Oh good grief! Sorry Children that I haven't been posting! It's Friday and I didn't update y'all on Face Off this week. It was such an uninspired episode that I guess it slipped my mind?
This week's episode was "Dangerous Beauty." The goal of the foundation challenge was to blend a plant and animal to create a dangerous beauty.
Before we get to that Titanic of a concept the spotlight challenge was much more fun.
Sam Worthington from Being Human (the SyFy version, not the *much better* BBC version) was there to inspire Werewolf wounds. There was some pretty messed up stuff that went down. The winner of the challenge and immunity was Beki. I liked it, but I really don't think her's was the best.
Once the artists returned to the studio they found that it had been turned into a Zoological garden with plants and animals everywhere. Snakes, lizards, wolves, bears, leopards, even a rhinoceros have been brought in for this challenge.
Heather & Rayce: They blended the monitor lizard and firesticks. First off, what the hell is up with those pants? They have an amazing facial prosthetic and their firestick hair is awesome! Why would they insult their creature with harem pants?
Jerry & Matt: They picked the leopard and yellow iris.Their creature was some kind of Mayan Goddess. To me it just looked like a kid dressing for Halloween. Patrick even said the face was overly 'cartoonish.'
RJ & Ian: They had a panther chameleon and an orchid. This creature was incredible! There was almost no human element to it. When the model came on stage it actually unfurled itself form it's orchid leaves to reveal the lizard within.
Tara & Athena: Picked the emerald tree boa and a stargazer lily. While I loved the color combination of pink, yellow, and green, it looked like the creature from the black lagoon invaded Disney (or a gay pride parade.) Why is it wearing a speedo?
Beki & Sue: Picked a blue tarantula and birds of paradise. These two equal a match made in hell all the way around. They fought like cats, and their creature is a complete train wreck. Since Beki had immunity, she let Sue take the lead on this project. I understood some the of creative direction Sue tried to take, but Beki's execution was atrocious. The entire thing looked like an alien directing traffic, If it weren't for the cool facial appliance you never would have known it was a spider creature. According to Ve the texture on the body looked like "vomit." When they got called out in front of the judges for their disaster, Beki had no problem throwing Sue under the bus. That didn't go over well with Ve at all!
Rj and Ian won the challenge with RJ being the winner for his Lady Slipper back piece and providing the creative direction. Team Tara/Athena and Team Beki/Sue were the two teams that were at the bottom but only one could be eliminated: Athena. The judges had been continually disappointed with her body makeup skills, despite the fact that she claimed this was her specialty.
This was not a good episode. The spotlight challenge felt like an afterthought, I don't care for Vivica A. Fox (the guest judge), then after Athena was eliminated
McKenzie goes back stage at tells the contestants, "We're not done yet." The episode then ends. This was not a well designed cliffhanger. Yet according to Face Off on Facebook that was their most watched episode. *blarg* Why couldn't they have watched last week with Tom Savini?
Sorry about my absence kiddos, I should have some more manis for you next week. Until then take care my Children of the Night, and thanks for reading.
