Bolded names indicate Circle selections, and italicized names are electronically selected partners.

In this round, the initially selected duet performs first. Other duos can then challenge them. The Clash Panel votes to advance one pair. The losing pair faces each other in the 'Matira ang Matibay' round, where the Panel again decides who continues.
