"To my ladies, some of you have really decided to show so much vulnerability on this show; it's incredibly inspiring," Kehlani said. "I'm happy for the love that you found. To my guys, a lot of you have really grown through this and become what seems to be really stand-up men, so I'm proud of you, I'm excited for you. And good luck on the rest of your journey, and love."
