Top 20 face-off for day of games, fun

The Top 20 have been picked and The Rhode Show really wanted to get know them a little better. So, Will Gilbert and Michaela Johnston headed to "Dave and Busters" at Providence Place for a day of fun with the finalists.

First, the group was split up into four teams. They got a pep talk from the ref, Tyrone, who said, "Our main thing when everybody goes out there is to have fun. I have a lot of teams that go out there and are like ohh ohhh.  No, no, I want you to have fun."

Then, it was off to the gaming floor and the trash talking began.

One of the contestants, Samantha Gaus from Cumberland, was feeling confident about her team.

"We’ve got this our team is ready to win today we've got really strong players".

Then it was game time.

First up the race track was Mikela Almeida.

"I’m not gonna let anyone psych me out, I have my teammates behind me. I’m pretty good.  I like to compare myself to Vin Diesel from 'The Fast and the Furious.' Not going to toot my own horn."

Next up was basketball

Tyrone the ref warned the guys before the game, "If you decide to talk junk to the ladies make sure you can back it up." 

One after the other they all took shots at the net. 

"It was a tough battle, but it was a lot of fun, it's all about just getting in the rhythm. But it was good, it was a team effort. My team has supported me and that's why we came out on top," said Todd Stewart.

Winning at this game was great but making it to the top 20 wass better.

"I was thrilled. I am thrilled to have such an amazing opportunity. I live about an hour away, I live in Massachusetts, I love Rhode Island so I was just ecstatic," said of the top 20, Angela Christoforos.

Jamie Laliberte, "I kept asking people to pinch me, and my friends were like 'we're not being like that. We don't want to pinch you'. But it does feel so amazing and wonderful to have this opportunity. There are no words to explain how excited I am."

Andrew Williamson said, "I couldn't even believe it. I was actually at work, and my mom called me crying. And I was like, 'I’m at work, I can't think about this right now', and then I realized what she said. And I was touched, excited. I didn't believe her I was like, 'no you must have heard it wrong'. It was a really awesome moment in my life. It's definitely going to go in the family book, I think. I wish I had a picture of her when she was like, 'my son!'

The winning team in the end was the “Clamcakes.”
