Blossom, instead of a question, delivered a statement in favor of Michaela, emphasizing her perseverance and underdog story.

Michaela mentioned her move to get Kitana to vote for herself, which led to Jasmine's elimination.

Amanda picked Kai, citing his strong game and strategic prowess. Michaela chose Kitana, praising their bond and gameplay.
