with a local business as my sponsor I am

entering as team hockey Holmes

I've heard of guys doing crazy things to

get back at their exes but this takes

the cake

sponsoring the grandmother of

gingerbread the godmother of it you know

what I like grandmother better is that

edible stained glass yeah you know if

there's one thing I learned from this

press conference it said I gotta up my

game if I want to win and I have to win

look if you put all of your eggs in one

basket you know what other basket do I

have I mean I've spent the last five

days living the most wonderful dream and

I'm terrified that I'm gonna wake up and

it's all gonna go back to the way things

were

do you really think you feel like this

just because I'm a contest you're right

I just never thought that hanging out

with Nick would bring up all these

feelings that I tried to bury

I have to tell him tonight yeah um don't

don't tell him in a text I'm not I'm

just asking if he has time talk to me

Kylie I have two pieces of good news

first of all Bobbi's teacher emailed me

the cupcakes were such a hit she wants

him to come in and do a demo for

Valentine's Day that's great

what's the other news just a little

something to say thank you Oh

tickets to the competition my Christmas

bonus came early but there's like ten of

them here yeah I got one for me for

Bobby for Ralphie to use the kitchen

staff that's really sweet I don't know

what why not

I just want to drag everybody out there

to watch me lose I'm just feeling

overwhelmed can we just dial back the

pressure a little please yeah yeah um

I'll tell the kitchen staff not to come

but honestly I really think you could

whoa what happened in Santa's Village

huh my niece's thought it was delicious

I don't know Nick I just wasn't feeling

like it was enough and with the opponent

that I'm up against I just needed that

wow factor what do you think about this

I think it's a perfect imitation of

someone else's work

you don't understand I mean Ines my

competitor I I have to I have to get

into her shoes I have to think what

would I to do really well I'm more

interested in what would Kylie Watson

here and that's a nice thought but you

don't understand the pressure I'm under

Kylie I've known you your entire life I

get you I get that you can make

Christmas out of a pool of melted

frosting I get that you can make people

feel something with what you make you

just need to trust your talent well you

don't get as my entry has to be up at

the end by tomorrow morning I mean

everything is at stake here

you're right I don't get it you sent me

a text you wanted to talk to me about

something

I can't I'm sorry about

what I say while we talk about it in my

office

kid is being called into the principal's

office that's because you are they said

um before your dad died

you asked me to look after well I don't

need looking after

I'm a grown man and I got work to do

okay but just just answer me one

question make it a fast one why are you

giving cars it's a hard time about the

contest I want her to trust her talent I

don't want this to end badly for her but

how about you clarify son that's two

questions

I think you're anxious I think you're

scared that once the contest is over

she won't see Kylie come on man no no

you come on

and you're crazy about her I can see it

in your face every time you say it me

you you want me to take a poll of the

kitchen staff what are you waiting for

tell her

I wanted to like a hundred times I just

I don't want to be that guy what guy

that guy who thinks this time it's gonna

be different well are you kidding me

if people didn't think this times gonna

be different they would never go on a

date you can call my wife and ask her a

whole marriage is based upon those words

those words should be engraved in

schools and churches why so we can get

people's hopes up do you want to live a

life without hope yeah yeah

hi Nick listen I'm up at the end and

I've been thinking about this contest

and how crazy it's getting I just have

to face the facts I think I was so

excited to be spending time with you

again that I actually convinced myself

that I could win and it's nothing you

did it's it's just me but I think we

both know it wasn't meant to be

Alex you're overdoing it it has to be

perfect

will love it no 11 Kylie what are you

I'm withdrawing from the competition you

now you think I need you to withdraw in

order to win no I'm sorry that came out

wrong it Alex what is going on here I
