I'm already predicting that these boys will win Season 4. They have an American-dream backstory (they're first-generation Filipino-Americans, whose parents have sacrificed for them); they traffic in '90s nostalgia (they were raised on boy bands like *NSYNC, Kris Kross, and, yes, Boyz II Men); and they're cute as heck, with charisma for days. Their performance of Bruno Mars's "Treasure" was a hoot. "You have so much personality, and it's really coming through," said Jewel. Ben described them as "absolutely fun and entertaining and grabbing from the first note," though he did say they sometimes got ahead of the beat. Shawn compared their "smooth, not too loud" style to Boyz II Men's. These boyz are going to go far, mark my words.

Dear Meliss,
In the past 10 years we've known each other, we've made over 200 mutual friends together, spanning over different chapters of our lives. It's pretty amazing to scroll down your Facebook tonight and see all their names congratulating you.
You've been there for me in my darkest times and I've seen you grow through some of yours. I think it just goes to show that no matter how hopeless things have felt in the past, everything eventually does work out, and everything does happen for a reason. Thank you for teaching me that.
This is BY FAR the happiest I've gotten over someone else's engagement. All those late nights we shared random YouTube vids of epic marriage proposals...and tonight, you just lived yours. I'm so unbelievably happy for you and Ryan. I love you guys and I cannot wait to hear the whole story. <333
Love you always,
Mel
