00:00Oh, this is sick.
00:04All right, now it's real.
00:08Other door, okay.
00:11Wow, Christmas tree right away.
00:15Everywhere you look, this place is decked out.
00:18Decorations from floor to ceiling.
00:21Oh, look at that.
00:24Craig.
00:25Anybody here?
00:30Not yet, okay.
00:35Oh, man.
00:36So much bigger than I thought it was going to be.
00:38I was thinking the same thing.
00:40It's like Santa has a country home.
00:42Exactly.
00:43I think I'm Hallmark leading man material because I'm tall, I have nice hair, shout out mom, and most importantly, I have a big heart.
00:50Oh, man, it smells so good.
00:52Yo, what's going on? I'm Craig.
00:54Hey, Robbie.
00:55Robbie, good to meet you.
00:55Yeah, nice to meet you.
00:56Drake, good to meet you.
00:57The stockings make it so real.
00:59My mom was a huge fan of Hallmark movies, so in order to, like, stay up late on a school night, I'd always be like, hey, mom, like, can I watch this movie with you?
01:08Real fire.
01:09We'd, like, curl up on the couch, like, especially if it was during the Christmas season, and we'd watch Hallmark movies.
01:14It's a big part of why I'm so excited to be here.
01:16Not one 20-foot tree, but two 20-foot trees, the one when you enter, and then this one.
01:22It's incredible.
01:25Hello.
01:25Wow.
01:26Hey, what's up, man?
01:28Robbie.
01:29Robbie?
01:29Angel.
01:30How are you, man?
01:30Good to meet you.
01:31Hug it.
01:31What's going on, man?
01:32Drake, man.
01:33Nice hair.
01:33Thank you, man.
01:34You too, you too.
01:35Being here means a lot to me because watching Hallmark movies is a huge part for our holiday
01:40tradition.
01:41It's always all about joy, love, and magic.
01:45That's the beauty of Christmas.
01:47I grew up in Massachusetts.
01:48What about you?
01:49Born and raised in Venezuela.
01:51When I was 15, my mom brought my sister and me to the United States and gave us a better
01:56life.
01:57Who's going to be Mr. Christmas?
01:59Yeah.
01:59We'll find out soon enough.
02:00We got, what, six other guys still to come?
02:02I know.
02:03It's a huge house.
02:04I'm down to stay here for a while.
02:06What's up, guys?
02:07Good job.
02:07What's up, fellas?
02:08Hey.
02:09What's up, guys?
02:10What's up?
02:10Angel.
02:11Davey.
02:11Nice to meet you.
02:12Angel.
02:13How are you, man?
02:14Good, how are you?
02:14What's your name?
02:15Gabe.
02:15Gabe.
02:16Or Gabriel.
02:16Greg.
02:17Some beautiful men right here.
02:18Wow.
02:19That's the name of the game, right?
02:20Yeah.
02:20Part of it, I guess.
02:22We made the cup.
02:23Yeah.
02:24I just started acting, so I'm a newbie.
02:29Being so new to acting and getting the opportunity to come here is pretty intimidating, to be honest.
02:35I started going to acting classes and have been working very hard because I want to try to do this.
02:41Want to stay here for a little bit?
02:42It's gorgeous.
02:43I'm a former professional football punter that has never done a scene in his life.
02:48Hey, let's do it.
02:49By not having acting experience, no one really knows what to expect from me.
02:53And that's kind of going to be my sneaky strategy.
02:55Hey, I'm Logan.
02:56Logan.
02:57How you doing?
02:57Jake.
02:58Craig.
02:58Craig, nice to meet you, man.
02:59Yeah, you too.
03:00I love those gloves you got on.
03:02Yeah, it's tough to make you like them.
03:03I actually, I made these.
03:05Really?
03:05Yeah.
03:05No way.
03:07Did you see the donuts over here?
03:08Yeah, man.
03:08I was thinking about digging into them.
03:09Not yet.
03:10But they look good, don't they?
03:11They have hot cocoa?
03:12You first, man.
03:13I don't mind.
03:14So kind.
03:15Dude, it's so epic.
03:18I'm a singer, songwriter, musician, but I am here to be an actor.
03:23Rustin.
03:24Rustin?
03:24Rustin, yeah.
03:25It's like Justin, but with an R.
03:27Dude, we got the trust circle going on already.
03:29It's Chris's circle.
03:30Yeah.
03:31Hello.
03:31Hey.
03:32Hey.
03:32I'm Marcus.
03:33What's going on?
03:34What's going on, guys?
03:35Hey, we look like we can be brothers.
03:38I was a chubby kid growing up.
03:40In seventh grade, I got cut from the basketball team.
03:43That motivated me to start working out all through the summer.
03:46In eighth grade, I came back, and the coaches, they had no idea who I was.
03:50And now, I am a full-time model.
03:52Buddy.
03:52You were the last one out, man.
03:53Oh, we got the stockings over here.
03:54Last one to show up, first one to go.
03:56You know, hey.
03:58If that happens, it happens.
03:59It's okay.
04:00I mean, it's like that newborn phase where a lot of sleepless nights.
04:05But you're dead now?
04:06Yeah.
04:06Yeah.
04:07Yeah.
04:07Thanks.
04:08So I recently became a new dad.
04:10My son, Soto, was born eight weeks ago.
04:13I'm super grateful for my wife at home doing all she can to take care of our son.
04:17It feels surreal.
04:18You look at the kid and go, that's mine.
04:20You know?
04:21I know.
04:21But it takes a step.
04:22It's also like a tone person, and you're like.
04:24I'm definitely feeling the weight of the future and being able to provide as a father, but I know
04:28that this path I'm on will help lead me in that direction.
04:32Nobody gives you an instruction manual.
04:33You go home with it, and it's, that's your boy.
04:35You know?
04:36Forever.
04:37Yeah.
04:38Oh, it's a slippery ball.
04:39After meeting all the guys at the house, they're handsome, they're nice guys, but I think
04:43my biggest competition is myself.
04:46I feel like this is going to be dangerous.
04:47Knock a stocking off, and it'll be like a hint.
04:49Be like, that person's got to go.
04:53Oh, my God.
04:54What's up, guys?
04:57Jonathan has been someone who I've always looked up to in this business.
05:00Everything he's done on Hallmark, he's been bursting down barriers.
05:03Welcome to season two of Finding Mr. Christmas.
05:07You're all here chasing the same dream and the same prize.
05:11A leading role in a Hallmark Christmas movie.
05:15Winning a role in a Hallmark movie would be the absolute best thing that could happen.
05:21It would mean that I'm a part of something.
05:23Good acting isn't all it takes to be the next Mr. Christmas.
05:26You've got to be kind, genuine, charming, have a great sense of humor, and a whole lot of heart.
05:33Yeah, okay.
05:35Here's how the Christmas magic is going to go down.
05:38You're going to go noggin to egg noggin in two rounds of challenges.
05:42First, a festive face-off.
05:44When you hear this sound,
05:46that means the festive face-off is about to begin.
05:52Win, and you'll receive an advantage that can benefit you in the star quality challenge.
05:58Nice.
05:58That's where you'll get the chance to perform with some of Hallmark's biggest stars.
06:02This whole competition is the ultimate test of how you showcase your star quality.
06:10That special it factor that makes you shine above the rest.
06:15My friends and family would describe me as a golden retriever just because I have really high energy,
06:19and I am a delusional optimist.
06:20That is my star quality.
06:22And also, I think Hallmark is awesome.
06:24Take some time to get to know each other and enjoy the Holiday House, which is bursting with holiday joy,
06:29thanks to these incredible balsam hill trees and decorations.
06:34We'll see you soon.
06:35The amount of experience that Jonathan has, it's going to be a huge opportunity for each of us to learn from him.
06:44Tell me your name one more time.
06:45Robbie.
06:46I'm so curious what it's going to be like.
06:48I'm looking forward to the challenges in between to break it up.
06:50Right?
06:51Gabe is sneaky good, by the way.
06:52Wait, wait, wait.
06:53So you know someone here?
06:54Yeah, yeah.
06:55So Gabe and I were roommates, actually, for a while.
06:57What?
06:58No teaming up.
06:59We're going to have to keep you guys separate.
07:01I love Davey, but you know, there can only be one winner.
07:04All right.
07:05It has started.
07:06It's started.
07:07It's time to go.
07:08As long as it's not a football competition, I'll be happy.
07:11Wait, wait, wait.
07:12What type of football?
07:13American football.
07:14Oh!
07:15Real football.
07:16Where's Jonathan?
07:17It's time for the very first festive face-off challenge.
07:24I'm so excited.
07:25What have they got?
07:26What have they got?
07:27Oh my gosh.
07:28Wow.
07:29Great boys.
07:30Seeing Santa's works out for the first time is so cool.
07:34It's very fun and crafty and creative, which is just like me.
07:39Right here is where the Christmas spirit kicks in.
07:42Which is what you will need for your very first festive face-off.
07:48Today, we want you to land the part of jolly old Saint Nick.
07:53Ooh.
07:54I got the beer started.
07:55I got it going.
07:56That's right.
07:57This is an audition.
07:58Ooh.
07:59But there's a peppermint twist.
08:04Your Santa must be as unique as you.
08:08This is about infusing yourself into the role and bringing a piece of you that makes the character rich and real.
08:16That's what good acting is.
08:18What makes your Santa stand out?
08:21The winner of this festive face-off will win an advantage going into the star quality challenge.
08:26And trust me, you're going to want it.
08:28Oh my.
08:29Okay, Sean.
08:30You've got 30 minutes to personalize your Santa suits.
08:34When time is up, one by one, you're going to show us your Santa.
08:38Can I get a ho, ho, ho?
08:39Ho, ho, ho, ho!
08:41Get your glue guns locked and loaded, because the fun starts now!
08:46Oh!
08:47Oh!
08:48Oh!
08:49Oh!
08:50All right.
08:51Anyone else need scissors?
08:52Awesome.
08:53Thank you, man.
08:54Taking these sleeves off of here.
08:55Very first step.
08:56Immediately.
08:57For this challenge, we're going to be auditioning to be Santa.
09:00But we've got to bring our own Santa to the audition.
09:03Growing up, I loved reading comics.
09:05I want my Santa to be a superhero.
09:07I want to save the day.
09:08I want the guns out a little bit, right?
09:10Honey.
09:11Jacket.
09:12I'm trying to figure out who my Santa character is going to be.
09:15So I'm going through.
09:16I'm like, who am I?
09:17Who, what represents me well?
09:20Woo!
09:22That is hot glue.
09:23Okay.
09:24My Santa Claus is going to be a New York version.
09:27I'm from Long Island.
09:28I know that character.
09:29So get ready for Santini.
09:32The New York version of Santa Claus.
09:35So do any of you guys knit, craft, anything like that?
09:38I do.
09:39Oh, you had the gloves when you came in.
09:41Yes, yes.
09:42That's awesome.
09:43Yup.
09:44I am definitely a self-proclaimed nerd.
09:45Growing up, I fell in love with fantasy.
09:48I like the idea of adding a little bit of magic to it.
09:51Because, hey, I mean, that's kind of what Santa is, right?
09:55I do love penguins.
09:56This is perfect.
09:58Penguins find a partner and made for life.
10:00And that's a huge goal of mine.
10:02That burns.
10:03Ow.
10:04One minute.
10:05Woo!
10:06We're doing it.
10:07Ow.
10:08You know, I've burned myself so many times, bro.
10:11Well, at this speed.
10:13Bang, bang, boom.
10:15Locked and loaded here.
10:16Time is up.
10:17Ho, ho.
10:18Hope you finish.
10:19Woo!
10:20Woo!
10:21Go get changed and put on your Santa suits.
10:23I really want the advantage.
10:25But I'm looking at my suit and it's simple.
10:27But I'm wondering, is it a little too simple?
10:29Did I do enough to win this competition?
10:32We're missing a very special gift from Kris Kringle himself.
10:36She's one of my dearest friends and a Hallmark favorite.
10:39Who is going to be helping me judge throughout this entire competition.
10:42It's Melissa Peterman.
10:44Melissa Peterman.
10:45I mean, what a champ.
10:47She's hilarious.
10:48I'm looking at my suit and it's simple, but I'm wondering, is it a little too simple?
10:50Did I do enough to win this competition?
10:52We're missing a very special gift from Kris Kringle himself.
10:55She's one of my dearest friends and a Hallmark favorite.
10:58She's hilarious.
11:00Mr. Christmas is somewhere in this room.
11:02Yes, Mr. Christmas is here.
11:04We just got to find him now.
11:06Hi, everybody.
11:07You look great.
11:08You look lovely.
11:10Well, we have a winner already.
11:12Let's get the audition started.
11:14Remember, bring the magic, bring yourself and show us your Santa.
11:19Robbie, you're up first.
11:22This is the first time I'm going to be in front of Jonathan and Melissa.
11:25Two people that I just admire so much.
11:28And so I am getting pretty nervous.
11:30I'm Santa Claus for the paws.
11:34Ho, ho, ho, ho.
11:36Merry Christmas.
11:37And to all who don't bite.
11:44First of all, the fact that we do not have a Santa for dogs is criminal.
11:47I love that you use the ears.
11:49You put the ears on the thing.
11:50So you have a tail.
11:51I see that you have a dog tail.
11:52I mean, you're literally like part dog, part dog trainer.
11:55Great job, Robbie.
11:56Thank you so much.
11:57Robbie's a contender in this game right off the bat.
11:59Gabe, your audition's next.
12:02This first audition is terrifying.
12:04I'm Penguin Santa.
12:06I'm Penguin Santa.
12:07Penguins find a partner and mate for life.
12:10And Elsa.
12:12Take a breath.
12:15You got this.
12:16You got this, man?
12:17You're good.
12:20Seeing him out there on the floor is absolutely heartbreaking.
12:23Okay.
12:30Um, you got it.
12:32I had, I had.
12:33You got this.
12:38Coming up for this challenge, you'll be skiing.
12:40And your co-star, Janelle Parrish.
12:43Were you heading towards those moguls over there?
12:45Haha, no.
12:48He did a full-on barrel roll.
12:53You got this.
12:56Take a breath.
12:58Okay.
13:01So more about why I love penguins.
13:04I'm from Wyoming.
13:05It's actually, it's really cold there.
13:07It gets down to negative 40 with the windchill.
13:10I don't know what else to say on this thing.
13:11Um, okay.
13:12Penguin Santa.
13:13I love it.
13:14I did not know that penguins mate for life.
13:16Yeah.
13:17Are there penguins in Wyoming?
13:19No.
13:20No, there's no penguins.
13:24I could tell you were a little nervous.
13:25I am a little nervous.
13:26I love the energy that you give off.
13:28I think you've got the greatest eyes.
13:31Send a search party.
13:32I just got lost in them.
13:33I can't wait to learn more about you.
13:35Gabriel, thank you so much.
13:37Rustin.
13:41I'm rock star Santa.
13:42My heart is too big, but at the center of it,
13:44I'm a star.
13:45Okay.
13:46Merry Christmas, Melissa.
13:50Yeah.
13:55Why rock star Santa?
13:57My parents met in a rock band.
13:59Stop it.
14:00How cute.
14:01It's like a Hallmark movie waiting to happen.
14:02It is.
14:03It was such a Hallmark movie.
14:05Thank you so much, rock star Santa.
14:08Good job.
14:09Logan.
14:10I am wizard Santa.
14:21Oh.
14:22And I have come to bring a little bit of magic in the air.
14:27I shall light the night.
14:34Well, I like it because I think it's two magical things.
14:36So you've got Santa who is magical.
14:38Wizards, which is magic.
14:39So kids love all of that.
14:40I would love to see what's underneath the beard.
14:42Can I take it all off?
14:43Yeah, yeah.
14:44There it is.
14:45Oh, yeah.
14:46That's wizard Santa.
14:47Thank you, Logan, so much.
14:48Thank you, Logan.
14:49Good job, Logan.
14:51Davey.
14:52I'm Mr. Liftmas.
14:57Hope.
14:58Hope.
14:59Hope.
15:00Mary.
15:02Liftmas.
15:04Yeah.
15:05Come on, Davey.
15:07Outside piece here.
15:08That's the year that my son was born.
15:10And then I got his name over here.
15:11Soto.
15:12He's eight weeks old.
15:13Eight weeks?
15:14So I don't have the time to work out like I used to.
15:17It shows.
15:18I mean, trying to prioritize.
15:19Please, keep that jacket on.
15:20Nobody wants to see that.
15:22They say living in the moment is a gift,
15:25which is why they call it the present.
15:27Oh, okay.
15:32All right.
15:33Craig, you're up next.
15:35Yeah.
15:36It's super important to set the tone,
15:38and I want to let these guys know that I'm coming to play.
15:41Hey, yo, how you's doing?
15:43My name's Santini, okay?
15:45And I'm the New York version of Santa Claus.
15:47Merry friggin' Christmas.
15:48Forget about it, okay?
15:49All right, you got a one-way ticket to Penn Station.
15:52You take a look.
15:53On the back, you got your New York City skyline.
15:57Oh.
16:00Statue of Liberty.
16:03Oh, my God.
16:04How you doing, baby?
16:05Hi.
16:06You're gorgeous.
16:07Thank you, thank you.
16:08You brought such a unique twist to it.
16:09Santini, great job.
16:10Santini!
16:11Craig's definitely going to be someone to look out for.
16:13Hey!
16:14It's a little intimidating being in this room
16:16with all these guys that have so much more experience than me.
16:19Next up to audition is Marcus.
16:26Super Santa is here to slay the day!
16:32But first, let me remove the mask so you can see the man behind it.
16:37So, hallmark superhero Santa right here.
16:40I'm ready for you.
16:41First of all, let's just give a shout-out to that green ribbon.
16:43Green ribbons, yeah.
16:44They are doing the Lord's work right now.
16:47Good job, man.
16:48Thank you, thank you.
16:49All right, all right.
16:50Thank you, thank you.
16:51Drake!
16:52Drake!
16:53I'm going to stick to what I know,
16:54so I decided to just treat it like modeling.
16:56Throw my jacket over my shoulder,
16:57kind of get that gaze,
17:00and just walk it down with some confidence.
17:05I'm All-American Saint Nick.
17:07I'm going to slay the competition.
17:09I got my cross, I got my family,
17:11and I got my holiday spirit.
17:13Faith and family love that.
17:15I usually don't share too much about myself.
17:16So the more you open up, the more you show us who you are,
17:18the better you're going to do as actors in this competition.
17:20Great job.
17:21Angel!
17:23Ho, ho, ho.
17:24If you've been neglected, bullied, or forgotten,
17:29I'm here to remind you that your life is still meaningful.
17:32I am Santa Angel, here to bless you.
17:35I'm all about giving love and showing my heart to others.
17:38He's already pulling us all in.
17:40I mean, he's definitely living up to his name.
17:43The final Santa audition for the day, Jake.
17:46This is my first audition.
17:49I need to wow them.
17:51I am buff, tough Santa.
17:56And even when it's winter and snowing, I bring the heat.
17:59Oh!
18:00This suit represents the beautiful chaos of my life.
18:02I was a former professional football player.
18:05And I'm your Santa.
18:08Great job, buddy.
18:09So what made you want to go from football to acting?
18:12Why I pursued football as long as I could,
18:14and an injury took me out of it, unfortunately.
18:17And I've been trying to find that piece
18:19that's been taken out of me.
18:21Great job.
18:22Give it up for buff, tough Santa!
18:23Buff, tough Santa!
18:26I did it.
18:27I nailed my first audition.
18:29Thank you guys so much for bringing your best
18:31to these auditions.
18:32You guys showed up and you delivered,
18:34and it was amazing to watch.
18:36Each and every one of you shined.
18:38It was a really hard decision,
18:40but there can only be one winner.
18:43The person at the top of the nice list
18:45who took a risk that paid off...
18:51is Craig Santini Santa Claus.
18:56Congratulations, Craig.
18:57You'll be getting an advantage
18:59going into the star quality challenge,
19:01which is going to be our first acting challenge.
19:04All right, see you guys later.
19:06Let's go.
19:07Go, go, go.
19:08Having some sort of advantage,
19:09this early on in the competition?
19:11Priceless.
19:13Coming up.
19:14You look at these other guys.
19:15I mean, they're handsome.
19:16But I think we're cute.
19:18We've got to use that to our advantage.
19:19Yeah.
19:20Really keeping a squat.
19:21Take a look at your scene partner.
19:22One of you will be at risk of going home.
19:28So I can't help but notice that we're going up
19:30in elevation a little bit.
19:32Oh, there is snow up there.
19:33It's a ski resort.
19:34Oh.
19:35First star quality challenge.
19:38I'm nervous, but I'm excited.
19:40You bring your mittens, man?
19:42No.
19:43That would have been great.
19:45Hey, guys.
19:46Welcome to your very first star quality challenge
19:50at beautiful Woodward Park City.
19:53Every great holiday movie starts with the meet cue.
19:58With our romantic leads.
20:00They lock eyes.
20:01And then somehow, against all odds, fall in love.
20:05I've been acting for 12 plus years.
20:08I had minor roles on TV and in movies here and there,
20:12but I've never done the actual leading man.
20:15So this is a life changing opportunity.
20:18For this challenge, you'll be working in pairs
20:21of your own choosing and have one chance to nail the scene.
20:26You will also be skiing.
20:31I don't know how to ski.
20:33Oh, my gosh.
20:35This is no fair.
20:36Now, before we hand out scripts,
20:38let me introduce to you your co-star for this challenge.
20:41She's a Hallmark favorite who was in Sugar Plumbed,
20:45Never Been Crissed, and so many more.
20:47Wow.
20:48Please welcome Janelle Parrish.
20:51What?
20:52Janelle!
20:53It's Janelle Parrish.
20:54I mean, it makes you nervous.
20:55You know, you don't want to mess up in front of her,
20:57but you get to work with her.
20:58I mean, that's awesome.
21:00Hi, guys.
21:01Hi.
21:02Wow.
21:03So much beauty everywhere.
21:06Janelle, what do you think is really important to nail
21:08when you're doing the meet cute?
21:10I think the main thing is the connection.
21:12It's just all about that spark.
21:14Great advice.
21:15Yeah, okay.
21:16All right, guys.
21:17It's time to choose your pairs.
21:19Oh, dude.
21:20Yeah, no, I'm in, dude.
21:21I'm in.
21:22Let's keep it rolling.
21:23Let's go.
21:24Immediately, I'm thinking Logan.
21:25We kind of match each other's energy,
21:26so I'm hoping that that'll work in our advantage.
21:28I'll help you.
21:29Let's do it.
21:30Let's do it.
21:31I'm in.
21:32Okay.
21:33Who doesn't have a pair?
21:34I'll go Angel.
21:35Yeah.
21:36My guy.
21:37If you're fired up, it's your chance to show us your great
21:39main character instinct, undeniable chemistry,
21:42and let your star quality shine.
21:44Craig, remember when I told you that you had an advantage
21:47going into this challenge from winning the festive face-off?
21:50I remember.
21:51You get to pick the order in which each pair performs.
21:54Ooh.
21:55That is huge.
21:57Craig, who will be the first team performing?
21:59These two lovely gents right here.
22:01All right.
22:02Davey and Angel, you're going to be up first.
22:04Angel has the most on-screen experience out of any of the other guys,
22:07so I figure I could make him shake in his boots a little bit
22:10and throw him off his game.
22:11Robbie and Marcus are going to be second.
22:13I'll take that.
22:14Third, Prince Charming and Logan.
22:17Fourth is going to be down at the end here.
22:20Gabe and Rustin, you'll be fourth.
22:22Jake and Craig, last.
22:23I've skied exactly zero times.
22:26I wanted to go last because I wanted to kind of get a feel for the skis.
22:31Everybody gets the script now.
22:33Whoa.
22:34Okay, okay.
22:35Okay, easy.
22:36Don't rip them.
22:37Don't rip them.
22:38Just going to read one.
22:39Yeah, we can take a second.
22:40I'm going to do the same.
22:41Your hair looks too good to be anywhere but the bunny hill.
22:44Hair looks too good to be anywhere but the bunny hill.
22:47Going into football games, I might only get one pun a game.
22:50So I'm no stranger to getting just one chance to make the best out of something.
22:54But the idea of acting with a Hallmark star like Janelle is making me nervous.
22:59If you have the right teacher.
23:01That's flirty right there.
23:03That's an offer, you know?
23:04If you have the right teacher.
23:05You know what I'm saying?
23:06Maybe a little touch on her arm.
23:08Let's just run through it now that we've both read the whole thing, right?
23:11Okay.
23:12So in this scene, Janelle's character, she falls.
23:15And then the first skier comes up to make sure she's okay.
23:18And then the ski patrol swoops on in and wins the lady.
23:23Do you feel more comfortable being in like a patrol type role?
23:27Or would you rather?
23:28It has a little bit more lines.
23:30Honestly, I don't want to play the ski patrol because their lines are more wordy.
23:36He runs his fingers through his hair.
23:38You have the long hair.
23:39The guy too has a lot of lines, bro.
23:41Okay, well I didn't notice that.
23:42No, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
23:43So I'm kind of convincing him into that.
23:45Good afternoon.
23:46I'm patrolling this hill and I noticed you took a fall.
23:48Are you all right?
23:49Oh yeah, it was nothing really.
23:51Maybe so.
23:52But if you don't mind, I'd like to do a quick checkup and make sure you're okay.
23:54I'm not concerned that Drake has any lesser experience than me.
23:59Because he does bring such good energy.
24:01You look at these other guys.
24:02I mean, they're handsome.
24:03But I think we're cute.
24:05And I think when we both kind of have that.
24:08We got the golden retriever energy together.
24:09Yep.
24:10Yep.
24:11We got to use that to our advantage.
24:12Yeah.
24:13Hang on that I got your back, bro.
24:15Oh dude, same.
24:16I appreciate it.
24:17Yeah, same.
24:18Dave and I have to partner up.
24:19He's a good looking man.
24:20So that's going to be to our advantage.
24:23So show me the stance again.
24:24Okay.
24:25I personally don't have any skiing experience.
24:26I don't even know how like the mechanics of skiing really work.
24:29And like really keeping a squat.
24:31And on top of all of that, we only get one take.
24:33So we can't mess up.
24:35All right.
24:36Time is up.
24:37Head on that way and get changed.
24:38Let's do it.
24:39Let's go.
24:40Break a leg, but you know, don't really break a leg.
24:47Picture's up.
24:48We're rolling cameras.
24:49Rolling, rolling.
24:50Angel and Davey are up first.
24:53Davey's the skier and Angel is the ski patrol.
24:56Okay.
24:57Everybody set, settle and action.
24:59Cue the extra.
25:01Oh!
25:02Oh!
25:03Oh!
25:04Oh!
25:05Yeah.
25:06No, don't worry about me.
25:07I'm fine.
25:10Whoa there.
25:11You all right?
25:12Yeah, fine.
25:13Just a little embarrassed.
25:15Oh, don't be embarrassed.
25:17That guy was such a jerk.
25:18It was totally his fault.
25:19Take your glasses off.
25:20Yes, let's see your eyes.
25:21Take your glasses off.
25:22Do you want to see your eyes?
25:23A big part of this challenge specifically is to make a connection with Janelle.
25:26And Davey's just rocking his goggles the whole time.
25:29Take them off, dude.
25:30Make eye contact.
25:31Were you heading towards those moguls over there?
25:33Oh.
25:34No.
25:35Well, honestly, your hair looks way too perfect to have been anywhere but the bunny hill.
25:40Honestly, with the right teacher in no time, you'd be going down the green circles.
25:44Are you offering?
25:46Absolutely.
25:47Oh.
25:48All right, Angel.
25:49You got this.
25:50Come on.
25:51Okay, now slow it down.
25:52Slow it down.
25:53Whoa.
25:54Oh, my.
25:55I apologize.
25:56Oh, my goodness.
25:58Are you kidding me?
25:59Here.
26:00It's just.
26:01Oh.
26:02Coming up.
26:03Yeah, show that hair.
26:04Oh, show the hair.
26:05Okay.
26:06What kind of guy would I be if I let some beautiful jerk girl?
26:09Do you call her a beautiful jerk girl?
26:11One of you will be going home right now.
26:13I apologize.
26:14Oh, my goodness.
26:15Is it your first day on the job?
26:16He did a full-on barrel roll.
26:17It's just.
26:18Oh.
26:19Oh, my.
26:20I'm just blown away by your beauty.
26:21Wow.
26:22That's so nice.
26:23Oh.
26:24We only get one take.
26:25And whatever happens, we have to get through the end of the scene.
26:28I got it from here.
26:29Sure, yeah.
26:30I hope to see you again soon.
26:31Yeah.
26:32First, let's see if you can follow my hands with your eyes.
26:35Okay, that's good.
26:36Let's test your balance.
26:37Okay.
26:38Grab my hands and hold on steady.
26:41So you're strong.
26:42All right.
26:55Quack like a duck.
26:56Quack.
26:58I cannot believe I fell for that.
26:59Okay.
27:00You had zero hesitation.
27:01You know what?
27:02That's very funny, ha ha ha.
27:03Well, lucky for you, you are clear to ski.
27:06If you're right.
27:07There it is.
27:10If you're mine, I'd like to be a teacher.
27:12Wow, okay.
27:14And cut!
27:15Scene! Good job!
27:17Good job, man.
27:18All right, Robbie, Marcus.
27:19All right, we're up. Let's go.
27:21I mean, Marcus looks like an ad for skis.
27:23I'd buy it.
27:25And action!
27:27Oh, oh, oh!
27:32Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you all right?
27:34Yes, he kept going. Just keep going.
27:36No, I'm still mastering the art of getting off the ski lift.
27:38One day, I think you could hit the Green Circle Hill.
27:40Especially if you had a good teacher.
27:42Look at that smile. Look at that smile.
27:44Are you offering?
27:46Maybe.
27:47You want to go?
27:48Oh.
27:49No.
27:50Hey, excuse me, man. I got it from here.
27:52Ski Patrol protocol. You understand.
27:55Well, okay. It was nice to meet you.
27:58Maybe I'll see you around sometime.
27:59Yeah, okay.
28:03You know, it really is nothing.
28:04We don't have to make a big thing out of it. I'm fine.
28:07Hey, what kind of guy would I be if I let some beautiful jerk girl
28:11just get sidelined by some jerk?
28:13Did you call her a beautiful jerk girl?
28:15I think he did.
28:16Let's get you back on the slopes.
28:18Okay.
28:19Take my hands.
28:21Okay, take your moment.
28:22Okay, come on.
28:23Be in it.
28:24And now quack two times.
28:25Quack, quack.
28:27Oh, I can't believe I fell for that.
28:30And cut.
28:31Great job.
28:32Give it up, guys.
28:33Give it up.
28:34You did amazing.
28:36You did great.
28:37So good, man.
28:38You did so good.
28:39Yeah.
28:40Logan and Drake, you're up.
28:41And action.
28:42Whoa.
28:43Whoa.
28:44Whoa.
28:45Whoa.
28:46Are you all right?
28:47Yeah.
28:48I just, um, well, I'm a little embarrassed.
28:51Were you headed for the moguls?
28:53Oh, no.
28:54No, not quite.
28:55I'm still mastering the art of getting off the ski lift, so.
28:58Oh, so you're a beginner.
28:59Oh, is it that obvious?
29:01Well, your hair is just a little too good to be hanging on to anything but the bunny hill.
29:06That was a compliment.
29:07Oh, okay.
29:08Yeah.
29:09He's so charming.
29:10Oh, my God.
29:11He's so charming.
29:12The ski patrol role is big shoes to fill.
29:14And I'm like, you know what?
29:15Let's crush this scene.
29:18I think that you could, uh,
29:21the green.
29:22Oh!
29:30Oh!
29:40Oh, hello.
29:41What'd you think of that stunt?
29:43That was, that was really cool.
29:45That was like some parkour.
29:46Yeah.
29:47Cool.
29:48Excuse us, man.
29:49I got it from here.
29:50Okay.
29:51Yeah, show that hair.
29:52Oh, show that hair.
29:53Okay.
29:54I'll see you around.
29:55Okay.
29:56I really am fine.
29:57We don't have to make it.
29:58It's the whole thing.
29:59What kind of guy would I be if I let some beautiful girl get ran over by some jerk and
30:06didn't say anything?
30:07Let's see if we can get you back to those slopes.
30:09Uh, Drake is blocking her camera.
30:11Come around her.
30:12Come around her.
30:13And if I can see your hands.
30:14Now quack like a duck.
30:15Quack, quack.
30:16Oh, no.
30:17I can't believe I...
30:18Find your camera.
30:19Find your camera.
30:20Well, it's your lucky day because two quacks means that you're gonna be able to go back
30:23to the mountain, but you're gonna need a chaperone.
30:26Hmm.
30:27Ski patrol protocol.
30:28Cut!
30:29Woo!
30:30Nice recovery, man.
30:31Drake went past his mark and fell and he didn't back up enough, so he ended up blocking
30:36Janelle's camera.
30:37And action!
30:38Whoa, you all right over there?
30:40Yeah, yeah.
30:41I just, um, felt a little embarrassed, you know?
30:44Don't be embarrassed.
30:45It was that guy's fault.
30:46Yeah.
30:47Um, it was that guy's fault.
30:50Oh my gosh.
30:52I'm a pretty new actor and it's just overwhelming right now.
30:56Um, the moguls?
30:59Oh, yeah.
31:00Yeah?
31:01You headed towards the moguls over there?
31:02Oh, no, not quite.
31:03I'm still mastering the art of getting off the ski lift.
31:05Oh, so you're a beginner.
31:07Yeah.
31:08Yeah.
31:09Is it that obvious?
31:10Oh my gosh.
31:13Hey, I'm patrolling the hill.
31:18I saw you take a pretty big fall.
31:20You all right?
31:21Oh, yeah.
31:22No, I mean, it was, it was nothing.
31:23Oh, maybe so, but, uh, I'm gonna stick around and make sure everything's okay.
31:27Okay.
31:28Oh, excuse us, I got it from here, man.
31:31Well, actually, I've got her taken care of.
31:34Oh, I insist.
31:35Yeah.
31:36Ski protocol.
31:37They're the first ones to really connect with each other and have that rivalry.
31:41You know, really, we don't need to make a big thing of it.
31:43I'm fine.
31:44Oh, come on now.
31:45Let's check your balance.
31:46Hold onto my hands for stability.
31:47Now, quack like a duck.
31:49Quack.
31:50Oh.
31:51With zero hesitation.
31:52Yep.
31:53Okay, very funny.
31:54Ha ha.
31:55Hey, you're in luck.
31:56And, uh, you're good to go on the slopes.
31:58But, you know, not without a chaperone.
32:01Ski patrol protocol.
32:03Where do you suppose I might find a chaperone?
32:06I need to learn to fall more often.
32:09And cut!
32:10Yay!
32:11Forgot my lines, but, you know.
32:13You feeling good, man?
32:14Yeah, man.
32:15Craig and Jake, you're up!
32:16I'm actually surprised Craig picked to go last because the longer you wait, the more you
32:20can get nervous, especially for Jake since he's never acted before.
32:23And action!
32:24Oh.
32:25Whoa.
32:26Oh.
32:27Thank you so much.
32:30Oh, I'm just, you know, a little embarrassed.
32:33Do you, um, were you heading for the moguls?
32:38Oh, no, not quite.
32:39I'm still mastering the art of getting off the ski lifts, you know?
32:42So, you're a beginner.
32:44Oh, is it that obvious?
32:46Um, do you, um, I'm sorry.
32:51Oh.
32:52You're very beautiful.
32:53I can...
32:54Oh, thank you.
32:55It, um...
32:56It's a loss of words.
32:57It's, uh, it's kind of a...
32:59Jake is forgetting all of his lines, so if I don't come in and save this scene, oof,
33:06we're in trouble.
33:07Good afternoon, guys.
33:08Ski Patrol here.
33:09I saw you, fella.
33:10Are you okay?
33:11Oh, yeah, no, I'm fine.
33:12It really was nothing.
33:13Probably so, but if you don't mind, I'd really like to just check you out.
33:17Well, it's really nice meeting you.
33:18Yeah.
33:19Um, see you around sometime.
33:21Okay.
33:22Bye.
33:23Okay.
33:24Let's see if we can get you back on the slopes.
33:28He put a little, he put a little flavor on that line.
33:31How do you take my hands?
33:32Okay.
33:33Okay.
33:34Look, he's flirting with her.
33:35He's flirting with her.
33:36He's flirting!
33:37Now, I'm gonna have you quack like a duck.
33:39Quack.
33:40I can't believe I fell for that.
33:41A little louder?
33:42Well, good for you.
33:43Quacking like a duck gets you back on the hills.
33:46You need a chaperone now.
33:48Uh, where do you suppose I might find a chaperone?
33:50Whoever might that be.
33:51Oh.
33:52And cut!
33:53Great job!
33:54Wow!
33:55Good job, bro.
33:56Good job.
33:57Football was that fire that, that kept me going.
34:00And trying to fill that piece of me that's been missing has been really tough.
34:04But being here the short time that I have has really lit that fire.
34:09Felt really good with this.
34:10Felt disappointed with that.
34:11I showed my personality.
34:13I just hope that was enough.
34:15You guys did a great job.
34:17And in classic Finding Mr. Christmas fashion, we have another twist.
34:23Oh, come on.
34:25Oh, what?
34:27Take a look at your scene partner.
34:29Going into elimination tonight, one of you will be on top and safe.
34:33And the other will be in the bottom and at risk of going home.
34:38Now I'm getting a little worried.
34:39That crash was so embarrassing and so bad that there's no way that I'm beating out Logan.
34:45One of you is going home tonight.
34:47We'll see you soon.
34:48You never know.
34:53Let's talk about Davey and Angel.
34:55Angel did wipe out.
34:57Even though once he did recover, it was great.
34:59He did take a little bit of time to get there.
35:01I noticed that Davey took a little bit to come out of his shell.
35:04Because we were waiting for him to take off his goggles.
35:06Like, take off his goggles.
35:07When he took off his goggles and looked at me, I was like, beautiful eyes.
35:10Now let's talk about Jake and Craig.
35:12Craig was really like, oh, we are in this together.
35:15You are locking in with me.
35:16I'm glad to hear that he locked in with you.
35:18And Jake did pretty good with the skiing, but he seemed to forget a lot of his lines.
35:22He wasn't really looking me in the eyes that much, which is hard to connect.
35:25It doesn't matter if you forget the lines. If you're looking at her, something will happen.
35:28So, Marcus and Robbie.
35:30Marcus, first of all, is so gorgeous.
35:32I know.
35:33Like, I was looking at him thinking, am I going to forget my lines?
35:35Now let's talk about Gabriel and Rustin.
35:38I loved Rustin.
35:39He just had this easy confidence to him, and I love that as a scene partner.
35:44Gabe's nerves might have gotten the better of him all day today.
35:47All right, now let's talk about Logan and Drake.
35:49The most beautiful combination of men ever.
35:52Drake came in and overshot his mark and he wiped out.
35:55But I loved Drake's quirkiness.
35:57I wanted to lean into it.
35:58I agree.
35:59Yeah.
36:00All right, ladies.
36:01We've got a tough decision to make, but unfortunately, someone has to go home.
36:05This is the first elimination.
36:10It's literally a winter wonderland of stress and anxiety.
36:14One person from every team is going to be at risk of going home.
36:18That's scary.
36:19I really want this.
36:20I really want to be Mr. Christmas.
36:22Hello, gentlemen.
36:23Welcome to the place where your spot in this competition could be put on ice.
36:28After every star quality challenge, we will join here and decide who moves one step closer to being Mr. Christmas and whose stocking will be missing from the mantle in the morning.
36:40Today, we asked you to perform a classic Hallmark meet-cute.
36:45This challenge was a hard one.
36:47We asked you to act, ski, and connect with your leading lady.
36:52Some of you succeeded and some of you struggled.
36:56But there can only be one winner.
36:59The winner of the meet-cute star quality challenge is a guy that locked in with Janelle and turned it into magic.
37:07And the chemistry was absolutely undeniable.
37:12That winner is Rustin.
37:19Congratulations, buddy.
37:21We were so grounded in that scene.
37:26She was just incredible to act with such a force.
37:29To bring that kind of energy back to me and meet me in the middle is so wonderful.
37:34And that's what makes the magic.
37:35So thank you so much.
37:37Logan, Angel, Craig, Marcus, you all outperformed your partners today and are safe in this competition.
37:50That means Davey, Drake, Gabe, Jake, and Robbie.
37:58One of you will be leaving the competition tonight.
38:01Will you please step forward?
38:03The thing that terrifies me most about this is if I got sent home before I could show who I am and really what I can do.
38:13I just can feel my heart beating through my suit.
38:18It's just gut-wrenching.
38:19Robbie, Davey, the two of you struggled a bit with your props and you kind of flubbed some lines.
38:29You stayed committed and that's why you both are safe.
38:33Go ahead and step back.
38:35As much as I'm relieved I'm safe, seeing Gabe down at the bottom up for elimination, I'm a little bit scared.
38:42It would be extremely tough to move into the next phase of this competition without Gabe there.
38:48Jake, the camera loves you.
38:50Yeah.
38:51But you fumbled the lines and you couldn't seem to recover.
38:55Drake, you have this infectious energy, but we need you to show us your leading man qualities.
39:01Gabe, you seemed nervous during your scene and it looked like you couldn't shake it.
39:07Because of that, Janelle felt like she had a little bit of a hard time connecting with you.
39:12Jake, Gabe, Drake, one of you will be going home right now.
39:25Unfortunately, Jake, it's time to take your stocking down.
39:33You're going home for the holidays.
39:36Jake, you came into this competition doing something you have never done before in your life and you should be so proud of yourself.
39:49I haven't had a time with a bunch of guys and building that bond and relationship since football.
39:55What an emotional rollercoaster.
39:57It's a good feeling.
39:59To have that spark back.
40:02Going home, it's going to be really hard, but hopefully you'll see the space again.
40:12Don't forget, this is a competition and only one of you will leave here a winner.
40:18I will see you tomorrow as we continue the hunt to find Mr. Christmas.
40:25Let's get to know!
40:26Together...
