Resbakbakan

Due to the popularity of the Quarter Finals and Semifinals Rounds, the show added another phase, dubbed as Resbakbakan. Losing quarter-finalists (Week 1), weekly finalists and defending champion selected by the hurados (Week 2), and semifinalists (Week 3) who are not gonged may still advance to the week-long Grand Finals through the Resbakbakan Week as wildcards.

The Resbakbakan started immediately after the final day of New Normal Semifinals Round, aired from January 11 to 16, 2021 (Week 1),[13] from January 18 to 23, 2021 (Week 2), and from January 25 to 30, 2021 (Week 3).

It uses a similar format as the Final Resbak in third season, where it follows a last man standing format.

It follows the mechanics below:

  • On its first day, the resbaker on the Seat of Power was determined through draw lots.
  • The resbaker who is in the Seat of Power picks two resbakers. The three resbakers will be pitted against each other for a chance to claim the Seat of Power. The winner is selected by the majority of the judges. The resbaker with the highest score claims the Seat of Power while the resbaker with the lowest score is eliminated in the competition.
  • The resbaker who is in the Seat of Power has the choice to keep his/her seat and continue his/her battle, or dethrone himself/herself to rest. If he/she chooses to keep his/her seat, he/she will choose one resbaker. Else, the resbaker will choose two resbakers for a sing-off battle with the top 2 resbaker in the previous day. The resbaker with the highest score claims the Seat of Power.
  • If the resbaker keeps the seat of power for three consecutive days, he/she receives an additional ₱15,000.
  • The remaining contender in the Seat of Power at the end of the round will move forward to the week long Grand-Finals dubbed as "Ang Huling Tapatan" while the other contenders are eliminated.

Marlyn Salas (Luzon), Mark Anthony Castro (Luzon), and Arlene Cagas (Metro Manila) chose not to participate in this round due to their other priorities.

The scores of the grand finalists will be based on Hurados' Score (50%) and public votes (50%) through text. Public votes will return in this segment after being excluded during the previous rounds in this season.

The top 6 grand finalists will be determined throughout the week instead of the immediate advancement after each round in the previous seasons. One finalist will be eliminated at the end of each round. The scores of the remaining finalists will reset back to zero on the next round.
