00:00Previously on Finding Mr. Christmas...
00:05The Finding Mr. Christmas Marching Band.
00:07Six holiday hunks were still in the running
00:09for a leading role in a Hallmark movie.
00:11Merry Christmas!
00:13In the festive face-off, the guys became human ornaments
00:16rolling through the Christmas trees.
00:19Then, in the star quality challenge...
00:21We're having a snow show!
00:22Snow show!
00:23The guys teamed up to bring their own sparkle
00:25to a Christmas block party.
00:27What's up with the Blaze? Are you and your eggs running for office?
00:29Who brings eggs to a Christmas party?
00:32They're a classic. What did you bring?
00:34Brownies. Like a normal person.
00:36One team found the joy.
00:38We are nice.
00:40The other fell short.
00:42Those were awful.
00:43I think I'm gonna need another one of these.
00:45Craig rose to the occasion.
00:47Robbie, you're going home for the holidays.
00:50But Robbie's story came to a close.
00:52Now, just five leading men remain
00:55as we continue the search to find Mr. Christmas.
00:59All right, so we're down to the final five.
01:09Everybody's growing, working hard.
01:11Like-minded people who are all out to see the best in each other
01:14and accomplish something together, it's great, man.
01:16I'm so happy that there are other people out there like me
01:19who can be vulnerable, who can be supportive,
01:22who do get excited about life,
01:24and who still want to make cool art.
01:27How are you feeling, man?
01:28I mean, to make it this far hasn't been easy.
01:31I'm not gonna lie.
01:32Playing soccer all my life.
01:34I was always in the bench and worked so hard
01:38to make it to the starting lineup.
01:40And I feel like I've implemented that into my acting and career.
01:45Yeah.
01:46Like, I started with no English.
01:47I started with no acting abilities.
01:49No experience.
01:50And the work, the sweat, and the passion into it.
01:53And-
01:54Yeah.
01:55Seeing you guys shine every day,
01:56it just makes me work even harder and harder.
01:59We're the Fab Five.
02:00We made it here.
02:01It's an accomplishment.
02:02Yeah, yeah.
02:03Let's go.
02:04Top five on the planet.
02:05Como se dice final five en espanol?
02:08Los Cinco finalistas.
02:10Los Cinco finalistas.
02:12Oh, it's time to go.
02:16It's time to go.
02:17Bring the donuts.
02:18I'm gonna eat some of us later.
02:20Why do I have to be in charge of the donuts?
02:22Hey!
02:25How'd you get into our house?
02:27Oh, hey!
02:28We're down to five golden hunks.
02:31While you all deserve to be here,
02:33only one of you will be crowned Mr. Christmas
02:35and walk out of here with a starring role
02:37in a Hallmark holiday movie.
02:39It's time to show us your strong, silent hunk side.
02:43This is Silent Night.
02:46Picture this.
02:48It's Christmas Eve and Santa can't make it
02:51to the house to deliver the presents.
02:54He asks you to step in and get the job done.
02:57And you have to do it without waking up the kids.
03:00Sounds easy, right?
03:01What you don't know is that delivering presents
03:04can be a dangerous game.
03:07Kids are always trying to catch Santa in the act
03:09by setting booby traps just to catch a glimpse
03:12of the big guy.
03:13Basically, we've created an obstacle course
03:16with noisy booby traps.
03:18You must make a path through all the obstacles
03:20to get your bag of presents under the tree.
03:22Every time you make a sound, you get a point.
03:25In the end, the person with the least amount of points
03:28will win.
03:29Okay.
03:30Cool.
03:31I have a lot of questions,
03:32but I know that a lot of them probably won't get answered
03:34until I'm able to be in the room.
03:36Win, and you'll get an advantage in the star quality challenge,
03:39which you will want.
03:41Yes, I definitely want that.
03:42Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
03:43Those are heating up.
03:44Okay.
03:45Angel, come find me up in the workshop.
03:47I'll see you guys in a bit.
03:48All right.
03:49Shh.
03:52It's time to be quiet.
03:53The challenge has started.
04:08Boom!
04:10All this noise.
04:13Really?
04:16Everywhere I look, there's a booby trap.
04:31I have to be careful, gentle, and quiet
04:37while carrying this sack of gifts.
04:43I'm looking at everything and being present.
04:48Taking pictures with my brain.
04:51Getting Patrick Looked
05:15Unrelieved to finish.
05:17That was actually hard.
05:18I hope the guys don't do as well as I did so much fun it took me back to my childhood my
05:30sister and I were like six and nine my parents always would hide their Christmas gifts in the
05:36closet and my sister and I would be like my mom wouldn't put them out to like right before I woke
05:46up so I couldn't sneak and see them yeah otherwise I would have snuck I'm really looking forward to
05:53this one I think I'm gonna do all right my wife would describe me as a bowl in a china shop so
05:57this isn't exactly the perfect challenge for me that spider-man spider-davey don't make a sound
06:03all right now man this is not the start I wanted
06:18this is absolutely impossible I don't know how I'm gonna make it through this
06:43maybe this one isn't for me
07:01that bowl in the china shop thing I think that feels very true in this moment
07:08looking back I don't think any amount of cartwheels could have prepared me for this one yeah be quick
07:19but don't hurry you know I'm really excited about it I remember as a kid like doing exactly this
07:26wanting to sneak downstairs and see if I could catch Santa this is it time to make my inner child proud
07:33great my strategy is to move as fast as I can
08:03it was a sneakily fun challenge have fun with the booby traps I will
08:31I'm up next my biggest concern is that my pants are a little tight but I'm actually pretty light on my feet I'm like a cat
08:40silent night you have to be as quiet as you possibly can
08:49please do it in the room
08:50oh okay I was gonna whisper it
08:52I'm gonna do the best I can but I mean
09:03what in the world whoever set this up like good job
09:07no way am I going
09:25tight pants tight pants tight pants
09:37oh gosh oh the tree's right there
09:53I'm at the tree
09:55I'm done get me out of this room I'm the worst quiet Santa that ever existed
10:02Craig's been up there for a while I wonder how like
10:09much longer oh there it is oh what's up dude
10:13that was ridiculous
10:15how do you feel like it went
10:18not great
10:19okay I'm fairly flexible although I don't stretch nearly as much as I should
10:25as long as none of the bells or whistles or anything are going off I'm okay
10:52this challenge is extremely hard because I have the bag and I'm trying to maneuver it through all these things
11:01so I'm just trying to take my time to make sure that I'm not hitting anything in my path
11:08I can see the tree it's right there
11:19I just got to go a little bit further
11:23just a few more steps and I can put these presents under the tree
11:26but I mean I'm looking at all the obstacles that are between me and the tree
11:31and I'm thinking I could try to go down there or I can jump
11:36jump from the table does make a little bit of a boof
11:45I don't know I don't know what's gonna happen
11:47hey guys you obviously all did a great job but one of you had the most silentists of nightists
11:54the winner of this festive face-off is
11:59Marcus congrats
12:06I did not think I won that
12:12I was really scared about that jump at the end
12:15and I guess it paid off
12:16big risk big reward

12:37but we still live together
12:38well that's awkward
12:40I think the night's milk gave your piece

12:59I do love chess
12:59I definitely want to teach my son to play someday
13:02we're gonna learn right now
13:04I could keep beating him over the years
13:06until he gets good enough to handle pops
13:09this is like the longest I've been without him you know
13:12how old is he?
13:13letting my wife handle the kid full time

13:33that I haven't been home with my wife
13:35and with my son
13:36that's a huge responsibility
13:37how do you feel like you're gonna parent your son?
13:41knowing what I struggled with growing up
13:43I don't want to impress that upon him in any way
13:46giving him the freedom to make his own decisions
13:48and also encouraging him that mistakes are okay
13:53in fact make them
13:54because you're gonna do so much better
13:57you're gonna get so much further
13:58when you allow yourself to do that

36:19and I watched you get lost in them
36:21for a second
36:22and then two seconds later
36:23he made me laugh
36:24totally
36:25Craig did the perfect mix
36:27of heart and humor
36:29now let's talk about the guys
36:30who didn't fully stand out
36:31Marcus
36:32he started off a little
36:34I wouldn't say in his stride
36:36it did feel a little bit like stiff
36:37like a little bit planned
36:39the problem is
36:39when you're doing a scene
36:40and you're shooting a movie
36:41we have to be correct
36:43and on our mark
36:43from the beginning of the scene
36:45so that is a problem
36:46and there's Davey
36:48he had this pre-planned monologue
36:49he wanted to give
36:50instead of just saying
36:51I'm just going to go with this
36:53he stopped what was happening
36:54to go with something
36:55he was thinking about
36:55that he wanted to do
36:56he wanted to get honest
36:58and vulnerable
36:59and intimate
37:00which that speech did
37:01let's talk about Rustin
37:03it felt like he was creating
37:05these little moments
37:07these little
37:07like hallmark moments
37:09whether they be
37:10comedic or emotional
37:12I felt that the lines
37:14felt a little more
37:14like I'm hitting on you
37:16other than I'm falling
37:17in love with you
37:18just for a second
37:19I mean there's no question
37:20that Rustin is a fantastic actor
37:22like he knows what he's doing
37:23the question is
37:24is he the next Mr. Christmas
37:26we have a big decision to make
37:29because unfortunately
37:29one of our guys
37:30has to go home
37:31tonight
37:32I mean I truly don't know
37:34what we're going to do
37:35I don't either
37:35I'm going to bring the charcuterie board
37:37I'm going to need to
37:37eat our way through this
37:38we have to emotionally eat
37:39going into this elimination
37:49I am by far
37:50the most uncomfortable
37:51I've been since I've been here
37:53I'm feeling the pressure
37:54amounting more
37:55and more and more
37:56I feel like
