Catarina Almada is eliminated. For the second week in a row, Teresa Queirós is in the bottom 2.
Top 7 (first week) – Songs from the Movies
João Santos was the contestant with the least amount of votes, but the judges decided to save him and with that, the following week two people will go home. Inês Herédia and Mariana Domingues were shockingly in the bottom 3, both for the first time.
Top 7 (second week) – Great Portuguese Hits
Inês Herédia and Margarida Carriço were eliminated. André Cruz was once again in the bottom 3. The first name revealed was Margarida Carriço's, but was never told that she had been the person with the least amount of votes. Margarida Carriço was probably the most shocking elimination, because she was in the Top 5, in the first live show, and she had never been in the bottom 2 or 3 until her elimination.
Top 5 – Viewers' Choice and Judges' Choice
From this point on, every contestant sings two songs. Teresa Queirós was eliminated, which is not a big shock, because she had been in the bottom twice before. André Cruz was in the bottom 2 in his third time.

Top 3 – 3 Songs, 3 Languages
André Cruz is eliminated. The presenters revealed that Mariana was in the final, which meant that Diogo and André were the bottom 2.
