Pinoy Big Brother: All In


The fifth season of the reality game show Pinoy Big Brother, subtitled [|All In] aired on ABS-CBN for 120 days from April 27 to August 24, 2014.
This season marked a Big Brother first worldwide: adult civilians, teenagers and celebrities lived in one house and competed altogether for the prize. Due to the mixed contestant types, this season is referred to as a "special edition". Later seasons of the show would follow suit, albeit with different formats and twists. The season's number continues with the numbering of the previous seasons. This numbering would be followed by the next seasons produced by the show.
Brazilian model, actor, and footballer Daniel Matsunaga emerged as the season's winner, becoming the third celebrity to win in the franchise after Ruben Gonzaga won Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 2 in 2008. Teen housemate Maris Racal was the runner-up, while celebrity housemate Jane Oineza and civilian housemate Vickie Rushton were the third and fourth placers, respectively.
