00:00Previously on Finding Mr. Christmas.
00:05It's like Santa has a country home.
00:07Ten leading men arrived, ready to compete for the ultimate role.
00:11The leading man in a Hallmark holiday movie.
00:14In the first festive face-off, the holiday hunks transformed into Santa with a twist.
00:20I'm rockstar Santa.
00:22Please, keep that jacket on. Nobody wants to see that.
00:27Yo, how you doing? My name's Santini.
00:29Santini!
00:30Santini!
00:31Then came the star quality challenge, where the guys had to nail one of the trickiest rom-com moves of all time.
00:37The perfect meet-cube.
00:39I'm just blown away by your beauty.
00:41Some brought the magic.
00:42Especially if you had a good teacher.
00:44While others...
00:45It's that guy's fault.
00:47Oh my gosh.
00:48...wiped out.
00:50None were as charming as Rustin.
00:52You're good to go on the slopes.
00:54Not without a chaperone.
00:55Who is the very first shining star.
00:58Sadly, it was the end of the road for Jake.
01:04Nine leading men remain as the hunt for Mr. Christmas continues.
01:08Good morning, fellas.
01:18Anybody else wants coffee?
01:19I'm good, man.
01:20I'm good.
01:21You guys sleep pretty good?
01:22Not too bad.
01:23Not too bad.
01:24Yesterday was intense.
01:25I mean, it was crazy intense.
01:27You need to bring your A-game to every single challenge in this competition.
01:31I'm going to do my best to make my family proud and take home that title of becoming Mr. Christmas.
01:37My family has been super supportive.
01:39I mean, they really were like, you can't pass this up.
01:42You have to go.
01:43You have to go.
01:44I mean, my brother is just like, do it, dude.
01:46Go.
01:47Go make it happen.
01:48Better come back and win.
01:49I'm like, all right, man.
01:50Definitely my girlfriend pushed me the hardest.
01:51My boyfriend, we've been together for two years.
01:53How does he feel about you being here?
01:56He's so supportive.
01:57So supportive.
01:58He knows how badly I want to be an actor and how important it is to me.
02:01I just feel like I'm most nervous about letting people down.
02:05I'm nervous about letting myself down.
02:07And the champion has entered the building.
02:09How did you sleep?
02:10Oh, I slept all right, bro.
02:12How about you?
02:13The winner.
02:14Oh, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks.
02:16How are you feeling after last night?
02:18I'm really proud of myself.
02:20You know?
02:21Yeah, we're proud of you, too.
02:22So, which is a bit...
02:26I'm sarcastic.
02:28That's a big thing for me.
02:30Yeah, let it out.
02:32I love the fact that you carry your emotions on your sleeve.
02:38Like, you're vulnerable.
02:39You're so personable, and it, like, really comes through in your scenes.
02:42You know?
02:43It's how you hold yourself in your interactions with everybody,
02:46and it's how you handle yourself when you're on camera.
02:49It's pretty cool.
02:50Thanks.
02:51Rustin brings kind of this artistic, eclectic vibe,
02:54and he's separated himself among the top performers in this competition.
02:58But we got another festive face-off.
03:00I'm excited.
03:01We can kind of, like, get out there and be kids for a little bit, you know?
03:03What a rollercoaster.
03:04Yeah, yeah.
03:06Just like, push, pull, push, pull.
03:08I'm getting pulled.
03:10Oh!
03:11Hey!
03:12Festive face-off.
03:14Here we go.
03:15What's next, guys?
03:16What's next?
03:17Over here.
03:18Yeah!
03:19Hey, guys.
03:21Hey!
03:22Hey!
03:23I hope you all got some rest, because today we are going to be putting your holiday hunkness to the test.
03:29While nine of you still remain, only one of you will end up with a leading role in a Hallmark holiday film
03:36and be crowned Mr. Christmas.
03:38Christmas wouldn't be Christmas if Santa's sleigh didn't have gifts to deliver around the world.
03:44Today's festive face-off is all about agility, style, and teamwork.
03:51Because working well with your co-stars is a crucial part of being a leading man.
03:56It'll be fun to work as a team.
03:58A little bit of collaboration and camaraderie.
04:01First, let's get you into groups of three.
04:03The blue team is Craig, Gabe, and Robbie.
04:08All right.
04:09The red team is Drake, Marcus, and Rustin.
04:14All right!
04:15Yeah!
04:16That means the green team is Logan, Angel, and Davey.
04:20All right.
04:21All right.
04:22Let's go, fellas.
04:23Let's go!
04:24Let's go right now!
04:25It's time for a special delivery.
04:27Each team will have a pile of wrapped presents.
04:30With just ten minutes on the clock, you must heave as many gifts as possible into Santa's Yule Hall.
04:37Mmm.
04:38Very nice.
04:39Very nice.
04:40Oh, did I mention you're going to be using a giant slingshot to deliver the packages?
04:45This is a job that's going to take everyone.
04:48There can be no weak link.
04:50The team with the most packages in the sleigh at the end wins.
04:54Win, and you will receive an advantage going into the star quality challenge, which will be revealed later.
05:00With this advantage, I need it.
05:03But before you start heave hoeing holiday parcels, I need my festive bundle of joy out here.
05:10My teammate, Melissa Peterman.
05:13Woo!
05:14Hi!
05:15Hello, Melissa.
05:16This is going to be fun.
05:17I know.
05:18Have you ever slung presents into a sleigh, Melissa?
05:21Oh, gosh.
05:22That was my first job in college.
05:23I knew it.
05:24I knew it.
05:25All right.
05:26It's time for an epic sling-along.
05:28The festive fun starts...
05:30now!
05:31Go, go, go, go, go, go!
05:32Run, run, run like we're in here.
05:34You have to watch us run.
05:35I love it.
05:36Wait, we better get out of the way.
05:37Oh.
05:38I would love to be the one to pull it back and shoot it in.
05:40I used to have a slingshot as a kid, and I used to love slingshotting stuff, so I feel like I might have a little advantage here.
05:45I feel like I'm relatively good at maybe adjusting, like, trajectories.
05:49Okay.
05:50I'd be cool with being in the center, and you guys are both much stronger, I think, up top.
05:53Okay.
05:54You know what? I'm a team player, and I'm going to let him do it and give it a shot.
05:56We'll rotate if it doesn't work.
05:57So how are we going to do this?
05:58I think because you're the tallest, I think, and like, you should say we're the same height, right?
06:03Okay.
06:04Dave is tall, physical, Logan is smart, and...
06:07Logan is smart, and I also have plenty of skills.
06:14I think we need to create some kind of consistency and stability in the holders.
06:18I like creative or crafting competitions a little bit more.
06:23I'm just going to say, I'm happy to really hold down the holder.
06:28But I'm so happy that I have a team and teammates who this is in their wheelhouse, so I'm really going to defer to them.
06:35Okay.
06:37Oh.
06:38Not very good, blue team.
06:39Just a little more muscle.
06:40I think the key to this is communication and working well as a team.
06:44Up.
06:45Go up.
06:46Go up.
06:47Oh.
06:48A little bit better.
06:49Oh, God.
06:50That was the worst.
06:51So what are we learning?
06:52We've got to go further.
06:53Oh.
06:54Oh.
06:55Oh.
06:56Oh.
06:57Oh.
06:58Oh.
06:59Oh.
07:00Oh.
07:01Oh.
07:02Oh.
07:03All right.
07:04Maybe I try a different size.
07:05Yeah.
07:06The smaller one.
07:07The smaller gifts are more aerodynamic, right?
07:08If it goes through the...
07:09Don't act like you know what aerodynamic means.
07:12Oh, my God.
07:13Oh, my God.
07:14Who wants to try it?
07:15Gabe, get back there.
07:16I'm not going to...
07:17I'm kind of thinking that...
07:18Let's talk more slinging.
07:19Go, go, go.
07:20Oh, boy.
07:21Oh, my gosh.
07:22This is harder than I thought it was going to be.
07:25I'm just asking for a friend, but who gets all the presents that are on the ground?
07:29All right.
07:30Let me try.
07:31Let me just give it my best.
07:32Be the wings, angel.
07:33Harder.
07:34Up.
07:35Oh.
07:36Nice.
07:37Okay.
07:38Up.
07:39Oh.
07:40Come on.
07:41So close.
07:42The wind is the worst factor in all of this.
07:44We're at about 30 knots, you guys.
07:46It was blowing this way, and now it's like coming this way.
07:49Yeah.
07:50It will take you a present anywhere.
07:51You want to try?
07:52Sure.
07:53I'll try.
07:54I'll try.
07:55You know what?
07:56I came here to take risks, learn, and make big choices.
08:00Oh!
08:01Oh!
08:02Oh!
08:03You just got gifted!
08:04His first son!
08:05His first son!
08:06What the heck is going on here?
08:08And I said I didn't want to do it.
08:10Robby is definitely going to be the best.
08:12He's the best.
08:13He's the best.
08:14He's the best.
08:15He's the best.
08:16He's the best.
08:17He's the best.
08:18He's the best.
08:19He's the best.
08:20Robby is definitely our gunslinger now.
08:22Here we go.
08:23Oh!
08:24Red team!
08:25Rustin's having zero success with the slingshot.
08:28Oh, man.
08:29Do you want to switch real quick?
08:30Let's try it.
08:31Let's try it.
08:32Give it a try.
08:33There it is.
08:34There it is.
08:35There it is.
08:36Oh!
08:37So close, Drake.
08:38There we go.
08:40Yeah!
08:41It feels so good to get that first point on the board.
08:44Things are starting to turn around.
08:45Whatever you just did.
08:46Whatever you just did.
08:47We're sticking with Drake.
08:48He's got the flow down.
08:49We don't want to mess that up.
08:51It's now one-to-one.
08:52The red and blue teams are tied, and green has yet to land a present.
08:56Robby the lobby.
08:57Keep going.
08:58He's got this technique where he lobs it.
09:00Yep.
09:01Get in there!
09:02Get in there!
09:03So we gave him the nickname Robby the lobby.
09:05You got this.
09:06Oh!
09:07Oh!
09:08Oh!
09:09Oh!
09:10Now the blue team's got two points.
09:11They are in first place.
09:13Dude, you are athletic.
09:14Where did this come from?
09:15Yo, you're the guy!
09:17Alright, I got this one.
09:18Angel, we got nothing in yet for the green team.
09:21Angel, you got this.
09:23Melissa, this is for you, honey.
09:25This is for me!
09:26This is for you, Melissa.
09:27Oh!
09:28Yeah!
09:29It's such a great feeling to do something right.
09:32Do it again, baby!
09:33Do it again!
09:34There's one minute left.
09:35Blue has two, green has one, and red has one.
09:38Put some sting in your sling!
09:40Oh!
09:41Oh!
09:42Oh!
09:43Alright.
09:44Get in there!
09:45Oh!
09:46Oh!
09:47Oh!
09:48Oh!
09:49Oh!
09:50Oh!
09:51Oh!
09:52Oh!
09:53Oh!
09:54Oh!
09:55Oh!
09:56We have two for blue, two for green, one for red.
09:59There it is!
10:00Oh!
10:01Oh!
10:02It bounced out!
10:03Did it fall out?
10:04It bounced out?
10:05It doesn't count.
10:06It needs to stay in.
10:07It's okay.
10:08It's okay.
10:09We got it.
10:10I need all the spiritual energy I could get.
10:14Ten seconds left!
10:15Ten!
10:16Five!
10:17Eight!
10:18Seven!
10:19Six!
10:20Victory!
10:21One!
10:22Four!
10:23Three!
10:24Two!
10:25One!
10:26Oh my God!
10:27He did it!
10:28He did it!
10:29Oh!
10:30Oh!
10:31Oh!
10:32Oh!
10:33Oh!
10:34Oh!
10:35Robbie the Lobby is the king.
10:38Wow!
10:39At the buzzer!
10:40He had no confidence going into this.
10:42Maybe I need to take note a little bit.
10:44I could be more like that.
10:45What do you want?
10:46What do you want?
10:47I don't think I've ever felt like this.
10:49Because in high school, I never really fit in with the people that were playing sports.
10:53What an exciting festive face-off!
10:56I know!
10:57I will never forget this moment for the rest of my life.
11:00I feel accepted by these guys.
11:03I feel like a part of the team.
11:04It means more to me than these guys will ever know.
11:08Congratulations, Blue Team!
11:11Craig, Robbie, and Gabe, you have won an advantage going into the Star Quality Challenge,
11:18which will be revealed later.
11:21This just feels so good to get a win.
11:23I needed this so bad.
11:25Guys, you did the elves' work today and deserve to put your feet up and rest.
11:30We'll see you at the next Star Quality Challenge.
11:33Oh, dude.
11:35Coming up...
11:36There's strategy here.
11:37You guys have a lot of power with this advantage.
11:39Oh!
11:40That's unfair.
11:41We're actually going to suspend them 15 feet in the air by a crane.
11:46Upside down!
11:55I don't know if I should believe you, man.
11:58You said you don't play sports.
12:00You said you never skied.
12:02You never done this.
12:04And look at you, man.
12:05Technically, we almost won.
12:08We almost won!
12:09That's true!
12:10That one bounced out, man.
12:13Robbie made his first shot.
12:14Yeah.
12:15No, you didn't!
12:16Look at him!
12:17Robbie made his first shot and the game winner.
12:19Oh, man.
12:20Great job.
12:21Robbie did lobby for the win.
12:22Yeah.
12:23You did it, man.
12:24Nothing without the team, though.
12:25Team works.
12:26You know, it makes the dream work.
12:27The best part is we have an advantage going into the Star Quality Challenge.
12:31Oh, yeah.
12:32I like advantages.
12:33They're nice.
12:34Hopefully, with this advantage that we got, I can do something with it.
12:37I'm ready.
12:38I'm ready.
12:39We're gonna kill it.
12:43Let's go!
12:44Star Challenge time!
12:45Let's go!
12:46Jonathan!
12:47Hey, boys!
12:48Come on over here!
12:51I was in the bottom for the last Star Quality Challenge.
12:53But I've always been a pretty big optimist.
12:55I believe that I am Hallmark's leading man material.
12:58I just really need to find a way to just channel that main character energy.
13:03Earlier, we asked you to work in a team in a fast-paced gift grab.
13:07And now, we want you to take your time and show us your individuality, charisma, and heart in one single frame.
13:17What?
13:18Oh!
13:19As a Hallmark leading man, taking photos is an essential part of our job.
13:23Luckily, I have a modeling background and experience.
13:26I do this professionally, so I'm feeling good about that.
13:28In this Star Quality Challenge, we are taking a traditional photo shoot to the next level.
13:35What?
13:36Each of you will be photographed playing one of Santa's reindeer.
13:41Oh, my God!
13:43OMG!
13:44I have to be a reindeer.
13:47That is wild!
13:48This isn't just modeling.
13:49We want you to lose yourself in the character.
13:53We're looking for you to translate your character in stills.
13:57Does your reindeer persona come through in the photo?
13:59Can you adapt to surprise elements and still maintain that leading man energy?
14:05Don't panic, because we are setting you up for success.
14:09We have celebrity photographers Wes and Alex here to capture you.
14:14All right!
14:16Having a good photographer is going to help so much because they know how to get the right angles.
14:20They know how to get the lighting down, and that's going to help us look so much better on camera.
14:23You'll all be getting 10 frames to capture the winning photos.
14:27Gabe, Robbie, and Craig, because you won the festive face-off, you three will get first pick at which reindeer you want to play.
14:34Go choose your reindeer.
14:35Okay.
14:36This is a great advantage because I can pick any reindeer I want with any personality.
14:40Gabe, which reindeer are you going to be?
14:42I'm going to be Rudy.
14:43Okay?
14:44Okay.
14:45Rudy is the beloved underdog turned hero.
14:47All right, I like it.
14:48It's perfect for how this competition has been going for me.
14:51I started off not confident at all.
14:54I was the underdog, and now I can come up on top.
14:58Craig, who are you going to be?
14:59Comet, the firecracker of the crew.
15:02That's the perfect choice for you.
15:05Hey, who are you going to be?
15:06Dancer.
15:07Yep.
15:08Dancer is the reindeer who turns flight into art.
15:11Ooh.
15:12Love that.
15:13Now, guys, there's a twist.
15:15We want you to read through the rest of the reindeer, and you're going to assign them to the hunks.
15:23We don't even get the pick.
15:24That's unfair.
15:25There's strategy here.
15:26You guys have a lot of power with this advantage.
15:28Let's look at these.
15:29We should not give Angel Cupid.
15:31We should not.
15:32We decide to give certain people the opposite of what we think they are.
15:37We have decided to give Cupid to Drake.
15:43Ooh.
15:44All right.
15:45All right.
15:46Drake is single, so maybe he doesn't know all that much about love.
15:49The hype man.
15:50So who's not the hype man?
15:51Should we make Marcus the hype man?
15:52Yeah.
15:53We'll make Marcus the hype man.
15:54We assigned Dasher to Marcus.
15:57Ooh.
15:58Dasher.
15:59Prancer doesn't just fly.
16:01He performs.
16:02He doesn't enter a scene.
16:03He arrives.
16:04We should give that one to Logan to really challenge him.
16:07Okay, cool.
16:08And Prancer goes to Logan.
16:11Logan!
16:12Prancer doesn't just fly.
16:14He performs.
16:15Hey!
16:16I'm just excited to break out of my shell and be able to showcase to the judges what makes me kind of stand out.
16:23Donner is the silent strength holding the sleigh team.
16:25What do you think?
16:26Yeah.
16:27So we should give that one to Rustin.
16:28The silent one.
16:29Oh, yeah.
16:30Yeah.
16:31Rustin.
16:32Donner.
16:33There's only two reindeer left.
16:34Blitzen and Vixen.
16:35Vixen is the heartthrob of the herd.
16:37I think Davey is the heartthrob.
16:38Do you think Davey is the heartthrob?
16:39So you'll give that one to Angel.
16:41All right.
16:42We have Vixen.
16:43Angel.
16:44Vixen is the heartthrob of the herd.
16:47He entices.
16:48And I think that that fits you perfectly, Angel, because you are...
16:53Oh!
16:54But you are the heartthrob.
16:56Blitzen is going to Davey.
16:59All right.
17:00Blitzen lives for the thrill and zips through the sky like he's got lightning in his veins.
17:05I like this for me.
17:07We like that!
17:08Before you prance off to get into costume, our very special guest judge is a hallmark leading lady staple.
17:14An actor, director, and producer, the one and only Heather Hemmonds!
17:19Wow!
17:22She is just so beautiful.
17:24I can't wait for her to give me all the constructive criticism.
17:28She's hard on the eyes, I know.
17:30Yeah.
17:31Hi, Heather.
17:32Hi.
17:33They're rough on the eyes as well.
17:35Do you have any advice for them?
17:36So I want to see you guys really bring everything that you have today.
17:39It's not just about modeling.
17:40You can't just have the blank face.
17:42You have to tell the story through your eyes.
17:44That is acting.
17:45I want to remind you that it's important that you leave it all on the reindeer run.
17:50Because one of you will be ending the holiday early tonight and going home.
17:56Go and put on your reindeer fits!
17:59Let's go!
18:00Run like reindeer!
18:01Let's go!
18:02So what the guys don't know is that for this photo shoot, we're actually going to suspend
18:15them 15 feet in the air by a crane.
18:19I mean, that's perfect!
18:20Have you always had these antlers on?
18:22Well, if I don't shave every 10 minutes, they grow back.
18:25Let's see what they got for us to put on.
18:28Right.
18:29Do you know how color you are?
18:30Not yet.
18:31Getting some blood flowing is never going to hurt before a shoot.
18:34Getting a little pump going is going to make you feel more loose, more relaxed in the shoot.
18:38But also, you're going to look a little bit better on the cameras.
18:41It can never hurt.
18:42Just trying to catch up to Davey, you know?
18:45It's kind of funny to see all the guys doing their push-ups and using the bands for preparation
18:51for this photo shoot, but I'm just going to kind of stick to my guns and hopefully not
18:56overdo it.
18:57It's a matter of time before that dad bod sets in.
19:00Being a little bit of a smaller figure compared to the other guys, I have put some work in
19:04and I like the idea of being able to show, you know, what the wizard has underneath his robes.
19:10You look ripped, dude.
19:11Yeah.
19:14Robby, you're up first.
19:16Dancer!
19:17Dancer!
19:18Dancer!
19:19Dancer!
19:27Oh boy!
19:28Here comes Dancer!
19:29Come on in!
19:30Come on in!
19:31Are you scared?
19:32You look shocked.
19:33Coming up...
19:34He's in character.
19:35Okay, I like it.
19:36Oh my gosh.
19:37Oh!
19:38And he's upside down!
19:39He's upside down!
19:40He's upside down!
19:41Yes.
19:42No, no, no.
19:43Robby, back here.
19:44Robby, you got to come this way.
19:45Welcome, Robby, to your photo shoot.
19:46Because you're a flying reindeer, your photo shoot will be done 15 feet in the air, hanging
20:00from a harness.
20:01There is a giant crane.
20:05He's 100% serious.
20:06And by the way, we forgot to tell you that these photos are gonna be used in a spotlight
20:13feature for Entertainment Weekly.
20:15Meet the editors, Kristen and Allison.
20:17We're gonna Photoshop all nine of you together, so it'll look like you're all pulling me in
20:21a sleigh.
20:22We only get 10 frames to get the picture, 15 feet up in the air.
20:27Dancer moves like silk on the wind.
20:30All right, let's take him up!
20:31He's a reindeer who tunes flight into art.
20:34So this is our artsy indie film version.
20:37Here he goes!
20:38Yeah!
20:39Oh, it's windy.
20:40All of the ideas that I thought I was gonna do on the ground, you know, like normal photo
20:45shoots, I'm now gonna have to do 15 feet up in the air.
20:48Yes!
20:49Okay, ready?
20:50Yes!
20:51I'm gonna count you down.
20:52Ready?
20:53Okay, we'll start off with some ballet.
20:54Ready?
20:55Three, two, one.
20:56Face?
20:57Face this way.
20:58You're flying that way, remember.
20:59You're flying that way.
21:00Up and over motion.
21:01Just a tad forward, so I feel like you're going that way while you're dancing.
21:05Robby, you're playing a character and you just need to have fun.
21:09So tighten that core and listen to the feedback.
21:13That's why I'm here.
21:14Three, two, one.
21:15Great, great.
21:16Yes, yes, there it is.
21:17Don't cover your face.
21:18Okay!
21:19That's our dancer.
21:20Do something with the scarf.
21:22There it is.
21:23Yes!
21:24Three, two, one, yes!
21:25Don't block your light.
21:26Don't block your light.
21:27Do it on the other side.
21:28That's good.
21:29Yep, yep.
21:30There, there, there, there!
21:31Get it, get it, get it!
21:32Great.
21:33You want me to throw it in a picture?
21:34Yes!
21:35Yes!
21:36Three, two, one.
21:37Oh!
21:38Okay.
21:39There it is, there it is, there it is, there it is, there it is!
21:42We got it!
21:43Good job!
21:44Oh!
21:45Oh my gosh.
21:47Smells handsome.
21:48It smells like Mr. Christmas.
21:50I'm feeling very excited about this photo shoot.
21:55I decided to not do a shirt.
21:56I like the idea of the vest with it being open.
22:01Yes, that's for you!
22:03Come on, Prancer!
22:04What's up, Logan?
22:05Let's start strapping them in.
22:06Prancer, he's a performer.
22:08I feel like I am going to showcase more of that leading man energy.
22:11Yeah, if you're gonna have your vest open, then don't hide the money.
22:15When he came in for the first festive face-off, he was a wizarding Santa.
22:19Beared, covered up, no idea what was living underneath the wizarding robes.
22:25Fly, Prancer!
22:26Fly!
22:27Fly!
22:28Oh, he's jumping!
22:29He's doing a jumping entrance.
22:31He doesn't even need the crane.
22:32Never go out of character.
22:34Oh, this is great.
22:35All right, come on, he's Prancer.
22:37He doesn't show up.
22:38He arrived!
22:39This is his moment.
22:40Look at that.
22:41Yes!
22:42Whip it!
22:43Whip that sash!
22:44Logan, you're killing it!
22:45I mean, Prancer!
22:46Mommy likes!
22:47Yeah, that's great, that's great!
22:48Oh, right there, right there!
22:49Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
22:50Angles!
22:51Angles!
22:52We got it!
22:53He's like a true fantasy hero.
22:54He's so damn charming.
22:55In a very warm way, you know?
22:56It doesn't feel like he's trying so much.
22:57He's kind of just that charming.
22:58Here we go, here we go!
22:59Marcus, Marcus, Marcus!
23:00Oh, oh, I need this!
23:01I can't forget this!
23:02Oh, oh, oh!
23:03All right, it's time to bring the energy.
23:04Have fun, dude!
23:05I gotta be the hype man.
23:06I've been there!
23:07Oh, pis-a-boo!
23:08I've done some really big photo shoots
23:11for huge campaigns, for huge companies.
23:12How we feeling?
23:13How we feeling?
23:14No undershirt.
23:15Yeah, full-out, full-out.
23:16No one's mad about it.
23:17Peek-a-boo!
23:18Peek-a-boo!
23:19Peek-a-boo!
23:20Peek-a-boo!
23:21Peek-a-boo!
23:22Peek-a-boo!
23:23Peek-a-boo!
23:25Peek-a-boo!
23:29Peek-a-boo!
23:31Peek-a-boo!
23:32Peek-a-boo!
23:33Peek-a-boo!
23:34God, I love my job.
23:36Ready to fly, Dasher?
23:38Let's get him.
23:38I'm interested to see how he's going to translate the hype man in real life,
23:42which is so much based on energy and words, to a photo shoot.
23:46Put it behind you.
23:47I want to see your body.
23:48Yeah, that's it.
23:49Three, two, one.
23:51Nice.
23:52Open up that side.
23:53Three, two, one.
23:54Oh!
23:55Oh my gosh!
23:56Ah!
23:57Did you get that one?
23:58Are you okay?
23:59I'm good.
24:00I'm chilling.
24:01I'm good.
24:01Great.
24:02There's a lot.
24:02You got to keep your core steady.
24:04You got to keep your face engaged.
24:07You have to be doing different things with your hands as well.
24:10You got to keep your legs engaged.
24:13Oh!
24:14You have to keep your energy up because I'm the hype man.
24:17Oh, yeah.
24:18This feels good.
24:19This feels good.
24:19Yeah?
24:20Yeah, let's go, bro.
24:22Three, two, one.
24:23Hey, the hype man.
24:25There it is.
24:25There it is.
24:26Three, two, one.
24:26Number one.
24:27Yes!
24:29Look at that smile.
24:30That is a smile.
24:31That's money.
24:32I love that.
24:33All right.
24:34Come on.
24:34That's it.
24:35We got it.
24:36Mark it!
24:36Yeah!
24:37That was a workout.
24:41I am so excited for this one.
24:43This is right in my wheelhouse.
24:45I've been modeling for nine years now, so I am not worried about this challenge.
24:49What do we got going on here?
24:52Drake the baby.
24:53He's the youngest one.
24:54Very sweet.
24:55Very puppy dog.
24:57I feel like you're not going to struggle with this Cupid concept.
25:01Cupid is the heart of the sleigh team.
25:03He doesn't just pull the sleigh.
25:05He pulls heartstrings.
25:06Would you say that's you?
25:07I think that's me.
25:08Do you find that people fall in love with you?
25:10Yeah.
25:10It happens sometimes.
25:11Sometimes.
25:12Okay.
25:12It's hard because every time they turn around, it's my first time seeing them in person,
25:15and then I just get lost in their gorgeous faces.
25:17I'm like, oh.
25:19You ready to fly?
25:20Let's do it.
25:20Let's go, buddy.
25:21Take them up, boys.
25:22I consider myself a charming, romantic, tender guy, so I'm probably going to have to be a
25:26little sexy and stuff, you know, kind of get the girls parts racing.
25:29I kind of like a superhero right now, you know what I mean?
25:31But we really want to see that Cupid character come through, so keep that in mind.
25:35Head to toe, too.
25:36Go for it.
25:37There you go.
25:38Three, two, one.
25:40Just that nice, sweet.
25:41Have a little smile in some of them, your Cupid, your love.
25:44Bend your front leg a little bit on that.
25:46Two, one.
25:46Bend that front knee.
25:48That front knee bend.
25:49Yes.
25:49There we go.
25:51For the camera, you've got to engage your legs, your core, and also have that facial expression
25:55that says Cupid.
25:57Cupid, can we see your arrow?
25:59Bullseye.
26:00Eight, three, two, one.
26:01Move that hand back a little.
26:02Right here?
26:03Yes.
26:04But don't block your face with your hands.
26:06Okay.
26:06The legs are good.
26:07Yes.
26:09I don't want my face to show that struggle.
26:11I need to keep it, you know, the Cupid who's pulling heartstrings and making people fall
26:16in love, and that's definitely not a clenched face that's concentrating too hard on what
26:20your body's doing.
26:20Now look at the camera.
26:22I don't like his hand behind that.
26:24It's weird.
26:24Put that arm in front of the cable.
26:26Yep.
26:26Now take your right arm and do it that way more.
26:29There we go.
26:29Now you're open to camera.
26:31Now look at him.
26:32Yes.
26:32Now be real deliberate.
26:33Look right at the camera when you do it.
26:35He does have the sweetest smile.
26:37Yeah.
26:37And hey, what if you grabbed your opening of the...
26:40Oh, yeah.
26:41Oh, adorable.
26:44That's good.
26:45I'm feeling confident.
26:46I know I didn't get the best shot, but I know for sure I didn't get the worst shot either.
26:50I think I'm going to go for like a kind of like a moody, Nordic, like piratey sort of like
26:58Viking kind of look.
26:59Donner being the strong, silent type, you have to get into character.
27:03I decided to go with antlers because we're reindeers, man.
27:08Hello, Donner.
27:09Oh, he's coming like Donner.
27:11Okay.
27:12Come on.
27:16Donner is silent.
27:18Oh, the strong, silent type.
27:19Yeah.
27:19He's in character.
27:20Okay.
27:20I like it.
27:21I'm bringing this brooding, confident, grounded character into the poses that I'm choosing
27:29and the faces that I'm making.
27:31I need a little bit of smize in it.
27:33Done.
27:33So you're the strong, silent type, but remember, Donner's always the hottest guy in the room
27:37and everyone wants him.
27:38So give me that, okay?
27:39Done.
27:40Isn't it kind of like Greek God vibes I'm getting?
27:43Yes.
27:43I'm hoping that it's really showcasing the finding Mr. Christmas leading man energy.
27:49There it is.
27:50Three, two, one.
27:50Yes.
27:51There it is, Rustin.
27:52Yes.
27:54Yes.
27:55Here you go, gorgeous.
27:56Come on.
27:58Oh.
27:58That's just for you.
27:59I got two.
28:01I get Vixen.
28:02He's the heartthrob of the herd.
28:04Hi, Angel.
28:06He can handle the leather pant.
28:07He's confident, flirtatious.
28:10Hi.
28:10Hi.
28:11Charismatic, romantic.
28:13You want to be going this way, but you're playing to the camera, but you're going up versus,
28:19right?
28:19Okay.
28:19And the legs doesn't matter.
28:20It's full body, so head to toe.
28:23Fly, Angel, fly.
28:25You can do it.
28:26Angel.
28:26Yes.
28:29Yes.
28:30I'm Vixen.
28:31Ready?
28:31Three, two, one.
28:32I want it to feel like you're flying that way.
28:35Now smolder right down the barrel of the lens.
28:37Oh, that's it.
28:38Oh, that's it.
28:38Yes.
28:38That's it.
28:39Don't forget your legs.
28:40Your legs are just hanging.
28:41Strong legs.
28:42Strong legs.
28:43There it is.
28:44Yep, exactly.
28:45Use your space.
28:46Bend your other leg.
28:47Yeah, point those toes.
28:48Yeah, three, two, one.
28:50Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:51Put me anywhere, coach.
28:53Nailed it.
28:54He has resting smolder face, we've decided.
28:56He can't help but not smolder.
28:58RSF, resting smolder face.
29:01All right, let's go, Comet.
29:03Let's go.
29:04Woo!
29:04Let's go.
29:06Coming in like a firecracker.
29:07Finally!
29:08Woo!
29:11That's my name.
29:12So you seem like you already got the vibe for Comet.
29:14Yeah, yeah.
29:16I have one thing.
29:17Can I get a water bottle, please?
29:18Okay.
29:19You want water bottles?
29:21Yes.
29:21We got them!
29:22Oh, they have water bottles?
29:23Yeah, okay.
29:24Everyone's seen the magazines and the guy has the wet hair falling in front of his face.
29:29Okay, yeah.
29:29This is a bold choice.
29:30I'm here for it.
29:31Just go for it.
29:32All right, here you are.
29:33Oh, my gosh, yep.
29:35More.
29:35More, all right.
29:36That's the vibe.
29:37I'm going for it.
29:38Suave and cool.
29:40All right.
29:40Whoa.
29:41Hey, yo.
29:42Oh, my gosh.
29:45He's shaking it up.
29:46Oh, yeah!
29:48And he's upside down.
29:49He's upside down.
29:50He's upside down.
29:51All right, now come back up.
29:53Up, up, up.
30:05Craig, you okay?
30:06I'm up there dangling like a carrot in front of a horse.
30:11Hold on.
30:11You got this, Craig.
30:12You got this.
30:12It's hard to stay upright, and it's really kind of embarrassing.
30:16Oh, my God.
30:18So I engage my core.
30:20I get upright.
30:21There you go.
30:21There you go, buddy.
30:22There you go.
30:23Yeah!
30:23Oh, we don't have many opportunities here.
30:27They're only taking a few photos.
30:29There it is.
30:31I love that.
30:32I love it.
30:36Now face.
30:37Yes!
30:38Oh, that's great.
30:39This is all very entertaining, but I still don't know if I have seen the shot yet.
30:43You're right.
30:44Give us leading man now.
30:45Leading man!
30:46Leading man!
30:46You were doing the crazy poses, but don't forget your face.
30:49I'm working on it.
30:51Let's see that face and that smile.
30:53Oh, smile?
30:54Yeah, I want it.
30:54Okay.
30:55Oh, that's great.
30:55That's great.
30:56Get that with the win.
30:57Get that with the win.
30:57There we go.
31:00People like to laugh.
31:01This is Hallmark.
31:02I wanted to incorporate comedy.
31:05What do you think, boys?
31:06I mean, that was unpredictable.
31:07Do you think we have it?
31:08Yeah.
31:09Blitzen!
31:10I've been modeling 10 years now, so I'm hoping to really apply some of that set experience
31:15in photography with this challenge in particular.
31:18Ready to get harnessed up?
31:19Yeah.
31:19Let's go.
31:20Right here, buddy.
31:20Cool.
31:21Blitzen is electricity with antlers.
31:23He lives for the thrill, feeds off applause, and zips through the sky like he's got lightning
31:28and his veins.
31:29Look at that.
31:31Look at that.
31:31Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka-ka.
31:32You can grate a wheel of Parmesan on that.
31:36Well, I'm in there.
31:38I think it's tight.
31:39That's not going anywhere.
31:40When I first saw his abs, I was like, ah, like, my husband has a t-shirt like that.
31:45Here we go!
31:46Wow.
31:46Let's go, Blitzen!
31:48Three, two, and one.
31:51Oh, I love it.
31:52Yeah.
31:52Oh, let's get it.
31:53You're right.
31:54Yeah.
31:54That just inhibits you.
31:57It gets in the way.
31:58It gets in the way.
31:58We've got it unencumbered.
32:00Yeah.
32:00I have a couple of cool ideas.
32:02Give me energy in that face like I'm Blitzen.
32:04Ha!
32:04Some athletic moves that are airborne.
32:07I want to channel kind of like a running or sprinting through the air type of positioning
32:12here with my character.
32:14Davey Hemsworth.
32:14Three, two, one.
32:16There it is.
32:17There's so much instability.
32:19As much as I'm struggling with this harness.
32:20Three, two, and one.
32:22I don't want it to show in my photos or show in my face.
32:25He literally just goes straight into pose, like resets, pose.
32:28He's a pro.
32:29The key with this one, because it's a full body shot, is making the arms and legs look
32:33cohesive in an environment that's very unpredictable.
32:37That's it.
32:37Oh!
32:37That's a good chance.
32:39And then everybody fainted.
32:41Rudy reporting for duty.
32:43Rudy reporting for duty.
32:45I love it.
32:46Boys, let's strap them in.
32:48Rudy went from being the underdog to the hero.
32:52The underdog or the under reindeer?
32:53Hey.
32:54So, Rudy resonates with me.
32:57I feel like I can embody this character more than anyone else.
33:00We also have a lantern here.
33:02Your choice, if you would like a prop up there or if you want to just ride solo.
33:06I do want to lead the way.
33:08Fly, Rudy!
33:09Uh-oh.
33:10Oh, handler's down!
33:11Are you sure you want that lantern?
33:13Yep.
33:13All right.
33:14He wants it.
33:14He wants it.
33:15In my modeling experience, it actually helps to have a prop to kind of create a story.
33:22Three, two, one.
33:23Got to get a couple smiling ones.
33:24There it is.
33:25That's it!
33:26That's it!
33:27Okay.
33:28First shot out the gate.
33:29I say we got it.
33:30Three, two, one.
33:32That's right.
33:33That's powerful.
33:35Powerful.
33:35Very good.
33:36You're confident.
33:36You're Rudy.
33:37Give me another pose.
33:38Give me another pose.
33:39You're a hero.
33:39Yeah!
33:41He's got that Rudy riz, you know?
33:42He's got it.
33:42He definitely has it.
33:44Okay, yeah.
33:44Open it up.
33:45There it is.
33:46There it is.
33:47Yes!
33:48Yes!
33:49Very good.
33:49That's it!
33:50The confidence level that he has shown today, it's light and day difference from, like,
33:55day one.
33:55So I love seeing it.
33:56It's giving Rudy.
33:57It's giving Rudy energy.
33:58Three, two, one.
34:00Yes!
34:01How did it feel?
34:02It felt amazing.
34:03You looked incredible up there.
34:04You looked very confident.
34:05I'm glad you noticed that.
34:06I feel really good about this challenge, and I was confident, and that's all I can ask of
34:12myself.
34:13Maybe that's kind of the it factor that we're looking for.
34:16That we're looking for, yeah.
34:17Could be.
34:17Yeah, could be.
34:18That's a nice quality to have.
34:19Yeah.
34:19It is, it's really disheartening to think about the fact that in a couple hours, someone else
34:25is going home.
34:26Yeah.
34:27All right, ladies, we have to make some tough decisions here today.
34:30Let's talk about Robbie first.
34:32Our dancer.
34:34Robbie had the advantage.
34:35He chose wisely.
34:36I agree.
34:37And his photos looked amazing.
34:39From my experience in modeling, sometimes you feel like you did great, and it ends up
34:42turning out bad.
34:43And sometimes you think you did bad, and it turns out great.
34:44So I think that really, we're just going to have to see what the judges say.
34:47Drake got Cupid, which to me almost seems like the one reindeer that you know exactly who
34:53that is.
34:54Drake needed a lot of direction from me, and although he took the direction, I think
34:59he's got a lot to learn.
35:00I think he's got a lot to learn.
35:02He's the youngest.
35:02Let's remember, like, he is the youngest one in this group.
35:04He's the baby, and that energy kind of is there.
35:07He is a sweetheart, and he comes across very authentic and so genuine.
35:11But what else is there?
35:13Right.
35:14Let's talk about Logan.
35:15He frankly kind of surprised me with the kind of charisma he brought in.
35:19And when Logan walked onto the set, he arrived.
35:21I was impressed with the physicality he was able to bring to Prancer, and I felt like
35:26he did it effortlessly.
35:27Yeah.
35:28I don't think it was that hard of a challenge.
35:32That was a cakewalk.
35:33I think it was pretty fun.
35:34Let's talk about Angel.
35:36He came in as Vixen with the smolder.
35:39He did give good face, but he didn't necessarily serve good body.
35:43Yeah, the energy was all in his face.
35:45It wasn't really, like, flowing.
35:47Davey was blitzing.
35:48I think we had his photo on his second frame.
35:51He's just a very experienced model, obviously.
35:53Yeah.
35:54He was nailing it.
35:55Craig came out as Comet.
35:57I was a little skeptical at first of all the bold choices he was making.
36:01You felt like he was throwing a lot of things up against the wall to see what would stick.
36:04Yes.
36:05Yeah.
36:05Gabriel came out as Rudy.
36:07The first photo he took was amazing.
36:09He seemed very confident and strong, and he seemed to connect with the leadership character
36:15a little more than I thought he would.
36:17Mm-hmm.
36:17Rustin had Donner.
36:19With Rustin, less is more.
36:20He doesn't project.
36:22He's a push.
36:23He just is.
36:24You could tell when he walked in, he already had the character.
36:26He was very focused.
36:28He was giving Greek God.
36:29We were loving it.
36:30It was a great character for him, and he really embodied that.
36:33So, like, as hungry as I am and as excited as I am to learn, I feel like I often take
36:38a lot of really safe choices.
36:40Marcus was Dasher.
36:41The hype man.
36:42And he is the hype man life of the party.
36:44It showed from the second he showed up on set.
36:45He wasn't just pretending to be the hype man.
36:48He was thinking, I'm the hype man.
36:49And that really translated to camera.
36:52Ladies, unfortunately, one of our hunks has to go home.
36:56I hate this part.
36:57I know.
36:58This is going to be one of the toughest decisions we've ever had to make.
37:03Walking into elimination tonight, I hope I did well enough to where I'm not going to
37:11be put in the bottom, but, you know, you never know.
37:14I am not ready to go home.
37:16If I get the chance to stay, I'm done playing it safe.
37:19Hello, gentlemen.
37:20Welcome back to your second elimination, where your destiny as Mr. Christmas is all on the
37:26line.
37:26One of you will be named this week's shining star, and one of you will be headed home for
37:32the holidays.
37:33In the Star Quality Challenge, we asked you to fly into the spotlight on a crane, work
37:39the camera, and embody one of Santa's reindeer.
37:44Heather, how do you think they did today?
37:46I was absolutely floored by the intensity of competitiveness that you all brought today.
37:53But there can only be one shining star.
37:56The winner of the Star Quality Challenge and tonight's shining star is...
38:02Davey, congratulations, buddy.
38:12It feels awesome to get this win, and hopefully the rest of the guys see me as a top competitor
38:18in this competition.
38:19You came out with Greek god-deer energy, communicated with your photographers, and you delivered
38:26great photos.
38:27Awesome.
38:27I did not necessarily expect that, to be honest.
38:30By the time we finished, I was just thinking to myself, I hope we got something.
38:33Oh, we got something.
38:34Yeah, we got something.
38:35Now, the not-so-merry part.
38:40Angel, Drake, and Craig.
38:43You three are at risk of leaving the competition.
38:48Craig, your photos were all over the place.
38:52It just felt a little chaotic during your session.
38:56But you committed to being the firecracker.
38:59And for that reason, Craig, you will stay to shine another day.
39:07You came out with so many ideas.
39:10Just make sure there are things that they can also use.
39:13Angel, Drake, will you please step forward?
39:19I am actually a little shocked that they put me in the bottom.
39:23I thought I did enough to be safe.
39:26Drake, you started off the photo shoot with confidence, but you just couldn't commit to
39:30your character.
39:31We saw more Drake than Cupid.
39:34Angel, you came with a face, but the body wasn't in sync.
39:39Angel and Drake, one of you will be going home tonight.
39:44Is this it?
39:45I'm just really hoping that they saw something in me enough to keep me in the house.
39:51There's a pit in my stomach that I can't get rid of right now.
39:54Just give me one more chance.
39:55Unfortunately, Drake, that's a wrap.
40:05It's time to take your stocking down.
40:07You're going home for the holidays.
40:09You remind me so much of myself when I was your age.
40:17Like, so much.
40:19I had all this kinetic energy, and I had so much love to give the world, and all I had
40:25to do was learn how to take that and harness it and make that my superpower.
40:28And I think you're going to find that.
40:31That means a lot.
40:32We wish you nothing but the best, and we can't wait to see what you do next.
40:39I've been modeling for so long.
40:40It's something I thought I would have just knocked right out of the park.
40:43I also always see the silver lining of everything.
40:46I'm just so proud of myself in so many ways.
40:49That ski scene was the first time I've ever actually read lines on camera.
40:53I won't let this be the end of my acting journey.
40:55I'm going to get back to the grind.
40:57I'm going to take a lot more classes, and I'm really going to give this thing a full shot.
