Their hopes of hitting the 'Top Four' won't come true, but Chelsie Hightower and Mark Kanemura aren't turning their noses up at a 'Top Six' finish.

Mark: One of the things that I guess I really take with me is that I’ve learned to be, I guess, more confident in who I am and the voice that I have just because I think that that’s the thing that got me on the show was my uniqueness. It really helped me to be more secure in it.

Chelsie:One of the things I learned about this competition is it’s so much mental strength that you need so I would just say to prepare your mind mentally and to be positive and to know that you can do it and also take classes and do all that stuff and take as many classes in the other styles as you can because you have to do everything on this show.

Post-Show Blues? Not Likely

Mark: Honestly, I am feeling – I know it sounds like I'm covering up my emotions - really, really,happy with everything. I just feel like everything lined up for me to leave on an awesome, awesome note as far as who I got to work with this week. I’m really happy that I was able to stay true to myself through the whole process and I’m really proud of myself and in my own way I feel like I’ve won. So, I’m actually really good right now.

Chelsie: No regrets at all. I was always myself on the camera and that always mattered to me the most - just being who I am and staying true to who I am. I’m very grateful and so blessed to be even a part of this show and to make it this far was awesome.
