A pleased Adriana Zamfir it was the same reaction from Danny Torres:

 

“They have a good attitude they are good friends they are a team together” he stressed. “Galia sets a very good example here her attitude was perfect she was in good shape well prepared; it was the same for Maria she was excellent.”
