Melos: The best thing about the appeal videos is that the participating members are allowed to do whatever they choose on their appeal videos. While some members will the the video seriously and voice out the reasons on why they should be voted and how they can reduce the global carbon emission, others just take it as their 1 minute of fame. The members will show their skills, some will come up with funny skits and others will dress up in elaborate costumes. You will get to see the crazy side of the girls.
