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

31:53a drink sure thing baby davy is coming alive it literally tastes like rubbing it nasty you guys no
32:05come on i said you had to be nice see this is why i never introduce you to anybody we are nice really
32:11because the last guy that i brought home for christmas you lured him outside in the backyard
32:15when the sprinkler system was on whoa that was an innocent mistake i mean how are we supposed to know
32:20that mom sprinklers on in the winter who does that yeah okay well look i really like them so just
32:25all right all right all right i figure everyone needed one after having to eat those cookies
32:30i made an honest mistake i forgot to put the sugar in all right it's an honest scenario
32:36thanks what do you say if we fish these cookies and the four of us take a selfie to commemorate
32:44me totally bombing our first introduction let's go for it yeah yeah but i like that idea
32:49all right everyone say merry christmas merry christmas oh i think it's very nice oh oh he poured
32:58the drink on his head brilliant davy don't worry about the cookie thing we're yeah we're glad you're
33:04here thank you guys like you really are the best thank you hey okay i'm gonna send the selfie to
33:09everybody real quick yeah come on you guys it's so immature really hey get back here hey
33:18hey i think i'm gonna need another one of these nice and cut
33:28there they are hey guys how you feeling how'd it go oh no that's a confident looking guy right
33:34yeah i know how you guys feeling hey hey hey bro i always feel confident after
33:40davy's advantage really helped us out and i think we crushed that scene but robbie rustin and marcus
33:45they're really strong so i mean this is a coin toss as far as like that selfie moment i was
33:50pretending to spill my drink on angel and i actually like spilled a little bit of it after we were done
33:55with it i was like i hope my hair is okay he was a he was a great sport about that let's talk about
34:01team one robbie rustin and marcus i felt like marcus did a really good job playing that boyfriend role
34:07because the other two brought a lot of energy and a lot of strong choices i do wish marcus maybe
34:12brought up his energy just a little bit like you said in that nervous match the room a little bit
34:17robbie did feel like he was overacting i wanted maybe to see that more um i actually love my sister
34:25a little bit of a real moment like you know what we love you a little bit more of that yeah agreed
34:31now for me this was the first time where rustin and robbie i felt were disconnected in a scene and i
34:37think it's because they had a little bit of a challenge with the leadership of this scene it
34:42just felt like there was some sort of power struggle happening let's talk about team two
34:48davy craig and angel there was a few times i thought that davy could have um reacted more and stayed in
34:54it and filled the space because craig was giving him so much comedy so much gold he could have reacted
35:01to the other actors more in that scene agreed yeah agreed craig came in hot i think he's so funny and
35:08you know i'm a sucker for a funny guy the faces he made the choices he made did mom pick that out
35:14that was really smart i love that it established their relationship immediately he felt super present
35:18i felt like that the whole time from him i i really enjoyed his performance and what about angel he was a
35:24great team player yeah the one thing with angel is i think sometimes he can lose a little bit of
