She entered the house a day after the two Celebrity Housemates, Jinri Park and Nikko Natividad & McCoy DeLeon were announced as the two Lucky Stars finalists. It would be also the day where the first two Lucky Stars, would temporarily leave the house to give way for the upcoming Teen Edition. Maymay was the first teen housemate to enter the house, being the Lucky Teen Housemate. Since she was the first teen housemate to enter the house, the two Celebrity Housemates Jinri Park and Nikko Natividad & McCoy DeLeon were tasked to give her a dramatic welcome challenging how she'll act in an unpleasant situation.

In the Dream Team Chapter, aside from her loyal Lucky Sun housemates, Maymay also formed friendship along other Dream Team housemates, most especially among the Lucky Stars' Celebrity Finalists such as Nonong Ballinan whom she treated as a father figure to him, even calling him "tatay" a Tagalog word for father, as well as Jinri Park whom she treated as her Big Sister in the house. When both were evicted consecutively, Maymay was left devastated.
Throughout the Dream Team, she maintained her "safe" status and avoided the nominations block all throughout until the Big Night. On Day 228 of Week 34, she was proclaimed as among the Lucky 7 Dream Team Finalists to continue on the Finale.

Biography[]
The Miss Wacky-Go-Lucky of Cagayan De Oro
Marydale "MayMay" Entrata is a 18-year old student from Cagayan De Oro, studying at Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST). She was selected by the celebrity housemates themselves from the pool of auditionees. Her father left when she was one year old to start a new family, while her mother is an overseas worker based in Japan.
There’s never a dull moment whenever the housemates bond with 19-year old Maymay Entrata and for her, she could easily describe herself as “cheerful.” The “Wacky-go-lucky of Cagayan de Oro” shared that the reason she joined Pinoy Big Brother is to get her mom and brother back who are currently in Japan.
Maymay also came from a big family and she also wishes to take her family back in Davao since not all of them are working. When asked if she idolizes any of the past housemates, she said, “They said I'm like the two, Kim (Chui) and Melai (Cantiveros) and if combined KiMelai.”
When asked why she deserves to be the big winner, she answered, “I want to be an inspiration to everyone.”
“I will do everything to be an inspiration for everyone especially to those who are hopeless to reach their dreams,” she added.
Before joining PBB, Maymay was an ordinary college student and she shared that there was a time when her allowance going to school is just P5. She said that she has the option to spend that P5 for her transportation or for her food but she always chose to buy food instead.
For her, she describes the word love as “You don't know how to care for someone if you there's no love, that's the most important for me” while family is “they're you're life-long companion to everything.”
When asked about God she said that He is the source of everything and this is all temporary.[1]
