And last but definitely not the least, Jason Dy showcased his flamboyant side as he transformed into Elton John.The jury members—Erik Santos, Sharon Cuneta, and Ogie Alcasid—each had their own ranking.

Thanks to the 6 points from Ogie and another 6 points from her co-performers, Rufa Mae climbed up as the second lead with a total of 18 points.Well, it was pretty much an exciting night for Rufa Mae, as the one who copied her, Alexa, also emerged as the highest scorer with 36 points. This marks a back-to-back win for Alexa, following her previous victory as Thalía.Next weekend, the Grand Showdown officially begins!
