Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity Season 10
Echarri entered as a housemate of Kumunity Season 10's Celebrity Edition, having previously entered as a houseguest with the Gold Squad in Pinoy Big Brother: Otso. He was the fourth evictee of the edition, and he was nominated by almost all of his housemates due to his overcompetitiveness and unwillingness to play fair.

His time inside the Big Brother house attracted criticism online, mostly from fans of their loveteam KyCine, due to his apparent closeness with fellow housemate and former GirlTrends member Chie Filomeno, including a scene where Echarri cried after Filomeno got evicted as he was also blamed online for her eviction due to supporters of their loveteam called Kycines

Post-Pinoy Big Brother
On a guesting in Magandang Buhay, Echarri clarified that he and Filomeno are friends, explaining that their closeness was because they both went through a time in showbiz where netizens treated them (individually) on a bad light and, through PBB, felt like they have to prove something and "fighting for our spot inside the house." His loveteam with Diaz dissipated after his eviction as she moved on to other projects, including one with Echarri's fellow housemate KD Estrada.
