The Elico karma is unreal. Marco, literally cast as Angel Nathaniel, and Eliza with her angelic face—both heavily bashed to the point where people aggressively pushed for their eviction during the second eviction night. And it happened. But then the tables turned. Their supporters brought them back, and they proved exactly why they deserved to win the wildcard task. Eliza defeated Rave of AshRave, while Marco outperformed Anton of Carton/Kryston. And almost immediately after their return, Clifford of CapFord and Fred of Fredcess were evicted. One by one, the fandoms that once targeted Elico seemed to face the same fate. Now only Capeath and Lelquin remain—making Heath and Joaquin feel like the next dominoes. As for AshCo and LizGuel, it’s hard to expect much. Even Eliza stepped in, choosing to comfort Marco first before Miguel, which spoke volumes. The real issue now is the redemption arc. Viewers wanted growth—but suddenly, Elico is dominating screentime again. The editors are clearly baiting the audience, they’re inseparable once more, and the spotlight keeps following them. You reach a point where you don’t even want to watch anymore, yet the highlights scream one thing: Marco Masa and Eliza are the main characters. It feels like they never really left—just took a break in the outside world. Guestings, interviews, shows, Christmas and New Year with family—while their fans quietly saved up for the inevitable million-level support. And then—boom. They return, instantly favored by the narrative again. Love them or hate them, it’s undeniable: ratings go up when they’re around. A lot of people dislike them, yet the show thrives because of them. Still, the unfairness lingers. Clifford and Fred deserved better. A wildcard after the fifth eviction—or at least before nominations—would have made more sense. As it stands, it honestly feels like Elico could reach the Big Four, with Eliza potentially emerging as Big Winner. Whether people accept it or not, the story is clearly being written—and Elico is at the center of it. Are we watching a competition unfold, or a story finishing exactly where it was always meant to end?
