The ten contestants enter the house and get to know each other. Jonathan Bennett greets them and introduces them to the competition rules. For their first Festive Face Off, the contestants have to design an ugly Christmas sweater and wear it on the runway in front of Bennett and Melissa Peterman. Isaac was declared the winner of the first Festive Face Off.

For their main Star Quality challenge, the contestants had to star in a short movie scene in pairs. In the scene, the contestants had to fight for the attention of the female lead, who was portrayed by Erin Cahill, who also served as the guest judge for this challenge. As the winner of the Festive Face Off, Isaac got to pair up the contestants.

The judges declared Hayden as "tonight's shining star," i.e., the winner of the first Star Quality challenge. Isaac and Parker were selected as the two weakest performing contestants, with Issac getting eliminated from the competition.
