Toni Gonzaga at Bianca Gonzalez
MATINDING pressure pala ang naramdaman ni Bianca Gonzalez nang maging main host ng “Pinoy Big Brother” bilang kapalit ni Toni Gonzaga.
Kakaibang challenge raw para sa Kapamilya TV host ang mag-host ng “PBB” nang wala si Toni sa naturang programa for the first time.
Nag-post ng mahaba-habang open letter si Bianca sa kanyang Instagram post tungkol dito pagkatapos ng “PBB Gen 11” Big Night last weekend kalakip ang ilang BTS o behind the scene photos sa set at studio ng “PBB.”
“(Ang aking essay entry) this season was extra special for me in so many ways and there is nothing but gratefulness in my heart.

“Not a lot of people know, but this season is likely the most challenging one to put together—from auditions til the Big Night, post-franchise, post-shutdown, with less than our usual number of staff, with less minutes on air for episodes,” simulang pagbabahagi ni Bianca.
Patuloy pa niya, “My deepest admiration and appreciation goes to our creatives, staff, crew and bosses who gave their best and went over and beyond—many of them I’ve been with over a decade and are truly like family in our second home.
“Much love to Marcus, Olly, Alex, Alvin, Patch, Vince who I constantly messaged throughout the season with passionate opinions hahaha thank you for putting up with meeee! It’s only us hosts you see on screen, but it takes over 100 people to produce this show every day for over 3 months.
“We never really know how each season will fare with viewers, we always say it depends on the magic of when the housemates come together. And truly, it was MAGICAL.
“Thank you to our 20 housemates for trusting us with your stories. A huge congratulations, to personally, one of my favorite Big 4s in PBB history—Kai, Kolette, Rain, and our Big Winner Fyang,” lahad ng TV host.
Kasunod nga nito ay ang rebelasyon ni Bianca about feeling the pressure as “PBB” host minus her friend and former co-host na si Toni Gonzaga.
“I didn’t tell anyone, but I felt the most massive pressure this season—who wouldn’t? To do our first season without Toni, who is the face of the show and only one who can do it the way she does, is no easy task.
“I did the best I could to host in a way that’s most authentically me, that honors the housemates’ lives and does justice to everyones’ tireless work behind the scenes.
“Hosting this season with them who I consider my younger siblings—Robi, Kim, Melai, Enchong, and now Alexa—made the job even more meaningful and of course, fun!
“They are some of the BEST in the industry and I learn so much and are so inspired by just watching them shine. I also would not be able to survive the daily grind without the support of my team and I am very grateful to them.
“Thank you God for the *leGENdary* success of this season and for making me a part of this cultural juggernaut of a program that never ceases to inspire people and change lives,” pagbabahagi pa ni Bianca.
