00:00.
00:07Previously on Finding Mr. Christmas.
00:10Say Christmas!
00:12Christmas!
00:13Seven holiday hunks were still in the running
00:15for a leading role in a Hallmark movie.
00:17I'm gonna need a volunteer.
00:19No, Melissa, you can't volunteer.
00:21In the festive face-off, it was Wipeout City.
00:25No!
00:28Then, in the star quality challenge,
00:30they strutted their stuff to charm Hallmark superfans.
00:33I'm gonna sing a song for you all.
00:35Aww.
00:37And answer some really tough questions.
00:40What's one thing that you would like to redo?
00:43My mom had a stroke and never woke up,
00:46and so I never got that chance to say goodbye.
00:48Some shined.
00:49Are you getting warmed up?
00:50I'm getting kinda hot.
00:51Others, not so much.
00:53I, um...
00:55Angel faced a tough decision.
00:57Will you be keeping the immunity for yourself,
00:59or will you be gifting it?
01:01The person that I choose to have this immunity
01:04is Robbie.
01:06Craig and Gabe landed in the bottom.
01:10Gabe, you're going home for the holidays.
01:13Now, just six leading men remain
01:15as the hunt for Mr. Christmas continues.
01:18It's so nice out, isn't it?
01:24I know.
01:25And this view is beautiful.
01:26Yeah.
01:27Sharing your mom's story last night.
01:29Thank you so much for that.
01:30I really appreciate it.
01:31My mom got diagnosed with cancer.
01:34Right before I'm about to come on the show,
01:36it was literally just like a month and a half ago,
01:38and I had to make that decision.
01:40Like, should I come onto the show,
01:41or should I go be there with her?
01:43How did she react to that?
01:45I spoke with her, and she's like,
01:46just go do it.
01:48It's not easy.
01:49It's really hard.
01:50I'm really feeling for him,
01:51and I know that it's a really difficult thing to go through.
01:55I am so sorry about everything that has been going on,
01:59but I'm so happy you shared it because sometimes it's hard
02:03if people don't really kind of understand it
02:05to like talk about it or like open up about it.
02:07We're in different situations,
02:09but I know that like the more that I'm able to talk about it,
02:12it helps me move through it and like find peace with it.
02:16I already knew Robbie was a good guy.
02:18Just being able to connect with him
02:19and find that friendship is amazing.
02:22If you need anything while we're here
02:24or you need to talk about your mom,
02:26please know that like you can do that.
02:28Same to you, you know,
02:30because sometimes even just talking about these memories
02:32can be a lot.
02:33For sure.
02:43How'd you guys sleep last night?
02:45Yesterday was tough,
02:47but I mean overall it's a new day.
02:49I would love to get outside and sweat a little bit,
02:51maybe kind of get my nerves out.
02:52Same.
02:53Start a new day fresh, move around a little bit.
02:55Get in your body, out of your head.
02:57The jitter sound.
02:58Yeah.
02:59Like you on stage.
03:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:01What is one word that y'all are going to like bring into today?
03:06Vulnerability.
03:07You know, I came in kind of just willing to go for it,
03:11and that's all well and good,
03:14but there's a whole other side to it as well
03:16that I need to explore more.
03:18Probably on the opposite end for me, confidence.
03:20I feel like I need more of what you have, you know.
03:22Here.
03:23Take this.
03:24Hey, all right.
03:25I think we probably all could take something from each other.
03:28I'm waiting on some vulnerability here.
03:30Oh, there you go.
03:31There's some vulnerability.
03:32I'll give a little heart to everybody, you know.
03:34Oh!
03:35Did you hear that?
03:36Hey, let's go!
03:38Being in the bottom two, my confidence was a bit shaken.
03:42The other guys are really talented,
03:43and the last couple advantages from the festive face-offs
03:46have been huge.
03:47They're becoming more and more valuable.
03:49I need one, and I need it now.
03:55Oh, my God.
03:56What are we doing in those?
03:58And now, from the Finding Mr. Christmas Marching Band,
04:01please welcome Melissa Peterman.
04:05Oh, yeah.
04:06Oh, wow.
04:14Hey, guys.
04:15Welcome to the Fa La La Lawn.
04:17Let me hear you say it.
04:18Fa La La Lawn.
04:19Fa La La Lawn.
04:21I hope you stretched,
04:22because we're about to have a ball.
04:24Literally.
04:25Today, you will be rolling into the holiday cheer
04:29in giant inflatable ornaments
04:31and bowling down tree-tied treasures
04:33like the hunks that you are.
04:35This challenge is wild.
04:38What are you putting us through, Jonathan Bennett?
04:42Here's how these trees will go down.
04:44In two heats of three,
04:46you'll jump into a giant ornament
04:48and race to knock down six trees as fast as you can.
04:51You'll be timed,
04:52and the fastest person out of the two rounds
04:54will be our winner.
04:56Oh, it's sick.
04:58It's crazy.
04:59Win, and you'll get an advantage
05:01in the next star quality challenge.
05:03Great.
05:04Yeah.
05:05Our first group up, Marcus,
05:06you'll be in red,
05:07looking for the trees with the red ribbon.
05:09Okay.
05:10Craig, you'll be blue,
05:13looking for the trees with the blue ribbon,
05:15and Davey, you're going to be yellow.
05:17Now, remember, the first person
05:19to knock down all their trees wins,
05:22but be careful out there,
05:24because if you knock down someone else's color,
05:26that person gets the point.
05:27Yeah.
05:28Marcus, Craig, and Davey,
05:29go get ready.
05:30The rest of you can watch on the sidelines.
05:32All right.
05:33Let's go, boys.
05:34Let's go.
05:35Gentlemen, step inside your balls.
05:37Oh, my gosh.
05:40This is real.
05:41But I've been thrown into some fires before
05:43and haven't been cooked,
05:44so I'm ready.
05:46I've definitely never been inside
05:48of one of these inflatable balls before.
05:50It makes you automatically feel claustrophobic.
05:53All right, my little hamsters.
05:55On your mark.
05:57Get set.
05:59Go, go, go, go, go, go.
06:02This is not going to be easy.
06:04We can't actually see where the ribbons are at.
06:06They're facing the opposite direction.
06:08It's kind of crazy.
06:09Oh, oh, oh.
06:11Davey just knocked down one of Marcus's trees.
06:14One for Marcus.
06:15He's a giver.
06:16He's the gift that keeps on giving.
06:18I'm going to have to be a little bit
06:19more careful about this.
06:20Go, go, go, go, go, go.
06:22Oh.
06:23Oh.
06:24It is just utter chaos inside this ball.
06:30Davey's got one.
06:31There he goes.
06:32Oh, Marcus got the second one.
06:33Oh, that was aggressive.
06:36Oh, oh, Davey got another one.
06:38Marcus has gotten two of his down.
06:40Davey's gotten two of his down.
06:41I'm trying to figure out what's the quickest way
06:43to run, and I kind of figure it out.
06:46I put my hands at the top, and I'm, like,
06:48using that to keep me balanced almost.
06:50I want to make sure that these things break.
06:53Oh, look at that.
06:55Oh, man.
06:57It works better if you're standing up.
06:59Oh, wow.
07:00Oh, wow.
07:01Craig's got one down.
07:02Oh, here comes Davey.
07:03Oh, Davey.
07:04Watch out of the way.
07:05Oh, all right.
07:06There goes Craig.
07:07That's two for Craig.
07:10Oh, my God.
07:12Oh, my God.
07:13Oh, my God.
07:14Davey has three.
07:15Marcus has four.
07:17Craig gets another tree.
07:20Another one for Marcus.
07:22Four trees for Craig.
07:23Oh, wow.
07:24Oh, my gosh.
07:25It is a tight race.
07:27This is a very exciting day in sports.
07:30They've all got five.
07:31This is Davey's last one.
07:33Woo!
07:34Woo!
07:35Woo!
07:36Woo!
07:37Woo!
07:38Davey wins!
07:39Woo!
07:40Congratulations, Davey.
07:41Good job, buddy.
07:43I won my heat.
07:44Obviously, there's a second heat,
07:45but seeing how far behind Craig and Marcus were
07:47was also encouraging.
07:49He set the bar really high.
07:51Yeah, for sure, man.
07:53Round two.
07:54Angel, you're going to be green.
07:56Robbie, orange.
07:57And Rustin, purple.
07:58I'm really going to have to give it my all.
08:00Hopefully, I can stay safe.
08:02And not get injured.
08:04Davey did it so fast.
08:05And I know in order to beat him,
08:07I need to get a time that's better than his.
08:09Okay.
08:10Three.
08:11Two.
08:12One.
08:13Go!
08:14All right.
08:15Here they go.
08:16They're coming in hot.
08:17They're coming in hot.
08:18Oh, watch out.
08:19Oh!
08:20Angel got one down.
08:22Oh, my gosh.
08:23I could have died.
08:24Oh, my gosh.
08:25But what a way to go.
08:26Angel's moving.
08:27You'll speak at my funeral, won't you?
08:30Phew.
08:31Oh, Rustin's got one.
08:33Like a wrecking ball.
08:34Robbie's got one.
08:36Oh.
08:37Oh, he just knocked down one of Angel's trees.
08:39Angel is in the lead with two.
08:41Watching Heat 1, I was able to figure out my strategy.
08:44The fastest way between two points is a direct line.
08:47I'm going to hit all the trees on the left,
08:49and then I'm going to hit all the trees in the center
08:51and on the right on the way back.
08:53Robbie got another one.
08:56Oh, my gosh.
08:57Angel just knocked his third tree down.
08:59These guys are in it to win it.
09:00I'm going at 100 miles per hour.
09:02I'm going wild.
09:03Full throttle.
09:04Rustin's got another.
09:05Angel is on fire.
09:06Angel has got his fourth one down.
09:08Another point for Robbie.
09:10Angel is in the lead with four,
09:12and Robbie and Rustin are tied with three.
09:15That's four trees for Robbie.
09:17Angel, don't backtrack.
09:18Great, Angel.
09:19No, what are you doing?
09:20Angel, you're going the wrong way.
09:21I didn't know if I was forgetting one tree,
09:23so I slowed down and lose my momentum.
09:24Angel just had to turn around.
09:26Angel, to your right.
09:27Oh, Rustin.
09:28Oh, Rustin's got another one down.
09:30Robbie's got five trees.
09:31He's in the lead.
09:32Go, Robbie.
09:33Finish up.
09:34There's so much chaos.
09:35Oh, Rustin.
09:36Rustin's got another one down.
09:38Robbie's got five trees.
09:39He's in the lead.
09:40Go, Robbie.
09:41Finish up.
09:42There's so much chaos.
09:43Rustin's got another one.
09:44Angel has one more.
09:45I love it.
09:46Jonathan, this isn't going to come true.
09:47Angel has two more trees to get down.
09:48Oh, Robbie got his last tree.
09:49Robbie.
09:50Robbie crossed the finish line first.
09:53Robbie, Rustin, Angel.
09:54I'm here with some really physically fit guys,
09:56but I've kind of learned that I can do anything
09:58and to not count me out.
09:59The fastest way I can do it,
10:00I can do it.
10:01I can do it.
10:02I can do it.
10:03I can do it.
10:04I can do it.
10:05I can do it.
10:06I can do it.
10:07I can do it.
10:08I can do it.
10:09I can do it.
10:10I can do it.
10:11I can do it.
10:12Wow.
10:13The fastest times today were between Davey and Robbie,
10:17but it was literally a matter of seconds.
10:20Wow.
10:21Robbie already has the advantage of a lot of experience.
10:25I feel like I really need this one
10:27going into the next Star Quality Challenge.
10:29The hunk that took down their trees the fastest is...
10:38Davey, congratulations.
10:40Good job, Davey.
10:41Thanks, fellas.
10:42Good job.
10:43Good job, good job, good job.
10:44Davey, how's it feel?
10:45You won a fasted face-up.
10:46Yeah, it feels good, finally.
10:47I haven't had an advantage yet,
10:49so I'm a little bit nervous with what's to come.
10:52Do you want to know what that advantage is now?
10:53Yeah.
10:54Davey, the Star Quality Challenge will be an acting challenge,
10:58and you will be able to sit and watch the other actors perform
11:02with me and Melissa.
11:03That's another crazy one.
11:04That's a huge advantage.
11:06So you'll be hearing the notes we're saying,
11:08the commentary we're saying,
11:10all the things that we're pointing out that are going right,
11:12all the things we're pointing out that are going wrong.
11:14You'll be able to sit there and listen.
11:16I feel good, I guess, that I got so close.
11:20I'm sticking my feather in that cap,
11:22but a feather is not an advantage in the Star Quality Competition.
11:26Coming up, let's run it.
11:28That way we don't waste more time.
11:30Oh!
11:31Brilliant.
11:32Yeah, so originally we were thinking that Rustin took charge.
11:35Who is, like, your guys' leader right now?
11:37I think we've all contributed a significant amount.
11:41Those were off!
11:42They almost feel like they're overacting a little bit.
11:49Touchdown!
11:50How old were you when you joined sports?
11:52T-ball.
11:53So, like, the first time you could sign up for youth sports.
11:55I was such an introvert, and I was so quiet as a kid.
11:59And I was painfully shy.
12:01To and kind of through high school,
12:03and it was sort of sports that had that built-in sense of community
12:06where you automatically have friends.
12:08I felt shy, introverted, all through high school
12:10because I was chubby and then I got in shape,
12:12and I still felt introverted.
12:13I felt like I was fake in shape.
12:15Like, it didn't really feel like it was me yet.
12:17Sports was that outlet.
12:19Yeah.
12:20It kind of forced you to be extroverted.
12:21With every day I feel like I'm growing so much,
12:23I'm getting closer to the other guys.
12:25We help each other out.
12:26We root each other on.
12:27From the moment I could walk,
12:30my parents told me I was always,
12:31I liked playing with balls.
12:32Basketball, baseball, the football, whatever.
12:34A lot of the guys that I was friends with at childhood
12:37stopped playing sports.
12:39And a lot of them, you know, unfortunately,
12:42some of them are gone now.
12:44So sports kept me on the right track.
12:46And, you know, I definitely wouldn't be here.
12:48So, you know, I'm grateful.
12:50Sports is a good way to stay out of trouble as a kid.
12:52I think, for me, it kept me out of trouble, you know?
12:54I played Division I college football.
12:56A big part of that is because of my dad.
12:57He pushed me.
12:58There were lots of times where it was challenging.
13:00I set the bar really high for myself
13:02and I have high standards for myself.
13:04I expect to do well.
13:05And if I don't, I get frustrated.
13:09It seems like we're all coming from just drastically
13:11different circumstances to lead to the same place, you know?
13:13I really feel like we have such a bond.
13:16It's become a brotherhood really quickly.
13:19You know, I appreciate you guys for that.
13:21It's rare and it's special.
13:23I'm going to miss you all as you keep going one by one.
13:30Let's see what kind of advantage Davey gets.
13:32A smoker? A meat smoker?
13:34Wow, I like these looks.
13:38Hey, guys.
13:39Welcome to the Christmas block party.
13:42It's time for your annual neighborhood street snow show.
13:46Wait, what now?
13:47Snow show?
13:48Snow show?
13:49Snow and a social?
13:50I'll take it. I like it.
13:51It's a snow show!
13:52We're having a snow show!
13:53Snow show!
13:55Yeah!
13:56In this star quality challenge,
13:58you guys will work in two teams of three
14:01to perform the same script.
14:03Your challenge is to make the scene uniquely your own.
14:07The scene will be set at a merry lane mingle
14:10with all the chaos that happens when you bring neighbors together.
14:14Each group will have to decide who plays which part
14:17and how you will bring the scene to life.
14:19Through your energy, your choices about what you do,
14:22and the way you interact with each other.
14:24It's all on you.
14:25It's a hunk production.
14:26Okay.
14:27I like that.
14:28I like that.
14:29We're looking for great teamwork.
14:30And while you will work and act together,
14:32we want you to each find a way to shine individually.
14:35And to join the fun, this Hallmark star is an actress and producer
14:39you've seen in movies like Santa's Summit
14:41and Holiday Touchdown, A Chief's Love Story.
14:44Oh!
14:45Is it Hunter?
14:46Is it Hunter?
14:47Is it?
14:48Is it?
14:49It is!
14:50Oh!
14:51Please welcome Hunter King!
14:56Oh my gosh!
14:57I'm so excited!
14:58Hi guys!
14:59Hi!
15:00She is Hallmark royalty.
15:03I'm so excited to be doing this scene with her.
15:06I'm so excited to be here.
15:07I'm a huge fan of the show.
15:08I can't wait to meet all of you.
15:10Thank you for having me.
15:11We're so excited you're here.
15:12So, they're going to be performing a scene in a group with you.
15:16Oh, wow.
15:17You know, group scenes are some of my favorites to film.
15:19They're so much fun.
15:20But there's a fine balance when you're filming them.
15:22You don't want to upstage your co-stars too much the whole time,
15:24but you also don't want to fall into the background.
15:26I, sometimes, I like to steal a scene.
15:29You?
15:30Never!
15:31I know you would never believe it.
15:33But I do like to steal a scene.
15:36But I will say that there's a way to come in and sparkle and make yourself notice without upstaging somebody.
15:41Wow.
15:42Great.
15:43Team one is Robbie, Rustin, and Marcus.
15:47Okay.
15:48Team two is Davey, Angel, and Craig.
15:51All right.
15:52Yeah.
15:53All right.
15:54Let's go.
15:55Let's get it, boys.
15:56Let's get it.
15:57You'll have one hour to meet with your team and decide how you want to play your scene.
15:59Then you will just have ten minutes to fill Hunter in before we call action.
16:03Davey, since you won the festive face-off, you're going to sit with Melissa and I while the other group goes first.
16:09Okay.
16:10Here are your scripts, determine who's playing which part, and think about bringing the scenes to life.
16:15Okay.
16:16All right.
16:17Good luck.
16:18Good luck.
16:19Think about casting.
16:20Yep.
16:21Have fun.
16:22All right.
16:23Let's go in and sit down.
16:24Let them do the work.
16:25Come on.
16:26Let's go in.
16:27We already got the job.
16:28Yeah.
16:29We're already on the show.
16:31Dude, this scene is a comedy.
16:33Of course it's a comedy.
16:34Absolutely.
16:35This is funny.
16:36So the scene we have to perform today is about two brothers at a neighborhood party meeting their sister who's bringing a boyfriend for the first time.
16:44And we have to choose who's going to play who.
16:47Obviously, brothers.
16:50Yeah.
16:51Boyfriend.
16:52Absolutely.
16:53Any preference on man one or two?
16:56Man two right away says dude.
16:58And I feel like you said dude.
16:59Yeah.
17:00And that was like, all right, there you go.
17:02This is a comedy scene.
17:04So in order for that to come through, you have to have fun.
17:07Like, we're brothers.
17:08Yeah.
17:09Like that has to come across.
17:10I think so too.
17:11Yeah.
17:12That brotherly banter, that football slapping your butt, the towel type thing.
17:15Yep.
17:16And then you're this outsider who, you know, let's put you to the test, buddy.
17:21Yeah.
17:22You know, bring it on.
17:23I don't have a sister, but I could imagine.
17:24Growing up, I had an older brother and a younger brother.
17:26We're always giving each other a hard time, joking around.
17:29So I'm hoping to kind of bring that out in this scene.
17:32All right.
17:33Casting.
17:34Is there anyone that drew you guys to anything?
17:37Maybe have us be brothers.
17:38You guys riffing off each other?
17:39Yeah.
17:40Yeah.
17:41Yeah.
17:42So I'll do man one.
17:43And I'll be man two.
17:44I'm jealous that you'll get to be Hunter's boyfriend, but you know what?
17:46You know.
17:47I think you'll be really funny in that part.
17:49Okay.
17:50Okay.
17:51I like it.
17:52I like it.
17:53I think you can take it.
17:54Yeah.
17:55No, I can take it.
17:56I feel like I've done that before and I feel like I can relate to that character.
18:01The brothers do something devious to mess with man three and ruin the picture.
18:04A leading lady snaps the photo.
18:06We have to have the joke of ruining the picture.
18:09Epic.
18:10Oh, absolutely.
18:11Start thinking of ideas like how can we ruin the picture.
18:14So probably like she's had a lot of other boyfriends that she's like brought home in the past.
18:19Yeah.
18:20We're always so judgmental because we care about her.
18:22We love her.
18:23She's our little sister.
18:24Little sister.
18:25Yeah.
18:26So the last few years I've gotten some really incredible opportunities to direct.
18:29Everything from new plays to big musicals.
18:33Where are we wanting to set up the scene, right?
18:35We can probably make a set up here at the table.
18:39Yes.
18:40And I can walk out of the house right there.
18:41I just want to make sure that he's going to be able to hear the lines.
18:45I think that it's incredibly important to be able to throw ideas in the hat and figure this thing out together.
18:52That definitely seems like the best shot, right?
18:55This seems like the most reliable place.
18:56Yeah.
18:57With the sun behind us too.
18:58We could frame it up here and you just walk off over into this corner or something along those lines.
19:02Yeah.
19:03So that if you don't actually have to leave.
19:04My instinct would be that someone needs to be the director.
19:07So I do have experience doing this.
19:09Yeah.
19:10Let's just like go through it and just talk through the story a little bit.
19:12Love it.
19:13We're trying to get all of this down in a very short amount of time.
19:16But we have to all be on the same page.
19:18And that's like, what is happening?
19:20Like what is going on right now?
19:22Coming up.
19:23Yeah.
19:24We're so happy to meet you.
19:26I want them to feel more like brothers.
19:28Yes.
19:29Are you guys going to do the shake really quick too?
19:31Between the two of you?
19:32That was the moment next.
19:33Right.
19:34That's okay.
19:35That's okay.
19:36How did we forget that one?
19:37Team one, your planning time is up.
19:43It's time for your 10 minute rehearsal.
19:45Yeah.
19:46We're looking forward to being able to discuss a lot of the stuff that we've already established
19:50with you and getting your fresh takes on those things.
19:52Yes.
19:53Oh, great.
19:54I'm so excited.
19:55I want to see what you guys have planned.
19:56There's one more layer that we need to add since this is a block party.
19:59Would our background artists please join us?
20:01Come on over here.
20:02Oh, hey.
20:03Wow.
20:04Hello, hello, hello.
20:05Awesome.
20:06Wow.
20:07Come on in, guys.
20:08Good?
20:09Perfect.
20:10Fantastic.
20:11Break a leg.
20:12Good luck.
20:13Thank you, John.
20:14All right, let's do it.
20:15Okay.
20:16So, it's a lot of pressure to, you know, tell Hunter kind of what to do.
20:17Because if she's not comfortable in the scene, then it's going to make everything else fall
20:20apart.
20:21Okay.
20:22So my brothers?
20:23Yes.
20:24My boyfriend?
20:25Okay, all right.
20:26What are we thinking?
20:27Yeah, so originally we were thinking that maybe this was a really good spot, but now that
20:28we have a better layout and understanding of where the background actors are and how the
20:31food is established, it's starting to feel like maybe our primary scene should actually
20:36be up here in front.
20:37A little closer up here.
20:38Okay.
20:39Right?
20:40I feel like I have a really good understanding of how we should be moving into the scene and
20:42out of the scene to make sure that we're getting the shots right for each of us in
20:47order to tell the story.
20:48Let's put these drinks over maybe on this table right here.
20:51This table.
20:52Sure.
20:53Rustin took charge.
20:54You have to think in a team mentality.
20:56You're only as good as your weakest link, so I want everyone to shine and bring it.
21:01Who is like your guys' leader right now?
21:03Is there like one designated leader between you guys?
21:05Is there someone that's kind of the director of the group or is it kind of a group project
21:08right now?
21:09It's like a group, yeah.
21:10Okay.
21:11Contributed a significant amount.
21:12Yeah.
21:13Robbie has ideas that he's bringing to the scene and I have ideas that I'm bringing to the scene.
21:16And it's more about just us navigating how those ideas work together.
21:21You guys want to run this really quick?
21:22Yeah.
21:23Let's give it a shot.
21:24What's up?
21:25Who brings eggs to a Christmas party?
21:28Deviled eggs.
21:29They're classic.
21:30And what did you bring?
21:31Brownies.
21:32Like a normal person.
21:33Okay.
21:34Rustin and I have developed a backstory that I'm kind of like the tech brother who's like
21:38really always working all the time on his phone.
21:40And he's maybe like the music guy who's a little bit more artsy.
21:43And so it's a fun kind of specific dynamic that we've created.
21:47Really great to meet you guys.
21:49Um, yes.
21:50Okay.
21:51So Shane, these are my brothers.
21:52Thanks for letting me crash the neighborhood block party.
21:54Knowing that the boyfriend role doesn't have as much screen time as the brothers' roles do,
21:59I have to make sure that all the screen time that I have really counts.
22:03If you're comfortable with it.
22:04Yeah.
22:05Because it says like a cute, sweet moment.
22:07Like a little like nose thing, like before we walk away.
22:09Sure.
22:10Yeah.
22:11So be like a little.
22:12Little nose.
22:13Cute.
22:14I'll be right back.
22:15And we kind of talked about like a look between the three siblings.
22:17Like we all know these.
22:18We all have a little bit of cookie left in the mouth.
22:20Okay.
22:21In this challenge, it's so important to bring our own creative perspective to this.
22:25And so I'm hoping that our ideas will play out really well.
22:29Great job.
22:30Your time's up.
22:31Go ahead and put your props down.
22:32Get back in place.
22:33It's time to do the scene.
22:34Thank you so much.
22:35We figured it out and everybody was making sure that they were in front of their camera.
22:39I just got to make sure that I bring it in my own way.
22:42Davey, since you won the advantage, you can join Melissa and I at the monitors.
22:45Totally.
22:46It's great to be in the booth with Melissa and Jonathan.
22:49And I'm curious to see what they're going to come up with.
22:51All right.
22:52Places.
22:53Top of the show.
22:54Roll sound.
22:55Roll camera.
22:56Everybody set.
22:59Settle.
23:00And action.
23:04Who brings eggs to a Christmas party?
23:07Deviled eggs.
23:09They're a classic.
23:10What did you bring?
23:11Brownies.
23:12Like a normal person.
23:13Oh, wow.
23:14Oh, it's Leah.
23:16She, uh, she says she's here.
23:20You've never met this guy, right?
23:22Nope, but 20 bucks says he's wearing a polo and khakis.
23:25Nah.
23:26My money's on, uh, distressed jeans.
23:29You're on.
23:30Oh, all right.
23:33Okay.
23:34Do we even want to know what you two are shaking on?
23:37Merry Christmas.
23:38Merry Christmas.
23:39Merry Christmas.
23:40Get over here, sis.
23:41Good to see you.
23:42Play of yourselves.
23:43Okay.
23:44Uh, you guys, this is Shane.
23:46And Shane, these are my brothers.
23:48It's really great to meet you guys.
23:50Yeah, we're so happy to meet you.
23:53I want them to feel more like brothers.
23:56Yes.
23:57So, uh, what do you got there?
23:58Oh, cookies.
23:59I baked them myself.
24:00But you guys should probably know I've never actually used the oven.
24:03So I don't know if they're actually going to turn out very good.
24:05Oh, a risk taker.
24:07I like it.
24:08Hey, I am sure they're going to be delicious.
24:11Maybe you guys should try one before I set them out.
24:15Yeah?
24:16Oh.
24:17Yeah.
24:18Yeah.
24:19Come on, guys.
24:20There we go.
24:21Thanks.
24:22Yeah.
24:24Mmm.
24:25Mmm.
24:26Mmm.
24:27I love how they take their time.
24:28Milk this moment.
24:29Mmm.
24:30Mmm.
24:31Yeah.
24:32Yeah.
24:33These are...
24:35There's something.
24:37There, but like nothing I've tasted before.
24:40There.
24:41So good.
24:42You guys are lying.
24:44They're terrible, aren't they?
24:45Mmm.
24:46Mmm.
24:47Mmm.
24:48Mmm.
24:49Baby, they're...
24:50They're really...
24:51So good.
24:52Yeah.
24:53I'm just...
24:54Well, I'm really thirsty.
24:55Would you mind giving me something to drink?
24:56Sure thing.
24:57Mmm.
24:58I'll be right back.
24:59Mmm.
25:04Those were awful.
25:06Mmm.
25:07What did he put in those?
25:08Rumming alcohol?
25:09Oh, come on, you guys, please.
25:11I said to be nice.
25:12No, see, this is why I never introduce you to anybody.
25:15What do you mean?
25:16We're nice.
25:17We are always kind to your boyfriends.
25:19Really?
25:20Because the last time I brought a guy home for Christmas,
25:22you lured him into the backyard when the sprinkler system was on.
25:25That was an innocent mistake.
25:28How did we know that Mom kept the sprinklers on in the middle of winter?
25:32Yeah.
25:33They almost feel like they're overacting a little bit, these two.
25:35Can we just go easy on them, please?
25:37I figured you guys could use one after having to eat those cookies.
25:42No!
25:43No!
25:44No!
25:45Good, good.
25:46Guys, guys, guys, guys.
25:48It's okay.
25:49I forgot to put the sugar in the cookies.
25:52Oh.
25:53That tracks.
25:54Mmm.
25:55It happens.
25:57It's the thought that counts, babe.
25:59What do you guys say we take a little selfie to commemorate me bombing the first introduction?
26:04All right.
26:05It's a great idea.
26:06I'll take it.
26:07Ready?
26:08Say Merry Christmas!
26:10Merry Christmas!
26:14Have fun with that.
26:15Your brothers look stupid.
26:16Go for it.
26:17Make me laugh.
26:18Funny.
26:19Make me laugh.
26:20And I would like to propose a toast to new friends.
26:24Yeah, dude, don't worry about the cookies, man.
26:26We're happy to have you.
26:28Aw, thanks, guys.
26:29Okay, I'm gonna send our selfie to everyone really quick.
26:35Really?
26:36You guys, that is so immature.
26:38Gosh, really?
26:41Hey, come back here.
26:42Oh, you are nothing but trouble.
26:44Hey, dude.
26:47I think I'm gonna need another one of these.
26:51And cut!
26:53What did you learn?
26:54A lot.
26:55Take your time.
26:56Don't rush.
26:57Don't rush.
26:58Do you have brothers?
26:59Yeah.
27:00Yes.
27:01Do you guys give each other, like...
27:02You and Craig to be the people that we love to hate.
27:04Yeah.
27:05Robbie and Rustin didn't necessarily bring the same kind of brotherly energy that I knew Craig and I were gonna bring.
27:11So I think that'll play to our advantage.
27:13This is gonna be fun.
27:14Yeah, yeah.
27:15Let's go.
27:16Have fun.
27:17Have fun.
27:18Have fun.
27:19You got this.
27:20Coming up, there was some sort of power struggle happening.
27:22Merry Christmas!
27:23Oh, I think it's raining, guys.
27:25One of you out-acted the other just by a hair.
27:35Wow.
27:36That was fast.
27:37That was quick.
27:38The moment when we eat the cookies, like, really take your time.
27:43Taste the cookie.
27:44Yeah, rather than bite nasty.
27:46You gotta taste it first.
27:47With the advantage, I also feel like it comes with a little bit of extra pressure.
27:50There's probably gonna be some expectations to perform.
27:54For the photo, photo bomb it.
27:56However big you can, you know, without, like, disrupting the scene.
27:59So I kind of hashed out some last-minute things to prove to myself and to everybody else that I belong here.
28:05Hi, guys.
28:06Hey, ladies.
28:07Hey, team two.
28:08Davey, your team has ten minutes to rehearse.
28:10Okay.
28:11Perfect.
28:12Good luck.
28:13Now, is there, like, a leader?
28:14Is everyone working together as a team?
28:15Working together as a team.
28:16Yeah.
28:17Okay.
28:18Are you gonna show me what you guys have planned so far?
28:19Yeah.
28:20Okay.
28:21Going into rehearsal, I'm not worried about me.
28:24I wanna make sure my guys are gonna shine.
28:27If they start shining, Hunter and I are gonna shine.
28:30Before we start the rehearsal, we need to find our marks because we have our cameras and your cameras.
28:37And this is the Y.
28:39I helped co-direct this short film.
28:42During that experience, I know how to hit certain marks and make sure the camera can see us.
28:48She'll end right here and here and the way we both have our cameras.
28:51Okay.
28:52So it'll be kind of maybe one of these lines?
28:53Sure.
28:54I'm more or less letting Angel dictate a lot of the situation with this scene.
28:57Take the lead.
28:58Cool.
28:59Let's run it.
29:00That way we don't waste more time.
29:01Okay, cool.
29:02And I feel good about us.
29:03Ready?
29:04Yep.
29:05We want to immediately establish the fact that we are brothers.
29:08So we decided to improv a couple lines at the very top of the scene.
29:12Nice outfit, man.
29:13Did mom dress you up in that?
29:14Yeah, probably.
29:15You got a blazer, you running for office or what's going on?
29:18Watch the camera.
29:19What's going on?
29:20Craig and Davey, if you don't mind.
29:22Go ahead.
29:23Do your scene to your cameras, set this up and find a moment that brings you back here.
29:29Yeah, yeah.
29:30Looking at the space so then when we come in, you don't block our cameras.
29:33Yeah.
29:34You have to find your camera so it can see the faces.
29:38I'm starting to sweat.
29:39Not because of the weather, but because of how this is going to turn out.
29:44Nice outfit, man.
29:45Did mom dress you up in that?
29:46Yeah.
29:47Probably.
29:48There is a lot happening here.
29:50It's a group ensemble, a bunch of dialogue.
29:52Are you guys going to do the shake really quick too?
29:54Between the two of you?
29:55That was the moment.
29:56Right.
29:57That's okay.
29:58Because I got to reference your shake.
30:00How did we forget that one?
30:01I'm just hoping that I can latch on and do the best I can.
30:04And Shane, these are my brothers.
30:06Shane.
30:07Hey Shane.
30:08What's going on, Shane?
30:09It's great to meet you guys.
30:10What do you got there?
30:11Cookies.
30:12I baked them myself.
30:13The success of a scene isn't just about one person, it's about all of us.
30:17So Craig and I are kind of trying to lean into the playful brother act without being overly obnoxious.
30:23Everybody say Merry Christmas.
30:25Merry Christmas.
30:26It finally started to come together.
30:29You guys are so immature.
30:31I guess I'm going to need another one of these.
30:34Here we go.
30:35Let's do it.
30:36Now we have to kind of bring this thing to life.
30:38I'm hoping we don't commit the same mistakes.
30:41And action.
30:43Hey dude, really loving that outfit.
30:45Didn't mom dress you up in that?
30:46Nope.
30:47Dressed myself.
30:48What's up with the blaze?
30:49Are you in your eggs running for office?
30:50I mean, who brings eggs to a Christmas party?
30:53Deviled eggs.
30:54Literally classic.
30:55What do you got, brownies?
30:56Yeah.
30:57I got brownies like a normal person.
31:00Whatever.
31:01Oh, it's Leah.
31:02Huh.
31:03She said they're here.
31:04Hey, have you actually met this guy?
31:06No.
31:07Uh, 20 bucks though says he's a polo khakis kind of guy.
31:12My money's on distressed jeans.
31:13Yeah?
31:14You're on.
31:15Oh, there they are.
31:16Oh, here.
31:17Hey.
31:18Do I even want to know what you two are shaking on?
31:19No, you don't.
31:20No.
31:21Okay, please behave.
31:22Yeah, yeah.
31:23You guys, this is Shane.
31:24Oh, Shane.
31:25Shane, these are my brothers.
31:26Hey guys.
31:27Shane, what's going on?
31:28Hey Shane.
31:29How are you?
31:30It was really great to meet you guys.
31:31What do you got there?
31:32Some cookies?
31:33Cookies.
31:34Yeah, looks like it.
31:35All right.
31:36I've never actually used my oven before, so...
31:38I'm...
31:41Sure.
31:42Why not?
31:43Thanks.
31:44Let me know what you think.
31:45Hmm.
31:47Wow.
31:49Mmm, that's...
31:52That's something.
31:53That's so good.
31:55Craig is so good.
31:56I'm a little thirsty.
31:57Would you mind getting me something to drink?
31:59Sure thing, baby.
32:00Okay.
32:03Oh!
32:05Davey is coming alive.
32:06It literally tastes like rubbing alcohol.
32:08I was nasty.
32:09You guys, no, come on.
32:10I said you had to be nice.
32:12See, this is why I never introduce you to anybody.
32:14We are nice.
32:15Really?
32:16Because the last guy that I brought home for Christmas, you lured him outside in the backyard
32:20when the sprinkler system was on.
32:22Whoa, that was an innocent mistake.
32:24I mean, how were we supposed to know that mom puts the sprinklers on in the winter?
32:27Who does that?
32:28Yeah.
32:29Okay, well look, I really like him, so just...
32:30All right, all right, all right, all right.
32:31I figured everyone needed one after having to eat those cookies.
32:34Aw.
32:35I made an honest mistake.
32:36I forgot to put the sugar in.
32:38Turn.
32:39All right, it's an honest scenario.
32:40Just, thanks.
32:41What do you say if we fish these cookies and the four of us take a selfie to commemorate
32:48me totally bombing our first introduction?
32:51Let's go for it.
32:52Yeah.
32:53Yeah.
32:54Go on that side.
32:55Go on that side.
32:56Go on that side.
32:57Go on that side.
32:58All right, everyone say Merry Christmas!
32:59Merry Christmas!
33:00Oh, I think it's raining, guys.
33:01Oh.
33:02Oh.
33:03He poured the drink on his head.
33:05Brilliant, Davey.
33:06Don't worry about the cookie thing.
33:07We're...
33:08Yeah.
33:09We're glad you're here.
33:10Thank you, guys.
33:11You really are the best.
33:13Hey, okay, I'm gonna send the selfie to everybody real quick.
33:16Yeah.
33:17Come on, you guys.
33:18That is so immature.
33:20Really?
33:21Hey, get back here.
33:23Hey.
33:25I think I'm gonna need another one of these.
33:28Nice.
33:29And cut!
33:30Dude.
33:33There they are.
33:34Hey, guys.
33:35How you feeling?
33:36How'd it go?
33:37How'd it go?
33:38Oh, that's a confident looking guy right there.
33:40I know, I know.
33:41How you guys feeling?
33:42Hey, hey, hey.
33:43Bro, I always feel confident after.
33:45Davey's advantage really helped us out, and I think we crushed that scene.
33:49But Robbie, Rustin, and Marcus, they're really strong.
33:51So, I mean, this is a coin toss.
33:54As far as, like, that selfie moment, I was pretending to spill my drink on Angel,
33:58and I actually, like, spilled a little bit of it.
34:00After we were done with it, I was like, I hope my hair is okay.
34:03He was a great sport about that.
34:06Let's talk about team one.
34:07Robbie, Rustin, and Marcus.
34:09I felt like Marcus did a really good job playing that boyfriend role
34:12because the other two brought a lot of energy and a lot of strong choices.
34:16I do wish Marcus maybe brought up his energy just a little bit,
34:20like you said in that nervous.
34:21Yeah, matched the room.
34:22Matched the room a little bit.
34:23Robbie did feel like he was overacting.
34:25I wanted maybe to see that more, um, I actually love my sister.
34:30A little bit of a real moment, like, you know what?
34:33We love you.
34:34A little bit more of that.
34:35Yeah.
34:36Agreed.
34:37This was the first time where Rustin and Robbie, I felt, were disconnected in a scene.
34:42And I think it's because they had a little bit of a challenge with the leadership of this scene.
34:47It just felt like there was some sort of power struggle happening.
34:51Let's talk about team two.
34:53Davey, Craig, and Angel.
34:56There was a few times I thought that Davey could have reacted more and stayed in it and filled the space.
35:01Yeah.
35:02Because Craig was giving him so much comedy, so much gold.
35:05He could have reacted to the other actors more in that scene.
35:09Agreed.
35:10Agreed.
35:11Craig came in hot.
35:12I think he's so funny.
35:13And you know I'm a sucker for a funny guy.
35:15Uh-huh.
35:16The faces he made.
35:17The choices he made.
35:18Did mom pick that out?
35:19That was really smart.
35:20I love that.
35:21It established their relationship immediately.
35:22He felt super present.
35:23I felt like that the whole time from him.
35:25I really enjoyed his performance.
35:27And what about Angel?
35:28He was a great team player.
35:30Yeah.
35:31The one thing with Angel is I think sometimes he can lose a little bit of the momentum in the scene.
35:39Uh-huh.
35:40We have a big decision to make.
35:42But unfortunately, one of our guys has to go home.
35:45No.
35:46Good luck with that, Hunter.
35:48Good luck, Hunter.
35:49We're leaving this decision to you.
35:51No, you stay right here.
35:52You stay right here.
35:53Bye-bye now.
35:54Bye-bye.
35:55Yeah, let's go.
35:56Bye-bye.
35:57Bye, Hunter.
35:58Bye.
35:59I think we get rid of Jonathan, right?
36:02No?
36:03Okay.
36:04Walking into each elimination now, there's no more feeling safe.
36:17There's no more feeling confident.
36:18We're getting down to the nitty gritty, and anyone could go at any time.
36:22Hello, gentlemen.
36:23One of you will be named this week's shining star, and one of you will be headed home for
36:29the holidays.
36:30In today's star quality challenge, we asked you to work as a team, help each other shine,
36:36bring your own twist to the script, and show us your star quality.
36:40All while staying connected to each other and your incredible co-star Hunter King.
36:45Hunter, how do you think the guys did?
36:47I think they all did a really great job.
36:49It was so much fun getting to work with them and watch them grow as actors.
36:53There can only be one shining star tonight.
36:57And that person was a team player, used their gift of acting to elevate their co-stars, and
37:04the person that added comedy along with believability when it came to portraying brothers.
37:10The winner of the star quality challenge and tonight's shining star is Craig.
37:22Congratulations.
37:23Oh, dear.
37:24Congrats.
37:25Congrats for that cookie toss.
37:27Well done.
37:29I think you really shined in that scene, and you had great instincts.
37:35I thought I was gone.
37:39I've been doing this a long time now.
37:44You audition, and you audition, and you audition, and you audition, and you audition.
37:51It gets exhausting.
37:52Yeah.
37:53Well, congratulations.
37:54You were very, very funny in this scene.
37:59Angel and Davey, you're safe.
38:04Rustin, Marcus, Robbie.
38:08One of you will be going home.
38:11Yeah.
38:12Okay.
38:13Robbie, how do you feel this challenge was for you today?
38:15Right at the beginning, I thought that there maybe should be one voice.
38:20But then I thought, actually for this, it was really nice to work collaboratively with my team, for us all to have a say.
38:28Rustin, tell me about the part you played in your team.
38:31I felt that Robbie and I were really in sync.
38:34There was a lot of overlap that made it feel like we were both really, like, on the same page.
38:38I felt like Marcus was such a team player, and he had some great collaborative recommendations.
38:43And I almost felt like watching you guys interact with each other gave me that thing to act off of.
38:50Okay.
38:51Yeah.
38:52That makes sense.
38:55Rustin, Robbie, will you please step down?
39:01In today's challenge, you both were at fault for competing with each other when we asked you to work as a team.
39:10That leaves us to judge you purely on your acting in the scene today.
39:15And one of you out-acted the other just by a hair.
39:22One of you will be going home right now.
39:26I'm not ready to go home.
39:28I want to stay here.
39:30My palms are sweaty.
39:31I'm so close to having a dream, like a slip through my fingertips.
39:36Unfortunately...
39:38Robbie, it's time to take your stocking down.
39:46You're going home for the holidays.
39:52This has been, like, a life-changing experience.
39:55You have been such an important person to me for so long,
39:58and to have been picked by you to come here is beyond my wildest dreams.
40:04And I just want to make you proud.
40:15You made me proud.
40:17And you made our community proud.
40:25That means the world to me.
40:26Yes.
40:32Give it up for Robbie.
40:34Love you, Robbie.
40:35Love you, Robbie.
40:36The thing that I didn't know about being here
40:38is just how close I was going to feel with the other guys.
40:41They're so wonderful.
40:43And to be accepted by all of these guys is so meaningful.
40:48I know it seems cliche, but you have to follow your dreams.
40:51You have to go do it.
40:52You have one life.
40:53You have to shoot for the moon,
40:54and if you miss, you'll land among the stars.
40:56I didn't make it to the moon,
40:58but I'm definitely landing among the stars.
41:04We're at the stage now of splitting hairs,
41:06so you've got to bring it to every challenge.
41:09We'll see you next time as we continue the search to find Mr. Christmas.
41:14I don't think anybody saw this one coming.
41:19Robbie has been a big time player from day one.
41:22We're down to the final five now.
41:24This is serious.
41:25It's anyone's game.
41:27We're down to the final five now.
41:28We'll see you next time.
41:29We'll see you next time.
41:30We'll see you next time.
41:31See you next time.
41:32Bye.
41:57Bye.
