AUDIENCE FAVORITES

I really thought it was between audience favorites Richard Hwan & Reza Kianifar who both were charming and thrilled everyone with their entertaining talent presentations but I guess a bigger weight was given for subdued masculinity, gentlemanly aura & sophistication.

SPECIAL NUMBER
