00:00Previously on Finding Mr. Christmas.
00:06Say Christmas! Christmas!
00:08Seven holiday hunks were still in the running for a leading role in a Hallmark movie.
00:12I'm going to need a volunteer.
00:14No, Melissa, you can't volunteer.
00:15In the festive face-off, it was Wipeout City.
00:20No!
00:23Then, in the star quality challenge, they strutted their stuff to charm Hallmark superfans.
00:28I'm going to 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, and so I never got that chance to say goodbye.
00:43Some shined.
00:44Are you getting warmed up?
00:45I'm getting kind of hot.
00:46Others, not so much.
00:48I, um...
00:49Angel faced a tough decision.
00:52Will you be keeping the immunity for yourself, or will you be gifting it?
00:56The person that I choose to have this immunity is Robbie.
01:02Craig and Gabe landed in the bottom.
01:05Gabe, you're going home for the holidays.
01:08Now, just six leading men remain as the hunt for Mr. Christmas continues.
01:12It's so nice out, isn't it?
01:19I know.
01:20And this view is beautiful.
01:21Yeah.
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 right before I'm about to come on the show.
01:31It was literally just like a month and a half ago, and I had to make that decision.
01:35Like, should I come on to the show, or should I go be there with her?
01:38How did she react to that?
01:40I spoke with her, and she's like, just go do it.
01:43It's not easy.
01:44It's really hard.
01:45I'm really feeling for him, and I know that it's a really difficult thing to go through.
01:51I am so sorry about everything that has been going on, but I'm so happy you shared it,
01:56because sometimes it's hard if people don't really kind of understand it to, like, talk about it or, like, open up about it.
02:03We're in different situations, but 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.
02:11I already knew Robbie was a good guy.
02:13Just being able to connect with him and find that friendship is amazing.
02:17If you need anything while we're here or you need to talk about your mom,
02:22please know that, like, you can do that.
02:23Same to you, you know, because sometimes even just talking about these memories can be a lot.
02:28For sure.
02:38How'd you guys sleep last night?
02:40Yesterday was tough, but, I mean, overall, it's a new day.
02:44I would love to get outside and sweat a little bit, maybe 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 jitters out.
02:53Like you on stage, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:56What is one word that y'all are going to, like, bring into today?
03:01Vulnerability.
03:02You know, I came in kind of just willing to go for it, and that's all well and good.
03:09But there's a whole other side to it as well that 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, and take this.
03:18Hey, 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.
03:25There's some vulnerability.
03:27I'll give a little heart to everybody, you know?
03:29Oh, did you hear that?
03:31Hey, let's go!
03:33Being in the bottom two, my confidence was a bit shaken.
03:37The other guys are really talented, and the last couple advantages from the festive face-offs
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?
03:53And now, from the Finding Mr. Christmas marching band, please welcome Melissa Peterman.
04:00Oh, wow.
04:05Hey, guys.
04:10Welcome to the Fa-La-La Lawn.
04:12Let me hear you say it.
04:13Fa-La-La Lawn.
04:14Fa-La-La Lawn.
04:16I hope you stretched, because we're about to have a ball, literally.
04:21Today, you will be rolling into the holiday cheer in giant inflatable ornaments and bowling
04:27down tree-tied treasures like the hunks that you are.
04:30This 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 and race to knock down six trees
04:45as fast 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, sick.
04:53It's crazy.
04:54Win, and you'll get an advantage in the next star quality challenge.
04:58Great.
04:58Yeah.
04:59Our 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, that person gets
05:22the point.
05:23Marcus, Craig, and Davey, go get ready.
05:25The rest of you can watch on the sidelines.
05:27All right.
05:27Let's go, guys.
05:29Let's go.
05:29Gentlemen, 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, 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.
06:04No, no.
06:05Oh, oh, oh.
06:06Davey 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, go, go, go, go.
06:17Oh.
06:19It is just utter chaos inside this ball.
06:25Davey's got one.
06:26There he goes.
06:26Oh, Marcus's got it.
06:27Oh, that was aggressive.
06:31Oh, oh, 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.
06:40And I kind of figure it out.
06:41I put my hands at the top.
06:43And I'm like using that to keep me balanced almost.
06:46I want to make sure that these things break.
06:49Oh, look at that.
06:51Oh, 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.
07:01Oh, all right.
07:01There goes Craig.
07:02That's two for Craig.
07:06Oh, my God.
07:07Oh, 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.
07:26Yeah.
07:27This is Davey's last one.
07:28Oh, my gosh.
07:30Woo!
07:30Oh, my gosh.
07:31Woo!
07:32Davey wins!
07:34Woo!
07:35Congratulations, Davey.
07:37Good job, buddy.
07:38I won my heat.
07:39Obviously, there's a second heat,
07:40but 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
07:57and not get injured.
07:59Davey did it so fast,
08:00and I know in order to beat him,
08:02I need to get a time that's better than his.
08:04Okay.
08:06Three, two, one.
08:09Goal!
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?
08:25Oh, Rustin's got one.
08:28Like a wrecking ball.
08:30Robbie'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 1,
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.
09:02Rustin's got another.
09:03Angel is on fire.
09:05Angel has got his fourth one down.
09:07Another point for Robbie.
09:10Angel is in the lead with four,
09:11and Robbie and Rustin are tied with three.
09:15That's four trees for Robbie.
09:17Angel, don't backtrack.
09:18Hey, Angel, no.
09:19What are you doing?
09:20Angel, you'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.
09:31Oh, Rustin.
09:32Oh, Rustin's got another one down.
09:36Robbie's got five trees.
09:37He's in the lead.
09:38Go, Robbie.
09:39Finish up.
09:40There's so much chaos.
09:42Rustin's got another one.
09:44Angel has one more.
09:45There'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.
09:53Robbie crossed the finish line first.
09:56Woo!
09:58Robbie, Rustin, Angel.
10:01I'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
10:22going into the next star quality challenge.
10:24The hunk that took down their trees the fastest is...
10:28Davey, congratulations.
10:33Good job, Davey.
10:36Thanks, fellas.
10:36Good job.
10:37Good job.
10:38Good job.
10:38Good job.
10:39Davey, how's it feel?
10:40You won a fasted face off.
10:41Yeah, it feels good, finally.
10:42I haven't had an advantage yet,
10:44so I'm a little bit nervous with what's to come.
10:47Do 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
10:56with me and Melissa.
10:58That's another crazy one.
11:00That's a huge advantage.
11:00So you'll be hearing the notes we're saying,
11:03the 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, let's run it.
11:23That way we don't waste more time.
11:27Brilliant.
11:27Yeah, so originally we were thinking that Rustin took charge,
11:30who is, like, your guys' leader right now.
11:33I think we've all contributed a significant amount.
11:36Those were awesome.
11:38They almost feel like they're overacting a little bit.
11:45Touchdown!
11:45How 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,
11:55and I was painfully shy.
11:56To and kind of through high school,
11:59and it was sort of sports that had that built-in sense of community
12:02where 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.
12:09I felt like I was fake in shape.
12:10Like, it didn't really feel like it was me yet.
12:13Sports was that outlet.
12:14It kind of forced you to be extroverted.
12:16With every day, I feel like I'm growing so much.
12:19I'm getting closer to the other guys.
12:20We help each other out.
12:21We root each other on.
12:22From 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
12:31stopped playing sports,
12:35and a lot of them, you know,
12:36unfortunately, some of them are gone now.
12:39So sports kept me on the right track,
12:41and, 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.
12:53He 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.
13:13You know, I appreciate you guys for that.
13:16It's rare, and it's special.
13:18I'm going to miss you all
13:19as you keep going one by one.
13:25Let's see what kind of advantage Davey gets.
13:26There's a smoker, a beat smoker.
13:30Wow, I like these looks.
13:34Hey, guys.
13:34Welcome to the Christmas block party.
13:37It's time for your annual
13:38neighborhood street snowshowl.
13:41Wait, what now?
13:42Snow showl?
13:43Snow showl?
13:44Snow and a social?
13:44I'll take it. I like it.
13:46It's a snow showl.
13:46We're having a snow showl.
13:48Snow showl!
13:49In this star quality challenge,
13:53you guys will work in two teams of three
13:55to perform the same script.
13:58Your challenge is to make the scene
14:00uniquely your own.
14:01The scene will be set
14:03at a merry lane mingle
14:04with all the chaos that happens
14:06when you bring neighbors together.
14:09Each group will have to decide
14:10who plays which part
14:12and how you will bring the scene to life
14:14through your energy,
14:15your 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.
14:21I like that.
14:22I like that.
14:23We're looking for great teamwork.
14:25And while you will work and act together,
14:27we want you to each find a way
14:29to shine individually.
14:31And to join the fun,
14:32this Hallmark star is an actress and producer
14:34you've seen in movies like
14:35Santa's Summit and Holiday Touchdown,
14:38A Chief's Love Story.
14:40Is it Hunter?
14:41Is it Hunter?
14:42Is it?
14:43Is it?
14:44It is.
14:46Please welcome Hunter King.
14:50Oh my gosh.
14:52I'm so excited.

14:58And I'm so excited
14:59to be doing this scene with her.
15:01I'm 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
15:09a scene in a group with you.
15:11Oh, wow.
15:12You know, group scenes
15:12are some of my favorites to film.
15:14They're so much fun,
15:15but there's a fine balance
15:16when you're filming them.
15:17You don't want to upstage
15:18your co-stars too much the whole time,
15:19but you also don't want
15:20to fall into the background.
15:21I sometimes,
15:23I like to steal a scene.
15:24You?
15:24I know you would never believe it,
15:27but I do like to steal a scene.
15:31But I will say
15:32that there's a way
15:32to come in and sparkle
15:33and make yourself notice
15:34without upstaging somebody.
15:36Wow.
15:36Great.
15:37Team one is Robbie,
15:39Rustin,
15:40and Marcus.
15:41Okay.
15:42Team two is Davey,
15:44Angel,
15:45and Craig.
15:46All right.
15:46All right.

15:48Let's get it.
15:49You'll have one hour
15:50to meet with your team
15:51and decide how you want
15:52to play your scene.
15:54Then you will just have
15:5410 minutes to fill Hunter in
15:56before we call action.

16:03goes first.
16:04Okay.

16:08and think about bringing
16:09the scenes to life.

16:12Good luck.
16:13Good luck.

16:19We already got the job.
16:20Yeah, we're already on the show.

16:28Of course it's a comedy.
16:29Absolutely.
16:30It's funny.
16:31So the scene we have
16:31to perform today
16:32is about two brothers
16:33at a neighborhood party
16:35meeting their sister
16:37who's bringing a boyfriend
16:38for the first time
16:39and we have to choose
16:41who's going to play who.
16:42Obviously, brothers.
16:45Yeah.
16:47Boyfriend.
16:47Absolutely.
16:48Any preference
16:49on man one or two?
16:51Man two right away

16:52and I feel like you say dude.
16:54Yeah.
16:55And that was like
16:56all right, there you go.
16:57This is a comedy scene
16:58so in order for that
17:00to come through
17:00you have to have fun.
17:02Like we're brothers.
17:03Yeah.
17:04Like that has to come across.
17:05I think so too.
17:06Yeah.
17:06That brotherly banter,
17:08that football slapping your butt
17:09with a towel type thing.
17:10Yep.
17:10And then you're this outsider
17:13who, you know,
17:14let's put you to the test, buddy.
17:16Yeah.
17:16You know, bring it on.
17:17I don't have a sister
17:17but I could imagine.
17:19Growing up I had an older brother
17:20and a younger brother.
17:21We're always giving each other
17:22a hard time, joking around
17:24so I'm hoping to kind of
17:25bring that out in this scene.
17:27All right, casting.
17:28Is there anyone that
17:29drew you guys to anything?
17:32Maybe have us be brothers.
17:33You guys riffing off each other?
17:34Yeah, yeah.
17:35Yeah, so I'll do man one.
17:36And I'll be man two.
17:37I'm jealous that you'll get
17:39to be Hunter's boyfriend
17:40but you know what?
17:41You know.
17:42I think you'll be
17:42really funny in that part.
17:44Okay, okay.
17:44I like it.
17:45I like it.
17:45I think you can take it.
17:46Yeah, no, I can take it.
17:47I can take it.
17:48Being the new boyfriend,
17:49meeting the siblings
17:50and the family,
17:51I feel like I've done that before
17:53and I felt like
17:54I could relate to that character.
17:56The brothers do something devious
17:57to mess with man three
17:58and ruin the picture.
17:59Leading lady snaps the photo.
18:01We have to have the joke
18:02of ruining the picture epic.
18:05Oh, absolutely.
18:05Let's start thinking of ideas
18:07like how can we ruin the picture.
18:09So probably like
18:11she's had a lot of other boyfriends
18:13that she's like brought home
18:14in the past
18:14and we're always so judgmental
18:16because we care about her.
18:17We love her.
18:17She's our little sister.
18:18Little sister, I think so.
18:19We're caring for her.
18:20So the last few years
18:21I've gotten some really
18:22incredible opportunities
18:23to direct.
18:24Everything from new plays
18:26to big musicals.
18:28Where are we wanting
18:29to set up the scene, right?
18:30We can probably make a setup
18:32here at the table.
18:34Yes, and I can walk
18:35out of the house right there.
18:36I just want to make sure
18:37that he's going to be able
18:38to hear the lines.
18:40I think that it's incredibly important
18:42to be able to throw ideas
18:45in the hat
18:46and figure this thing out together.
18:48That definitely seems
18:48like the best shot, right?
18:50This seems like the most
18:51reliable place.
18:53We could frame it up here
18:54and you just walk off
18:55over into this corner
18:56or something along those lines
18:57so that if you don't
18:57actually have to leave.
18:58My instinct would be
18:59that someone needs
19:00to be the director.
19:02So I do have experience
19:03doing this.
19:04Let's just go through it
19:06and just talk through
19:06the story a little bit.
19:07We're trying to get
19:08all of this down
19:09in a very short amount
19:10of time, but we have
19:12to all be on the same page.
19:13And that's like,
19:14what is happening?
19:16Like, what is going
19:16on right now?
19:18Coming up.
19:19Yeah, we're so happy
19:20to meet you.
19:21I want them to feel
19:23more like brothers.
19:24Yes.
19:24Are you guys going to do
19:25the shake really quick too
19:26between the two of you?
19:27That was the moment next.
19:28Right.
19:28That's okay.
19:29That's okay.
19:29How did we forget that one?
19:30Team one, your planning
19:37time is up.
19:38It's time for your
19:3910-minute rehearsal.
19:41Yeah, we're looking forward
19:42to being able to discuss
19:43a lot of the stuff
19:44that we've already established
19:45with you and getting
19:46your fresh takes on this.
19:47Yes.
19:47Oh, great.
19:48I'm so excited.
19:48I want to see what you guys
19:49have planned.
19:49There's one more layer
19:50that we need to add
19:51since this is a block party.
19:54Would our background artists
19:55please join us?
19:56Come on over here.
19:56Oh, hey.
19:58Hello, hello, hello.
20:00Awesome.
20:01Wow.
20:01Come on in, guys.
20:02Best of.
20:03Good?
20:03Perfect.
20:04Fantastic.
20:05Great leg.
20:05Good luck.
20:05Thank you, John.
20:06All right, let's do it.
20:07So, it's a lot of pressure
20:09to, you know,
20:09tell Hunter kind of what to do
20:11because if she's not
20:12comfortable in the scene
20:13then it's going to make
20:14everything else fall apart.
20:15So, my brothers?
20:17Yes.
20:17My boyfriend?
20:18Okay, all right.
20:18What are we thinking?
20:19Yeah, so, originally
20:20we were thinking
20:21that maybe this was
20:21a really good spot
20:22but now that we have
20:23a better layout
20:24and understanding
20:24of where the background actors
20:26are and how the food
20:26is established
20:27it's starting to feel
20:28like maybe our primary scene
20:31should actually be
20:31up here in front.
20:32A little closer up here.
20:33Okay.
20:33Right?
20:34I feel like I have
20:35a really good understanding
20:35of how we should be
20:36moving into the scene
20:37and out of the scene
20:38to make sure
20:39that we're getting
20:40the shots right
20:41for each of us
20:42in order to tell the story.
20:43Let's put these drinks
20:44over maybe on this table
20:45right here.
20:46This table.
20:46Sure.
20:47Rustin took charge.
20:49You have to think
20:50in a team mentality.
20:51You're only as good
20:52as your weakest link
20:53so I want everyone
20:54to shine and bring it.
20:56Who is like
20:56your guys' leader right now?
20:58Is there like
20:58one designated leader
20:59between you guys?
21:00Is there someone
21:00that's kind of
21:01the director of the group
21:02or is it kind of
21:02a group project right now?
21:04It's like a group.
21:04We've all contributed
21:05a significant amount.
21:06Yeah.
21:07Robbie has ideas
21:08that he's bringing
21:08to the scene
21:09and I have ideas
21:09that I'm bringing
21:10to the scene
21:11and it's more about
21:12just us navigating
21:13how those ideas
21:14work together.
21:16You guys want to run
21:16this really quick?
21:17Yeah.
21:17Let's give it a shot.
21:19What's up?
21:20Who brings eggs
21:21to a Christmas party?
21:23Devil eggs.
21:23They're classic.
21:24And what did you bring?
21:26Brownies.
21:27Like a normal person.
21:28Oh, okay.
21:29Rustin and I
21:29have developed
21:30a backstory
21:30that I'm kind of
21:32like the tech brother
21:33who's like really
21:33always working
21:34all the time
21:34on his phone
21:35and he's maybe
21:36like the music guy
21:37who's a little bit
21:37more artsy
21:38and so it's a fun
21:40kind of specific
21:40dynamic that we've created.
21:42Really great
21:42to meet you guys.
21:44Yes, okay,
21:45so Shane,
21:45these are my brothers.
21:46Thanks for letting me
21:47crash the neighborhood
21:48block party.
21:49Knowing that the
21:50boyfriend role
21:50doesn't have as much
21:51screen time
21:52as the brothers' roles do,
21:54I have to make sure
21:55that all the screen time
21:56that I have
21:57really counts.
21:58If you're comfortable
21:59with it
21:59because it says
22:00like a cute,
22:01sweet moment,
22:02like a little
22:02like nose thing
22:03like before we walk away.
22:04Sure.
22:05Yeah, so be like
22:05a little...
22:06Little nose.
22:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:07Cute.
22:08Love it.
22:08And then I'll be right back.
22:09And we kind of talked
22:10about like a look
22:11between the three siblings.
22:12Like we all know
22:13these are...
22:13We all have a little bit
22:14of cookie left in the mouth.
22:15Okay.
22:15In this challenge,
22:16it's so important
22:17to bring our own
22:18creative perspective to this.
22:20And so I'm hoping
22:21that our ideas
22:22will play out really well.
22:24Great job.
22:25Your time's up.
22:26Go ahead and put
22:26your 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
22:31and everybody was making sure
22:32that they were
22:33in front of their camera.
22:34I just got to make sure
22:35that I bring it
22:35in my own way.
22:37Davey, since you won
22:37the advantage,
22:38you can join Melissa
22:39and I at the monitors.
22:40Totally.
22:41It's great to be in
22:42the booth with Melissa
22:43and Jonathan
22:44and I'm curious
22:45to see what
22:45they're going
22:45to come up with.
22:46All right, places.
22:48Top of the show.
22:49Roll sound.
22:50Roll camera.
22:52Everybody set.
22:54Settle.
22:55And action.
22:59Who brings eggs
23:00to a Christmas party?
23:02Deviled eggs.
23:04They'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.
23:12You've never met
23:16this guy, right?
23:17Nope, but 20 bucks
23:18says he's wearing
23:18a polo and khakis.
23:20Nah, my money's
23:22on, uh, stress jeans.
23:24You're on.
23:25Oh, all right.
23:27Okay.
23:28Do we even want to know
23:30what you two
23:30are shaking on?
23:32Merry Christmas.
23:33Hey, guys.
23:34Merry Christmas.
23:35Get over here, sis.
23:36Good to see you.
23:37Play of yourselves.
23:38Okay, uh, you guys,
23:40this is Shane
23:41and Shane,
23:42these are my brothers.
23:44It's really great
23:44to meet you guys.
23:46Yeah, we're so happy
23:48to meet you.
23:50I want them to feel
23:51more like brothers.
23:52Yes.
23:52So, uh,
23:53what do you got there?
23:54Oh, cookies.
23:54I baked them myself,
23:56but you guys should
23:56probably know
23:57I've never actually
23:58used the oven,
23:58so I don't know
23:59if they're actually
24:00going to turn out
24:00very good.
24:01Oh, a risk taker.
24:03I like it.
24:04Hey, I am sure
24:05they're going to be
24:06delicious.
24:07Maybe you guys
24:08should try one
24:09before I set them out.
24:11Yeah?
24:11Oh.
24:11Yeah.
24:12Yeah.
24:14Come on, guys.
24:16There we go.
24:16Thanks.
24:17Yeah.
24:19Mmm.
24:20Mmm.
24:21Mmm.
24:21I love how they
24:22take their time.
24:23Milk this moment.
24:24Mmm.
24:24Mmm.
24:25Yeah?
24:25Mmm.
24:26Yeah.
24:27These are...
24:28There's something.
24:31Mmm.
24:32They're like nothing
24:34I've tasted before.
24:35They're so good.
24:37You guys are lying.
24:39They're terrible,
24:40aren't they?
24:40Mmm.
24:40Mmm.
24:41Mmm.
24:41Mmm.
24:42Baby, they're...
24:43They're really...
24:44So good.
24:45Yeah.
24:46I'm just...
24:47Well, I'm really thirsty.
24:48Would you make me
24:48something to drink?
24:49Sure thing.
24:52I'll be right back.
24:53Mmm.
24:59Those were awful.
25:02What did he put in those?
25:03Rumming alcohol?
25:04Oh, come on, you guys.
25:06Please, I said to be nice.
25:07No, see, this is why
25:09I never introduce you
25:10to anybody.
25:10What do you mean?
25:11We're nice.
25:12We are always kind
25:13to your boyfriends.
25:15Really?
25:15Because the last time
25:16I brought a guy home
25:17for Christmas,
25:17you lured him into the backyard
25:18when the sprinkler system
25:20was on.
25:22That was an innocent mistake.
25:24How did we know
25:25that Mom kept the sprinklers
25:26on in the middle of winter?
25:28Yeah.
25:28They almost feel like
25:29they're overacting
25:30a little bit, these two.
25:31Let me just go easy
25:32on him, please.
25:32I figured you guys
25:36could use one
25:36after having to eat
25:37those cookies.
25:38No!
25:39No!
25:40Good, good.
25:41Guys, guys, guys, guys.
25:43It's okay.
25:44I forgot to put the sugar
25:45in the cookies.
25:48That tracks.
25:50It happens.
25:52It's a thought that counts, babe.
25:54What do you guys say
25:55we take a little selfie
25:57to commemorate me bombing
25:58the first introduction?
25:59All right.
26:00That's a great idea.
26:01I'll take it.
26:02Ready?
26:03Say Merry Christmas.
26:05Merry Christmas.
26:09Have fun with that.
26:10Your brothers look stupid.
26:11Go for it.
26:12Make me laugh.
26:13Funny.
26:13Make me laugh.
26:13Make us laugh.
26:14And I would like
26:15to propose a toast
26:16to new friends.
26:19Yeah, dude,
26:19don't worry about
26:20the cookies, man.
26:21We're happy to have you.
26:22Aw, thanks, guys.
26:24Okay, I'm going to
26:25send our selfie
26:26to everyone really quick.
26:27Oh, really?
26:30You guys are so immature.
26:33God, really?
26:35Hey, come back here.
26:37Oh, you are nothing
26:38but trouble.
26:39I think I'm going to need
26:43another one of these.
26:45And cut!
26:48What did you learn?
26:49A lot.
26:50Take your time.
26:51Don't rush.
26:52Do you have brothers?
26:53Yeah.
26:53Yes.
26:53Do you guys give each other,
26:54like, totally?
26:55Do that.
26:56We're going to be channeling
26:56through that.
26:57You and Craig
26:57to be the people
26:58that we love to hate.
26:59Yeah.
26:59Robbie and Rustin
27:00didn't necessarily bring
27:02the same kind of
27:03brotherly energy
27:04that I knew Craig
27:04and I were going to bring.
27:05So I think that'll
27:06play to our advantage.
27:08This is going to be fun.
27:09Yeah, yeah.
27:10Let's go.
27:10Have fun.
27:10Have fun.
27:11Have fun.
27:11You got this.
27:13Coming up,
27:15there was some sort
27:16of power struggle happening.
27:17Merry Christmas!
27:19Oh, I think it's raining, guys.
27:20One of you
27:21out-acted the other
27:23just by a hair.
27:27Oh, that was fast.
27:33That was quick.
27:34The moment when we
27:35eat the cookies,
27:36like, really take your time.
27:38Taste the cookie.
27:40Yeah, rather than bite.
27:41Nasty.
27:41You got to taste it first.
27:43With the advantage,
27:43I also feel like comes
27:44with a little bit
27:45of extra pressure.
27:45There's probably going to be
27:46some expectations to perform.
27:49For the photo,
27:49photo bomb it
27:51however big you can,
27:52you know,
27:53without, like,
27:53disrupting the scene.
27:54So I kind of hashed out
27:55some last-minute things
27:56to prove to myself
27:58and to everybody else
27:58that I belong here.
28:00Hi, guys.
28:01Hey, ladies.
28:01Hey, team two.
28:02Davey, your team
28:03has ten minutes to rehearse.
28:05Okay.
28:05Perfect.
28:06Good luck.
28:06Now, is there, like,
28:07a leader?
28:08Is everyone working
28:08together as a team?
28:09Working together as a team.
28:10Yeah, okay.
28:11All right, I love it.
28:12Do you want to show me
28:13what you guys have
28:13planned so far?
28:14Yeah.
28:14Okay.
28:16Going into rehearsal,
28:17I'm not worried about me.
28:18I want to make sure
28:19my guys are going to shine.
28:21If they start shining,
28:23Hunter and I
28:24are going to shine.
28:25Before we start the rehearsal,
28:27we need to find our marks
28:28because we have
28:29our cameras,
28:31your cameras,
28:32and this is the Y.
28:33I helped co-direct
28:34this short film.
28:36Having that experience,
28:38I know how to hit
28:39certain marks
28:40and make sure
28:42the camera can see us.
28:43She'll end right here
28:44and here,
28:45and that way we both
28:45have our cameras.
28:46So it'll be kind of
28:47maybe one of these lines?
28:48Sure.
28:48I'm more or less
28:49letting Angel dictate
28:50a lot of the situation
28:51with this scene.
28:52Take the lead.
28:53Cool.
28:53Let's run it.
28:54That way we don't
28:55waste more time.
28:55Okay, cool.
28:56And I feel good about us.
28:58Ready?
28:59Yep.
28:59I want to immediately
29:00establish the fact
29:02that we are brothers,
29:03so we decided to improv
29:04a couple lines
29:05at the very top of the scene.
29:07Nice outfit, man.
29:08Did mom dress up in that?
29:09Yeah, probably.
29:10You got a blazer,
29:12you run it for office,
29:13or what's going on?
29:13Watch the camera.
29:15What's going on?
29:16Craig and Davey,
29:17if you don't mind.
29:17Go ahead.
29:19Do your scene
29:19to your cameras,
29:21set this up,
29:22and find a moment
29:23that brings you back here
29:24looking at the space
29:26so then when we come in,
29:27you don't block our cameras.
29:29Yeah.
29:29You have to find your camera
29:31so it can see the faces.
29:33I'm starting to sweat,
29:34not because of the weather,
29:35but because of
29:36how this is going to turn out.
29:39Nice outfit, man.
29:40Mom dress you up in that?
29:41Yeah.
29:41Probably.
29:42There is a lot
29:43happening here.
29:45It's a group ensemble,
29:46a bunch of dialogue.
29:47Are you guys going to do
29:48the shake really quick, too,
29:49between the two of you?
29:50That was the moment.
29:51Right.
29:51That's okay.
29:52That's okay.
29:53Because I got to
29:53reference your shake.
29:55How did we forget that one?
29:56I'm just hoping that
29:57I can latch on
29:58and I'm going to do
29:59the best I can.
30:00And Shane, these are,
30:01these are my brothers.
30:01Shane.
30:02Hey, Shane.
30:02What's going on, Shane?
30:03It's great to meet you guys.
30:04Yeah.
30:04What do you got there?
30:06Cookies.
30:07I baked them myself.
30:08The success of a scene
30:09isn't just about one person,
30:11it's about all of us.
30:12So Craig and I
30:13are kind of trying
30:14to lean into
30:14the playful brother act
30:16without being overly obnoxious.
30:18Everybody say,
30:19Merry Christmas.
30:20Merry Christmas.
30:21It finally started
30:22to come together.
30:24You guys are so immature.
30:27I guess I'm going to
30:27need another one of these.
30:29Here we go.
30:30Let's do it.
30:31Now we have to kind of
30:32bring this thing to life.
30:33I'm hoping we don't
30:34commit the same mistakes.
30:36And action!
30:38Hey, dude,
30:39really loving that outfit.
30:40Didn't mom dress you up in that?
30:41Nope.
30:42Dressed myself.
30:43What's up with the blaze?
30:43Are you in your eggs
30:44running for office?
30:45Or, I mean,
30:46who brings eggs
30:46to a Christmas party?
30:48Deviled eggs.
30:49Literally classic.
30:50What do you got, brownies?
30:51Yeah.
30:52I got brownies.
30:53Like a normal person.
30:56Oh, it's Leah.
30:57Huh.
30:58She said they're here.
30:59Hey, have you actually
31:00met this guy?
31:01No.
31:02Uh, 20 bucks, though,
31:03says he's, uh,
31:05polo khakis kind of guy.
31:07My money's on distressed jeans.
31:08Yeah?
31:09You're on.
31:10Oh, there they go.
31:10Oh, here.
31:11Hey.
31:12Oh, do I even want to know
31:13what you two are shaking on?
31:14Oh, yeah.
31:14Okay, please behave.
31:16Yeah, yeah.
31:17You guys, this is Shane.
31:19Oh, Shane.
31:19Shane, these are my brothers.
31:21Hey, Shane, what's going on?
31:22Hey, Shane.
31:23How are you?
31:24It was really great to meet you guys.
31:25What do you got there?
31:26Some cookies?
31:27Cookies.
31:27Yeah, looks like it.
31:28I baked them myself.
31:30All right.
31:30But I've never actually
31:31used my oven before, so...
31:33I'm...
31:34Oh.
31:36Sure, why not?
31:38Thanks.
31:39Let me know what you think.
31:40Hmm.
31:42Wow.
31:44Hmm, that's...
31:45That's something.
31:48Hmm, yep.
31:49It's so good.
31:50Craig is so good.
31:51I'm a little thirsty,
31:52but you mind giving me
31:52something to drink?
31:54Sure thing, baby.
31:55Okay.
31:58Oh!
32:00Davey is coming alive.
32:01It literally tastes like
32:02rubbing a towel.
32:04You guys, no, come on.
32:05I said you had to be nice.
32:07See, this is why
32:08I never introduce you to anybody.
32:10We are nice.
32:11Really?
32:12Because the last guy
32:12that I brought home for Christmas,
32:14you lured him outside
32:14into the backyard
32:15when the sprinkler system was on.
32:17Whoa, that was
32:18an innocent mistake.
32:19I mean, how were we supposed
32:20to know that mom
32:20puts the sprinklers
32:21on in the winter?
32:22Who does that?
32:22Yeah.
32:23Okay, well, look,
32:24I really like him,
32:24so just...
32:25All right, all right, all right.
32:26I figure everyone
32:27needed one
32:28after having to eat
32:29those cookies.
32:29I made an honest mistake.
32:32I forgot to put
32:32the sugar in.
32:34All right, it's an honest...
32:35There we go.
32:36Just, thanks.
32:37What do you say
32:37if we dish these cookies
32:40and four of us
32:41take a selfie
32:42to commemorate
32:44me totally bombing
32:45our first introduction?
32:46Let's go for it.
32:47Yeah.
32:47Yeah.
32:48Go on that side.
32:48But I like that idea.
32:50Go on that side.
32:50All right.
32:51Everyone say
32:51Merry Christmas.
32:52Merry Christmas.
32:55Oh, I think
32:55it's raining ice.
32:56Oh.
32:57Oh.
32:58He poured the drink
32:59on his head.
33:00Brilliant, Davey.
33:01Don't worry about
33:01the cookie thing.
33:02We're...
33:03Yeah.
33:03We're glad you're here.
33:04Thank you, guys.
33:05You really are the best.
33:08Hey, okay,
33:08I'm gonna send
33:09the selfie
33:09to everybody real quick.
33:11Yeah.
33:13Come on, you guys.
33:14This is so immature.
33:16Really?
33:17Hey, get back here.
33:18Hey.
33:21I think I'm gonna need
33:22another one of these.
33:23Nice.
33:24And cut.
33:25Dude.
33:28There they are.
33:29Hey, guys.
33:29Hey.
33:30How you feeling?
33:31How'd it go?
33:32Oh, that's a confident
33:34looking guy right there.
33:35Yeah, I know.
33:36How you guys feeling?
33:36Hey, hey, hey.
33:37Bro, I always feel
33:38confident after.
33:40Davey's advantage
33:41really helped us out,
33:42and I think we crushed
33:43that scene,
33:44but Robbie, Rustin,
33:45and Marcus,
33:45they're really strong,
33:46so, I mean,
33:48this is a coin toss.
33:49As far as, like,
33:49that selfie moment,
33:50I was pretending
33:51to spill my drink
33:52on Angel,
33:53and I actually, like,
33:53spilled a little bit of it.
33:54After we were done with it,
33:56I was like,
33:56I hope my hair is okay.
33:57He was a great sport
33:59about that.
34:00Let's talk about team one.
34:02Robbie, Rustin,
34:03and Marcus.
34:04I felt like Marcus
34:05did a really good job
34:06playing that boyfriend role,
34:07because the other two
34:08brought a lot of energy
34:09and a lot of strong choices.
34:11I do wish Marcus
34:12maybe brought up his energy
34:14just a little bit,
34:15like you said,
34:15in that nervous.
34:16Match the room a little bit.
34:18Robbie did feel
34:19like he was overacting.
34:20I wanted maybe to see
34:22that more,
34:23um,
34:24I actually love my sister.
34:25A little bit of a real moment,
34:26like,
34:27you know what?
34:28We love you.
34:28A little bit more of that.
34:30Yeah, agreed.
34:31Now, for me,
34:31this was the first time
34:33where Rustin and Robbie,
34:34I felt,
34:35were disconnected
34:36in a scene,
34:37and I think it's because
34:38they had a little bit
34:39of a challenge
34:40with the leadership
34:41of this scene.
34:42It just felt like
34:43there was some sort
34:44of power struggle happening.
34:46Let's talk about team two.
34:48Davey, Craig,
34:50and Angel.
34:51There was a few times
34:51I thought that Davey
34:52could have, um,
34:53reacted more
34:54and stayed in it
34:55and filled the space
34:56because Craig
34:57was giving him
34:57so much comedy,
34:58so much gold.
35:00He could have reacted
35:01to the other actors
35:03more in that scene.
35:04Agreed.
35:04Yeah.
35:05Agreed.
35:06Craig came in hot.
35:07I think he's so funny,
35:08and you know,
35:08I'm a sucker
35:09for a funny guy.
35:10The faces he made,
35:11the choices he made,
35:13did Mom pick that out?
35:14That was really smart.
35:15I love that.
35:15It established
35:16their relationship immediately.
35:17He felt super present.
35:18I felt like that
35:19the whole time from him.
35:20I really enjoyed
35:21his performance.
35:22And what about Angel?
35:23He was a great team player.
35:25Yeah.
35:26The one thing with Angel
35:27is I think sometimes
35:29he can lose
35:30a little bit
35:31of the momentum
35:32in the scene.
35:34Uh-huh.
35:35We have a big decision
35:36to make,
35:37but unfortunately,
35:38one of our guys
35:39has to go home.
35:40No.
35:42Good luck with it, Hunter.
35:43Good luck, Hunter.
35:44Oh, yeah.
35:44I have a tummy.
35:45Yeah, we're gonna leave
35:45this up to you.
35:46No, you stay right here.
35:47You stay right here.
35:47Bye-bye now.
35:48You come with it.
35:49Bye-bye.
35:49Yeah, let's go.
35:50Bye-bye.
35:50Bye, Hunter.
35:51Bye.
35:51Have fun making
35:52the decision.
35:52All by yourself.
35:54I think we get rid
35:55of Jonathan, right?
35:57No?
35:58Okay.
36:08Walking into
36:08each elimination now,
36:09there's no more
36:11feeling safe.
36:12There's no more
36:12feeling confident.
36:13We're getting down
36:14to the nitty-gritty,
36:15and anyone can go
36:16at any time.
36:17Hello, gentlemen.
36:19One of you will be named
36:20this week's shining star,
36:21and one of you
36:23will be headed home
36:23for the holidays.
36:26In today's star quality challenge,
36:27we asked you to work
36:28as a team,
36:29help each other shine,
36:31bring your own twist
36:32to the script,
36:33and show us
36:33your star quality.
36:35All while staying
36:36connected to each other
36:37and your incredible
36:38co-star, Hunter King.
36:40Hunter,
36:40how do you think
36:41the guys did?
36:42I think they all
36:43did a really great job.
36:44It was so much fun
36:45getting to work with them
36:46and watch them
36:46grow as actors.
36:48There can only be
36:49one shining star tonight.
36:52And that person
36:53was a team player,
36:54used their gift of acting
36:56to elevate their co-stars,
36:58and the person
37:00that added comedy
37:01along with believability
37:03when it came
37:04to portraying brothers.
37:08The winner
37:09of the star quality challenge
37:11and tonight's shining star
37:13is...
37:15Craig.
37:17Congratulations.
37:19Congratulations.
37:21Thank you for that
37:21quickie job.
37:23Well done.
37:26I think you really
37:27shined in that scene,
37:29and you had great instincts.
37:33I thought I was gone, man.
37:37I've been doing this
37:38a long time now.
37:39You audition,
37:41and you audition,
37:42and you audition,
37:42and you audition,
37:43and you audition.
37:45It gets exhausting.
37:47Yeah.
37:47Well, congratulations.
37:49You were very,
37:50very funny
37:51in this scene.
37:53Angel and Davey,
37:55you're safe.
37:59Rustin,
38:00Marcus,
38:01Robbie,
38:03one of you
38:03will be going home.
38:07Okay.
38:08Robbie,
38:08how do you feel
38:09this challenge
38:09was for you today?
38:10Right at the beginning,
38:12I thought that there
38:12maybe should be
38:13one voice,
38:15but then
38:15I thought,
38:16actually,
38:17for this,
38:18it was really nice
38:19to work collaboratively
38:20with my team
38:21for us all
38:22to have a say.
38:23Rustin,
38:24tell me about the part
38:24you played in your team.
38:26I felt that
38:26Robbie and I
38:28were really in sync.
38:29There was a lot of overlap
38:30that made it feel like
38:31we were both really
38:32like on the same page.
38:33I felt like Marcus
38:34was such a team player,
38:35and he had some great
38:36collaborative recommendations.
38:38And I almost felt like
38:39watching you guys
38:41interact with each other
38:42gave me that thing
38:44to act off of.
38:45Okay.
38:46Yeah.
38:47That makes sense.
38:50Rustin,
38:50Robbie,
38:55will you please step down?
39:00In today's challenge,
39:01you both were at fault
39:02for competing with each other
39:03when we asked you
39:04to work as a team.
39:05That leaves us
39:06to judge you purely
39:07on your acting
39:08in the scene today.
39:10And one of you
39:11outacted the other
39:13just by a hair.
39:17One of you
39:17will be going home
39:18right now.
39:20I'm not ready
39:22to go home.
39:23I want to stay here.
39:25My palms are sweaty.
39:26I'm so close
39:27to having a dream
39:29like a slip
39:30through my fingertips.
39:31Unfortunately,
39:37Robbie,
39:39it's time to take
39:39your stocking down.
39:41You're going home
39:42for the holidays.
39:47This has been
39:48like a life-changing
39:48experience.
39:49because you have been
39:50such an important person
39:51to me for so long
39:53and to have
39:53been picked by you
39:55to come here
39:56is beyond
39:57my wildest dreams.
40:00And I just
40:02want to make you proud.
40:10You made me proud
40:11and you made
40:13our community proud.
40:14that means the world
40:20to me.
40:21Yes.
40:26Give it up for Robbie.
40:29Love you, Robbie.
40:30Love you, Robbie.
40:31The thing that I didn't know
40:33about being here
40:33is just how close
40:34I was going to feel
40:35with the other guys.
40:36They're so wonderful
40:37and to be accepted
40:39by all of these guys
40:40is so meaningful.
40:43I know it seems cliche,
40:44but you have to follow
40:45your dreams.
40:46You have to go do it.
40:47You have one life.
40:48You have to shoot
40:49for the moon
40:49and if you miss,
40:50you'll land among the stars.
40:51I didn't make it to the moon,
40:53but I'm definitely
40:54landing among the stars.
40:58We're at the stage now
41:00of splitting hairs,
41:01so you've got to bring it
41:03to every challenge.
41:04We'll see you next time
41:06as we continue the search
41:07to find Mr. Christmas.
41:12I don't think anybody
41:13saw this one coming.
41:15Robbie has been a big-time player
41:17from day one.
41:18We're down to the final five now.
41:20This is serious.
41:21It's anyone's game.
41:23We're down to the final five now.
41:53We'll be back to the final five now.
42:00Okay.
