Mr. Bakst's video, entitled "The All-Star Roommate Musical," stood out in the way that it "wove a musical tale of his roommate talents, ultimately bringing his jaded roommate around to the conclusion that having Dan as a real roommate is better than having a robot created at home," impressing  judges and the voting public.
