The judges watched the unfolding scene with palpable tension, each eager to see the decision Emily would make.
David couldn't contain his excitement. "Oh, come on, Emily. Please don't break my heart. You have to choose Talon if you want to win the contest. The opportunity is right in front of you," he exclaimed.
Heejin chimed in with her perspective, "I highly doubt Talon would reject her. He's not that type of person, is he? I have faith in him."
Sofia shook her head thoughtfully. "I agree. Talon is not the type to turn someone down. Plus, let's not forget that they all have their eyes on the grand prize. It only makes sense for Emily to choose Talon and for Talon to accept."
"Derek and Claire still have a chance to win, right? Especially if Talon and Emily's strategy is known to others?" Oscar added, considering all possibilities.
