The group, which performed Luke Bryan's That's My Kind of Night and Wanted by Hunter Hayes on Wednesday's segment, seems determined to continue the journey.

"We are so thankful for the people who got behind us and voted and just still supporting us," group member Zach Beeken said in the exit interview. "I mean it's such a blessing. And, I'm so glad to know that we all got put together in this group, I think it is something special and it's not over yet."

The boys also took to social media to thank their loyal supporters and tweeted, "Thank y'all so much for this crazy journey. We've had the time of our lives and are so thankful for how far you've gotten us. We love y'all!"
