This year's Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition has been stirring the public's reactions in the best (and sometimes, worst) ways possible. From unpredictable celebrity duos to jaw-dropping eviction nights, PBB is definitely serving peak entertainment, FR.

Guess it's safe to say that we enjoyed this year's celebrity edition. (Read: We're avid viewers here at Cosmo.) What made us enjoy this season is the fact that we had the chance to get to know some rising celebrities who are totally worth our support. And yes, we're referring to Shuvee Etrata.

The young Sparkle artist was one of the last celebrities to have entered Bahay Ni Kuya (BNK) in April, and since then, she has proven to be a fun and hardworking gal throughout her stay. Unfortunately, in the most recent eviction night, Shuvee got evicted along with Kapamilya singer Klarisse de Guzman a.k.a. Klang.

Indeed, PBB fans were disappointed with the outcome. Shuvee and Klang were two of the most loved housemates this season, and people naturally hoped they would make it to the Big Night or the finale of the reality show.

We know, we're never moving on from Shuvee's eviction from BNK—so, allow us to share with you more about Shuvee, Ang Island Ate ng Cebu ;)

Who Is Shuvee Etrata? Here Are 8 Facts About Her

She's a 2001-liner.

The gorgeous Shuvee is actually one of the youngest housemates during the PBB: Celebrity Collab Edition. She was born on June 4, 2001.

If you haven't been watching PBB this season (why not?!), Shuvee actually celebrated her 24th birthday inside BNK. It was also one of the episodes that went viral. Shuvee wore red knowing it was birthday, and kept asking for some grilled meat from Kuya, LOL! She's that carefree.

Shuvee is her real name.

When we first heard her name, obviously, we thought it was a unique name. It turns out, it's really her real name! It's not a stage name she took up when she entered showbiz.

In one of her conversations with the housemates, she shared that it's actually because her parents met at the University of Visayas, which is also known as UV, hence, Shuvee. Cute!

Shuvee's a loving Ate to her family.

Her PBB moniker, Island Ate ng Cebu, was chosen for a reason. According to The Freeman, Shuvee is the eldest of nine siblings. Like most breadwinners in the entertainment industry, she entered showbiz to create a better life for her family. And her PBB stint? It's not just to gain more fame, but she really aimed to get that Big Winner title and get the chance to provide her family with their own house.

As soon as she stepped out of the PBB house, Shuvee received a call from her family, who are all residing in Bantayan Island, Cebu. The 24-year-old ex-housemate couldn't hide her emotions and broke down in tears after being evicted. Shuvee apologized to her family for not winning, and of course, her family and friends comforted her. You did well, Shuvee! :)

She wanted to be a doctor.

In another life, Shuvee would've been a doctor. That was before Sparkle discovered Shuvee, who was, back then, a budding social media content creator. Before entering showbiz, Shuvee was actually studying Physical Therapy at Cebu Doctors' University.

Her mother Jorena told The Freeman, "I remember Shuvee said if she pursued being a doctor, it would be a long process. GMA's offer was an opportunity for her to help us financially. She felt this need to help our family."

Shuvee's a beach girlie.

Shuvee was born and raised in Bantayan Island in Cebu—so she's a proud beach girlie. Even after relocating to Manila for work, she finds time to go on beach getaways and discover amazing islands. And when she does, trust that we're getting dainty beach outfits from Shuvee!

We also love how Shuvee is all about living a healthy lifestyle without giving up her love for food. Inside PBB, she admits being able to eat five cups of rice in one sitting, but she knows she has to keep it balanced by working out. Talk about discipline, for sure.

She's found her celebrity besties!

It hasn't been long since Shuvee made her way into showbiz. But thankfully, she's already found her comfort people. Through the years, she has formed a wonderful friendship with fellow Sparkle stars Ashley Ortega, Skye Chua, and Roxie Smith. It's not because they often have projects together, but as we see it, it's because they enjoy each other's company so much!

The mentioned Sparkle stars also welcomed Shuvee as soon as she stepped outside BNK. The sweetest friends, indeed :)

Shuvee has her TDH standards.

In case you still haven't heard that viral "Tall? Check. Dark? Check. Handsome? So check," TikTok sound, we're here to tell you already that it's originally Shuvee exclaiming all those words.

It was during her conversation with Kuya, after Donny Pangilinan entered BNK as a house guest. And yes, Shuvee confessed how much Donny checks all the standards as her "happy crush." At the time, Shuvee couldn't even talk to Donny or even go near him because of how starstruck she was, LOL!

Shuvee's IRL TDH?

Since we're all informed about TDH already, let's talk about Shuvee's potential IRL TDH. The Internet was buzzing after tall, dark, and handsome Anthony Constantino made an appearance during Shuvee's eviction night. The newest Sparkle artist welcomed Shuvee with a bouquet of flowers, not even hiding his sweet connection to the ex-PBB housemate.

With that, people are speculating if the two are dating. And even though there are a lot of indications already, we're taking everything with a grain of salt. But we'll be here seated for the confirmation ;)
