*Jackalope was eliminated, ending his journey as a semifinalist in 5th place.
*Boto was eliminated, ending his journey as a semifinalist in 4th place.
==Trivia==
*Although the format went back to normal during the second round, both Joulupukki and Añañuca won a cash prize of $5,000 after winning their respective matchups.
*Jackalope's elimination on the first round was considered by many to be the worst elimination of the series, as Jackalope got his arc of growth and people did not want to see him gone on the first round. Boto mainly argued that the reasoning behind his choice was Jackalope breaking his alliance during the previous episode and saving Añañuca instead.
**Coincidentally or not, in the order of gifting the Golden Twink Beavers, Boto saved Añañuca first, then Joulupukki second, leaving his season teammates as the last contestants to receive a statue.
*Passion Fruit felt bad for Jackalope during his elimination, as she expressed how the game has become a real competition and that she wanted her entire season to reach finale. Jackalope was just happy to be a semifinalist, with a platform to show his evolution as a singer and personality. 
*Joulupukki and Añañuca were extremely shocked to be saved first during Boto's win, they were seen hugging and shaking hands as soon as they got their statues. Both also mentioned how the songs they sung were very meaningful for them, as Añañuca's song was her first marriage's song, while Joulupukki's song was his comfort song when he was a teenager.
*Añañuca was extremely happy to see Mannequin, Fashionista and Griever as guest panelists, specifically Griever, who rooted for her throughout the entire episode. Añañuca was noticeably more confident during her performances, which caused a boost in her voting.
*During the post-elimination interview, Jackalope was shown to have gained 1 million followers on Instagram throughout the season, with his covers reaching top charts as soon as he was sent home. He proceeded to talk about how grateful he was for such an opportunity, that he didn't expect to reach the semifinals and was just there to show his work.
*The Banana Bros made a special appearance during the second round, where they joined the panel for the final matchup and clarified that they were actually going to join the season as a duo, but had to quit a few weeks before the filmings started as they needed to serve as Mushroom's bodyguards, in their place, Wolf joined the competition.
*During the second post-elimination interview, Boto revealed how his entire tracklist was a love letter to Twink Beaver, as he didn't have an exact strategy for his songs, only choosing the ones he knows his partner likes and where he could show his voice to it's full potential. He also didn't expect to have bias from the panel, but he believed it to be innevitable. Boto was sad to go home right before the finale, but he believed his run to be a success, so he left the stage with no problem.
*Every single panelist besides the Banana Bros decided to not vote for Boto, due to Twink Beaver already wanting to vote for him to stay, once debated, Twink Beaver clarified that he just liked his partner's performances more, and that there's no problem with that when they're voting for who they liked the best.
**EyeCon and Lua de Cristal finally came to terms with Twink Beaver's judging, as they were still able to choose who they wanted to go home, so it wouldn't matter if Twink Beaver voted with or against them.
**The Banana Bros voted for Boto to stay because they found him funny.
*Añañuca fell on the floor and started crying as soon as she was declared the winner of her matchup, finally being considered worthy enough to reach the finale. She is the only non-finalist to reach the finale in this season.
**Joulupukki jumped after discovering he won against Passion Fruit, since he was sent to the bottom during his original semifinals; Passion Fruit, however, was a bit disappointed, since she won during her original semifinals.
***When she was declared safe over Boto she immediately went to hug him before rushing backstage, on later interviews, she revealed she was just excited to be a finalist that she wanted to yell and celebrate without being rude during Boto's elimination.
