Each contestant was asked a couple of questions as part of the contest. "What is your favorite clothes when you go shopping?" was answered mostly with "shoes" or "boots", and gave shrugs, a couple of "yes", but mostly "no" when asked if they would marry someone with a beard (girls), or if they would grow a beard like Coach had.

The "beard" worn by Coach may have been more than the kids could visualize, but they did great anyway.
