The batch consisted of all the Big Four finalists from the four previous batches, returning to compete for the Big Night and Ultim8 Big Four. It aired for 4 weeks, from July 7, 2019 to August 4, 2019.
The batch had introduced a new gameplay for advancing to the Big Night finale, as well as for advancing the Ultim8 Big Four. There were no nominations in this batch. Instead, the Batch Big Four teamed up for challenges to get the four remaining Big Otso slots for their batch.
Eventually, three members of Batch 2 and one member of Batch 4 emerged as the Ultim8 Big Four, with Yamyam Gucong of Batch 2 declared as the Ultim8 Big Winner of the entire season.
Within 45 minutes, the Big 4 of each batch had to shoot a ball in the correct hole by controlling a hanging table maze using the ropes provided. The first three batches with the highest number of balls shot will advance to the next round.
Batch 3
11 points
While blindfolded and seated on the floor, each Batch had to collect as many balls as they can while traversing through a maze. If a batch failed to reach the end of the maze after an hour, they will be given a penalty—a deduction of 8 balls from the balls they have collected. They are only allowed to carry the balls within their arms and hands; any other methods or techniques were prohibited. The team with the fewest balls will be eliminated.
Batch 4
37 balls
Each batch must carry and balance a giant dice by holding their respective stick poles while carefully crossing an obstacle. At the end of the obstacle, they have to throw the big dice to a designated platform to correctly match in the right order the three individual dice numbers given. For the last dice number, the batch winner per batch will have to sit out from game, leaving only the three members to finish the said challenge. The first team to match all three dice numbers in the correct order wins the challenge and will have the chance to take the 5th Big Otso throne via public voting.
Batch 2
Batch 1
A picture set is given to a member of the team, wherein he has to memorize the items and place the said items in a designated area. for them to get the items, they have to use and wear a pair of a long wooden plank of slippers with ropes attached on it. The items must be placed in the exact order.
There will be three rounds to this challenge: easy, average, and difficult. For the easy round, they will get one point for every picture set they have arranged correctly. On the other hand, for the average and difficult rounds, they will get two and three points, respectively. The points accumulated by the teen batches will be used by their respective adult partner batches for their own Pinoy Big Batch-Bakan round.
Batch 1
17 Points
Batch 3
1 point
From the starting area, a team member must run towards the wired fence place on the other side of the activity area wherein 44 items used in the first round are placed on the opposite side of the fence. The housemate must then retrieve one item using only one's fingers towards the top part of the fence. First batch to retrieve all the items will win the round and will face their teen batch partner in the next round.
Note that the points garnered by the partner teen batches will be used to deduct the number of items the adult batches will have to retrieve. As to Batch 2, they will have to retrieve 43 out of 44 items; while Batch 4 will have to retrieve 27 out of 44 items.
Batch 4
Batch 2
Each batch has to retrieve eight bags using their fingers from the other side of a wired fence. However, in this round, to get the bags, they have to follow a path. The said path is divided into several levels; on every level, a member per batch should continue in moving the bag until the last member moves the bag to the end of the path. If the bag drops, they have to start again from the lowest level of the path. Once they completed collecting all the bags, they have to untie all of these bags and retrieve the eight numbers. Once all the numbers have been retrieved, they have to add them all up mentally—they are not allowed to used anything, other than their mental capability, to help them solve the mathematical challenge. If they feel that they have the correct number, they have to raise their flag and proceed to the confession room to tell Big Brother their answer. If the batch is correct, they'll win the challenge; if they are wrong, they will have to wait for 8 minutes to give their another answer.
Batch 1
Batch 4
Each member must transfer a ball by rolling it at the one end of a roof-like platform and catch the said ball at the other end without letting the ball bounced off from the platform. A member will have to go back to the starting line if the ball falls while rolling without reaching the other end of the platform or bounces off. If he is successful, he has to place the said ball to a designated container; once done, another member will have to do the same until all the balls are transferred. A batch is given three choices of balls: a basketball (1 point), a billiard ball (2 points), and a rubber ball (3 points). Any member of a batch may choose any kind of ball, but they are still required to completely transfer all the balls to the container within an hour. A batch who fails to transfer all the balls, or who has the longest time to transfer all the balls, or who has the fewest points will be eliminated from the challenge.
Batch 1
Batch 3
One at a time, each member of each batch had to place either a small block or a big block on a hanging unstable table. If ever a block falls or tumbles on or off the table, they will have to restock their blocks from the start. The batch with the most blocks in a certain amount of time given wins the challenge, and the members of the winning batch will have a chance to win the 7th throne. Separately, they will also have a chance to win a condominium unit.
Batch 2
47 blocks
Batch 1
44 blocks
The members of the winning batch from last challenge will have to stand on three separate level footrests against two walls. As instructed by Big Brother, they will have to move to the lower pair of footrests and, later, to the lowest pair at certain points, testing their endurance. The lower the level is, the smaller the footrests gets. The last standing housemate wins a condominium unit.
Yamyam Gucong and Fumiya Sankai gave way to let Karina Bautista and Yen Quirante compete instead.
Yen
Karina
Using seven tetris like blocks, each batch must complete a giant building block puzzle that will have to resemble like a throne. The challenge will be time based, thus, the batch that will finish the challenge first gets the most points. The batch that will finish last, or fails to finish the challenge within the time given will get the fewest points.
Batch 2
26 points
In this round, only the four batch winners were allowed to participate in the challenge. They were required to make their own makeshift sticks or poles to retrieve billiard balls. Once a billiard ball is retrieved, they will have to transfer them to a fenced area where tubes are placed in the wall; they will have to shoot the balls into the said tubes. The most balls shot into the tubes will earn the most points.
The members who had yet to earn a spot for the Big 8 were separated from the House. They were moved to the Activity Area wherein they will have to compete for the last two remaining rounds. For this round, each batch must transfer a billiard ball using half-open tubes placed on a path figured as a number eight. The first batch to transfer a billiard ball within two minutes wins the highest number of points.
For the last round, all members of each batch (including those who had already earned a spot in the Big 8) were eligible to participate. Each batch must pass around a billiard ball using handheld platforms around the 8 figure path used in the earlier round and shoot the said billiard ball in the color coded tube designated to each batch. The batch with the most billiard balls shot in their respective tubes, wins the most points.
Using the materials provided, the housemates must build a pole to retrieve the golden bars hanging from an apparatus shaped like the number 'eight' from a certain distance. The special task was still active during the challenge, so the Housemates must still remain on the Big Otso platform. Only two housemates may attempt to retrieve the gold bars at a time and any gold bars that are dropped on floor are out of play.
André | 24 bars |
Kiara | 21 bars |
Yamyam | 14 bars |
Lou | 13 bars |
Fumiya | 11 bars |
Lie | 9 bars |
Kaori | 5 bars |
Ashley | 3 bars |
In seven rounds, the housemates must pull towards them a lace with a certain number of stacked golden bars placed on it. If a stack tumbles down before reaching the finish line, they will have to restack them and start over from the starting line. Once a housemate had successfully pulled the lace to his finish line without tumbling the stacked golden bars, that round automatically ends. The winning housemate per round, except for the sixth and seventh rounds, will have the power to sit out two housemates from playing the challenge in the succeeding round. The first round will have two stacked golden bars; another bar will be added per round.
To gain a golden bar, each of the housemates must use a pair of sticks to bring two bars (first must be a bar with his/her batch color and another with a gold bar) and stack them together at the top of hanging circular maze. After stacking two bars, they must count for three seconds before attempting to try to stack another pair of bars. They are given only 15 minutes to finish this challenge.
At the start of the challenge, each housemate was informed by Big Brother that the golden bars they will retrieve will not be added to their individual total but to other housemates of their choice. Knowing such condition, they were asked if they will still do the challenge or not. If they will do the challenge, each of the housemates must transfer a number of gold bars of their choice towards a glass bowl. To enable to transfer the golden bars, such bars must be placed on top of another set of seven black bars horizontally joined together by two fingers, one at each end. They only have eight minutes to take the challenge and it depends on how many bars they want to transfer. them.
