. Mariel Rodriguez, who served as the last celebrity houseguest, returned to the show after five years to host the Big Night. It began airing on June 20, 2015 on ABS-CBN and ended on November 8, 2015, lasting 142 days, only falling 13 days short of Unlimited. The show aired 10:00pm (PST) every Mondays to Sundays.
The season started with the entrance of the first batch of housemates: the teen housemates. They stayed inside the Big Brother House for seven weeks, until August 8, 2015. The next batch of housemates—the regular housemates—entered on Day 50. The four finalists of the teen batch returned to the House on Day 99. After the final eviction on Day 133, the public determines the winner of each batch. On the two-part finale, the third and fourth placers of each batch were announced. The votes went back to zero and the lines re-opened for the remaining housemates of each batch to determine the winners.
In the launch night, the first 7 revealed that the teen housemates will be staying in the house for seven weeks. 3 means that three celebrity houseguests, Mariel,Enchong and Karla, will be staying in the House. On August 21, 2015, during the tenth anniversary celebration, the second 7 was revealed to mean that the regular housemates and the winners of previous seasons will join to raise P3,000,000 in seven weeks, to build a community of 20 houses for 20 families.
On November 8, 2015, Miho Nishida & Jimboy Martin were declared winners of this season.

The House
Philippine Pop Culture
The facade of the house now extends to the previous facade of Pinoy Dream Academy next door but and for the first time, house's floor plan were changed.
The House Concept for this season is all about Pinoy Pop. Inspired by the mix of modern and classic Filipino Pop Culture, it was designed by J-Designs featuring the graphic illustrations by Rocketship Creative Design Lab.

The Dining and Kitchen Area was inspired by the Filipino fiesta and it features a replica of the iconic Sorbetes cart that served as the kitchen island. It also featured a Burger stand, a Fishball cart as a pop up wallpaper.
The Bedrooms were now larger than the three previous seasons. The Boys' Bedroom design featured large bottle caps or tansans with some Filipino words of courtesy and wise phrases inscribed in those tansans. The Girls' Bedroom featured large abaniko fans, which were part of the accessories of a classic Filipino women and it shows femininity. The confession room featured graphic tile patterns and traditional Capiz windows. The chair looks like a remnant of a calesa.

The show released a documentary online about the audition process of the show for the past ten years. It documented the evolution of the show's audition process and how these auditions changed the lives of the auditionees, as well as a quick look at how auditionees reflect the Philippine society, in general. There were commentaries from Laurenti Dyogi and Linggit Tan, the show's business heads, writer Ricky Lee, and anecdotes from people who have auditioned for the show multiple times. This was first shown as a three-part series in the first episodes of Pinoy Big Brother: 737 Online.

They will participate in online tasks and vote up or vote down other online housemates to earn points. The housemates with most points earned will be part of the top ten housemates, and eventually the final four housemates. The winner at the end will receive P100,000 and other prizes.
During the finale, a special song entitled Salamat Pinoy (Thank You Pinoy) was sung, made for the tenth anniversary of Pinoy Big Brother.
Big Brother Finale: Big Weekend at the Big Night
Prior to Days 141 and 142, The Teen and Regular Big 4 were given a surprise send-off in It's Showtime by Big Brother on November 6, Friday wherein he said that the Big Night will be held at the Albay Astrodome and Penaranda Park in Legazpi, Albay, and were then transported to a bus outside the Showtime studio (despite the fact that they are still wearing their bathrobes because they were swimming at the Resort area of the house but later changed). Upon arrival, they were greeted by Enchong and Robi at the Cagsawa Ruins.
Throughout the entire 2-day Big Night, spectacular production numbers were spearheaded by mainstay host Toni Gonzaga, together with all other housemates and Big Winners of the past 10 years including the 737 teen and regular housemates. The 7-day open voting was closed and the first set of announcements were made. Bailey May and Dawn Chang were named as 4th Teen and Regular Big Placers respectively while Franco Rodriguez and Roger Lutero were named as 3rd Teen and Regular Big Placers.
When the final two were about to anticipate the announcement of the Big Winner, Toni announced that the next set of announcements would be done the following night and for the first time in the history of PBB and in the Big Night, voting for the final 2 was reset to zero, to which the four remaining housemates reacted in shock. Meanwhile, the table shows the final tally of votes prior to the first set of announcements and note that the codes per housemate is similar to the name of their batches (K,B,T & N for Teens spelling out Kabataan and R,E,G & L for Regulars):

After the 24-hour open voting, the second set of announcements were made. Ylona Garcia was declared as the 2nd Teen Big Placer, making Jimboy Martin the Teen Big Winner of this edition by a close number of votes. Despite the fact that they made their relationship throughout the entire season, Tommy Esguerra was declared the 2nd Big Placer while Miho Nishida was declared this edition's Big Winner by a huge margin.
All Big Placers were transported from the Albay Astrodome to the stage just a few meters away to Penaranda Park through ATV vehicles, while Miho and Jimboy did the same thing, but this time, as part of the tradition of Big Winners, made their grand exit through the prop- base platform of the Cagsawa Ruins riding together in their ATV vehicle with showers of confetti.
These two nights also marked the absence of Bianca Gonzales (due to her pregnancy) and the return of Mariel Rodriguez as host after five years, similar to that of Gonzaga in the Big Night of the first Teen Edition and prior to her role as the last celebrity houseguest.
