The season ended on July 5, after 119 days and having featured 20 housemates along with several houseguests. Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca were named the winners at the finale held at the New Frontier Theater, with Ralph De Leon and Will Ashley as first runners-up. Celebrity Collab Edition was the longest non-regular season of the franchise, surpassing Teen Edition 4 by 28 days, until it was surpassed by the succeeding season by eight days.
