Because it's cool watching the underdogs win.

What Nick says is true, and it also goes further. There are 21 teams in the eliminations on alliances other than the 1114/2056 alliance. I would be willing to bet that all of those 21 teams would rather not have to face 1114/2056 to win the championship. Thus, if 1114/2056 were to lose in the quarter finals, you can bet there is going to be a gigantic roar from the crowd simply from those 21 teams that would be thanking their lucky stars that they don't have to get through the favorite to win.
