Jay-R, who placed second with 246 points, shared, “Every week I get to learn new things and I apply all of them.  So the more weeks I do them, I feel like I’m getting better and better. This grand showdown, I think I will be at my best.”

“I was really shocked.   I didn’t believe it happened.  God moves in mysterious ways. I didn’t expect anything because I expected the worst.  But being in the bottom four is not the worst, because we’re all happy in the show.  I feel like I just beat [Floyd] Mayweather,” joked Cantiveros.

According to Guzman, “I want to thank all those who trusted, supported, and believed in me since the start of ‘Your Face.’ I promise that I will do my best to be the grand winner of ‘Your Face’ – that I promise.”
