Known as the selfless duo, Brent and Mika’s big hearts captivated the viewers with the sacrifices they were willing to make. These selfless acts not only demonstrated their kind-hearted spirits but also proved them to be worthy of being big winners.

“Strength po siguro namin ni Brent—endurance. Ako po, personally, kung iba ‘yung ka-duo ko, hindi ako matatagalan kasi sobrang emotional ko. Same goes with Brent. Feeling niya kapag iba ‘yung naka-duo niya, hindi niya maipapakita ‘yung siya masyado. Naiintindihan namin kasi para kaming nananalamin sa isa’t-isa talaga,” Mika said in the exclusive Metro cover story.

“I guess, ‘yung maturity namin pareho. Mika, I would say, she’s very intelligent, also emotionally. Not just sa utak lang. She knows how to handle kung anuman ‘yung presented to her. I would say the same for me. We also don’t back down. Meron kaming paninindigan,” Brent added.

Meanwhile, the unexpected and formidable duo of Ralph and Will embraced the meaning of brotherhood as they showed their fighting spirit as task slayers and reliable friends to their fellow housemates.

Charlie and Esnyr may have been formed from what’s left with the remaining housemates, but their duo felt like it was made by fate. They both bravely took on the role of being breadwinners for their families, which made them relate to one another.

The journey of AZ and River, on the other hand, is nothing but cinematic and dramatic. They were initially voted as the least desirable duo, still their perseverance and being in touch with their emotions showed how they deserved their hard-earned spot in the Big Four.
