Losing quarter-finalists (Week 1), weekly finalists 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), 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 their seat and continue the battle, or dethrone and rest. The resbaker choosing to keep the seat 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.
 * Resbaker keeping the seat of power for three consecutive days 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.
