“I feel like no one should take things for granted ‘cause honestly, she’s one of the most talented people I know. Of course, if you ask me, I don’t think she should’ve gone home. I’m happy that I’m saved for another week but it’s gonna be [difficult because] it’s gonna be a week without her,” he said.

 

Though not completely settled on the idea that Koreen will no longer be in the competition he’s in, he affirms that he will still continue to court her. He hopes to still maintain that strong relationship they’ve already established.

 

“Yes, the answer is yes. I definitely still see myself being there for her and everything. [Her elimination] shouldn’t change things between us,” he added.
