Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 1 is the first celebrity edition and the second season of the overall series of ''Pinoy Big Brother''.

It 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. This is the second series overall in the franchise. The series was originally scheduled to start a day before but due to the Wowowee ULTRA stampede tragedy 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 ₱5 million, which includes ₱1 million pesos for the winning housemate, another ₱1 million for the winner's chosen charity, ₱1 million for the charity of Big Brother's choice and a condominium unit worth ₱2 million.

The celebrity edition had used 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.

After 6 weeks, Keanna Reeves emerged as the winner, the first ever celebrity to win in the show.

Season Twists

• Back to Basics: The celebrity housemates entered in an empty house, with only the primary necessities present. The twist ended on Week 3, by finally having furniture and appliances inside the house.

The House

This season retained the floor plan used in Pinoy Big Brother 1.

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.
