Episode #1 – Get to the Point! The 9 contestants arrive at the 20,000 sq. ft. Mansion and share their stories of who they are why they have come to learn the speaking and publishing industry from Delatorro. They immediately get their opening challenge and their first dose of content from Delatorro and quickly realize that they could be in over their heads. Immediately afterwards they settle into the luxury they are wined and dined with a private chef.

The next morning, tension quickly escalates, as the contestants have to battle for “The Mic” during their first official speaking challenge, which is an impromptu speaking activity called “Quick on the Quotes” that tests their ability to present with little to no preparation.

On Day #2 of THE KEYNOTE, the contestants are given one day to prepare a 5-minute presentation that will be delivered to a local Toastmasters club. Joined by Monica Wofford, who is one of Delatorro’s Guest Judges, each contestant will be evaluated and critiqued and the winner will earn “The Mic” and get one step closer to being crowned, THE KEYNOTE. Later that night as everyone settles back into the Mansion, Charles Cary is called into The Cellar.
